For ladies: dressing for gyn exam

What do you prefer dressing for gyno exam? Do you prefer to be examined completely nude or with a gown?

I've never had a GYN

I rather be nude because it just seems odd 2 take off 1 item at a time

I've never had a GYN

REALLY? How old are you?

I like to have a gown. First I lower the gown and he examines my breasts, then I pull it back up, slide down to the stirrups and lift the bottom of the gown.

^^^^ Girls, get with the program. YOU are responsible for your health--not the government, not the insurance companies, YOU. Get a basic exam, if you are in college, go to the infirmary, or even at a free health clinic.

When I was in college, I went to the infirmary every six months and also to the free health clinic because I didn't want my parents knowing I was getting checked more often than twice a year, even though my boyfriend, who is now my husband and I were seeing only each other after our junior year.

When I go for my exam, I am completely nude under the gown. The doctor has me lower the top of the gown so he can do the breast exam, and he has me pull up the gown so he can do the pelvic exam.

All should get an annual GYN exam. What switchablesusie said above is right. I know some young (20s and 30s) girls who had vaginal warts that were pre-cancerous. The sooner that is caught the easier it is to fix and it is curable. Don't let being embarrassed keep you away from the exam. It could cost you your life.

I like a gown better. Otherwise, I get cold. Not to mention, it seems more erotic, just uncovering one thing at a time, pretending to be shy about it.

I agree with always_wet, I love wearing the gown that is lowered for the breast exam, then lifted for the pelvic. I like to end up with it all bunched in the middle, and my breasts exposed while I'm in the stirrups ...

If they try to give me a paper sheet in addition to the gown, I will decline - tell them that I don't want to contribute to the landfills - but really, I just like to be a bit more exposed ... :😃

I know when my Wife goes to her her doctor she given a gown to undress into.For some reason her doctors office has never provided her a sheet to cover herself up with for the pelvic exam.How ever when she went to the local Family planning Clinic many years ago.She was never given a gown to change into.She was always told to undress from the waist down and to un hook her Bra and leave her shirt on.Then was given a sheet to cover her waist for the Pelvic exam.

I am a bit of an exhibitionist so I prefer nothing but usually the nurse gives me a sheet to cover with. The doc lowers the sheet for the breast exam and then covers my breaasts and exposes the lower area for the gyn exam. I find the exams very stimulating

I can see it varies from culture to culture. If the exam room is very cold a gown and some covers would definitely help. If the temperature of the room is around 25 degrees Celsius being examined in the nude wont be so cold but there is still modesty issues.

It seems like Europeans are the least modest, having their exams in the nude. Maybe it is the culture, less inhibition, or trying to keep costs down by not providing gowns. North America seems to be modest, protetecting the woman by providing a gown. Other parts of the world are so strick, its a wonder they even get exams at all.

Hi all,

I suppose the UK is not quite like the rest of Europe. Here we only get smear tests once every 3 years, and they are done by a nurse usually rather than Dr, so no internal exam etc. In terms of dressing for the exam if we wear full skirts then we only have to take off knickers (panties) and tights and lie on couch hitching up the skirt so legs can be opened for the smear (no stirrups). If we are wearing trousers then it is naked from waist down with a blanket covering. I have worn trousers only once and prefer to wear a skirt, seems more intimate pulling up a skirt.

I've never had an exam without a gown. I just cant imagine it being the same.

What do you mean never had an exam?

How come?

I have always had a gown in makes it more intimate.

My partner gets a sheet for minimum cover, but is nude underneath. With breasts and vulva exposed, covering the rest seems unnecessary.

Depends on the exam. If its gyno - naked, for any other I do as the doctor/nurse asks.
