What is Nella?
Introducing the MODERN Speculum
After nearly 200 years of hard, painful metal, the speculum has been reimagined by Nella founder, Fahti Khosrowshahi.
She’s shaping a new experience for the modern pelvic exam with a patient’s comfort in mind.
Nella is made of medical-grade polymer that’s smooth and temperature-neutral— meaning no lubricant or warming is required. Make your annual exam less stressful. Less painful. Ask your doctor about Nella today.

Start the conversation with your doctor by showing them the Kit and letting them know that a comfortable pelvic exam is important to you. In fact, it’s so important that you brought your own comfortable speculum! Here are some other ways to open the discussion:
- 90 percent of women get anxious about pelvic exams. I’m one of them.
- Traditional speculums hurt me/make me bleed. Nella is as slim as a tampon.
- I don’t like how uncomfortable traditional speculums are. Nella is much easier to insert.
- I want an exam that’s easy and comfortable. I know Nella will help.
Each Kit comes with:
- A Nella Kind Single-Use Vaginal Speculums
- One pair of soft socks (peace out, freezing metal stirrups and exam floor)
- One stress ball (squeeze the worries away)
- One packet of lubricant for your clinician to use during the exam
- One vaginal wipe for use after your exam
- Instruction sheet for your clinician
Show your OB/GYN the Comfort Kit and give them the instruction card inside the box. It includes detailed instructions and illustrations for your clinician about how to use Nella. It's a simple instruction card (remember they are trained on using speculums, Nella is a speculum, but with modern designs for improved comfort). No clinician should refuse to use the Nella Speculum on you. It’s your vagina and your comfort.
You’re not alone! 90 percent of women feel anxious before and during their pelvic exams and approximately 27 percent of all women in the US have not seen their OB/GYN in the last three years. By purchasing the Nella Comfort Kit, we’re hoping that women everywhere, but especially women who have anxiety and pain, will feel like you can take charge of your pelvic exam. When you show up to your appointment with a Kit, it tells your healthcare provider loud and clear that you need something better. The Nella Comfort Kit is a solution designed by women for women with the goal of empowering all of us to put the control over our own healthcare back in our hands. Literally.
No clinician should refuse to use the Nella Speculum on you. It’s your vagina and your comfort.
Yes, you can purchase our comfort kit to bring to your next OBGYN appointment. The Comfort Kit has one disposable specula, along with a pair of socks to wear during your exam (and many moments at home afterwards).
The Nella Speculum featured in the Comfort Kit is manufactured clean and is packaged individually consistent with the speculum used in hospitals and clinics
Nope! The Nella speculum in the Comfort Kit is single use, so your clinician should toss it once they’re done with your exam.
A speculum is a medical tool used during gynecological exams to help open the vaginal canal so that the healthcare provider can examine the cervix and vaginal walls. The speculum is inserted into the vagina and then gently opened to provide a clear view of the cervix. Nella is a single-use, disposable device that is made of plastic. To use a Nella speculum, the healthcare provider first lubricates it with a water-based lubricant. Then, the speculum is inserted into the vagina and gently opened by squeezing the handles together. Once the speculum is open, the healthcare provider can examine the cervix and vaginal walls using a light and a swab. After the exam is complete, the speculum is removed from the vagina by releasing the handles and gently pulling it out. The Nella speculum is then disposed of in accordance with medical waste disposal regulations.
We at Nella think all women should see their medical providers, regardless of age. But Nella isn't just for you. It's for your daughters, and your granddaughters, or your friend's daughter. It's for all women who care about women's health and the need for its evolution. Because it's about time we deserve modernized healthcare. Is this made of plastic? Plastic speculums hurt me just as much as metal. Our team of engineers have worked diligently to find the right material that is durable, smooth and strong. Try it and let us know what you think!
Nella will not take the pain away from any procedure, whether its an IUD insertion, Biopsy, etc. But Nella will make it far more comfortable for you during the exam.
