What do you wear going to the doctor?

I saw my new GP for the first time this week. I made sure I was squeaky clean and wore clothes that were easily removed (jeans, a loose long sleeve shirt and my Nikes). As is happened all he asked me to do was unbutton my shirt to steth me and roll up a sleeve to do bp. Perhaps the follow-up will be more complete but I will probably dress similarly.

Living in Socal I wear pretty much the same clothes all year. The only thing I do when going to the doctor is make sure I've got on clean underwear and am wearing slip on shoes or flip flops to make getting undressed easy.

Depends on the season

I prefer to go in the summertime, only three articles of clothing and my flip-flops. Going to a new brand new female doc next week for my annual. Curious as to the "modus operandi" of the new doc for a physical. I'm sure there will be a cast of thousands when I have to remove my underwear--giant health organization doesn't want any weirdo stuff!

Just a t-shirt, shorts (jeans or slacks in winter) and shoes. Normal attire nuff said.

Nothing that much special, ordinary clothing, the kind I wear outside (for university, errands etc). That's usually jeans, T-shirt, a jacket over (depends on the season and how cold/warm it is) and of course a bra and normal panties. Many girls wear skirts for their gyno checkup, but I still prefer pants although it was awkward talking a walk from the undessing area to the gynaecological chair with nothing bellow my waist. And even more walking back because the doctor started explaining to me the outcome of the exam (that my young girlbits were healthy but to come back if I have any problems in the future) and I felt it was polite of me to stop and look her in the eye but at the same time all I wanted to do was get dressed as soon as possible. It was degrading enough, I didn't want to be on display more than I needed to be.

...although it was awkward talking a walk from the undessing area to the gynaecological chair with nothing bellow my waist.

You mean there are separate areas? You undress in one place and then have to go somewhere else for the actual exam?

No, it was in the same room, just behind a curtain which is a few steps away from the gyno chair. Believe me, it's a long walk when you are completely naked below the waist

I guess I usually just wear whatever I was going to wear that day. Rarely are doctors' appointment the only thing I have going on, so if I have work or class or something, I'll just dress for that.

Simple jeans and shirt but if more is to be done wears loose sweat pants or scrub pants so it is easy to comply

Shirt, shorts, underwear and flip-flops. I get rid of the flip-fops as soon as I'm in the room, so it's a quick process to get naked when it's time!

I don't have to get undressed for my urology exam, but I usually change from dress clothes that I wear to work to loose fitting shorts, a tee shirt and sandals or sneakers. I have to drop my shorts and underwear for the genital exam but I usually try to take one leg out when it's time for the prostate exam. Easier to bend over with feet apart that way.

Depends on the San Diego weather, the season and the reason for the visit. Could be shorts, tee shirt shoes and socks, (I'm not a flip flop person) or jeans, long sleeve shirt, etc. anything that can be easily removed and put back on. I'm about comfort and speed.

I know there is a thread for underwear specifically but I would like to resurrect this one and ask people to explain what they wear for physicals and why.

I was hoping to get a physical exam from a role play doc today. I put on a red t-shirt from h&m, gray gap shorts with a black gap belt, white gap briefs, bombas ankle socks and gray adidas ultraboost shoes.

There isn't much out of the ordinary in this outfit for me other than the underwear; I usually wear boxer-briefs, but I was hoping to feel more exposed and vulnerable at the exam and perhaps please the doctor with my appearance in the even that he asked me to undress to my underwear.

Alas my appointment has been cancelled for today, but since I'm dressed for a regular summer day, there is no need to change.

Smelly socks and soiled panties

A very " good " comment !!! - still smiling !!!

Depends on the doctor. PCP; regular street clothes because all she does is listen through my clothes. Foot Dr.; no socks because it's easier not having to put them back on. Dermatologist; tee shirt, briefs, shorts, again no socks.

Growing up you had to wear "fresh" underwear aka tiddy whitties...After high school I would normally make Dr. appointments on a day off so depended on the time of year. In Chicago, we only wore shorts June to Aug since temps dropped badly during the school year. Moving to Dallas, I wear shorts almost 10 months out of the year. Normally, I am commando since I really dont like wearing underwear and in most cases the Doctor never has me undress completely anyway. Got fooled the last exam....

