In my personal experience I was fine and it didn't hurt that I remember, maybe just a little uncomfortable at first.

Good fucking luck. I got one when I turned 21 a few months ago and Im not sexually active and havent been since I was 18….. it hurt really fucking bad. My voice was choking up afterwards like idk how to explain it- I couldnt talk😭 I dont put anything up there ever so if your like me, you seriously need to mentally prepare

I dont put ANYTHING up there, not even fingers (im neurodivergent :P) so it was really fucked up for me. I use extra small tampons… if you are a virgin then dont bother getting a papsmear yet (you dont need one). Idk what u could possibly do to prepare. ☠️☠️

no u dont get one until ur active. Hpv is transmitted from MEN (fuck them) so youll be fine. Id only be worried if cervical cancer or some shit runs in the family. or if u have irregular periods

Nah Pap smears are also for cancer screenings, you're still supposed to get one even if you're a virgin

I'm sure your gyno meant well and I'm not saying your lying ofc, it's just that it's better to get the screening for the slight chance of cancer than waiting until it's too late. Dr. Google tends to agree

We don’t think you’re talking out your ass here the clinical recommendation is to have the Pap smear done at age 21 if sexually active or 26 if not because it is still used for cervical cancers and can detect other concerns

okay yeah she told me that we dont need to get it done at 21 if not sexually active ever, but that eventually youd need it done. Its not like a mandatory rule I guess. My friends who are virgins are pushing it off because they can afford to :P not saying its the absolute right thing to do but papsmears can definitely be more traumatic for people like myself and my friends who are on the spectrum😭Some said theyd rather go their whole life without getting it done. its THAT serious
