What do you do with your clothes?

They will be folded on the chair near the exam table. Once I went for an ultrasound and they kept my shirt and personal items in a locker.

I usually place them on a pile on top of a chair near the exam table, if I need to remove my underwear I just place it on top

I usually just throw my underwear on the pile in the chair, but my wife is adamant about hiding hers. I wonder why?

I put mine on a chair or a table . i put my underwear on top of my cloths.

After completely undressing, place them on chair.

Place them on the chair in the exam room. This is not the chair that the physician would use but just a regular chair which all exam room seem to have these days.

For a physical, my wife neatly folds and places her clothing on one of the two chairs in the corner of the exam room. She isn't shy, so she just places her bra, panties, and pantyhose (if she is wearing pantyhose that day) on top of her clothes. Then she dons the paper vest, opening in front, sits up onto the exam table, and places the short paper drape across her lap to await her full and thorough exam.

For my physicals, I just lay them across one of those two chairs in the corner. I wear my boxer briefs for the physical, I don't wear the offered gown.

For any other type of exam or procedure, we only remove what is necessary, again laying or folding whatever article of clothing was removed neatly on a chair.

I fold my pants up and put them on the chair in the exam room. If I'm wearing underwear, I will fold them up and set them on top of my pants.

- Underlying theme of "neatly". Unless you're out to make an impression or want to kill time, knowing it will probably be a wait, i'm wondering why bother being neat, when you're just going to put the clothes back on in a few minutes anyway.

- Why a woman might hide her undergarments. if she feels they may have become a bit soiled. or are some people just uncomfortable with undergarments, being they are not usually seen, or the embarrassment about possible feelings they might trigger upon those who catch sight of them

- Those who make a point to day they place their undergarments "on top". Which makes me wonder - is there an underlying possibly to impress or entice. This is, after all, a medfet website, where some folks have chosen to comment on this topic.

So to summarize, some seem concerned with being neat. And the other concern is whether to proudly display the undergarments on top, or to do the opposite and hide them. And how many of you would actually prefer to be wearing the undergarments for the exam, until the point in time comes to examine the region they cover.....

Fold neatly on the chair unless I'm miserable.

Can't remember where the underwear goes. I suspect underneath something.

I fold my clothes neatly too, but it is done more as a distraction from what is about to happen when the doctor enters the room.

A good exam takes more than a few minutes to complete.

I pile my clothes on the chair in order of removal so my underclothes end up on top. My socks go on the floor under the chair.

Usually just put them on the chair I had been sitting on. My little 'routine' was always ( because it has been a few years now since I was asked to strip for an exam) take off shoes / take off socks - put socks inside shoes - push shoes under chair / take off sweater or pullover, fold - place on chair / take off shirt - drape over back of chair / take off trousers - fold, place on top of pullover / keep underpants on unless otherwise instructed. If asked to remove them - fold, place on top of trousers.

I think part of it is that the folded pile just looks nice, especially in an orderly area, which a medical office hopefully is.

I think it comes down to the fact that some people are just neater than others. Personally, I don't think I go to extremes to be that neat, but I'm not a complete slob either. For example, I also neatly fold my underwear and usually place it on top of my other clothes that are on the chair. But that's just because my underwear is the last thing taken off (a stack architecture, last-in-last-out). But I don't spend 10 minutes making sure that my underwear and other clothes are folded like they are in the clothing store. What's the alternative? Strip down and just throw my clothing on the floor? No thanks.

Refs: neatness etc. Most of my naked exams (& I had more than usual) were as a young boy. The first one, for example. As I was undressing ( already nervous enough ), my mother was encouraging me to 'hurry up'....so then I sort of just threw my clothes onto a chair ( tnis was actually in a waiting area - not the exam room even). She then told me off for being untidy!! I was only 7, so then I got flustered as I tried to tidy up my discarded clothing.

Later, in exams when my mother was not present, I was told off by a very forbidding school nurse, who opined that I had left my clothes in a mess and I was made to tidy them up (& I agree..,yes, it was silly, because I had just emerged from the exam area, naked and desperately wanted to get dressed ASAP). Whilst I was still nude, she insisted that I tidy up the pile of clothes before I put them on again!! I imagine thereafter, I just got used to folding my clothes neatly as I gradually stripped off.

