LADIES - Frog leg position

In the UK it is always the frog leg position at the GP surgery. At my wife's exams she is aske to draw her knees up and then ‘let you knees fall apart’. Sometimes the nurse will push them further apart if the are not wide enough.

Frog leg position for my partner when we were in Australia- for both Pap smears and IUD insertion (although that was her legs resting on a lower shelf at the end of the table). Only stirrups I saw were in hospital during a colposcopy.

I had my last pap smear taken in this position. The doctor asked me to put the soles of my feet together and let my knees fall apart. After carrying out a thorough visual and manual exam of my outer and inner labia he inserted the lubed speculum into my vagina to carry out the pap smear. He was having difficulty visualising my cervix as and after several minutes of pushing the speculum around inside me at different angles, he asked me to make my fists into balls and place them under my buttocks. I found this to be very embarrassing but it seemed to work as he took the smear.

A close female friend of mine often found the speculum uncomfortable during a pap smear, and on one occasion the doctor suggested that she did the same as you and put her clenched fists under her bum while he inserted and opened the speculum, it seemed to work as he found her cervix easily but I'm not sure if it was any more comfortable for her. During a play exam I normally ask the woman to put a pillow under her bum, that makes finding the cervix, which can be elusive at times, a whole lot easier…

I've never even heard of this, but every exam table in the clinic I go to has them built in (tucked away until needed), not just the gyn ones.

Im asked to remove my underwear and lay with my heels together and knees out. I always feel helpless and embarrassed when i feel my lips part open and the cool air on me. Then the doctor spreads my labia apart and slides a finger in while pressing on my stomach. I hate that i can't hide my facial expressions while it's happening.

When I was a child, at the pediatrician, currently at the general practitioner, for a vaginal exam and at the hair removal.

I had this experience on a trip abroad over 20 years ago. We were in a very rural area when I got severe abdominal cramps. A gynecological practice or even the outpatient clinic of a hospital were hours away. The nearest doctor I could reach was very nice and also acted as a gynecologist for the local women. There was no examination chair, however. After I had exposed my abdomen, I was asked to lie down on a simple examination table. A small, firm cushion was pushed under my bottom. Then I had to put my legs up, pull them up, knees apart and put the soles of my feet together. This gave me free access to the vulva, vagina and anus. She carried out both the vaginal and rectal palpation examinations in this way. Unusual, but no more uncomfortable than on the chair. There were no problems with the speculum examination either. The doctor was probably using the speculum the other way around, with the handles facing upwards.

A number of off topic posts have been removed, mostly from male members. If you notice a missing post, that maybe the reason.

As has been stated earlier, this is a topic for the "LADIES" to post about their experience. Let them have their topic.

I have memories of this at my pediatrician’s office in the early 90’s. I’d be lying on my back and he would push my legs apart. Anytime he came close to me though, I’d close my legs tight. You could tell this irritated him, he would end up having a nurse hold them open if I wouldn’t cooperate. As a child this was extremely humiliating. My mom, my sister, the doctor, and nurse were all there to witness. Sometimes the door was even left slightly ajar, so anyone in the hall could see too.

I remember it being a tad traumatic, and cried when he opened my labia. I was extremely uncomfortable and even with someone holding my legs I would fight to close them. He would check for abnormalities on the outside first, then open my labia to feel around just a very little bit with the tip of his finger. Most of the time he would also check my butt hole for any abnormalities and to make sure I was wiping good enough. Rarely (mostly when I was having constipation issues) he would insert a finger into my rectum to feel for hard fecal matter. It wasn’t very far obviously, but to me it was the worst violation.

Sometimes he would move me from the frog leg position to having someone hold up my legs in diaper position. Normally in this position, I would receive a suppository if needed and/or get a sound smack for not cooperating. I remember a time where I received an RT in this position too. I feared the pediatrician’s office and threw a fit anytime I had to go. If I wasn’t being humiliated with open legs, I was being held down for a vaccination. My fetish behaviors didn’t start until I was in middle school, a very long time after my traumatic pediatrician experiences.

At the GP, at the midwife.

Yes when I was at the pediatrician. He told me to put my feet together, move them up towards my bum and open my knees

Not a “lady” but a non-binary transmasculine human with a vagina here…

Growing up, my pediatrician would examine me in the frog leg position telling me while I was on my back to bring my knees up as far as I could and then let my legs fall apart and put my feet together. It always embarassed me but at the same time, excited me.

To this day, when I masturbate, I normally lag in bed with my legs spread in a position similar to frog leg. I don’t usually have my feet touching but they’re close.

When my wife was pregnant with our second child, she had her feet in the stirrups for the exam, but the doctor took them off the stirrups and put them on the exam table closer to her butt and then examined her that way.

I was routinely examined in the frog leg position for an external genital exam with my family doctor. She started doing this exam at age 12 and continued each year during my physical exam with her, the last being at age 18. I have had a couple exams as an adult that I was instructed to get into the frog leg position, but more often when I've had a genital exam outside of the gynecologist, I've just been told to part my legs some.

I only remember being asked to get in that position when I was younger by my pediatrician. I almost think that position is more vulnerable and exposed than the stirrups, especially during the awkward period of development.
