Did anyone get a gown at the pediatrician?

I didn't get a gown until I was in my 20s. It was always undress to your underpants.

I never received a gown. I always undressed to my underwear and then when it was time for the genital exam, the doctor would just lift up the top of my underwear.

No, i never did get one.

Never got a gown. I always took off all of my clothes except underwear. When I got to my teens I just took off my shirt.

There were always boys in the waiting room when I had appointments, never any girls. The boys always had to get to undershorts, no gowns. He was a Pediatrician in his 50s at the time with a sub practice in Pediatric Allergy.

I never got one at any age, if i had to undress i was always in my underwear.

Never got a gown for my childhood physicals. I think gowns only became popular after about 1990 or so.

Nope, never got one, I was in my undies or totally naked when I had my check ups at the pediatrician.

I never got a gown at my pediatrician's office. I was always undressed down to my underwear.

Never had a gown, was always asked to strip down to underwear and sit on the table

I never had a gown as a kid. I was always wearing underpants during the exam, with the undies pulled down for genital check.

Never had a pediatrician always a G.P. never had a gown till the first time in the stirrups.

Generally, underwear was

Strip to white briefs, both my brother and myself.

I never got a gown for any exam by my peditrician. I just had to undress down to my underpants. They were pulled down when the doctor needed to exam the areas hidden by them.

I don't recall geting a gown at any doctor's until I had my first complete physical in my early twenties.

I never had a gown at the pediatrician. It was always with no clothes on.

I never had a gown to put on. I always had to be naked through out the exam. When I got into the exam room everything off, socks and underpants also.

I never did. But I'm sure a lot of people did. Modesty seems to be important now than it was in the past.

Like others my age or older , I never got a gown . Modesty for kids at the drs was not of concern . I had to undress down to my panties and t'shirt . At the time little girls wore sleeveless ( spaghetti strap) white t'shirts with their panties under their clothes . Was never given anything to cover up with either . Thats the way it was .

Though I am slightly younger than you Bridgette, I too recall the the girls wearing sleeveless white shirts as they were escorted to the scale to be weighed and measured.

Viewing older images on the web traditionally girls under the age of ten or twelve were generally down to panties.

Every exam I can recall my under shirt was off. Was not till my teen years that a gown was given at the doctors office.

At school we continued to be checked topless right up to twelfth grade.

I did not. Just took off clothes for parts of exam.

No gown. Just in my panties. Until my first gyno exam, I never saw what the "paper dress" looked like.

I never got a gown at the pediatrician. When I was a young boy, up until about 14 or 15, my mother would take me every August to the pediatrician for a physical. The drill was allways the same. I would be told to take everything off except my underwear, tighty whities. Then I would sit on the exam table while the doctor examined me and sometime I would lay on the table while he examines my penis and other time I would have to stand. His nurse was always present in the room but I don't remember what she did. If I was sick and got a shot, it was always the doctor who gave me the shot.

Never when I was a kid. Stripped to underpants only. The first time I was given a gown and told to strip completely was in my 20s and I had no idea what an exam gown was or how to wear it. To me, it was very revealing compared to wearing briefs for an exam. I'm sure that I looked shocked when told to take everything off and put on the gown. At least I was told to put it on so that it was open in the back. I wouldn't have had any idea how it worked if that instruction wasn't given. Got the top string tied but not the middle string.

As I am not a young man since already a lot of years, I was never given a gown at a pediatrician office.

And in fact no more when I became an adult.

It was not casual in France except in hospitals or clinics.

I must add that I have never gone to see a pediatrician doctor when young, my mother came with me to the doctor family who was not very strict about undressing.

I was nevertheless sometimes told to undress in my underwear which was always at that time a white tighty whitie but never to strip completely

if he needed it, he pulled down my underwear just enough to see my genitals or palpate my balls

it was not really embarrassing

there was never a nurse in his office

It was different at the mandatory school examination as I have already related it

We got a paper vest when I was 11 and later. Nothing before that, we just had to take off our shirts.

When I was younger I was asked to take everything off but my underwear with no gown at the pediatrician. Now it's everything off including my underwear with a gown open to the back.

No, in Germany it is not usual to get a gown. Neither at the pediatrician nor at the GP or gyn.

Never. At the pediatrician I was usually told to take off my shirt by the nurse and wait for the doctor on the table. She would eventually tell me to lay down and then she would undo my pants to feel my lower stomach area and just below the waistband of my tight whiteys. For sports physicals I was told to take off everything but my underwear and she would lower them herself when the time came while I was lying on the table. Another doctor had me strip to my underwear for the sports physical and stand up and drop them myself for the hernia exam.
