Exam Gown Questions

Oh man I love to hear about these gown stories.

I've always been asked to remove everything but my bra and to wear the gown with the opening at the back. It's dropped to my waist when my lungs are being checked then I'm asked to remove my bra for the cardiac exam. My gown stays loweres while the doctor checks my breasts and then it's raised again when my abdomen is being felt (a sheet covers me from below at this point). My bra stays off until I'm allowed to dress at the end.

Nobody has ever stayed in the room while I've been putting the gown on.

I've been asked for both on different occasions, always undressed privately. If there was no privacy in the room I'd ask for the bathroom. I tend to keep my doctors on a short leash. 😉

I've always been told which way to put the gown on. During a urologic procedure a couple of years ago, I placed a standard medical gown in a consultation room, and was then taken to a sterile procedure room where I was asked to change into a new gown. There was a doctor, nurse pactitioner and a medical assistant all in the room. I expected them to leave, but they did not, so I dropped the old gown to the floor and placed the new one. I don't think any of them even noticed as they were doing their preparations for the procedure, but it was embarassing/exciting for me!

I think that it is more erotic for the patient to undress and put on the gown in private....There is the heightened anticipation during the wait

My girlfriend enjoys putting on a gown be it either a cloth or paper gown and sitting on the exam table waiting for her doctor to knock and enter the exam room she thinks its very erotic

Family doctor opens in back. Gyn office opens in front for easier access when doing breast exams and "down there". Undress alone.

Gyn wise it's always vest and drape. The vest opens at the front for the breast exam and the drape gets wrapped around while I'm waiting. As for getting changed it's always in private either behind the curtain or in the bathroom.

My wife's physicals are done with her having to remove everything, including her bra and panties, and putting on a paper vest, opening in the front, and a paper drape for her legs. The vest only comes down to her navel, and the drape only comes down to about mid thigh. So a little bit of her flat, firm well toned abdomen shows, as well as about half of her well toned thighs. She always changes with only me in the room. Since we have conjoint exams, we get to watch each other not only get undressed, but get thoroughly examined as well. We had our conjoint physicals just over two months ago, and I already can't wait for next year's exams!

The gyn I have been seeing recently is a cloth gown, but I have been to some in the past that use the paper vests and paper sheets. Interestingly, as I am a BBW, sometimes the cloth gowns don't fit well, and I have to ask the nurse for a larger size. Sometimes they don't have larger ones so it's a bit embarrassing when the gown doesn't cover me - especially when I need to walk down the hall to the room with the transvaginal ultrasound in it

In Italy, my wife experience:

At gyn she has to get totally naked, she is allowed to leave on stokings only. No gown or drapes are used hut usually there is a curtain to undress behind.

When you're sitting on the exam table wearing the gown and waiting for the Dr to come in, do you cross your legs and maintain modesty or keep legs slightly apart and still modest or does modesty go out the window ?

Thanks

When my wife is receiving her annual exam from her obgyn, she is given a paper vest and a paper drape and told to undress. One time I was there and she was told the vest opens in the front and the other time nothing was said except to completely undress. At her PCP, when she gets a physical, she is given a cloth gown with the opening in the front so her breasts are accessible for the breast exam.

She didn't specify my first time around, so I put the opening in the back...she has specified ever since. Lol I'm just stupid, I guess. The doctor always leaves the room. I think I would be too nervous to change in front of her.

Beestreet my doctor always wants them open in the back. Don't feel dumb.

Yes beestreet, I think the doctors preference to having the opening to the back or to the front seems to be about 60/40 with the 60 percent wanting the opening in the back and the 40 percent wanting the opening in the front. So please don't feel stupid. You know we are taught from about 2 how to put clothes on, and that there is a front and a back to most items of clothing. And if parents have a lick of sense they teach their kids that the front goes in front and the back goes in back. So putting on an exam gown with the opening in the front goes against everything we have been taught since we were 2. So please, don't feel stupid. You did the logical thing.

The nurse always says to wear the gown with the front open, like wearing a jacket. I prefer the cloth gown way better than the paper gown.

The nurse and doctor always leave the room so I can undress alone. I believe this is mandatory. Unless I can't donit myself.

At gyn she has to get totally naked, she is allowed to leave on stokings only. No gown or drapes are used hut usually there is a curtain to undress behind.

Same here, never have been given a gown in my life.

I have been to see my private gynecologist for a check up twice now. I put the gown on with the opening at the back and I think that is the way round the nurse said. Of course the nurse went away when I was going to get changed. I think it would be a bit silly if I was watched getting undressed or the gown would just not have a point. Well I would not have minded if there had been no gown really because I just find it fiddly. My gynecologist has seen everything now anyway but just not all at once. Hahaha

His nurse says (exactly):

Take everything off, even your bra and panties.

Put the vest on, open in the front and use the drape to cover your legs.

I get chills every time she says that, knowing I'll soon be spread open for a man I don't know (other than this capacity, obviously) to see my every part.

She leaves the room while I undress and returns with the Doctor a few minutes later.

I'm enjoying going back and reading old threads. I'm commenting on a few here and there, so newer members can see them and add their own replies.

At my gynecologist's office, I'm asked to remove everything and put on a paper vest, open in the front, and put a paper drape across my lower half after I'm seated on the end of the table. The doctor and his MA leave the room while I'm undressing, but my significant other is there.

I once had a Gyn nurse practitioner who had me unhook my bra but leave it and my blouse on, while removing everything below the waist and using the paper drape over my lower half.

At our GP, an internist, I'm told to remove everything but my panties and put on a cloth gown, open in the back for a physical. The MA and my significant other are in the room, but there's a cubicle for patients to go into to change, so I have privacy. For a sick visit, my state of undress depends on what the issue is, but most often, I remove my blouse and sit on the table in my bra and pants/skirt.

At my other docs, it's often either everything off under a gown, open in the back, or bra and panties under a gown, open in the back.

I don't have to remove any clothing for visits with our osteopath, except for on the initial visit when she did a basic physical and musculoskeletal testing.

My first full exam was from a female NP and she had me put the gown opening facing the front. The male MD doctor I used to see has me put the opening in the back and undoes the ties and only uncovers one breast at a time.

I have been to at least 4 different gynecologists. All were different. The first 2 were paper gowns that opened in the back.

My fave was this poncho for the top where he could easily access from the sides with a drape that went over the bottom. He cared about dignity.

My current one has this weird bathrobe thing and a long sheet.

I have always changed on my own.

I have always just had the opening in the back doctor has never said specifically either way just feels a little less exposing I guess, had a paper gown once and tried tying it off in the back and ripped the daring thing was like uhhh oops

My gyn doctor has cloth gowns and his nurse tells you to take everything off and leave it open in the front! She says they will be back shortly to take a seat on the table! They come back in and he does his thing!That’s the only doctor that has ever had me to undress! I’ve had doctors to raise my top to listen to my chest!

My new obgyn gives a bathrobe for exams when she is done with the area she just pulls the gown closed. For transvaginal ultrasound they just have you remove your pants and give you a sheet.

My wife gets a cloth gown and is told to put it on open in the back. She also gets a cloth sheet and instead of a paper cover in the table is a a cloth civer.The gowns are six different colors. Exam room nurses have matching color uniforms.

Open in the back no one in the room
