So I havent had a papsmear yet. But I
hear girls get them when they're 18. Is
this true? And whats it for? And does it
hurt? What exactly do they do? I'd like
to know all there is to know. I'm 17 and
i'll be 18 in about 8 months, so i'm
nervous.

It doesnt hurt..If ur pregnant they give u
one also. I had my first one when I found
out I was preg I was scared but it didnt
hurt at all. They just test to see if
everything is ok with ur body..Around here
they have to do one by 16 I think it was.

Hey hun! A pap smear is wear they will
check ur cervix and for infections and
other thing like stds. If you are having
sex then you need to get one right away.I
had my first oine when I was like 14 even
though I wasnt having sex! It is really
important to get one!No, I never had one
to hurt they are just a little
uncomfortable!

I picture it as a doctor gone mad sticking
popsicle sticks in there like crazy. My
friend says it hurts terribly, but she
also likes to lie alot. Maybe when the
time comes, i'll "conveniently" forget to
go.

No.. Dont convienetly forget to go.
Their very important. Even if ur not
having sex, they can check u for things
like cervical cancer. U should go yrly at
least. Could u be pregnant? Have u had
sex? If either of those r true, u should
definitly recieve one. Their not painful,
just like said, a little uncomfortable.
Nothing to be scared of tho and their very
short.

Is it usually men that do it or women?
I'd feel awkward having strange men look
at my crotch, even if they are doctors

Hey I got a pap-smear b4. I was so
scared!! I went with my friend at the
time sonja we both got one. It hurts
alittle. I had this brown docter do it
and he had to touch my boobs to make sure
I dont got breast cancer. It was gross
he is like wow you got some big boobs for
a 16 y/o. Ewww!!!  I need to get
another one soon. You are suppose to get
one when you first start having sex.
Alison xoxo

see a gyno...... Wow. I'm scared too
that it'll hurt!

It doesn't hurt, it actually kinda feels
like someone blowing up a balloon very
slowly, I know it sounds weird, but you
just feel like your expanding, they are
very important so make sure to go!

Ok, i'm sorry if I scare any people who
have never had one but ugh! I thought it
hurt. Of course i'm very dry down there
(i'm pregnant and think that makes no
sense...) and i'm allergic to all lubes so
she had to stick it in dry... But I
thought the scraping or whatever kinda
hurt. Maybe my brain was exaggerating it
in my head... I hated it though. Not
that people like it...

I also never had one... I think in
holland they don't think it's that
important. I know older women get one
every 5 years to check for cancer

The first one I had hurt bad but the
second one that I just had about a week
ago at my drs appointment didn't hurt at
all. I didn't even know they had done it
until she said so!
