Good for him taking that on. The fact he admitted he would be staying home with those pains gives people like me who suffered from PCOS such validation! What a great tool!! Great video!
As a teenager I had period pain that brought me to my knees- the doctor had to prescribe me darvocet for my period days. After my first baby it wasn’t so bad.
Probably the most feminist thing I have ever seen. Making man feel women’s pain. I understand it is a super strong and disruptive pain, but there is really no need for this. Such a stupid thing to do and this man wanting to try it…
Is it wrong for people to want to empathize with us and understand our pain? First of all, the definition of feminism is simply wanting equality for men and women. Them being able to understand what our pain is like of their own volition is not torture. Your opinion but if I were a man, I’d like to know what my fellow women were feeling every month 🤷♀️. As a woman with PCOS, it hurts like shit every month. I’m bleeding heavily out of my ass and I need to take birth control to even have normal periods. Simulators can’t even replicate that 😂, they can only replicate part of the pain
Yep. But it goes on for days. They left out the bloating, the frequent changing and concern of leakage, water retention and the irritability from it all. Not to mention, but I will, the clothes not fitting and squeezing into them or searching for the “right” outfit because it fits or will hide leaks well all the while minding your temper while going about your busy day when you would rather just cozy up on the couch with a bowl of chocolate ice cream and a heating pad.
@@GDAWG.You're a real winner. Bet you wouldn't be able to put up with half the pain and general discomfort we do. Hope you never have any women in your life, because you would probably treat them like crap.
@@GDAWG.Imagine having the pain of diarrhea cramps amplified and when you have to take a piss it hurts even worse when you try to push your pee out. Imagine someone applying normal pressure to your stomach, but it feels like they just punched it. That's many of us women on endometriosis. You have no idea how easy you have it man. Your mom might have suffered this bad every month while raising you as a kid aside from the child birth at the beginning. Please do not put your smart input in something you know nothing about nor ever experienced.
Most guys put it on for their mates and act dramatic for the fun of it. He’s on the clock and has taken a taser and pepper spray as training. You think a small shock is gonna make him scream? Grow up 😂 he was more uncomfortable with her relent touching of him.
I tried one of these about a year ago (I'm a woman in my 30's with small children for reference) and ended up making an appt with my gyno upon discovering that though I don't have endometriosis, I have always since I got my cycle at 10 years old, had pain that was roughly a 10 or worse. I was always told growing up that nobody cared about my pain and that I needed to pop some ibuprofen, suck it up and deal with it. My gyno actually asked me "how could you think that pain would be normal for anyone?"
Yesss!! I know people use them on men for social media but it's actually so helpful for women too! I think these should be tried out in sex ed classes, so girls know when their period pain is beyond what we should have to manage, and it can give them a way to communicate how bad their pain actually is
Never thought about that! I’d like to try one. After childbirth, my pain was way more manageable, but before I would be on the bathroom floor for a whole day. Now it’s usually a few hours and it passes.
@rachelwhite2210 - I thought labor pain was not as bad since it subside or in intervals. But menstrual cramps were beyond excruciating until Midol and Advil came along.
@@celiajarvis3168 I was induced and unmedicated for most of my labor, so I thought I was going to die during labor. There were no real breaks. Plus, I felt my contractions all down my legs, just like cramps, and the hospital didn't really have any solutions for that. My cramps since then have been less. My mom says she was the same way. Debilitating before birth, manageable after. Midol and Advil still only help so much. I would basically just lay on the cold bathroom floor with a heating pad and a pillow curled up in the fetal position trying to sleep through it.
I stopped eating sugar, drinking coffee (caffeine altogether) and alcohol, and also all nicotine altogether the days before and it helps. I am lucky in that I can mark my first day to the dot each month. Banking on its regulatory helps me so much. Still hurts, but I am not disabled anymore. Wondering if I should still say something. My gynecologist is male, and I wonder if he doesn't care too much, because he's never mentioned anything before. I have only seen him twice, though
I am old now (82) but I have not forgotten what it was like. Sometimes I crawled around on the floor trying to make it stop. The doctor said it would all go away when I had a baby. To tell the truth, he was right. Still, if men had that kind of pain, research would be dedicated to providing relief.
100% true, if this pain was experienced by most men once a month, l am pretty sure we would have multiple pain relief options by now. Not to mention being taken serious by (male) doctors.
I remember walking around the office at work with cold sweats hitting me in waves; had to bend down to get files from bottom drawers, answer phones for customer service, and try to remain pleasant. Agony!
Had massive cramps and a sinus headache at the same time while answering calls for work and dealing with a caller who was cussing me out and had to be pleasant with all of that going on 😵💫🙃🥴
I’ve also done the ol’ let be bend down for these files but maybe let’s just stay down here in a crouching position for like 3 minutes..nothing to see here folks. Just super interested in this super nice low pile orange 1970’s office carpet..
I have endo and severe PCOS, to the point where I’ve had to get blood transfusions. I finally found an oncologist that will work with me cause I have a 7cm cyst in my right ovary. My last Dr, who also had PCOS so I thought she’d be sympathetic (nope), only offered an ablation to help with the bleeding. My last transfusion was in 2017, have been anemic since and finally in 2023 a Dr sent me for iron after I passed out and knocked out my 3 front teeth. Men, ya guys got it easy!
