“Do you see what I see?....”
MySisterCallsMeChocolateCake
I like that they represented the the different size speculum.
PreciousPotato
Oh god, I hate those things. Especially the metal ones.
ummDoYouNot
Thanks, I hate it

@bowmore this picture hurts
rbg13333
I’m not a woman but as a guy, if that has to go down/back there, the googly eyes make it better. Don’t ask me why, they just do.
YouTestedMyReflexesAndItTurnedOutFINE
Nooooo!

**shudder**
groovydawgs
Ha!!
AleriaVoguel
Uhg fuck these things... My lady parts are cringing in pain just looking at them
Issima1984
I literally shivered. I hate those things
MONTEZuma000
as a rn I appreciate that the different sizes are included.
kitterkat
Those things fucking hurt man
iseelittlepeople
@Taaltrek letting me down not posting this kinda content!
Taaltrek
I’ll see what I can do :)
Rosebride13
I can feel this picture..and It doesn't feel good
Furl
"Won't you guide my spec' tonight?"; "Sure!"
mrsdowneyjr
I seem to be the only woman who doesn't hate these
kanihaznaiph
Yeah, while they're not exactly pleasant...I don't get the whole "I shivered at these, I hate these"
mrsdowneyjr
The gentle hand to the knee and "relax your knees" is the part I hate
ThisOldCPU
For those too young to remember, these used to be made of metal. And always lower than room temperature, even fresh out of the autoclave
Hirhoward
Kept on dry ice, if I remember.
princessvaliant
Used to be? Every gyno I’ve had uses metal.
kermie92
...metal ones are still in use
Reinette
Yep, my doc still uses metal.
kanihaznaiph
If you're ever worried about these (first time or not sexually active) they make small ones...unfortunately they're called "pediatric size"
phonedog365
As if there's no medical reason to use them on children? Also, most pediatricians see patients up to 18yo.
kanihaznaiph
It's the fact that there's very much medical reasons to have to use them that can take the mind to sad places
kanihaznaiph
Was originally going to try to make a "fun fact" joke but I didn't want it to get too dark...
TheBlueMuppet
HA, i used to make these exact ones for Welsh Allyn. I still have a bunch somewhere. We made them into ducks with eye stickers.
jroneida
This pleases me greatly.
TheBlueMuppet
We also took a bunch of imperfect ones home for my friend's Halloween costume once. He was Dr. Seymore Bush, Gynacologist.
corkyburceck
You're using it wrong.
jroneida
Ducks with what I hope are googly eye stickers is my preferred use, more pleasing than standard use.
snoffler
As a woman, I hate this every time I see it. +1

Yes! I clenched in fear

Me too.. Just saw some of these up for purchase on a sex toy website. I was not aware it could also be a fetish.

SleepyKitten
You can already hear the clicking
snoffler
You know what, I was ok until I read this. Why do you hate me so much
SleepyKitten
We have a common enemy
SwissMissMaybe
I know. At least they’re not cold metal?
Assetspelledbackwards
I was just thinking the same exact thing!!! Those metal ones are awful!
MoneyGlazedClam
My wife says "these are infinitely better than the metal version!"
celestedrake
As a woman...what are those?
MabelandDipperPines
Speculums are used in pap smears and other cervical exams...they go up the vagina and kind of spreada it so the dr can access the cervix
VikingsAreNinjaPirates
As a man, I believe these are speculums, used to hold open the vagina during pelvic exams. These ones are reindeer flavored, it seems.
TheMouseOfMadness
I don't ever want to consider the flavor of a speculum ever again
ElDrmm
But now you have and there's no going back. What has been imagined cannot be unimagined.
TheBestRussian
If you’re an adult female of or older than 21yo, you should go to your doctor and arrange a visit involving one of those for a Pap smear.
IhaveAdogAndAnxiety
Yes
rosshell2718
I can’t begin to speculate what these are....
EmergencyChocolate
Lovely pun!
KitchenClean
Speculums. Used by ob/gyn to keep the vagina open enough so they can do a pap smear.
PinPointSnarkuracy
...that's the joke.
paradidnt
The plural is achtually Speculeese
OKiluvUBuhBai
Speculots?

Serenity383
Ever had a speculum shoved up your hoo-ha? NOT a merry Christmas. Not at all.
VagisilToothpaste
I have. I like it. But I'm into that kinda shit...?
Tulcien
saw someone developing a more comfortable version of this. Course it won’t get funded cause docs don’t give a shit about women’s comfort.
urustai
I've never had it be uncomfortable, but they're always cold. Sometimes I swear they've shoved ice into my lady cave.
leaderofthedamned
It's always cold, my insides do not enjoy cold metal inside me.
mrsdowneyjr
I don't get the hate.
kanihaznaiph
If you're experiencing shoving...maybe find a different gyno...
Devolv3
No, but I've done the shoving. And Im not even a gynecologist. She didn't complain. Might have been the ball gag though....
princessvaliant
My gynecologist always says “this will be uncomfortable” about the speculum and Pap smear. It is not just uncomfortable.
HighSorcerer
They're not wrong though.
Wemly
That's just speculation.
jayskyall
They are so long
Fit2DERP
Up on the rooftop click click CLICK
fishwrecker
Oh fuck off with thaaaaaaaat.
ElevenAndCounting
This made me clinch. Ugh
thesauceisboss
Down through the baby hole with old st. Mean cold duck lips.
youreablurb
Ugh, I heard those clicks in my head and it made me do an involuntary kegel.
nattyicenatbat
I shuddered
kirstyjunior
This made me cackle like a witch.

