This is for the ladies out there....I was just wondering if when you have to be examined, do you find that doctors in the USA use stirrups or leg rests to hold your legs open.

In the videos, we see a lot of the leg rests and not a lot of stirrups being used but I was wondering what is going on in reality.

Like to daydream but want to do it as close to real as possible

Unfortunately in the UK , in the doctors surgery it is just legs up and knees drop out to the side... ?

I have had stirrups and leg rests. Leg rests are definitely more comfortable and I greatly prefer them. If they are not available stirrups are ok.

I haven't had a real exam yet, but most commonly here they use stirrups (I've noticed them on exam tables at doctor's offices before). If I could choose them for either a real or play exam (which I haven't had yet either, as I'm new to it), I'd pick leg rests.

I have been having pelvic exams as part of my annuals since 9 years. Lived in different cities but everywhere I had stirrups. Even the trans vaginal and rectovaginal exams done recently were in stirrups. I didn't find them uncomfortable.

Today I went to hospital to see my gyn for certain issues I was surprised to see that gyn chairs were replaced and now instead of flat bed like structures that I have had everywhere, there were chairs with leg rests.

I can tell that I was Extremely Comfortable in this chair with leg rests. And maybe psychological, but I also felt less exposed. The legs had support!! rather than just my feet being supported. And maybe I was comfortable, so the pressure in bimanual was lesser too, not sure of this though.

I was wondering in my mind, how all these years I sustained in stirrups. Leg rests are So Good😃

Now I am not going back to flat bed and stirrups setup again😃