@@sjohnson65456 which ones? Over the counter ones? Prescription ones? Pill or liquid ones? Or just increasing iron rich foods in my diet like spinach and liver? Cause I did all of the above. Sometimes it’s not enough, and sometimes those supplements effect other functions of your body
Regardless of the illness or injury, there should be room in society for people to be ill and still be able to work and contribute to society to the best of their ability. Endometriosis or back injury, gender doesn't matter, every human being gets ill sometimes. People aren't really allowed to get sick in America. Ignoring it can just make you sicker. To the guy pushing past his back injury, I'm sorry you have to go through that.
He knew that it wasn't going to last all day long. He definitely knew that it wasn't going to go on for 3 days. With that information, he can tolerate it.
My daughter kicks my balls every other day, I can really imagine how that is. I also know how a liver punch or a broken rip feels like. And other stuff.
Yeah in my experience men on average have an idea how much it sucks (especially if they have sisters or daughters), but it’s always different experiencing it yourself! They have a new appreciation and respect and I respect that back
Absolutely. He was a trooper all the way. I think all men should need to take this test when they come of age. At the very least, to be more understanding of their female counterparts and what our physiology goes through every month. If men caught a glimpse of what women have been in agony over, they wouldn't make so many flippant remarks about a "woman being on the rag." They'd honor us more for our ability to persevere through such an ordeal 12x a year x 35+ years.
I'm old now, but I remember having severe back pain during my period. It was really bad and I have a very high pain tolerance. I found out I had a retroverted uterus - it was tipped back. After I had children, that straightened out the uterus and the pain went away.
Will he dont need to because man dont have period and if a women can't handle the pain she shouldn't be officer or firefighter or hard laboring jobs because when civilian's want your help they need you to focus
I went on patrol with gramps so bad it was hard to function. The officers on my shift knew without me saying anything. My husband never noticed. Lol Women are awesome!!
I had to have a blood transfusion during my last ever period. I passed out at work. When I was on medical leave (I am an RN) my managers demoted me two weeks into my only four weeks of leave. I came back and had to push a cart that weighed about four hundred pounds and I busted my stitches open. My point is even nurses can get treated bad because of women’s issues. If I would have called off I would have been disciplined. There was one day as soon as I got to work someone tapped on my shoulder to alert me to the pool of blood I was standing in. I had to change and work 16 hours.
@@chocolatefrenzieya nope. I have heard many stories. Nobody knows or cares until someone drops. The field is so overworked and fast-paced. I used to pay attention to my co-workers and if I saw them not looking well I would intervene. I remember a nursing coworker that I did not even get along with because she was never nice to me walk into the break room after her shift looking pale and barely able to walk. I said to her you do not look well. She said she did not feel good all shift. From the symptoms she told me and how she presented I said I think you need to go to the ER now. I said I would walk her down there to make sure she got there safely and I wanted to make sure she went. She refused me walking her there but she did tell me she would go to the ER. She did go. I dont know what happened since it is her medical privacy but she didnt come back to work for two months. She had been hospitalized. When I worked as a pysch nurse, I saw one of the assistant not doing well at all. I was busy as all get out, like normal, but I stopped and started talking to her. She said she was struggling really bad with her own mental illness. At that moment she became my patient because that is how I saw it even if she was not admitted there. I said do think youll be able to make it through the shift? She said she thought so. She said, thank you most people dont even ask or care. I told her at any point to talk to me on shift or when I was off the shift. You will find that in pysch nursing. Many of staff members struggle with their own mental illness or have family members that have mental illness and that brings them to caring for mentally ill.
@@chocolatefrenzieyanot exactly. One of the reasons medical staff burn out so easily is because of how shitty they’re treated. My niece is a PICU nurse. When she worked days she loved her job but hated the way that the day staff was treated. She switched to graveyard and she said it’s a lot better. But you still face bullshit. Last year she took a medial leave to have her youngest baby and a hysterectomy. When she came back she excepted to lift patients that weighed almost as much as she does. With the type of surgery she had, you’re supposed to ease your way back into that stuff. You’re kind of supposed to even with a robotic assisted surgery too but it’s not as slow.
Yes, you do. I've dealt with chronic pain for almost 27 1/2 years. Our pain threshold is lower, because our pain never fibers are always primed. However, our pain tolerance is phenomenal! I've stayed at home passing a kidney stone about the width of my pinkie finger and Urinating blood and blood clots, and being denied pain medication from the Urologist I first saw. I've also stayed home recently for 8-10 hours with Pancreatitis until I couldn't take the pain anymore. I've had both my kneecaps removed, and those surgeries were beyond agonizing. I've had brain surgery to remove a Pituitary tumor, and a headache that I got afterwards was so severe, I passed out from the pain. Plus, I had PCOS and Endometriosis for 28 years until I had a Hysterectomy. So, pain and I are well acquainted. Then, you tack on top of all of that, chronic pain patients pain meds being SEVERELY restricted because of the drug addicts, and living with pain becomes so much harder.
Give it a couple days. Then do it again the next month, and the next and the next. Start lengthening the duration a few days turns into a full week, then move on to half your month, at level ten. Meanwhile have people around you act like pain is no big deal, and your bringing it up, well that is just kind of gross of you. Irritation really sets in when people how much more attractive you’d be if you just “smile.”