CaptSparkleFingers
Is it uncomfortable because it's rigid?
mrsdowneyjr
I don't find it uncomfortable.
Puvaradivi
Also because its spreading you open with its rigidness. Imagine a small hard turd going up your bum and expanding to 3x its orig size.
OhBoyKittens
Yessssssss oh wait...
bsmithwins
There were torture instruments based on the same principal.
RomanSnow
Dont they warm it up for you at least
Serenity383
Not always. Metal ones are the worst
Popeyeschickenandgin
Nope. And the ones you see here are actually WAY too big for me even though they're the standard size. Causes RIPPING cramps when my Gyno 1
Popeyeschickenandgin
inserts it and so she always has to go a size down. Also, she uses good old fashioned metal instead of plastic.
princessvaliant
Mine doesn’t bother going a size down so it fucking hurts. And then is all “this shouldn’t hurt.”
Popeyeschickenandgin
YIKES. I don't care for that AT ALL. There are smaller speculums since, for various reasons, (some benign, some horrifying) even small girls
RomanSnow
I'm kinda surprised. My ex had a gynecologist, and she used to warm it up under warm water for her.
Popeyeschickenandgin
I have to admit, I go to a gyno who cares for the lower income bracket and women who pay in cash if they don't have insurance. I'm thinking
YouDontKnowMeIDontKnowMe
I get to have a colposcopy (where they take a good look at your cervix due to sus lookin spots on it) on the 23rd. Merry xmas to me. ?
PenDec91
I had this done in November, it's basically a pap...luckily didn't have to have a biopsy though, that's a different level of pain I've heard
YouDontKnowMeIDontKnowMe
Ive had one before, a few years ago, along with a biopsy. Biopsy was comparable to having an IUD placed. Kind of a sharp discomfort.
Itsnotmeitsyew
I asked if I could look at the monitor! Who knew a cervix is a cute pink donut ? she said look away for the biopsy, super magnified snip heh
YouDontKnowMeIDontKnowMe
Ooooo Sweet! Ive had one, and a biopsy before, but there was no monitor that time! Maybe this time! Im into that kinda stuff lol
Itsnotmeitsyew
I know right, super interesting! I'm not gonna turn down the chance to see my insides heh
RogueMachinae
Oh no fun! I had one about 5 years ago. Put some sort of vinegar burning crap on my cervix then took some tissue. Then some black crap 1/
RogueMachinae
Came out later which really was a big blood clot from spotting. Not pleasant. 2/2
YouDontKnowMeIDontKnowMe
Ah so you had a biopsy too. Bleh. Ive gone through both. The black clot can be disturbing for sure if no one tells you to expect it!
RogueMachinae
Nope they did most definitely NOT tell me it would happen. It was slightly horrifying.
princessvaliant
Just had one, they also did a biopsy. Colposcopy was uncomfortable, long freaking speculum. Biopsy hurt but bearable.
HighSorcerer
Had an ex who needed one of those. I do not envy the experience.
YouDontKnowMeIDontKnowMe
Yeah Ive had both before. Not terrible, not great. Meh.
princessvaliant
I wouldn’t say meh. I found it painful, was a bit shaky after and felt cringy.
YouDontKnowMeIDontKnowMe
Oof. Im sorry. ?
PercussiveEngineering
I've had this done before. Not gonna lie, it's not pleasant, but it hurt less than I thought it would if it's any consolation.
YouDontKnowMeIDontKnowMe
Unfortunately I’ve had one before, and a biopsy. Sorry you’ve had to go through it!
PercussiveEngineering
Sorry you're having to go through it again!
YouDontKnowMeIDontKnowMe
Me too. Such is life I guess!
Smittyspitoon
I don't have a hoo-ha, but I heard it's pretty unpleasant. The thing being shoved up there, not just having a hoo-ha. Oh now I've done it.
Mithi
Can be used int he other hole also. If you are into this kind of thing. (¬‿¬)
Mxlespxles
I hear there's plenty of things that make simply having one pretty unpleasant
Reinette
It can pinch. I don't think I need to say any more.
mrsdowneyjr
Never felt bad for me
Thegreenestthumb9
Doesn't always have to hurt. Maybe it's a Canadian thing, doctors here are gentler I guess, I've never even felt uncomfortable from one.
tegfdd77
Kehy
Didn't hurt, or even uncomfortable. Just strange thing there
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Canadian, same. It's not an enjoyable event, but it's fine. Doesn't hurt.
da1227
American living in Canada. Beg to differ
Mxlespxles
Did we just discover something about Canadian women?
WhatYearIsThis
It’s not pain per se, it’s like a pressure, a very uncomfortable pressure
Thegreenestthumb9
I don't even feel that. I mean I can feel its presence, but it's no different to me than a tampon or menstrual cup. Maybe I'm just weird.
WhatYearIsThis
Maybe you just have more “space”? I don’t know, I hate it.
