Favorite type of Speculum or exam equipment

@Dr_Philip, If the speculum is moved about I will orgasm. If I use my muscles and squeeze I'll have an orgasm. Here is a favorite! With a speculum snug in my vagina my darling doc uses Warm KY Jelly on the end of a soft Make Up Brush to stimulate my clitoris. That will put me in La, La land. That's a favorite! Give that a try and your patient will return! I Ga-Ran-T they will!

Oh, I like a warm speculum, medium but I've taken a large.

@multitasker, That "double decker" idea sounds interesting. You have a great idea!

I second that........maybe you should patent that.

That sounds delicious, thanks for the tip! As a play doc I'm always eager to learn new ways to give pleasure.

I normally use a medium or medium-long metal speculum, but some do request a large. I guess it is the thought of it that gives them the thrill. Actually some of my patients have requested that I use it cold as it comes, or even chilled a little. The cold of the metal juxtaposed with the heat of orgasm I guess. You obviously like your speculum nice and warm and your orgasms nice and hot!

Interesting comments....I have done the same thing and as you said....it's highly effective

The complete exam goes pretty much like this: my patient is placed in the lithotomy position and prepped with betadine. I use 4 clips and two short lengths of heavy twine. I place a clamp on each labia, one at the top and one down at the widest part. I then go around each thigh and connect the twine to the clamps. When this part is done, she has 4 clamps being held open with the tightened twine and her labia are spread.

I then insert a Collins speculum in her vagina and open it up enough to keep it inside her. This serves to expose her urethral opening and her clitoris.

Next I insert another Collins into her anus and also open it until it stays put on its own.

Once she is settled, I then insert her catheter and inflate the retention bulb and after establishing urine flow, I seal off the cath.

Finally, that large soft make up brush is swirled all around her clit, using my free hand placed on her belly and my thumb retracting her hood.

Indeed, this is mindblowing for the lucky patient. I have repeated this process on a couple of occasions with different patients and get the same results. whenever possible I will do this particular exam.

Hi :-) You have some experience to be examined by these "two-part" speculum. For example, Kristeller, Doyen. What is the difference feeling? What are the speculum you feel and which are more comfortable for you?

My favorite speculum to use, so far, is the Trelat speculum in a medium size. I also really like the Mathieu 3 blade rectal speculum. That one may just very well be MrsFn's favorite.

My favorite thing of all is our Ritter 100 exam table, complete with stirrups. It has been the best money I have ever spent. It works great for gyno med fet play, and also bondage play.

Longest is not always the best. I have Doyen 2 inches wide and 4 inches long. The length of the vagina is "consumed" to stretch and the cervix is ​​perfectly accessible. But it hurts. By stretching the entrance. Other mirrors are longer and narrower. They do not open so much, but they are tense inside. But again, the uterus runs away.

I use Collins and its easiest to handle in my Opinion

@DocV, I agree the Collin is the easiest to handle. I have one in each size of small, medium, and large. MrsFn does like them too. The Trelat speculum is similar in that it opens side to side, but it's blades are on a rack and pinion that allow them to be opened parallel if desired. It also has a nice hefty weight to it. MrsFn really enjoys that one. Just some reasons why we like it.

I recently purchased an assortment of small, medium, and large disposable speculums, they seem to do alright for casual exams. I lost my proctoscope and good speculums when I moved a few years ago (need to replace them soon)

Mine would have to be the Graves speculum. I also enjoy using the lateral wall retractor. From my readings on here I came across the Ferguson vaginal speculum. I have just purchased it but have not tried it out yet.

Cheers,

Doc

No need to choose favorites ! Collins if I had to for the effectiveness in visualizing the patient.

Certainly here in the UK a plastic speculum is now pretty much the standard for such an instrument but which do you prefer, and would rather have used during your examinations, metal or plastic? I've heard that the feel is different between the two, is this correct and how does it feel?

I found out what metal speculums are like when I bought a steel collins and a graves too for my husband to give me play exams, I would prefer metal when I have my real exams too really. My gynecologist, he just uses plastic ones like are standard.

They feel different to me because the metal feels cold if it is not well warmed up, the plastic does not feel cold to me though. I have heard a lot of women think the plastic ones are a bit pinchy some times, It has not happened to me but maybe my gynecologist is just really good at taking them out. The plastic ones creak a bit too and when I was 25 and it was the first time I had a plastic speculum put in I got a bit worried I could break it because I have done kegel exercises since I was 12 and my husband says I am really strong down there. lol

I prefer metal over plastic because I think plastic has a tendency to pinch and thats such a sensitive area anyway and to be pinched there is not at all comfortable.

For me the Trelat is the king of specuala. I love how both blades are adjustable for both angle of spread and also width of spread at the introitus.

I like my steel Collins, especially for self-exams over cam. Easy to insert and open one handed, with a good view. Right now I only have a size medium but looking into getting a large, which is useful after a thorough vaginal dilation.

I also would be lost without my vaginal dilator set - had really helped with stretching exercises to make exams and intercourse more comfortable.

Love this one for the spread it has.

This is also a dream speculum for me.

Oh I wish these would be used on me ?

Any type of metal speculum is better than plastic however my favourite has to be the Collins speculum.

Opens nice and wide and leave urethral opening on display and at the mercy of the person wielding the spec.

i have to agree with carrie here i like using the collins speculum due to the shoulder on it...

Yes the Collins is a very nice instrument to use, it has a very smooth and comfortable action as it opens the vagina and exposes the cervix. I wouldn't particularly recommend it for a virgin as the metal blades are perhaps a little wider and thicker than other speculums, but most women in my experience find it very pleasurable...

Does anyone know what's the best speculum for a rectal exam?

@Cajun50us I had a Bodenhammer - easy to Google images of those and all others. Not sure I'd say it is "best" but it was more than enough for me.

I used the Collins one on my patient either vaginally and rectally (big success :-)), but my dream is to try the 3 prong Mathieu Rectal one...

I have had a Mathieu 3-prong rectal speculum for a number of years now, and I'm afraid it's not all that it's cracked up to be. The prongs themselves are very narrow and tend to inflict some measure of pressure-pain to the rectal wall, even if one is able to take the dilation when fully opened. And it is notorious for pinching the rectal tissue when closed beyond a certain point upon removal.

Nah, the Collins is definitely better unless you happen to be enthusiastic about pain and bloody anal pinch wounds.

@flburst58 thanks for your comment. That's a shame... If I am a fan of pain (just a little) I am not a big fan of blood...

I remember a famous Belgian video where a lady was receiving a rectal exam with that speculum and it looks great to me!

I think it's irresponsible to use a Collins Speculum rectally as you can cause potentially lifelong injury to the rectal sphincter resulting in continence issues, not to mention causing anal tears and fissures.

There are specially designed rectal speculums like the triple blade Mathieu Rectal Speculum.Nice and easy to use and much safer.

Metal Collins feels the best going into my vagina. Opens so much smoother than the plastic.

I prefer to be opened side to side as opposed to top to bottom with the graves.

I have only had metal Graves. I do not like plastic speculums.
