It is mostly just discomfort, generally no pain unless there is a problem. The doctor will lie you back on a table and you will put your feet in stirrups (or foot holders) with a sheet draped over you to cover you as much as possible. She will insert a device in your vagina that is metal (can be cold sometimes) that will spread the vaginal opening apart. The most discomfort is generally when the doctor actually takes the sample from your cervix. She will insert a brush, or wooden spoon (Different, depending on the doctor) and she will then take a sample of the cervical cells and take them to be tested. During that part, you might feel a little pain, but like I said, mostly just discomfort.