@@regondiNo. It's a matter of trying to get people to understand to have more empathy when women do have their periods. Exactly as she said, your boss doesn't give a fuck if you're in severe pain. I'd be nice for that to change since half the world deals with this.
Guys, nobody does anything when you say "i'm a bit in pain right now". Same for period cramps. What do you expect? Like everybody else you can always say stuff like "sorry, can't concentrate that well rn because of the pain". But that's about it. Nobody cares about your pain, welcome to life.
When I was raped in the law library, the women employees wrapped me in a warm blanket, gave me a chocolate bar and a mug of hot chocolate! They understood!
Or longer. Having PCOD, I often went for weeks on end, sometimes two periods within a couple of weeks of each other & once went for a period of about 6-7 months with bleeding that was bad enough that I couldn't wear regular kotex (I had to wear depends & even that was no guarantee against leaks). I asked my obgyn if a hysterectomy would be an option since having children was definitely not in the cards for me & was told I couldn't bc it would speed up the aging process (& this was from a doctor who had been in practice for close to fifty years). When I finally went through the change, you never saw a happier person than me just knowing that all that was finally behind me after decades of severe pain, etc.
@chrishernandez4266 wow! No wonder you were glad to see menopause. I was glad to see menopause too because of the no more pain factor, too, but mine sure wasn't as bad as you describe. 😱
@@iamthatiam44444 my PCP wanted to put me on hormone therapy when I first started going through the change, but by then, all I could think of was getting on with the no more periods thing, so I told him that I didn't want to be on the hormone therapy meds any longer bc it was prolonging things where I was still having periods after a break of no periods & then them starting back up once he put me on the hrt meds. I was just so ready to be done & he understood. I've been fortunate that I haven't had major issues with hot flashes, etc., for the most part. The best part about the change has been no more bloody messes to clean up & no more pain, etc. (that often left me bedridden when it was severe enough). Iykyk!
Mines 7 to 10 days because the clamps start a few days before my Hell week (period ) starts so I get a little bit of extra uncomfortable time every month .
It's fun for a couple of minutes, but they get to take the electrodes off! Try that for a week! Every month! And still go to work every day, do exams, organise the kids. Smile at everyone. And they wonder why we get grumpy...
Try dealing with PMDD( Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder.) It is a form of extreme PMS that affects the mood and causes depression. I already am bipolar 2 which usually causes depression to begin with. The PMDD is worse than the bipolar.
You don't need a simulator. rotten curry for the diarrhea bowel trouble, elastic band around the testis, waxed chest for the sore boobs, and someone walking on your stomach and lower back every 10 minutes! Oh and also having a tsunami of blood gushing out with every movement.
Or do what my sister in law did when my brother said something stupid about period pains and the cooch couldn’t hurt. She put 4 of those electrodes on his testicles and cranked it straight to 10. Then she left him in the room with the control several feet away and he couldn’t make his legs work. He never said that again.
During the 1st 2, sometimes 3 days, it gets really bad, but sometimes my periods don't have any pain at all. But I know that during the night, if I'm having so much pain the next day, I'm still in pain. I'm calling in work. I don't care the pain gets so bad I can't get out of bed, I can't walk. The most I could do is start a load of laundry if it really needs it but I will try to avoid it. Mabe cook dinner too. Depends on how I feel towards the evening. My pains get to a 10, and I have a very high tolerance for pain. But when it gets so bad it's bad I'm crying. And I deal with this alot I'm also going through menopause which sucks too
The only time I have ever passed out from pain was from period cramps and I had 3 babies, 12 hour labors with no anesthetics. The only things that came close was a ruptured ovarian cyst and a kidney stone.
All the comments comparing this to anything that men might have...remember, this is all day, every day, for 5-7 days, not to mention all of the other unpleasant symptoms. And, it's not a contest. It is to point out that women's petiod pain has bern discounted and underappreciated by society and the laws of employment and disability. Quute frankly, no one should have to work sick, injured, or in pain. Our system is broken.
@janem2684 - Hey! You are all for equality, right? Women are no different than men, right? Us men work plenty while sick and injured and we suck it up. You ladies can, too. Got a problem with that? Then get out of the workforce, and prepare to be a good housewife so you don’t have to work.
I remember, years ago, reading where some tribal societies have tents that women go into during their period to just hang out until it's done. Others take care of the kids and the chores during that time. The author of the article was fuming over how insulting that was to women. I knew that she was not someone with debilitating cramps for days. If she was, she would have been praising that practice to the high heavens - LOL!
Women should be given days off work for period pain each month, I agree. But non-paid leave, of course. The company pays workers to work, so it should be equal for both parties (Boss and worker).
@@akotarakz Of course, just like any other illness or injury. If the sick time is not there, the pay is not there. That's why women routinely go to work anyhow with debilitating pain. No one has that much sick time racked up.
HELL NO! We need an anti-menopause suit! 😅 I'm sweatin my boobs off! My skin got a little more lax (eyelids, back of hands, thin area). I'm a little wider. I'm like, I've wasted my waist! LOL Thanks Peri Menopause!
