Foot stirrups vs. leg rests preferences

I have only had stirrups

I have only ever had stirrups at the gynecologist, however we have a set of leg rests for home use. If given the option at my gyno, leg rests wins the day. In my opinion, they are just more comfy for long periods of time. Hy hubby prefers me in stirrups at the doctor or home, he says it is more sexually attractive and vaunerable.

I have only had stirrups, but they don't bother me like they do some women.

My ex girlfriends gynecologist had let rest however she also routinely did office procedures as well which required them.

Leg rests have been common in Europe for some time.. but I believe US doctors are slowly but surely converting to them as they update and remodel their offices.

Only stirrups IRL

Leg rests in my fantasies

My wife prefers leg supports she is a larger lady but both hold her legs wide for procedur

My gf has always been in stirrups during the pelvic exam and pap smear never been in leg rests

I’ve only been in stirrups and was told to open my legs wide from side to side. Or let my knees fall open wide as I’m moving down to the end Of The exam table with the Feeling that my bottom is falling. And then I’m guided as a bright light Is all of a sudden shinning down there. And I was never told where or when the dr was going to enter his finger in me. While he pulsates my lower belly. Which would make me bear down. And grunt too. Especially when he entered my anus or anul area and up my rectum pushing up while pushing down on my lower belly.

All I know is his finger was large. Because I could feel it after I went home. More so because he probed me hard in the back. Or I wasn’t use to it as I was young.

100% stirrups for every real life doctor I have ever been to.

Now that I have both stirrups and Brewer leg rests for my own personal examination table I've experienced the difference between the two. I wanted to try them so my husband purchased and installed them on my table. The leg rests are comfortable and easily positioned. My legs fit nice at the bended knee and the rest itself is covered in soft black vinyl with a fantastic amount of soft cushion material. The rests are connected to the sides of my table with very strong and easily adjustable hardware. Everything works smooth and holds my legs wide and very sexy! The rests work great for gynecology and rectal exams and enemas. There is only one set back! I don't like my feet dangling or without a place to anchor them. Other than that I like them!

The stirrups, on the other hand offer me a place to set my feet and make me feel secure. Often during rectal exams I'll have the desire to push. Or during enema expulsion I'll need to push! With my feet held against the stirrups I can push and feel anchored or held in place. To me that's the biggest difference! So I'll enjoy my medical or fetish fun best in the stirrups. We use the leg rests from time to time but they play second fiddle to the stirrups.

I wear high heels during my fun times. I like open heel and toe 3-4 inch heels with stockings. The curves of my ankles and calves are easily accentuated set in the stirrups. Makes my legs look pretty! Can't do that with the leg rests either!

So it's mostly stirrups for me!

I have seen only stirrups in the GP's office but saw one Ob/Gyn that used neither.

She had me put the soles of my feet together and knees to the side. It wasn't too uncomfortable.

Always stirrups, never knee supports in the US. But I'm curious to read through other posts. 😉 I myself am a fan of knee crutches because when I'm in stirrups, I have a nervous tendency to want to draw my knees together during the exam. The knee supports take that option away from me and leave me feeling more vulnerable with less control.... 😉

I'm in Canada and my doctors have always used stirrups.

I prefer stirrups

I have only ever had stirrups.

In the UK we use the frogs legs for routeen, but my wife has had both stirrups and leg supports . I prefer to see her on leg supports.

For a play exam I would prefer leg rests I think

I had the leg rests once when I had a cystoscopy. I liked them.

I watched a TV drama a couple of years ago during which a woman was having artificial insemination. The scene wasn't explicit but the woman was in leg rests while the doctor to performed the procedure. I must confess I did find it rather erotic....

My wife has been in both and she prefers the leg/knee rest she feels more "tied down" in those

My preference is definitely stirrups most of the time if I am being examined, being prepped or used for anal or vaginal intercourse on a Gyno table. As discussed by another women, the stirrups give me much stronger purchase to tighten my anal and vaginal muscles. She also said the stirrups allow her to show off her great legs and heels and I agree with that. If I am going to be on the table for a long time, perhaps several hours or being vaginally fisted, I prefer the leg rests because I can totally relax.

If I am playing with a man, I always strap him in the leg rests so he can't close his knees on me. In Europe, where I have had most of my Gyno table experience, I don't think I have ever see stirrups. Over there the Dr offices and the clubs all have leg rests on chair like things that tilt back as well as move up and down. Really perfect for adjusting angles and height to facilitate anal or vaginal penetration with men of different heights. In Germany there is a specific fetish around the Gyno Stuhl.

From my experience as "playdoc". The knees are loose in the stirrups, it depends on the woman how much it stretches. The calves supports force to stretch and adjust as needed. They can not bend. For painful procedures, ideal. Even for attachment.

Unfortunately, all my real exams have only been in stirrups. This seems to be the standard here in the USA. I guess that why i have regular stirrups, leg supports and candy cane supports for my fantasy exams.

I usually have stirrups but I find the leg rests more comfortable when I’ve had them for procedures.

Until recently, I had only been in stirrups. That changed recently when I went to a urogynecologist because I was having repeated UTIs. I found the leg supports much more comfortable than stirrups, which was a blessing since I was in them for at least 30 minutes.

I prefere leg rest because it is more comfortable as i lay there. Only had stirrups once, and i find it more uncomfortable. But regardig how i feel exposed, leg rest do feel more exposed, even i know both types do the job of exposing

I've only ever seen doctors that have stirrups.

My doctors exam table just has stirrups.
