Warming and Lubricating the Speculum

Warmed or cold as she wishes, as long as I get to use the spec on her.

I have had both warm and cold, metal and plastic.

If it's cold, it's another sensation to deal with and that's not so bad. **grin**

If it's warm, I can focus on other sensations, and that's also not so bad.

OOOOOPS... Sorry everyone. Looks like I posted my words wrong on post 26 in this section. Yes, the gyn did dialate my cervix in that appointment. It was for an endometrial biopsy that he felt also needed to be done. It was not to see if the rouge tampon had slipped into the cervix. Sorry for confusion and the wrong info.

I had one doctor who had them warmed on a heating pad in the drawer. All the others have run it under warm water to try to warm it up some and provide a little lubricant to help ease the insertion. Even though the metal speculum is briefly run under warm water, it still feels a little cold when inserted, which I really don't mid so much either 😉 I guess they would have to run it under the warm water much longer to actually warm it up so it wouldn't feel chilly, but they always do it for just a few seconds under the warm water.

My doctor wamrs the speculum every time!

During my first visit, she insisted I took it myself, it was so cold brrr

The doctor my girlfriend uses has a thing like a heating pad in the top drawer of the exam table. The metal speculums sit on that and they keep them covered with a towel. This keeps them warm and out of casual site.
