What do you prefer: foot stirrups or knee rests?

You are correct . they enable a better view.

My teenage daughter has had two visits to the gynecologist. On the first visit she was in regular heel stirrups. She had a difficult time with c ertain portions of the exam.

Her last trip, the doctor intentionally had her taken to an exam room with leg crutches. Her mother reported that she had a much easier time dealing with the exam in those circumstances.

As she pointed out(in a way only a teenager can), "I never felt so naked in my life...I hope he got a good long look!"

Never gotten to experience knee rests... wanted to before reading previous posts but now I may soon become obsessed with trying to find a way to experience it : )

I just bought a used Ritter Midmark 104 Exam table which has the standard pull out Feeorest stirrups. I definitely want to add some kind of easy mountable and adjustable Knee crutch stirrups. DAMN they are expensive! If anyone has any ideas where to get them cheaper or you have a pair that you would like to sell, please advise and email me here. They do not have to be fancy or hq, but anything similar to a pair of UMF 251 Bierhoff Knee Crutches for Molded Stirrups would be perfect. I think these are much more exposing and comfortable for the patient and would even like to be in them myself 😃

I was just in knee rest because of prostate surgery. I no know wha a female feels like spread out. The female nurse was good looking so it was hard not to get a big hard on. It was strange when she strap mylegs in and could not move them. I quess she culs have done anything with being like that.

Knee rests are definitely more comfortable. Easier to stay spread open for longer periods of time. Stirrups really get uncomfortable quickly. Plus I like the feeling of being restrained and vulnerable in knee rests!

I've been in both for med fet play. Prefer stirrups for my high heels when cross-dressed !

Prefer knee rests...for comfort

Definitely knee rests. The patient is more exposed then and a better view for the doc 😄 . I also think knee rest is more comfortable than stirrups.

I like the knee just more comfortable for me

Definitely i would go for the knee rests, it's way more comfortable than stirrups. My doc has 2 tables and sometimes she positions me in the stirrups (don't like them)

I was in knee rests less than an hour ago for a cystoscopy, I always knew this, but knee rests are much better and if it hadn't been for what was going on in the nether lands, I could have stayed there all afternoon. So now I've had a complete anatomic and physiologic tour of my lower urinary tract. Pretty cool stuff if I do say so myself.

Thanks , Ladydocisin - I get a cystoscopy once a year due to a bout with a bladder tumor some years ago. At first, it scared me to death, now I look forward to it, it is as you point out "pretty cool"

I have home made fiberglass knee rests that can be supported from below or hung from straps. Works better if using a metal rod from below. The victim can't move as much during the procedure.

While stirrups are the most common in the US, there is a gyn practice near me that uses knee rests. I thought about making an appointment there to see how they are. Maybe it's time to find out.

Knee rests all the way. I love the feeling of support and having my knees forced apart. Also, foot stirrups don't look very appealing.

Has to be the good old UK "frog legged" style for me!

I would like to try the knee rests but i have only been in the foot stirrups

I have never experienced neither but I definitely think I would prefer knee rests.

That's something I'm dying to experience

Knee rests

Sounds to me like knee rests will be alot more comfortable than the stirrups

Knee rests are definitely more comfortable

I think I would like the knee rest but what do I know I have never tried either one.

Knee rests are more comfortable especially for longer exams

I have only had my feet in stirrups, be nice to try the knee ones.

Interesting - never heard of knee rests b4. sounds wonderful!

I prefer knee rests, especially the ones with straps so you're forced to keep your thighs spread.

I've only used foot stirrups but like to fantasize about my legs being forced apart and strapped to knee supports.

Knee rests are so much more comfortable. The real problem is that most doctors around my area don't have them. I really had to search for a dr. with the exam chair and knee rests. Well worth the search.

I prefer feet stirrups
