Feet strapped in stirrups?

Has anyone ever had their feet strapped in the stirrups durin a pelvic exam? I saw an old exam table that had lether type sandles to hold the feet in place.

Never for myself. Many years ago, I held a friends hand while she had an abortion and her legs were in knee supports and were strapped in.

When i had my cerclage placed my knees were strapped in stirrups.

My head was down and my legs were placed up very high.

It would not be routine for a standard exam but if an ucomfortable procedure was scheduled perhaps

...Leather buckled stirrup straps are common on examing tables used in girls' reform schools and houses of detention. The feet are slipped in and tightly restrained. All incoming inmates to an institution are seached and inspected within each body cavity. The rule is complete immobility of the examinee.. The inmate must present herself naked for and anal and vaginal seach..after which she is placed in lithotomy upon an examing table for further exploration of the vagina and rectum.

Photos of straps dangling from stirrups are not uncommon in fact the makers of exam tables like Ritter and Hamilton include the restraints as part of a common package when making a sale. Even in pediatric gynecology a young patient may kick while the speculum is going in thus causing pain. Immobilizing the feet is a quick and efficient way to insert the speculum effortlessly.

Strap those feet down and stay nice and still for the doctor 😃

I never really had that happen to me and I dont think there were any straps (at least not visible) on the exam table.

Interesting point though that polly made. That makes a lot of sense.

Hello polly_3ox, Do you examine males?

I think the real life medical world has a expectation to only use restraints during an exam/procedure where the patient might be unaware/not fully in control. A pelvic exam is usually fairly routine. Now if you are talking about the well fitted play doctors office... that's a different story. Lord knows what you will find/experience.
