Bra and panties only no gown?

My girlfriend recently went in for her annual pelvic. When she returned from the experience she said that this time was different in that the nurse instructed her to undress, put on the exam gown, but leave her panties on. This was a first. In the past, she was instructed to remove everything.

When she asked about the change, her doc told her that several patients had begun requesting to keep their panties on as long as possible (modesty, embarassment, etc.).

With this change in procedure, she is now more self-conscious as she now has to decide which panties (style, color, etc.) she should wear.

Any suggestions?

Thats weird. If proper patiend modesty is observed, with proper drapping etc. Having the underpants on longer is just going to carry out the exam even longer.

Wear the sexy ones..maybe the docotr will spend more time examining

This is the ultimate! Wanting to keep their panties on only emphasizes the significance of someone seeing the vulva. I love the idea that a patient on an examining table knows the panties are coming off and the vagina is going to be seen, but is embarrassed enough to want to keep it covered as long as possible!

My first few exams were like that. I could leave my panties on until it was time for the pap smear. I loved it like this just because the dr would pull them down and off of me instead of asking me to do it. Having him remove my underwear was such a thrill for me.

Many of the posts I'm reading here have done a better-than-fair job of documenting the appalling arrogance of today's medical establishment, something that's been evident to me for decades.

My wife and I recently left a doctor we'd been seeing faithfully for years because he brought some wet-behind-the-ears med student into the exam room without first asking her (my wife was the patient on that particular visit).

Now I'm reading that some doctors are allowing drug company salespeople to enter exam rooms and watch even the most intimate of examinations, a scenario that clearly serves only the drug rep, who enjoys additional "face time" with doctors to whom their trying to peddle there goods. If that were ever done to me, I would make that day the very worst of the doctor's medical career; I might even challenge his license.

My doctor never asked what I want they just tell me nude with the gown

Its much erotic to stay the panties on.

I agree that its more erotic to leave the panties on. Its not only a supprise to the doctor it can also be more erotic for the patient as well. Like when the doctor slowly palpates lower and lower perhaps under the top of the panties during the abdominal exam.

I agree its more erotic to leave my panties on. During a real exam im always told to undress comepletely and put the gown on. but for some reason when i go i always make sure im wearing sexy panties maybe black lace or something. but different story i leave my panties on even if he tells to undress comepletly. I like when he has to pull them down.

My first and only 3 full physicals I was told to keep my panties on.

When I get to the room I'm given a gown and told specifically to take everything off except for my panties and socks. My panties always come off when the time comes.

My panties always come off right away. I do wait till I'm in the exam gown before I slip them off however. I always wear pretty, kind of sexy panties as they are on top of the close I've placed on the chair when I strip.

Never heard of being able to leave them on, mine always come right off.

But I would think a nice pair of black ones would be nice.

I like to have my patients undress as the exam progresses if they want to

I would prefer to leave my panties on, although the truth was pointed out by a few members that this only calls more attention to the pelvic region, I think that I would feel more comfortable..

As well, I think black panties would be a safe bet. Simple black panties or a thong could be seen as sexy or plain, depending!

They always ask me to take my boxers off. I've never kept them on under the gown. That would be so much more erotic.

I once had a girlfriend who had physicals in just bra and underwear....no gown.

My Doctor prefers to have me leave my panties on until its time for her to do the pelvic exam and then I slip them off while I'm lying flat on the exam table.

This leads me to wonder--what would happen if someone had NO issues with being examined in the nude? Would doctors go along with it or try to make them put on a gown?

I've tested this. Twice my male doctors, as opposed to nurses, took me into the exam room and asked me to take off everything except my underwear. Twice when they knocked on the exam room door, I was standing, naked, on the scale. Neither one said a thing. Each came over to the scale to get my weight. I did have my briefs on the exam tables and I did slip them back on after the weight was done. Another doctor had me place the gown with the opening in the front, not the back. In the course of the exam, the gown came off and stayed off from that point on. There was also a doctor in Manhattan who had his patients get completely naked for their physicals. If/when they were new and/or chose to keep underwear on, after the height/weight, he instructed that they take underwear off. My point is that as long as a doctor doesn't sense something going on- and freeballing men would be a case in point since they don't wear underwear- a patient can control aspects of a physical exam such as the degree or undress.

I always take my panties off, as they will probably have to come off at some time anyway.

The one time I was able to be on the examination room with my wife during her pelvic exam, she was instructed to remove everything, including bra and panties, and put on a gown (it was actually more of a two-sided cape than a traditional exam gown). I love the fact that she stripped completely naked in front of me, including panties, before putting the gown on. That was so hot. Needless to say, I had a throbbing erection during the entire exam.

Years earlier while we were still dating, she told me that another gynecologist had her remove all clothing, including bra and panties, and just wear a paper vest to cover her breasts. She had nothing covering her pubic area; not even a sheet to cover below the waist.

I don't use gowns, so I let the patient choose if removing panties from the beginning (usually patients already visited before) or before abdominal and rectovaginal evaluation (in particular new patients)

"With this change in procedure, she is now more self-conscious as she now has to decide which panties (style, color, etc.) she should wear. Any suggestions?"

Yeah, go with blue.

Ok, so here comes my advice to someone who had this issue over 7 years ago and hasn't been on zity in 6 years, but since someone resurrected this post 30 minutes ago:

When the movement for overall patient modesty began in the 90's & suddenly they would have paper gowns for my annual physical, i waived wearing them. I was used to seeing the same male doctor every year, & i thought having a gown on was more obstructive, obtrusive. I had been used to being just in my briefs, what was i gonna start wearing a gown for? i can't be out mowing my lawn in nothing but shorts all the time or at public pools in nothing but swimming trunks and then be self conscious for a doctor visit where i know the doctor from previous visits.

So my advice in this situation would be, since she's wearing a gown anyway, is to maintain her traditional level of undress. Sounds like choosing panties is an issue, & she's used to commando under the gown, stay commando. Consider the procedure "panties optional" for the other patients who feel they need them for modesty.

I thought anyone in a similar boat might be able to use this advice as well.

My wife's gyn has her remove everything for the exam. Her family dr has her revoke everything but panties. He has her slide them down a little but not remove them.

A 27 year old girl in Minnesota I just had phone sex with started out by saying she's never had thorough exams. But she did say that she's never had a gown and has always been asked by nurses to undress to bra and panties before dr comes in, even now. Says drs have never taken her bra or panties down or off. That's the way it was at my pediatricians but I thought in USA all adult women get gowns. At first I suspected she was lying to turn me on and keep me on the phone longer. But in hindsight I think that if she wanted to lie about not having a gown to turn me on she would also claim getting totally naked at some point and a pelvic and rectal exam. The fact that she said that has never happened makes me more likely to believe she's being truthful about no gown. What do others think? Can other women on here comment about such experiences? Does this ever happen at the doctor?
