Quick question - what clothes to keep on for colonoscope??

Off for my colonoscopy in an hour and wondering what clothes can I keep on for the procedure. Obviously bottoms will be off but can I keep my bra, t-shirt, top on?? I like to know these things in advance as I know I'll be in a state and unable to process information too well.

I was in a hospital gown for mine.

Yes, you’ll probably be in a gown

DiscoBob · 20/10/2025 10:03

Yeah they'll ask you to wear a gown. If you want your bra and top on I don't see why they'd disallow it though.

Great thanks. I'm just feeling so cold now I don't want to take anything off!!! But I know hospitals are always roasting. I'd just feel better in my t-shirt. And bra of course!

I've always been given a gown but kept my top and bra on underneath it. You are also given some delightful mesh knickers with a flap at the back.

Thanks everyone. In the end I was given 2 gowns, one put on at the front and the other at the back for modesty. I kept on my bra and vest top. A bit disappointed I didn't get the mesh knickers with flap!!!