Honestly, as someone with a period, I don't have much, if any, pain, so it's really enlightening for me too to see things like this. I was always sort of confused when people said they had really bad pain. I was like, what? But I get now that I'm lucky or something and that many people do have a crippling experience. Glad that guy was willing to try it and was cool with saying it sucked.
Omg! I can remember not being able to stand up from having horrid cramps. This was some years ago, and prescription Motrin had just come on the market, thank heavens! I actually wanted to hug my gynecologist when he said I needed to have a complete hysterectomy after suffering with this awful pain for over 27 years. Luckily for today’s women there is recognition and help for such suffering - including a way to make men feel and understand it. Whoever thought this up is a genius!!
@@cdes1776 you just need to breathe and you leak blood , plus going to check on your sanitary pads every hour , making up hot water bottles and painkillers for several days .
Was told for years that everyone ha D period pain and I should stop complaining. Went to school...work. Finally diagnosed with endometriosis but it still took some time to get a pain management program in place. Sweats...vomiting...couldn't move at some points. And was expected to be cheerful and good natured throughout each cycle. So pleased to see women and medical professionals taking it seriously. No one should suffer like I and countless other women did.
And this is why women should get 3-4 days off a month for menstrual pain. My wife goes through bad times and me having crohns disease and literally poop blood id still prefer what i have to having to deal with that while working.
You can't simulate period cramps or symptoms. You can provide all the current you want, it isn't the same. That's like when you make a man wear weights on his belly and pretend he knows what it's like to be pregnant. A period doesn't feel like electric currents
No it doesn't; the thing is, women's bodies are equipped with what they need to endure the pain. Oxytocin is critical for all of that including childbirth. Men do not have that physiology (the study of human function) Anatomy regards the structure of the human body. Honestly, if men want to transition to female, put them on a period simulator for 12 months; it would be interesting to see a study on that. What would be their end conclusions? In for a penny, in for a pound. Put your money where your mouth is etc etc.
Chronic pain, even if it's occasional, is something you learn to live with. Simulating period cramps/pain to someone who hasn't experienced them ever, then judging them because they don't handle it as well as people who have dealt with it for decades, is disingenuous.
I had mine earlier this year just before I turned 42. I always joke that I gave myself a hysterectomy for my own birthday. It was just over 2 weeks before.
@@mcrchickenluvr My recovery was less painful than and less debilitating than my periods. It lasted longer, but for a period-free life...I wish I had done it sooner.
My periods were every 24-26 days and were a full 7 days. Heavy bleeding, pain that no Tylenol or ibuprofen could help with, and that had me whimpering while clutching a hot water bottle or heating pad. Nights were long and even worse because throughout the night I’d doze off but a fresh wave of pain would wake me. It never occurred to me to talk to my doctor about it because I was told it was normal since every woman was different, plus I had been told as a very young teen when my periods first started that I shouldn’t make such a big deal about it. I was so relieved to start going through menopause a little early-and to eventually have that pain and misery that had lasted so many years finally come to an end.
You forgot how men act insane just for having their ego hurt and will impulsively k111 women for having a bad day, but women have to be in pain most if their lives while keeping a smile even when men say stup1d sh1t like this :)
No. We don't get to just sit down through it all. You have to go to work, sit thru meetings, commute back and forth. Get home, cook dinner, laundry, kids, feeding pets etc. All the while you feel like Hell.
May I ask you a stupid question " Have you ever prayed for menopause or death because of period pain ? " I have on multiple occasions because I was curled up on the floor in extreme pain .
I appreciate the men that are tough try this we need guys like you & have tough jobs to show how it effects you to help us ❤.Thank you👏 from someone that has Endo & probably a 10 on the pain scale most days .
I have endometriosis and it took forever (and a side mention from a kind male nurse in the ER) for my doctor to diagnose me. I have a super high pain tolerance, but sometimes I would spend hours curled up in a ball in the floor of the shower just letting the steaming hot water pour on my back. I would have to lie in the fetal position, hugging (squeezing to death) a pillow and have my now ex-husband carry me into the ER. I had surgery and that helped a ton for about 2-3years but now it is growing back. I’ve had monthly shots. It sucks. I’ve had ovarian cysts rupture. I pray for any women dealing with this too!
Had my endometriosis removed, was covered in lesions! Pain came back on my next period and it was just as excruciating; back o low dose birth control pills! Face and lips would turn white, excessive sweating and pain all day unless I took Aleve in time before pain got ahold or else it took 6 Aleve to rid of the pain for several hours and then back again! Men are pussies!
@@katieking8830same here. Aleve would help some if i caught it on time. if not, excruciating pain; found out in my early 20s had endo, fibroids abs cysts on my ovaries.
Yep suffered endometriosis for almost 20 years, started at 14 years old. 13 surgeries, including complete hysterectomy. Developed adhesions and scar tissue from all the surgeries which caused a bowl obstruction which nearly killed me. Endometriosis is no joking matter, incredibly painful.
I wish there were reasonable accommodations for periods, like if someone needed a few days off because of severe pain they could take medical leave or something.
Let's add in: nausea, heartburn, indigestion, headaches, night sweats, achy joints, dizziness, sensitivity to light, lower back pain, cravings, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, PMS, abdominal bloating, lower leg edema, swollem and or tender breasts, tender nipples, lavk of libido, overactive libido, Period Tax (look it up if you're unsure), lethargy, exhaustion, brain fog, crying jags, hair growth, inability to just STOP THE DAY SO YOU CAN DEAL WITH ALL THE CRAP.... men, you have NO IDEA
I'm on day three of my Hell week (period and I'm taking the strongest over the counter painkillers just to get to sleep never mind if needed through the day .
