I think I had stirrups when being stitched after childbirth (three times) but I was so high on gas and air (with my first birth the bastards gave me gas and air for the stitching but not for the actual birth) and post-childbirth hormones that I didn't really notice or care.
And well, I would like them to be able to see what they're doing at that point, especially the nurse who said "I'm just going to ask for a seccond opinion" which turned out to be "which side do you think this bit goes?" (yes the first labour was horrific and yes I am still bitter)
I was never told to use stirrups during labour.
For smears and IUS fitting it's been the frog thing.