Just minimally fold and put on chair, place underwear and socks under the pile...........

Pile them on the chair just my 2 cents

Same here, I mostly just pile them on the chair, usually haphazardly. Most exam rooms seem to have clothes hooks, but I don't use them..

I think there are two aspects here as I see it. As an adult here in the UK, I am rarely ever asked to fully undress for an examination nowadays. If I was asked to then it would not be a problem at all. I am always treated respectfully and doctors do consider the dignity of their patients. The last couple of times I did undress as an adult (a good few years ago now) I was allowed to go behind a screen and I had lots of time. I was still neat with piling my clothes, but that was just force of habit. Obviously, it would not have mattered if I had just dropped / thrown them down anywhere.

It was very different as a child, when I had lots of school medical / paediatric exams aged 7 - 17 during the years 1960 - 1970. Times were different. Junior school exams involved mass stripping in front of a strict teacher, but we were all boys together and so you got used to it. We then had to sit on PT benches in just our underpants or vest / underpants until it was our turn to see the doctor. We had to fold our clothes neatly. We were shouted at / reprimanded if this was not the case. After seeing the school nurse, boys certainly had to strip naked for the doctor. You were then always sent out (naked ) to put your underwear on back in the nurses area before returning to the school hall to sit on the bench again.

The Consultant Paediatrician had his own small consulting room. In a way it was worse. There were always a few children waiting in there with their parents ( well, usually their mothers ). When your name was called (slightly in advance) you had to strip down to vest / pants or just pants in that area. My mother would always be telling me to 'hurry up' and rebuke me if I did not fold my clothes neatly. Again, worse than school exams. Naked at the end of the consultation (& it was the same for all child patients) I had to take my underwear and get dressed in the outer area. I was very embarrassed by this at age 12 ( when my appts. ended)

Grammar School...individual exams. Still had to strip in front of the nurse ( never any screens) which was awful by age 17. Still sent naked to get dressed in the nurse's area at the end....emerging in the nude. Sometimes the nurses did tell me off for not folding my clothes neatly. Oh my....such days / times...

I don’t fold, I’m usually too nervous/excited to do that. I place them on the chair but with underwear hidden

So to summarize, some seem concerned with being neat. And the other concern is whether to proudly display the undergarments on top, or to do the opposite and hide them.

My wife and I aren't necessarily concerned about being "neat". It's just how we are, we never just haphazardly throw our clothes around when undressing, even at home. (Exception, when we are about to get busy!) We always fold our clothes when removing them, it's a habit. Both of us are neat freaks. Which makes for a happy home life, we don't have to nag each other to pick up after ourselves! And for my wife, she often wears clothes to her physical that she ironed, so the folding neatly is so they don't get wrinkled.

As for her bra and panties being on top, last items removed, first items put back on. She doesn't bother to hide them. The PA that examines us is a woman, so my wife isn't worried about her undergarments showing.

Those are mutually exclusive. Either you are neat freaks or you aren't.

Simply put, we don't CONSCIOUSLY think about being neat. We just DO IT without thinking about it.

I fold them neatly and put them on the chair - because I don't want the doctor to think I'm a slob.

Panties get folded and put under my clothes - as my mother taught me to do.

I leave my socks on.

Did you folks ever think maybe part of the reason you wait so long for that knock on the door is the doctor thinks s/he's being considerate in allowing you extra time to fold your clothes neatly?

I generally just sort of lay them on a chair, toss my underwear on top when the time comes.

I’m required to undress completely at both my gyno and at my regular checkup. Typically at both of them I’ll put my clothes on the chair folded. I’ll the put both my panties and bra underneath my outer clothes and I’ll put my shoes under the chair with my socks stuffed in my shoes

I make it a point when i remove shoes/sneakers and socks, to lay the socks across top of the shoes, not blocking the hole of the shoe. This allows proper ventilation of both the footwear and the socks.

Once i started having fungus problems with my feet, I modified the way i treat some things.

I usually just leave them in a pile off to the side of the room where they hopefully won't be in the way. But if I need to take off my underwear too, always a bit fun to leave those sitting right on top. 😉

I leave them in a pile on a chair in the room. When I'm feeling sexy or cute, I like to leave my underwear/bra on top. 😃