You have to stand up at the front of a room and give a very important presentation to a group of people (your job may depend on your performance) while this is going on.
I truly wish with all my heart that my so called pain doctor could experience this! Though I no longer suffer with actual endometriosis thanks to a successful hysterectomy 15 intense years of suffering took its toll on my body. I feel so much empathy for any woman with this affliction. No, it most likely will not kill you but some days it makes you wish you were. Pain so intense your lips turn white, cold sweats & vomiting. I remember well.
Anyone that doesn't live with chronic pain (monthly or daily) would do well to try this. Ironically, I own a couple muscle-stimulators prescribed for pain relief! Funny how choice alone can change how we experience pain. Expectation is similarly powerful for better and worse.
The leads are set up differently when you use it for pain relief. They are complete opposite set ups. You can use a regular tens set up differently to simulate this device, but this device can not be used like a tens for pain relief. It has two less leads and they are placed parallel rather than 4 and placed diagonal
I had endometriosis and pain was so bad my mom let me stay home for three days i ended up having a full hysterectomy now my oain is a 1 and yes even though you have a hysterectomy you still get the phantom pains
@@Alan.Redwoodokay. Let’s see you be in pain at least a week solid, have a migraine because your hormones are out of whack, your trying not to vomit from the pain caused by the cramps, you have an entire swimming pool in your undies and your mood swings happen of idiots saying ignorant things like you did. All the while you have to work, clean the house, take care of the kids (including the many baby), cook, drive the kids to and from school and extracurricular activities and everything else.
Thank you to the gentleman who are willing to experience that. Honestly, thank you for the empathy or even just the "i dont understand therefor I am willing to try, so that next time.. I DO understand". Personally my pains not so bad anymore but the amount of blood that would 'blub' out of me, which no pad could contain, was a nightmare. Currently 10 months into using a contraceptive implant to deal with them tho.. so far so good
We probably can. But men don't get kicked in the balls everyday for 5-7 days every month, from as young as 11 or younger all the way up well into their 50s or older.
I don't miss my periods. Partial hysterectomy is wonderful ! I have PCOS, and I didn't even know what it was, until I was in my 30's (started my period at 13). A week before it would hit, I would be really angry. Then when I would get it, I would go through hot flashes, horrible cramps, nausea (sometimes even vomiting), fatigue, and heavy bleeding for 7 or more days. The only time my Mom ever took me to the gynecologist, was when a week after my period ended, it started again. In 2015, when I was 35 and having the worst painful period I had ever had, I went to the hospital, where I learned about PCOS. One cyst was baseball sized, the other was softball sized. A week later, I was undergoing a laparoscopy to remove the cysts. Next cycle was fantastic. Minimal pain, and periods lasted 5 days. At 44 I had a partial hysterectomy, and now at 46, I think it was a great decision.
@@susangirardi3655 Ohhhh, you're one of those people who don't understand humor! I would tease the shit out of you, but I'm so much nicer in my old age. I still would love to see a study done on people like you 😆😆
You know I think it's sweet to see he reached out to get comfort from his college and got sone support. It's difficult enough for men who struggle with pride more often. It's extra difficult when you're at work as a professional with colleagues who are all under the expectation to act tough. So well done. And yeah work with Endo isn't really doable often. (Much better since surgery!)
Okay I'm not trying to sound badass or brave because I have severe nerve damage that dampens pain for me. What's a 10 to most people is maybe a 2 for me. I got to try one of these and I maxed out it and did some weight lifting, walking around, sit ups, and it barely registered. All the other guys that tried it with me were nearly crying at 7. One of the guys said I was faking so when they took the pads off me and put them on him he said the funniest shit I ever heard, "Go straight to max." The scream that came out of his mouth was gold. He sounded like he got hit in the nuts then inhaled helium. After the "experience" he couldn't walk for a couple minutes and he cussed me out. He was warned of my pain tolerance. I always tell people don't compare yourself to me because I'm extremely misleading. I was getting blood drawn one time and a little girl was sitting a seat away crying. I felt really bad for her. The nurse doing hers told her to look at how brave I was and how it didn't even hurt me. She got brave and even though it hurt her she did really good. The mom and nurses thanked me for playing along. I told them I didn't feel a thing because of my nerve damage and they just stared at me. I've had "extremely painful" procedures done on me with minimal numbing and was perfectly fine. The doctors that know me don't even use local numbing for some procedures anymore. I had to get a dye injected into my wrist for imaging and the doctor suggested I look away. I asked why and he said he's had patients pass out from watching. He told me he was going to numb it first and I told him he was wasting it on me. He did it anyway and he couldn't believe I didn't even wince. I wasn't acting tough, I just didn't feel anything but a tiny bit of pressure.
