1. Smooth edges 2. Smooth opening 3. Smaller dimension 4. Use a camera instead

Why not use an endoscope camera setup?

The edges feel like a knife. Curve the edges in so we can’t feel them.

I'm a guy, so I don't know a thing about the tool or how to make it better, but from my experiences of going to the OGBYN with a few different GFs, the one thing I would change is the person using the tool. It seems that male doctors are rough, don't care about her discomfort or issues and seem indifferent to any questions.

WHY DONT THEY JUST SOAK IT IN WARM WATER FIRST OR JUST MAKE IT OUT OF SILICONE?!

Warm the damn thing up first. Put some cush silicone lining on it. No lore torquing, smoother crank function. Way way smaller.

Just because we women are expected to suffer either from our periods or childbirth, doesn't mean we don't deserve comfort and less pain on annually exams!

They can manage to clean out an ear canal with very little discomfort, so I don't know why we're still using such tools for such a sensitive area. Small camera probe with appendages to administer numbing and remove a sliver of cervix (which makes me shudder in fear 😅).

I feel like there's particularly a lot of work to be done for us V keepers with tilted internals. When I went for my pap, it was 20+ minutes of 2 diff midwives cranking the speculum every which way like it was it was an Atari joystick 😭 I had to sit in my car and cry after bc it hurt so much. My normally high pain tolerance was NOTHING against the ole duckbill of torture

Fiber optic camera, small, they have a light, they have the ability to be fixed to collection tooling that is also small. The image can be shared with the patient. If is possible to put stints in the coronary artery I'm sure we can do a pap smear with something a little less aggressive 😉

I saw that there was a pair of Dutch engineer women who invented a version that is made of softer material and has 3 "petals" that open more gently. it's called The Lillium and it's currently in trials.

there's 2 ladies (i believe they are Swedish) who made a new style that's a flower shape.

When I first started going to my gyno & the speculums were metal, yes I am old. They were always ice cold!!

also the one you're holding is huge. they normally use one that is much much smaller and then go up from there. 😵
