Tie gown or leave it undone?

I leave it open

This is one of these topics where i read it & go "Oh i want to see all of THESE responses". Plays right into my medfet.

The interesting thing i gathered was how many nurses specifically instructed to leave it untied. Since there is a concern about maintaining patients' modesty, and what are the ties for in the first place. And how long does it take to untie it anyway where it would be considered a time saver (unless someone tends to tie in tough knots). And the fact the nurse makes it a point to say it.

I've seen videos for women physicals where the gown is opened on either the front or back. The back opening would obviously be a pain to tie & it's only the back where there's essentially no private parts. Ladies with the opening in the back have to drop their gown to their waste for breast exams.in an "all or nothing" state of cover.

Then i watch the front opening breast exams, & i love the way docs fold back & carefully methodically tuck one side back to examine a given side at a time.I enjoy watching that, & probably would also enjoy doing it.

In the cases where you're NOT instructed to specifically leave it open, i wanted to see who might like to tie it for the enjoyment of having the doctor untie it to feel the gown being untied as a dynamic of feeling the "he's untying my gown to expose me to himself so he can look at me & examine me where i would otherwise be covered for modesty" effect..Similar to the preference of either the doctor lowering your panties or asking you to do so yourself.

For play exams, i'd have the nurse specifically tell you to tie it, so i could have the privilege of untying it.

As a male, i've made an interesting transition with the whole gown concept. I had gone the first 30 years or so of my life without ever being offered a gown. All exams were done in my undies, the same way I've been typically dressed at home, so it's not like modesty was ever an issue. So when i was first offered paper gowns, i never bothered with them, especially where the doctor was male. Then as time went by & in recent years i'd be examined by women, the new nurse practitioner & now my lady dermatologist, it was more about compliance & making THEM feel comfortable (that i wasn't being aggressive or anything by insisting on being practically nude in front of them).

My wife leaves it tied.

I know it was only last month when I had my exam but I cannot remember if I tied the gown or not. I do know that I would have been better without it though, I thought it was a nuisance. It did nothing for me because I am used to being topless on Spanish beaches and even nude for about 5 minutes this summer. But it protected my male gynecologist from seeing too much of me at once. :-)

@ Amethyst is it possible to give some lessons to my wife please ?

Hahaha Arthur But what do I need to teach her?

@ Amethyst I must say I had a fit of laughter when I read your reply:

In my clinical environment (ITU) we usually only tie the first tie at the back of the gown if we do tie the gown at all , in the majority of cases we simply leave them untied. The majority of our patients are sedated, intubated and ventilated and due to their clinical condition we may require access quickly so fumbling with ties can cause an unnecessary delay.

But I suppose in the course of a routine medical exam, the use of ties can help provide a sense of modesty, comfort and feeling of more relaxed and less apprehensive about the upcoming exam.

I have a friend who goes to an outpatient center for nerve block treatments. She is 4"11" and the gown they give her are huge. She has to be walked from her room to the surgical suite with an IV line and bag attached to her hand. So I have to tie the gown through the openings at the shoulders and around her back or she would be exposed during her walk. On the walk back, one of the nurses holds it closed.

Hello Rn1993 Well what sort of impression would he have got of me if my gown had slipped off? I want to be able to go and see him again next year. I do not want him to be afraid of me. Hahaha

The idea of a gynaecologist being traumatised by female nudity is a great one. It's like talking about a water damaged umbrella or a heat damaged frying pan, isn't it? 😁

Amethyst well said:

Dr Z I could not have expressed it any better:

When I accompanied my wife she ties it in the back and moves the material for most possible coverage. Dr did nice job of moving gown out of he way for pelvic exam. She was fully exposed. Great !

I usually leave it undone in the back unless I have to leave the exam room for some reason. They give you blankets at my doctor so I cover whole bottom half up while my feet are in the stirrups. When it's time to take a look the doctor has me move it up.

Not all the doctors offers a gown. Even when they do, I have trouble reaching back, so I leave it undoen. It is for a very short period anyway till the exam starts.

My wife has a gown that opens in the front for ease of breast exam access and her bottoms are covered with a flimsy blanket that usually ended up on the floor for the 2 I've witnessed

While your waiting it can be tied but the dr/nurse may help you un tie for the exam. If you are going back for surgery it will definitely be untied before you lay on the OR table

My wife gets a paper vest and a paper sheet. Nothing has ties.

I honestly don't think my wife has ever tied it. but for her last exam, which was only a pap, she just had a paper drape over her lower body, she was still wearing her shirt, they only had her strip form the waist down.

I never tie it...the gown is wrapped around the front, sheet on lap. My husband puts gown on open in the back and ties his...which nwver made sense, he has to lift ot for then testicle, penis, and hernia check...why not open in the front and this waynit just opens, no need fon the fuss of holding it up???

Are you present with him during his physicals?

I sure am...my gyno is also a urologist and has really become both of our PCP. We will always attend each others exams...over the past 3 years we have had them at the same time.

At my first one the nurse told me to take off all of my clothes and put on the gown with the opening at the back and gave me an extra little blanket thing to help cover my lap. I did tie it, but when he went to do the breast exam he asked me to lower the gown, but the I couldn't get undone. Finally the nurse got it undone for me and helped me lower it and get my arms out of it.

My doc has cloth gowns that sort of wrap, although that may be because one size fits all and I'm petite. It's intended to be put on to open in the front and, yes, I do tie it. As for a pelvic exam, the gown is short enough that when I'm in stirrups I'm hardly covered "down there". Gowns are not intended to be fashionable and they're not. 😃

Being a little kinky I tie mine, so the doctor has to untie it. For some reason it feels more invasive for him to undo the gown.

@Creekstone fishing for a spanking are we?

I always tie the gown even tho they clearly are going to look at my Vagina and anus but I still tie it up

Leave it undone. Why bother?

When the nurse tells me to undress and put the gown on she tells me to have the opening in the front and gives me a drape for my lap. I never tie the gown because I know the doctor will need it undone soon because he examines my breasts and heart shortly after coming into the exam room and then soon after that I’ll be in the stirrups.

I leave it undone whether I’m advised to have it open in the front or back.

I leave the opening in the back and tie mine then pull the sides out from under me when I get on the table so my naked bottom is touching the paper. Then after the doctor listens to my lungs etc. she says she is going to drop my top and she just pulls the bow loose and it falls.
