Exam Gowns

Cloth is all I've had. It feels good on my naked body.

The cloth gowns are by far better than the paper ones

Yes they are and a few uniform websites sell them for cheap

My wife and I have the same GP and cloth gowns are used. My wife's gyn also used cloth gowns. Our Dermatologist uses paper.

I prefer cloth but have had to use the paper ones

The only time I had a gown (for a colonscopy two years ago) it was a cloth one. I also had a pair of shorts and a pair of hospital issue slippers to wear.

Paper in the US because everything seems to being going toward disposable these days.

I am in the US and I've only once had to use a paper gown, and I have a chronic illness and lots of appointments.

Better quality paper gowns today feel almost like cloth. Most real cloth gowns are a polyester mix anyway. The tissuey bibs, vests and half gowns women wear for a physical or check up are simply created for some degree of modesty. Only a full cloth material gown is suitable if the patient is being moved, transported around a hospital or facility. I have worn both. I have also received diagnostic tests wearing only disposable booties.

The medical facility that I go to uses cloth gowns and disposible booties for their patients to wear during exams. My peference is cloth gown, by far more comfortable.

In France you have no gown at all.

Usually you have to undress to underwear for all the examination.

For an exam for me and probably other males, it is strip to underpants without a gown, then pants off for the genital and rectal/prostate checks. I imagine his female patients are provided gowns.

The only time I've had a gown was a couple of years ago when I had a scan and it was a cloth one.

Cloth gown at my doctors office.

I've had both, and vastly prefer cloth.

BTW, has anybody else noticed the gowns the patients on "House" wear? They seem to wrap like a bathrobe, with ties at the waist, and now figure in my fantasies.

Never.. i was always nude during the examination =)

It's always been cloth for me, never been offered a paper one in reality or play, and wouldnt want to either.

Like the crinkly paper idea for added discomfort, but yet it is so uncomfortable and not in a good uncomfortable way. Cloth wins, I think.

Only cloth for physicals... at my derm skin exam its no gown but lap paper and underwear

I prefer a cloth gown, its that last bit of protection before I'm completely exposed. The paper sucks. I hate the fact that its so small and scratchy and doesn't cover anything....if you want me to wear that, I may as well be naked. ha. I like knowing that theres a bit of a barrier, even if they're the one i charge of what they see and when they see it.

I prefer a cloth gown to the paper ones. Much more comfortable. With the cost of exams these days, it shouldn't be that much of a problem to get one if you want.

My doctor uses paper gowns. I like that better as it exposes me more. The sound of the paper is awesome too. Sometimes I'll leave a stain if I'm precumming too much.

The paper gowns are quite uncomfortable. I prefer the cloth ones.

I think the gowns are absolutely stupid, unnecessary and a waste of resources. I have even told my doctor that. Also say "why? You're going to ask me to remove it and look anyway. Now I just don't put it on and start out completely naked. My doc is used to me now.

Only on two occasions have I been offered a gown. In both cases the gowns were cloth. I prefer just to be in my underwear ... or nude ... but provided with a paper drape for covering my genitals only.

I have never had the option for the paper gown/drapes. I have had on one occasion the nurse handed me the gown and a sheet out.. I siad I really didn't need either one of them. But she insted I should have something as I assured her I will just take the gown and I stripped to my colored tightie briefs. That was the best exam EVER. See one of my storries from my profile. TRUE.. all of it. Its been almot 3 years now since I have a thorough exam so maybe going back to that place I will get an exam to remeber and share it on here. After explaining to them hey I haven't had one in three years ( to mention I have usually gone EVERY year so things may have changed.)

Never had a gown, always had to just take off what is necessary for the exam or to unserpants and socks, then pants lowered if required.

Depending on the mood of the nurse it is either the paper gown or the large paper napkin to drape over my underpanted self seems a bit silly as you aren't een naked underneath.

I've had both paper and cloth. I much rather prefer paper.

At outpatient radiology clinics, I have usually been given a cloth gown. At the doctors office I haven't been given a gown in years, just a paper sheet. I was a bit surprised the other day when I went in for a day surgery procedure. The gown the gave me was paper, a "high end" gown made of thick high quality material but paper nonetheless.
