Dress/Drape/or... Nothing

I would be interested in what the current trend might be for coverage, or lack of, during a pelvic exam. I know it can run from full draping to nothing, but would be interested in what you are experiencing today.

For my most recent exam (last month), I was told to leave my shirt and bra on and remove everything from the waist down. I was given a paper drape for my lower half. Of course, that's a real exam.

In play, I prefer a cloth hospital gown. To me, it's more naked than naked.

For my recent Gyn annual last month, I was given a cotton gown to change into for the exam. It looks just the one that I have for play! Of course, the real life exam was nothing like the fun of the play exam.

Males for physicals generally have no gown. I was at the urologist and was told to undress and the doctor would right in.

I have never gotten a gown before. Usually, when I am at my doctor's office for a physical, I am asked to undress and leave my briefs on until later when it needs to be removed. There has been a few instances, when I had to undress completely before the doctor starts his examination.

My current doc's practice uses cotton cloth gowns. My previous one in another state used paper drapes.

I get a paper exam gown with a paper lap sheet

The last few times my wife got a full gown with no drape.

I have drape and gown, but both end up pretty wrinkled and useless by the end of the exam since the doctor has to move them around so he can see everything anyway...

The doctor does my breast examination first and then tells me to put my feet in the stirrups, this last time he took a hold of my ankle helping me into the stirrups at that point I'm draped and he sits between my legs using the speculum first and then he does the Bi-manual and last his middle finger in my rectum before he lets me out the the stirrups.

My real doctor provides a cloth examination gown. I put it on opening in the back. During the breast exam he lowers the gown to my waist. During the abdominal exam the gown is pulled back up to cover my breasts and then raise up from the bottom to right below my breasts...the lap drape is lowered to just above my pubic bone. During the pelvic exam the drape is pushed just above my belly button and still covering my legs.

I prefer my subjects to be naked, makes it easier for access!

Paper exam vest and paper sheet for a drape. Also had a full paper gown with no drape.

Cloth gown with opening in the front and a paper drape across my lap.

Believe I've responded to this topic before in another thread on here, but...

I am always completely naked for the entire duration of my exams. My doctor just isn't much of a believer in gowns 😃 She will provide them upon request, but I don't mind 😃

I am normally offered a gown but I reason that as I am going to be seen bit by bit anyway, I may as well dispense with it.

If it's a pelvic exam i would undress from the waist down and no drape or gown would be used.if it was my physical i would be naked wearing a gown that usually is too small for me so its always opened in the back

In the UK routine pelvic exams are normally done 'upskirt' or if wearing jeans etc then undress below the waist.

The practice where i currently go uses cloth gowns

In Portugal it's possible to find the 3 options at gynecologists: totally undressed with gown, undressed wait up first for breast exam redress and undress waist down for gynecological part and in some cases total nudity with a small sheet that covers the non examined part. This last one is only used by female gynecologists.

It's intersting to know that in several manuals the total nudity is advised at first apointements so the the gynecologist may be able to evaluate development and/or hormonal issues based on natural fat distribution and natural hair.

Im always handed a cloth gown with a sheet gown is open in the front and the sheet over my lap

A paper gown that opens from the front

GF gets a paper gown with a sheet to cover her lower half.. At her regular GP she is only in bra and panties and by the end of the exam she is completely naked..

Where I get my exams we are given paper sheet things, basically like a very large napkin...

For my exams, I undress completely and am given a gown that opens in the front along with a small paper sheet to drape my legs with.

My wife has typically been given a cloth gown although a gyn in Chicago used spa-type robes. A class act, she was! In Atlanta, the norm for women seems to be a paper drape only. I guess it's up to the user whether to pull the drape up or leave it in the lap. As for myself...it's me and my boxers most always.

At my wives last annual exam with her obgyn where she had a pelvic exam. She was undressed completely and was giving a paper vest to cover her breast and a drape for her waist.

Here in europe the ladies just get bottomless without any drape or so

Can be a few options in a real life setting

- keep skirt on

- a gown

- a sheet/drape

But never naked

Wife at fertility Dr always wears dress so they have her hike her dress up and give her a drape
