THIS IS HOW TO MAKE THAT SMEAR TEST LESS EMBARRASSING

Okay, I want to discuss this with you, but it is a bit awkward. Just so you know. The day you had to get on that table for your first smear test, remember? Or do you still need to? Well, I do... Call me a prude, but I'm just not that comfortable with my legs in the stirrups. And then there's that duck bill that you get completely on your hips. Or when I think back to then, man oh man. But anyway, it's necessary. Really very necessary that you occasionally visit the best man or woman for a smear test.

Why? Cervical cancer is a silent killer and you can only trace it with a check that detects abnormal cells. Do you get a call for a screening and throw that letter (just like I did, the klutz) on the big pile of unopened mail? We're going to do things differently from now on. With these tips, you'll make that moment just a little less embarrassing.

Ha, just kidding

Make a joke yourself about that legs-wide situation. And a tip: don't laugh too hard yourself, because that has a counterproductive effect on the duck bill and then you have to start all over again with that procedure and you obviously don't want that.

Rock that skirt

Is the date with the gynecologist or general practitioner set? Then you just wear a little skirt. You only have to lift it up a bit. Trust me, it feels a lot less embarrassing than climbing onto that table or crawling into that chair with a shirt, socks, and your naked bits.

Underwear business

Okay, you obviously wear the prettiest lingerie twenty-four seven. But when you visit a doctor, you really don't have to dig out your Victoria's Secret panties . You change behind a curtain or door and the doctor sees nothing of that lacy little thing. And maybe lace isn't quite the match for a smear test either.

“Is the date with the gynecologist or general practitioner set?”

The shame cut

Another thing, no worries about the cut around the vagina. Yes, you do want to look your best. But no, you don't need to have hours-long grooming sessions to spruce things up downtown.

Does it hurt?

Maybe you're sliding onto the doctor's table for the first time. But very, very, very painful? No, it really isn't. Yes, you feel something, but that can be completely breathed away with one breath.

Spots

It may be that you have a little bit of bleeding afterwards. The doctors and assistants are used to it. You get privacy, a tissue, and you're good to go.

So, now we're all going to make an appointment for a smear test. Deal?