Remember the days we had what felt like white bread loafs as pads? They had so little adhesive that they barely stayed in place for an hour but it was still better than those with the loops that you had a special restraint for. I remember my mom telling me about how they had cloth pads that they washed. My mom was 40 when I was born and she explained that because they grew up in very conservative times those pads had to be as white as snow and they had too dry them underneath their beds because their brothers weren't supposed too even know what was happening. Mom said that was also one of the reasons why people so easily believed that a Stork would deliver a baby, pregnancy was not a celebrated event, but many time a baby would literally "just arrive".
I had PCOS. Never missed work, no work no $. Took care of my mother with Alzheimer’s. At least 7 days, very heavy bleeding. I like these videos 😂. My best friend had endo, hysterectomy at 30. Said surgery was a piece of cake. I had one for cancer. She was right, surgery was a piece of cake 😂.
@@t.r.l.4377 you got that right. But no college degree and no school debt I need everyone else to pay for. Free school in fact paid for by company. And 200k a year is easy.
What they're trying to say is that if you have severe pain beyond normal cramping, you need to see a doctor. You may have PCOS, or ovarian cysts which CAN kill you if they aren't treated. One of my best friends had some sort of a condition that if she didn't take medication to regulate her cycle she could just about bleed to death.
They do the same exact thing as a “labor simulator”. So every time a woman has a period, she’s in as much agony as if she was giving birth? Both of which feel exactly like being electrocuted? No, I’m not insensitive to women’s pain- but this is overplaying it.
It actually has the same muscles acting in similar, if not the same ways. The main difference between period pains and labor pains is that period Pains tend to be fairly consistent (and if normal, below a 5), while labor pains tend to ebb and flow from a lower pain level to a higher one. I've heard some of my mother's friends joke about when they were giving birth, It was nothing compared to their period pains so they were actually a little annoyed about how dramatic everyone around them was acting.
Some women have an extremely painful condition called endometriosis that makes their cramps feel very similar to the contractions that women have while giving birth. So no, most women’s cramps aren’t as bad as childbirth, but some are just as bad or even worse. Especially when you factor in that childbirth is typically over in a few hours or day, and period paid last up to several days, combined with the fact that instead of a cute little bundle of joy you get a constant stream of blood and clots, I think it’s safe to say than in some cases period pain can be worse than childbirth.
@@MikeHicks-q3d oh yeah, no, you're right. Its just by electrocuting certain muscles, it can mimic Labor or period pains. It does so by basically encouraging those muscles to contract and release in ways that they usually only do during labor or pregnancy
Good for him taking that on. The fact he admitted he would be staying home with those pains gives people like me who suffered from PCOS such validation! What a great tool!! Great video!
PCOS is such a bitch. I'd love to know how much more comfortable it would be each month if I didn't have it!
Sympathise with you sister!
We own it 🫡
As a teenager I had period pain that brought me to my knees- the doctor had to prescribe me darvocet for my period days. After my first baby it wasn’t so bad.
Congratulations for your validation. Victimization…
Probably the most feminist thing I have ever seen. Making man feel women’s pain. I understand it is a super strong and disruptive pain, but there is really no need for this. Such a stupid thing to do and this man wanting to try it…
Is it wrong for people to want to empathize with us and understand our pain? First of all, the definition of feminism is simply wanting equality for men and women. Them being able to understand what our pain is like of their own volition is not torture. Your opinion but if I were a man, I’d like to know what my fellow women were feeling every month 🤷♀️. As a woman with PCOS, it hurts like shit every month. I’m bleeding heavily out of my ass and I need to take birth control to even have normal periods. Simulators can’t even replicate that 😂, they can only replicate part of the pain
Yep. But it goes on for days. They left out the bloating, the frequent changing and concern of leakage, water retention and the irritability from it all. Not to mention, but I will, the clothes not fitting and squeezing into them or searching for the “right” outfit because it fits or will hide leaks well all the while minding your temper while going about your busy day when you would rather just cozy up on the couch with a bowl of chocolate ice cream and a heating pad.
@@GDAWG.You're a real winner. Bet you wouldn't be able to put up with half the pain and general discomfort we do. Hope you never have any women in your life, because you would probably treat them like crap.

@@Kokolamar Dude, read the comment and thread before responding, please.
I tried one of these about a year ago (I'm a woman in my 30's with small children for reference) and ended up making an appt with my gyno upon discovering that though I don't have endometriosis, I have always since I got my cycle at 10 years old, had pain that was roughly a 10 or worse. I was always told growing up that nobody cared about my pain and that I needed to pop some ibuprofen, suck it up and deal with it. My gyno actually asked me "how could you think that pain would be normal for anyone?"
Yesss!! I know people use them on men for social media but it's actually so helpful for women too! I think these should be tried out in sex ed classes, so girls know when their period pain is beyond what we should have to manage, and it can give them a way to communicate how bad their pain actually is
Never thought about that! I’d like to try one. After childbirth, my pain was way more manageable, but before I would be on the bathroom floor for a whole day. Now it’s usually a few hours and it passes.
@rachelwhite2210 - I thought labor pain was not as bad since it subside or in intervals. But menstrual cramps were beyond excruciating until Midol and Advil came along.
@@celiajarvis3168 I was induced and unmedicated for most of my labor, so I thought I was going to die during labor. There were no real breaks. Plus, I felt my contractions all down my legs, just like cramps, and the hospital didn't really have any solutions for that. My cramps since then have been less. My mom says she was the same way. Debilitating before birth, manageable after. Midol and Advil still only help so much. I would basically just lay on the cold bathroom floor with a heating pad and a pillow curled up in the fetal position trying to sleep through it.
