Wearing Intimates to the Doctor

[Ronni Seymour]

I pretty much have stopped wearing male boxers and just exclusively wear panties however I dress. I notice a number of sisters usually wear male underwear to the doctor. The kind of undies I wear is my business and I really shouldn't care what others might think about it. So the next trip I take to my doctor I will continue to wear my ladies things. I assume he will ignore the issue and not say anything.
Who else has done the same, and what was the doctors/nurses reaction?

I've worn panties to the doctor's office on at least two occasions and the doctor didn't bat an eyelash either time. Of course, they were plain white or plain black bikinis. One time, my toes were painted a bright red and I was wearing sheer trouser socks...still no reaction.

This is my only Doctor/nurse encounter...About two years ago I started having chest pain and a funky heart beat, went to the ER and was admitted to CCU for montoring! It turned out to be a reaction to tagamet and all was well by the next morning. But it never crossed our minds about my CDing before we went! Mauve polish on my toes, purple panties with a cute little lace trim and a small bow in the front and smooth shaved legs. We did well on covering things up until we got to CCU where the nurse needed to do a full exam for pulses and edema, which ment checking the pulses in both feet, behind my knees and in the groin area etc. We told her about the why's and what's...she was fine with it and even said she thought it was pretty cool, loved the nail color! I think I was more concerned about what the hospital staff was going to think then why I was having problems. I know they see it all, I was in the medical field for 30 years but it's still concerned me some. Kaitlin

My last drs visit was for a physical and to ask for a referral to a gender therapist. So although I was dressed in drab I was underdressed and he and his assistant (med student) were so good with it. I would not worry.

Well I don't wear my panties to the doctor but I got caught with my pink toe nails once and that was funny. My wife usually accompanies me when I go to the doctor ( yes, she still treats me like a 3 year old). Luckily this day she didn't come with me. She would have been mortified. I showed my picture of Rita which I always carry with me to the doctor and he thought that I looked pretty good. Nice guy.

They DON'T care. They are professionals who are there to maintain your health. Your choice of clothing should only prompt the question of if they can help you transition if that is what you are looking towards. Most the time you are naked anyway with a gown that is far worse than any undergarment you could want to wear.

They don't care...they are doing their job

People who work in the medical profession -- as well as cops -- have seen EVERYTHING. It takes quite a bit to shock them. Much more than wearing panties.

I was at the doctor last week. Drab, but he knows (because my wife told him). We discussed it a little bit. He said he would like to see my pics. Said something about the law or ethics prevents him from telling others and he was careful to not mention it in my (now computerized) medical record. Mentioned he had a couple of other cd patients. Later I told the nurse as she put a band aid on a leg cut. I mentioned I was cd because my legs were partly shaved

I've underdressed for doctor's appointments. Her assistant said "That's a very pretty bra" as she was checking my BP. No problem.

Only time I've had any static was at a chiropractor's office. I had been in for several treatments and the staff had put the electrodes for my tailbone below my panties. This day the doctor went to remove them and as she did she pulled the waist line elastic on my panties and let it snap. I'm sure she did it to let me know what she knew. They were a very shear material and obviously panties. She never said a word. A few visits later I was wearing my Princess running shoes and she said we have the same shoes on how do you like them?

I went to the Drs. thinking only a blood test boy was I wrong.He has a nurse yake my vitals then tells me totake off my shirt and shoes& socks. Well he leaves the room and I quickly get off my pantyhose and socks and there they are MY TOENAILS painted in bright red. Dr. comes back in cecking my chest then goes to my feet ,when he see's my toes I see his eyebrows rize up but not a word about them.

Im sure they wouldn't mind as was said they are professionals and are more concerned with your health than as to what you wear i imagine. Unless it was a foot doctor then im sure they'd tell you not to wear heels everyday.

I don't have any male underwear anymore. I did have to take my top off for a nurse once, and of course I had a bra on. She never made a comment about the bra but she did say 'Wow, you are really coming on!'. Cheered me up no end. Also, when I was involved in a car crash recently, I told the paramedic who was checking me over, that I was a TS (I was dressed in androgynous womens clothes). I noticed a significant change in her attitude towards me, she became much more friendly and chatty, was very, very curious and asked me lots of questions. It was quite nice, actually, in an otherwise awful day.

[Karen__Starr]

Never had issues with my doctor but several times got stares from patients in the waiting room but ignored them.

[Kimberly Marie Kelly]

and the doctor never said a thing or reacted negatively. So don't worry what you wear. Kimberly

[Anna the Dub]

Never had issues with my doctor but several times got stares from patients in the waiting room but ignored them.

I encountered that yesterday when I went to collect my prescription. The men won't look at you, they glance and then quickly look away, looking very uncomfortable. The women, on the other hand, openly stare. Curiosity, probably.

I go to my local VA center for my medical needs. I see a nurse/pracitioner as my primary provider. I wear panties every time I go and she hasn't ever made any comment. I guess most of them have seen it all before.

Hi Ronnie

Doctors have seen it all dear.
Even though I had told my doctor I was a crossdresser and TG I still couldn't get pass those ugly male underwear when going for a physical until the last time when I just decided what the heck? I wore black brief panties with lace around the legs..
He did his usual poking and prodding thing and not a word was said about the underwear..
turned out it didn't matter

[Babette]

I were ever so foolish to wear male underwear to the doctor's office, he might be disturbed enough to have me committed. Why change from what I normally do? In reality, I don't think there is too much I could do to ever surprise him.

I only have panties so thats what i wear 24/7

[joannemarie barker]

there's always a chance your doc has a nice pair of frillies on too

Absolutely. While I don't wear a bra all of the time, I do wear panties all of the time (and shave legs and underarms) and have never had a comment. I tell my doctors that I am TG, and that I take phyto-estrogens. BTW, my current doctor is a woman, and I am very comfortable asking her about the effects of soy, which I am now taking.

[Ronni Seymour]

Happy to hear all the replies. I assumed as much, but it is nice to hear others experiences.

I have been wearing a bra and panties as my only underwear for 7 years now. I have a female doctor too and while I do remove my bra when I have a doctors office appointment, I don't change anything else about my underwear. I don't remove my toenail polish either. Ok, my panties on these occasions are plain colored cotton ones with no lace, very ordinary, but it's still obvious that they are panties ..... especially to another woman. What happened? .... nothing! I did feel a little bit shy standing there in my panties and painted toenails the first time but I'm fine now. I don't know if it's just me or not, but I've noticed she has never referred to my panties as "shorts" or "briefs" or anything like that, when she examines me she just asks me to pull my "underwear" down. Maybe it was nothing and I'm reading more into it. Anyway, it's certainly not a problem.

As I mentioned on another Thread, I wear panties to the doctors office all the time. And that means to numerous doctors since I have several specialists. I also have pedicures, usually with some shade of bright red polish. My Endochronologist always asked me what color are my toes before he tells me to take my shoes and socks off so he can check my feet.

I wore pink satin panties the last time I went to my Cardiologist, and she did a full body blood pressure check. When she pulled my pants down to check the groin area she saw my pink panties. All she said was, "nice underwear!" Of course she had seen white satin ones on me before!
