In answer to my own question, just in case someone else wonders, it is a little unusual in the US for a woman to have a pelvic exam without stirrups. It is apparently the norm in the UK, Australia and New Zealand however. Some women prefer no "stirrups" or "supporters" as they are called in the UK, but some women may prefer the use of the devices. Talk with you doctor about what is most comfortable for you individually.