Depends on season. Summer, shorts, commando

Winter, jeans, underwear

I'll wear a t-shirt (or sometimes a sleeveless top) and shorts, white sports socks, white trainers (sneakers), and short boxer briefs. For underwear it's usually black or white designer ones, usually Calvins, but I did mix it up a couple of years ago and wore a pair of Marvel Incredible Hulk ones that I had on display for the whole exam until they came off. For next time, I'm planning on wearing a bright red pair of Levis boxer briefs.

Depends on the season but outer garments that are easy to remove and always clean underwear

Since my appointments are usually in the spring/summer, shorts with belt and t-shirt at my regular doctor and usually Adidas shorts and a shirt at my urologist since I do have to drop my pants

T shirt and shorts

I always view going for my annual physical as kind of a special event so I like to dress up nice. Often dress shirt and khakis and a nice pair of boxers of course. This year I decided to switch things up a bit and went with jeans and a grey work shirt and a pair of grey Jockey briefs underneath.

I usually have my annual physical during the summer months but COVID-19 has impacted that particular time over the past few years. I take the day off from work and it is going to be a "me" day, in a sense I don't have an agenda (other than my physical). I may run a few errands but typically the day will consist of hanging out with my dog and going wherever the day takes me. No hassles, schedules or deadlines to meet. I hit the pause button for the day.

Since it is summer my attire is quite casual consisting of a t shirt, cargo shorts, belt, cross trainers and ankle socks. Underneath I am sporting New Balance athletic boxer briefs. Other times I am seen in my typical work attire for a doctor's visit. Dark blue Dockers, button down oxford shirt with a matching tie. I find wing tip shoes to be uncomfortable so I prefer casual business shoes.

My annual physical comes in January too. I always hope it will be really cold so I can wear long underwear and have an excuse not to wear underwear under my gown.

For the most part, I just wear normal everyday clothes, nothing special. However, there are certain things that I am mindful of, and here's why...

I usually wear a short sleeved shirt and not a sweatshirt or sweater. It's easier for taking my BP and if I need to give a blood sample.

Typically, I am not asked to undress and am examined in my clothes. I just lift my shirt and lower my pants to mid thigh if needed. I do not wear shorts to exams, always jeans. If I were to lower my shorts, they would fall instantly to the floor and I would feel even more ridiculous standing in front of the doctor like that. Shorts around my ankles would also make it much more difficult and awkward after the genital exam to waddle over and lean on the table for my prostate exam.

I also do not wear a belt. When unfastened and my jeans are lowered, the flap and buckle stick straight out and look silly as well as get in the way. Plus, when I do a mad scramble to pull my pants up after the exam, it's one less thing to fuss with. I always feel really awkward and embarrassed while the doctor is looking at me while I'm trying to get dressed afterwards. Although, it's quite possible I am feeling awkward and embarrassed because the doctor is also removing a slimy glove from his finger he just had up my butt.

My last quirk is I usually wear boxer briefs day to day. However, for exams I wear loose fitting boxers. Boxer briefs are much more form fitting and hug my body. When I lower my jeans, I also lower my underwear at the same time. Boxer briefs get stuck on my thigh muscles when I lower them, so they stick up out of my jeans and get in the way as well as look weird. Because of this, I either have to lower my pants much farther down to expose my genitals, or I have to push down my underwear legs with my hand. Boxers just lower naturally with my jeans and always stay out of the way. They are much easier when I redress after the exam too. Boxers pull up easily and I don't have to rearrange my package afterwards. Boxer briefs tend to get bunched up during the lowering and raising of them. I hate getting my panties in a twist 😉

If I'm going to a doctor that has me undress and put on a gown, like my dermatologist, I don't follow any of these. I just wear whatever I grabbed in the closet that morning.

Jeans, a front fasten bra, my diaper and a tshirt.

I take off everything besides my diaper because if I take it off, I will get everything wet. When it comes time for the pap test and pelvic/genital/ rectal exam, the doctor just unfastened my diaper. Since they usually want a urine sample and it's hard to get with me being incontinent, she will usually catheterize me. They look at every part of me because of my family history of clitoral cancer and labial cancer.

My last one (first in a long time) I went there from work. So I had my cargo pants where each pocket was loaded with tools as well as my steel toes. I had that a t shirt, and a button up shirt (unbuttoned). I ended up not taking any of it off 😢

Scrubs. It seems part of the uniform.