I stopped eating sugar, drinking coffee (caffeine altogether) and alcohol, and also all nicotine altogether the days before and it helps. I am lucky in that I can mark my first day to the dot each month. Banking on its regulatory helps me so much. Still hurts, but I am not disabled anymore. Wondering if I should still say something. My gynecologist is male, and I wonder if he doesn't care too much, because he's never mentioned anything before. I have only seen him twice, though
I am old now (82) but I have not forgotten what it was like. Sometimes I crawled around on the floor trying to make it stop. The doctor said it would all go away when I had a baby. To tell the truth, he was right. Still, if men had that kind of pain, research would be dedicated to providing relief.
Oh, my goodness - no truer words!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
100% true, if this pain was experienced by most men once a month, l am pretty sure we would have multiple pain relief options by now. Not to mention being taken serious by (male) doctors.

Regardless of the illness or injury, there should be room in society for people to be ill and still be able to work and contribute to society to the best of their ability. Endometriosis or back injury, gender doesn't matter, every human being gets ill sometimes.

Good for him, though, for making it all the way to 10. I've seen these where the guy wimps out at like 3!

I had to have a blood transfusion during my last ever period. I passed out at work. When I was on medical leave (I am an RN) my managers demoted me two weeks into my only four weeks of leave. I came back and had to push a cart that weighed about four hundred pounds and I busted my stitches open. My point is even nurses can get treated bad because of women’s issues. If I would have called off I would have been disciplined. There was one day as soon as I got to work someone tapped on my shoulder to alert me to the pool of blood I was standing in. I had to change and work 16 hours.

@@chocolatefrenzieya
nope. I have heard many stories. Nobody knows or cares until someone drops. The field is so overworked and fast-paced.
I used to pay attention to my co-workers and if I saw them not looking well I would intervene.
I remember a nursing coworker that I did not even get along with because she was never nice to me walk into the break room after her shift looking pale and barely able to walk. I said to her you do not look well. She said she did not feel good all shift. From the symptoms she told me and how she presented I said I think you need to go to the ER now. I said I would walk her down there to make sure she got there safely and I wanted to make sure she went. She refused me walking her there but she did tell me she would go to the ER. She did go. I dont know what happened since it is her medical privacy but she didnt come back to work for two months. She had been hospitalized.
When I worked as a pysch nurse, I saw one of the assistant not doing well at all. I was busy as all get out, like normal, but I stopped and started talking to her. She said she was struggling really bad with her own mental illness. At that moment she became my patient because that is how I saw it even if she was not admitted there. I said do think youll be able to make it through the shift? She said she thought so. She said, thank you most people dont even ask or care. I told her at any point to talk to me on shift or when I was off the shift.
You will find that in pysch nursing. Many of staff members struggle with their own mental illness or have family members that have mental illness and that brings them to caring for mentally ill.
@@chocolatefrenzieyanot exactly. One of the reasons medical staff burn out so easily is because of how shitty they’re treated. My niece is a PICU nurse. When she worked days she loved her job but hated the way that the day staff was treated. She switched to graveyard and she said it’s a lot better. But you still face bullshit. Last year she took a medial leave to have her youngest baby and a hysterectomy. When she came back she excepted to lift patients that weighed almost as much as she does. With the type of surgery she had, you’re supposed to ease your way back into that stuff. You’re kind of supposed to even with a robotic assisted surgery too but it’s not as slow.
@orendahandpan thank you for caring when nobody else did!
As a sufferer of chronic pain, it's amazing how you build up a tolerance to it, you have too, especially when there is no help.
Yes, you do. I've dealt with chronic pain for almost 27 1/2 years. Our pain threshold is lower, because our pain never fibers are always primed. However, our pain tolerance is phenomenal! I've stayed at home passing a kidney stone about the width of my pinkie finger and Urinating blood and blood clots, and being denied pain medication from the Urologist I first saw. I've also stayed home recently for 8-10 hours with Pancreatitis until I couldn't take the pain anymore. I've had both my kneecaps removed, and those surgeries were beyond agonizing. I've had brain surgery to remove a Pituitary tumor, and a headache that I got afterwards was so severe, I passed out from the pain. Plus, I had PCOS and Endometriosis for 28 years until I had a Hysterectomy. So, pain and I are well acquainted. Then, you tack on top of all of that, chronic pain patients pain meds being SEVERELY restricted because of the drug addicts, and living with pain becomes so much harder.

Give it a couple days. Then do it again the next month, and the next and the next. Start lengthening the duration a few days turns into a full week, then move on to half your month, at level ten. Meanwhile have people around you act like pain is no big deal, and your bringing it up, well that is just kind of gross of you.

I asked my obgyn if a hysterectomy would be an option since having children was definitely not in the cards for me & was told I couldn't bc it would speed up the aging process (& this was from a doctor who had been in practice for close to fifty years). When I finally went through the change, you never saw a happier person than me just knowing that all that was finally behind me after decades of severe pain, etc.

I remember, years ago, reading where some tribal societies have tents that women go into during their period to just hang out until it's done. Others take care of the kids and the chores during that time. The author of the article was fuming over how insulting that was to women. I knew that she was not someone with debilitating cramps for days. If she was, she would have been praising that practice to the high heavens - LOL!
