How do you disrobe?

I've never had to completely undressing for a physical exam. Usually, I undress to my underwear a few times "strip as you go."

My routine: I always take my shoes and socks off first then put them under the chair. Next, my shirt and undershirt off folded & placed on the seat of the chair. Lastly, I take off my pants off and lay them on top of my shirts on the chairs. After I'm undressed, just wait for the doctor on the exam table. I get dressed in the reverse order that I got undressed.

Shoes and socks, shirt then trousers, just leaving underpants on.

Being naked from the waist down doesn't really bother me so I always take the lower half off first. Underwear included. When I'm doing the top half I'll always get my bra / binder off as quickly as possible once my shirt is off as I hate being seen in it.

I start with shoes and socks which I can do before the nurse has left. Socks rolled into shoes. Then t-shirt, folded, jeans, folded, t-shirt placed over jeans on a chair. I ignore a gown, returning it to the drawer, and sit in my briefs.

Shoes, socks, pants, shirt and underwear.

My doctor asks me to "undress completely" at annual physicals. I remove my shoes and socks first, I then take off my shirt and undershirt. I'll then take my pants off, and then remove my briefs.

Do you get a gown to put on or just have the exam naked?

I'm naked for the exam.

Depends on if nurse/aide/doctor is watching. If I'm alone it's top to bottom. If someones's watching, and a gown is going to be used, it's shoes and socks, then pants and underwear at once. When I take the shirt off I'm naked, if only for a few seconds. Once a took off shirt first and nurse put the gown on me for modesty the rest of disrobing.

I usually remove shirt, then pants, then socks, (if any,) and then underwear, (also, if any.) If I'm not sure how undressed they will want me, or it's a place I've not been before, I will wear underwear, in case there's no gown and being naked the full time isn't really necessary.

When I get dressed again, it's underwear, then pants, then socks, then shirt. Not sure why.

Yes, in warmer weather it may just be a shirt and shorts. Once, the assistant asked me to undress, everything off, and she would go get the doctor. I had it all off and was standing there naked before she turned around to leave. She look a bit bewildered, then just said, "OK, I guess you're ready, then!"

I go top layers down...only seems natural. Sweater off first, skirt, pantyhose or tights, bra, and lastly the panties if I am wearing any that day.

Shoes, socks, shirt, jeans, and finally briefs.

I begin with my shoes and then unbutton and remove my blouse before undoing my pants and lowering them to the floor and slowly stepping out of each pant leg. At this point, it's time to remove my bra and place it with my clothing but tucked underneath the other garments. Next, I tend to sigh some as if to give encouragement because my panties are about to slide down and I will be naked and reaching for the gown. Once I have the gown on, I reach for my panties and place them with the other things as the gown has my bottom exposed!

I'll usually take off my shoes, socks, pants, shirt and then underwear before putting on the gown.

I remember being with my wife for a prenatal visit. She took off shoes, socks, shirt and bra before putting on the gown. She then took off pants and panties from beneath the gown.

It's usually shoes, then pants, and shirt. Everything is folded and placed on the chair. The socks are next, as my feet get cold in those chilly exam rooms. Finally the briefs come down, and they go on top of the pile, so if someone looks at my clothes, there is no doubt that I'm naked under that gown.....

Shoes, socks, shirt and bra, pants and panties, then into the gown.

I have been to my gynecologist just twice for a check up and I have worn the same things both times but I am sure everything would come off in the same order if I had different things on. I took off my leather jacket first then my boots. Then I took off my t shirt then my socks and my jeans. I was just in my bra and thong then so next I take off my bra and then the last thing that comes off is my thong. I think the gown is a bit of a fiddly nuisance really and I think it would just be a lot easier if I got examined nude but I put it on and I wait then for him to come in and give me my exam.

Shoes and socks first. Then shirt. The belt undone and trousers off. Left standing in my briefs that only take off with a further request.

I generally wear the same type of clothes when I go to my dermatologist because it is usually a little cool when I go both times of the year. I start with my shoes. Then my socks. Then I either take off a sweat shirt or t-shirt , which ever I am wearing that day. Next I take off my sweat pants or what ever type I'm wearing just as long as they are easy to pull on and off, as I am partially handicap and for some reason do not like people having to help me dress. Lastly I take off my boxer briefs. Then I put the gown on.

I'm more likely to take everything off then put on the gown. The women I've know have kept their pants and/or panties on and taken them off after they tie the gown on. With the gown opening in the front I don't really understand trying to preserve modesty.

The nurse always requests me to undress down to my underwear. After she leaves, I take off everything except for my boxers.

The few times that I have been given a gown and told to undress completely, it never occurred to me to do anything but strip down completely and then put on the gown. Do some people put the gown on over their underwear or jeans and underwear and then try to undress from there? I guess if they were worried that the doctor or nurse would come back in right away but I've never had the worry that I wouldn't have enough time to get undressed and in a gown before the doc came in for the exam.

When asked to undress and put on exam shorts, I started with shoes and socks and then took off my pants and underwear and then put on the shorts. My shirt came off next.

There's always a small concern that someone could walk in at anytime accidentally or intentionally, so I purposely undressed in a way so that I'd always have something on as a "cover".

Sometimes i might go shirt, shoes, pants. Other times i might go shoes, pants, shirt. If i were to remove socks, they'd probably be right before undies which would be last. On occasion, i might go shirt, shoes, socks, pants.

For massages, its shoes, pants, socks, shirt, jockstrap. I want to be exposed in my jock as long as possible, ready to be seen in it whenever the masseuse returns.....

I'd say that my biggest concern continues to be the exam room door, which way it opens, whether it opens onto a busy hallway with patients and staff passing by regularly, because I always strip down to underwear. I can usually detect the doctor knocking on doors to examine patients ahead of me, sometimes as obvious as knocks getting closer. But as for time allotted, I could have sewn an outfit at a pre-employment physical, the staff determined to get patients into exam rooms, out of the waiting room, long before there's any chance of being examined. I've posted the order of undressing already.

@Janet28 very pretty picture

The clinic my hubby and I go to has a very 'patient friendly' examination area. Four exam rooms are located on a moderately busy hallway ... the door swings inward ... and between the door and the examination room table and other medical equipment is a curtain that can be drawn so even if the door is open, no one can see the patient. I would think every modern medical facility which requires patients to disrobe for certain exams would have facilities like this .... this is the 21st century.

What's the difference what comes off first or last. If you need to be naked so be it. When I have patients to see they have a gown on and I do not care how they undress.

People let's find something more interesting to talk about.

It's a valid question, and some members apparently wish to discuss it. The thread remains open to further posts from those who are interested.
