LADIES - Frog leg position

No. Although hours just before my husband and I made love for the first time, he dared me to pee in that position.

It was his birthday and I took him to Red Lobster. That is significant because I would never kiss him after he ate seafood. Well, after this my rule went down the toilet. Anyway, after this, I took him hot tubbing.

We were playing truth or dare at the hot tub place, it was his turn. I took a dare. He dared me to pee in the mulch (it was outside in a small room that was landscaped) while he watched. I tried so hard but I just couldn't do it with him watching. As soon as he turned away, I was able.

In college, I had an exam in this position. They didn’t have stirrups.

It was used at least once for a prenatal visit by my wife here in the US. I try to give her her privacy, so I was either at her head or behind the curtain for that portion, but I remember the directions.

Having arthritis in both hips and knees, the frog position is impossible for me to maintain for more than a few seconds without pain. So the last internal I recieved was knee chest position, basically giving the Dr plenty or room to exam me and easy insertion of a speculum, although it's a very humiating position and you feel vulnerable, indeed usually only in this position for sex.. I think that's what makes it more embarrassing.

Beth, there is also the option of the left lateral position for internal, vaginal and rectal examinations. Accepting that an internal examination will never really be "dignified " this position is at least somewhat more dignified.

Never had the frog leg in canada

I have seen my wife have plenty of exams in the frog leg position. Having been pregnant four times lead to plenty of exams in this position.

When I was younger the "frog leg position" was used at my pediatrician's office and to be honest I never liked it much. It always felt weird and growing up made me dislike that position even more. A few friends of mine described the same position to me as well, so I know I wasn't alone when it came to that part of the exam, but sometimes there are things that simply need to be done, even if we don't really like them.

When had an exam not an internal just one the doctor only wanted to see the labia spread and vulva area he had me do frog leg position and spread me open a little more to do external exam.

This is the position i use to insert a catheter in my patients in hospital. With a woman it's not unusual to need more than one person for the procedure.

Yes my doctor did that at my physicals until I started seeing a new doctor around 18 or 19. Just an external exam down bellow, probably lasted all of 30 seconds.

Ok, Ive had this done twice so far in my life. Once when I was at the pediatrician , I didn't know she was going to be examining me there. She guided me into this position with gloves on then she started to spread my labia and lift each inner fold thoroughly up and down the whole thing.

Another time was at the pediatrician office, although I was in high school. I was asked to assume the position and she spread me open down there, checked the labia and also spread me open and checked my anus. (That story was thoroughly described on my page) .

Most of my exams have been in stirrups, but i have had a few exams in the frog position. Once when i was at my pediatrician appt while they did an external exam to see how i was developing.

And once at a primary care as i was older when i had a problem that didn’t necessarily require and internal speculum exam, so it was just easier to be put in that position.

Does this ''frogleg'' position differ from the so-called '' diaper change position'' ?

Does this ''frogleg'' position differ from the so-called '' diaper change position'' ?

Yes it does differ. They are not the same.

Diaper change position means the legs are pulled up into the air, bent and then the knees rest on the chest.

Frogleg position keeps legs flat on the examination table, spread open wide with the heels of the feet pressed together.

If you try out both positions, I've always found the frogleg very uncomfortable and hard to maintain for long.

Not at my gyn clinic but by a gyn. At my home. This was a few days back. My first time. I started having pelvic pain at night so next morning mom called neighbour gyn. As it was home and no gyn table was there she asked me to take frog leg position

Just waiting for my letter to come through telling me to come in for my annual private medical exam and then i'll get my lips pulled back in this position. No speculum, but possibly a 2 finger test will be done.

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.

I was definitely put into the frog position when I was young. I remember being 5 or 6 and having the male pediatrician get me into that position to examine my vagina. He only looked briefly and spread the labia.

I had a gynecologist a few years ago that had me in the frog position for an internal exam, and I was surprised she didn't use the stirrups.

It's my favorite position for play, I enjoy thinking about being examined in this position and use it for self examination.

My significant other and I attend appointments together, including our annual physicals. Our internist (GP for those of you in Europe) performs her genital exam with her in the frog leg position. After her abdominal exam, she is asked to put her knees up, put her feet together and let her knees fall apart. The doc then dons gloves and gives her a fairly thorough external genital exam, inspecting and palpating her labia majora, labia minora, urethral meatus and introitus. She also retracts my gal's clitoral prepuce, but does not touch her clitoris.

Her PAP and bimanual/rectovaginal exams are left to the GYN, but our doc does perform a rectal exam, with my SO in the left lateral decubitus position.

I think it's cruel for a doctor to ask a woman to get in that position.

@Shypatient why do you feel it is cruel ? Please explain ?

I think it's cruel for a doctor to ask a woman to get in that position.

I'm not a woman, but have tried out this position often enough. I suppose it could be somewhat uncomfortable if you are not limber enough or particularly athletic (I can't touch my toes if my life depended on it just to show my lack).

However uncomfortable it may be, I can't understand why the position would be thought cruel?

Perhaps an explanation might give more insight?

I had to be in the frog position when I’ve had a catheter put inside me both my urethra as well as my uterus. I have been examined as well like this. I like being in this position. My partner loves me in this position at the end of the exam table.

Only during a medfet session with someone who lacked a proper place to do an exam with stirrups - not anything I'd submit to again. Unless...for a quick something or other if it was insisted upon. Not for anything prolonged. Very uncomfortable.

@Deviant1 got it mostly right, but left out that I'm still wearing my panties at this point. Our doc simply asks me to pull them off when she's done with my abdominal exam. I can forgive the omission, because his brain is clearly addled by blood flow going to another area during my exams. 😉

Yes, well, what would you expect? I mean, I am a man, after all.

I always had to do the frog at my pediatrician

My GP asks me to do for frog leg position when I have a pap smear. This is the only position she asks for last 10 years.

Dumb question here - Is the “Frog Leg” position the same as the “Diaper” position?
