I have been getting pap smears and exams since I was 18. It is a little awkward the first few times, but each time it gets easier and easier! Also, pap smears don’t hurt. Sometimes there is some discomfort, but not actual pain. Sometimes, the OB/GYN can accidentally pinch you inside with the speculum. Just make sure you ask around and go to a OB/GYN with an outstanding reputation. Being a virgin doesn’t change anything. And there is no pain afterwards, just a slight embarrassed feeling the first few times you get one. DON’T put off getting checked out because you are nervous! I had a friend who did even though she was sexually active, and ended up losing an ovary because she had cysts that went undiagnosed for far too long! Try to relax and take deep breaths! The whole exam literally lasts 10 minutes! No biggie!

I feel so self conscious about my body “Down There” I honestly don’t wanna have my gyno exam till I’m at least 16, 17 or maybe even 18. Cause I know you need to have it before ur 20… but still… I don’t even like the idea of Masturbation, let alone THIS!….

I know this is pointless info but when I was 12 (still am) my 16 year old cousin raped me. My mum took me to the doctors because she was worried if something bad could happen because I haven’t had my period. Eventually my doctor said I needed to be examined and have a pap smear I was so scared but it did hurt a little I’m not going to lie I think it’s because I’m still not used to the feeling (not even tampons YUCK!) and I think it’s supposed to get wider the more things are put up it

I wouldn’t want a doctor like the one in that picture. She looks like she’s in the mood to break something and if I’m going in for a pelvic exam then NOPE.

Pap smears do hurt! If you relax and take deep breaths and think about something other than someone invading your goods it will be over before you know it!
