This is why so many women wait as long as possible for pap smears, or forgo them altogether. Mine uses a plastic one. Still uncomfortable, but not painful like the metal one.https://twitter.com/JLaCocaina/status/1054475802492850176 …

This is the tool I’m talking about, for men who may have never seen a speculum. Most are metal, some are plastic. For a pap, they stick this inside your vagina, crank it to hold your vagina open, then they prick your cervix with long, skinny cotton stick for cells to test.pic.twitter.com/TOqh7ClHcB
