A stethoscope for carnival is a fake doctor's stethoscope with earpieces, tubing and a round chest piece, which you wear around your neck as a costume accessory. With a doctor costume, a black tube with a silver-coloured chest piece completes the GP look, while a red-and-white model suits a nurse and a green surgical cap turns you into a surgeon. Women, men and children wear one during carnival, and for a funny party there are funny models intended solely for adults.
Which fake stethoscope should you wear as an adult and which as a child?
- For women and men there are separate fake stethoscopes with a bright red, black or blue tube, most with a silver-coloured frame and white, light or black earpieces.
- Women dressing up as nurses will find a red-and-white set that includes a red stethoscope, a cap on a headband, a garter and a syringe that also works as a pen.
- For the role of surgeon there are sets for women and men with a surgical cap, a face mask, a head reflector and a stethoscope, with the cap and mask in mint green or turquoise.
- A toy stethoscope for children has a black tube and a grey frame with an embossed cross, and there is also a set with a reflex hammer and wooden tongue depressors that both adults and children can use.
- For adults there are funny stethoscopes with a skin-coloured penis-shaped chest piece and earpieces, intended as a funny 18+ item.
Separate stethoscope or a complete costume set
A separate doctor's stethoscope is enough if you already have a white coat or surgical outfit, because then you are adding exactly the component that everyone recognises as a doctor. If you are starting with nothing, a costume set with a cap, head reflector and mask provides the surgeon look in one go, and a doctor's bag with six pieces puts the instruments in your hands. With the separate models, the colour of the tube is the main deciding factor. Black stands out sharply against a white coat, while red suits a nurse look. All models are costume accessories and not medical instruments, and you should keep the funny variants for a party with adults.
Syringe and reflector to complement your fake stethoscope
A doctor syringe in your chest pocket gives you a second recognisable attribute, especially if your stethoscope is red and you want to continue the nurse look. If you already have the stethoscope and are missing a detail in your outfit, you can combine it with separate doctor & nurse accessories instead of taking a whole set. This way you build up the look step by step with what you already have at home.
When do you wear a stethoscope for carnival?
During carnival, a stethoscope around your neck is the quickest sign that you are dressed up as a doctor, surgeon or nurse, and that applies to women, men and children. At a themed party or in a group going together as a hospital team, the same fake stethoscope works just as well. The funny 18+ models belong at a funny party for adults.
Your stethoscope for carnival delivered quickly
Anyone who already has a coat can pick up a separate stethoscope in the colour that suits the outfit, and anyone who still needs everything can add a set with a cap and reflector. If you order before 11:59 p.m., your stethoscope will be at your home the next day.
