Gyno Girl

Underrated thing. When you're sitting on the exam table and it reclines slowl. You lose sight of what's going on and have to stare at the ceiling. Bonus points for a drape to block your view or a restraint of some sort to keep the head from moving too much

I just think that someone locking your legs in stirrups is wildly hot and also equally embarrassing <3

the thing is if you’re shy it’s much easier to be embarrassed, especially if you know the doctor’s being very patient with you while you make it hard for them to do their job. changing into the hospital gown, tying it in the front, but keeping on your underwear. hoping maybe this time will be different. laying down on the table and shaking with nerves. doctor squeezing your hand as they pull open the gown, pressing down on your stomach gently. touching up near your chest, and then slowly moving down towards your belly button, until they have to slide two fingers under the band of your underwear. they tell you they’re very sorry, and it’ll just take a second, but your stomach is doing flips as they feel over your bladder, folding the cloth down to assess the skin there. “relax, it’s not going to hurt”, but your stomach’s just so tense they tell you they’re a little worried about your pelvic floor, so they’re just going to feel a little lower. their hands are gentle, almost cautious, as they slide under the fabric of your underwear. they softly press at your skin, feeling out the shape of your inner labia. just checking for tension. finally they touch you where you’ve gotten so wet from the embarrassment. they ask you if this discharge is normal for you, and blushing, you shake your head no. their hands come out & they slowly pull your underwear the rest of the way down. it looks like you’ll need an internal exam.

being told to remove everything from the waist down, but the office forgot to set out a paper privacy sheet for me. anxiously pulling at the hem of my shirt. sitting on the exam bed with my knees so close together, but there’s still a triangle of hair visible there. folding my hands in my lap. doing whatever i can to cover my vulva. i know it’s a losing battle, that the doctor will be touching there in a moment anyway, but i’m still anxiously watching the door, my heart beating out of my chest, feeling so exposed.

I wonder if they need volunteers for the study 😂

the fact that it’s 2023 and we still have metal speculums is a war crime and should be treated as such

if stirrups weren’t enough for you 🫣

omg this means they’re looking at me to decide what size I need

one of the things they’ll need to do is assess which areas feel pain, and which, if any, give you pleasure. they’ll start by visually inspecting your vulva. looking for any redness, bruising, anything out of the ordinary. it may feel embarrassing having somebody look at you that way, but it’s necessary to help you get better. next they’ll start gently palpating your skin, moving from the mons pubis down towards your outer labia, and then inward. they ask you to describe each sensation— is it tender? sore? ticklish? does it sting, or feel like a bruise? how does lighter touch compare to one with more pressure? if they notice signs of arousal— skin darkening, wetness pooling— they might ask about that too. they’ll pull back your clitoral hood and assess the shape of it. check the width, how it responds to stimulation. note the size down in your chart. they might massage your vulva, paying special attention to your bartholin glands. seeing if they can induce self lubrication. take swabs for the lab. they’ll take photographs of your inner & outer labia. and then they’ll ask you to masturbate as you normally would, while they watch. it’s so they can better understand how to help you, so don’t be shy.