Women should be given days off work for period pain each month, I agree. But non-paid leave, of course. The company pays workers to work, so it should be equal for both parties (Boss and worker).
@@akotarakz Of course, just like any other illness or injury. If the sick time is not there, the pay is not there. That's why women routinely go to work anyhow with debilitating pain. No one has that much sick time racked up.

Kudos to this gentleman for trying it out 😂 appreciate his honesty about calling off, it sucks not having pto to use just for that, like sick time
You can't simulate period cramps or symptoms. You can provide all the current you want, it isn't the same. That's like when you make a man wear weights on his belly and pretend he knows what it's like to be pregnant. A period doesn't feel like electric currents
Not to mention, pain is 100% subjective. Just another pointless cry of feminism
Freddy Krueger redoing the wallpaper. Ever so slowly.
No it doesn't; the thing is, women's bodies are equipped with what they need to endure the pain. Oxytocin is critical for all of that including childbirth. Men do not have that physiology (the study of human function) Anatomy regards the structure of the human body. Honestly, if men want to transition to female, put them on a period simulator for 12 months; it would be interesting to see a study on that. What would be their end conclusions? In for a penny, in for a pound. Put your money where your mouth is etc etc.
Chronic pain, even if it's occasional, is something you learn to live with. Simulating period cramps/pain to someone who hasn't experienced them ever, then judging them because they don't handle it as well as people who have dealt with it for decades, is disingenuous.

I was so relieved to start going through menopause a little early-and to eventually have that pain and misery that had lasted so many years finally come to an end.
He forgot to act insane for the week before and the for the duration of the week.
You forgot how men act insane just for having their ego hurt and will impulsively k111 women for having a bad day, but women have to be in pain most if their lives while keeping a smile even when men say stup1d sh1t like this :)
Facts. I can always tell when my girl is about to be on her period when she starts getting crazy and weird
lmao! WHERE'S MY CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!
THE RANDOM CRYING 😂😂😂😂 and then laughing
No. We don't get to just sit down through it all. You have to go to work, sit thru meetings, commute back and forth. Get home, cook dinner, laundry, kids, feeding pets etc. All the while you feel like Hell.
No you don’t. You don’t have to do anything in this world that you don’t want to. Free will is a real thing.
May I ask you a stupid question " Have you ever prayed for menopause or death because of period pain ? " I have on multiple occasions because I was curled up on the floor in extreme pain .
Good on him, I was expecting him to cuss 😂😂
When the pain is so bad, you vomit.
I appreciate the men that are tough try this we need guys like you & have tough jobs to show how it effects you to help us ❤.Thank you👏 from someone that has Endo & probably a 10 on the pain scale most days .
You gotta cook

I have endometriosis I have stage 4 it not joke
Feel for you my lovely. ❤
My nephews girlfriend had stage 4 endometriosis, 6 fibroids and adenomyosis. She had to have a hysterectomy earlier this year at only 16.
I have endometriosis and it took forever (and a side mention from a kind male nurse in the ER) for my doctor to diagnose me. I have a super high pain tolerance, but sometimes I would spend hours curled up in a ball in the floor of the shower just letting the steaming hot water pour on my back. I would have to lie in the fetal position, hugging (squeezing to death) a pillow and have my now ex-husband carry me into the ER. I had surgery and that helped a ton for about 2-3years but now it is growing back. I’ve had monthly shots. It sucks. I’ve had ovarian cysts rupture. I pray for any women dealing with this too!
I haven't had a period for 10 years, and watching this made me feel like I was going to start! 😂😂 SO glad those days are long gone!
Right?! I can 'feel' the heaviness, and it ended almost ten years ago.
He took the rest of the day off
Exactly!!! Endometriosis is a WHOLE other Level of PAIN!! but we work regardless 💪 💪 💪
Had my endometriosis removed, was covered in lesions! Pain came back on my next period and it was just as excruciating; back o low dose birth control pills! Face and lips would turn white, excessive sweating and pain all day unless I took Aleve in time before pain got ahold or else it took 6 Aleve to rid of the pain for several hours and then back again! Men are pussies!
@@katieking8830same here. Aleve would help some if i caught it on time. if not, excruciating pain; found out in my early 20s had endo, fibroids abs cysts on my ovaries.
@@katieking8830don't call them p*ssies, they aren't that tough! 😂
With hardly half the efficiency. But keep fighting.
@@lightborn9071 wanna bet?!? Maximum efficiency
Yep suffered endometriosis for almost 20 years, started at 14 years old. 13 surgeries, including complete hysterectomy. Developed adhesions and scar tissue from all the surgeries which caused a bowl obstruction which nearly killed me.
Endometriosis is no joking matter, incredibly painful.
If I called in sic with cramps I'd be fired
This is why we men try to protect you women because you go through enough crap we don't think you deserve to go through rough work days
Not all men, heck not even aajority of them, think like you... we need more men in the world that care about women and their struggles
I wish there were reasonable accommodations for periods, like if someone needed a few days off because of severe pain they could take medical leave or something.
The protectors are the predators.
@@SnowxXxAngel 90% of a person struggles are brought upon by themselves
@@teresamagnusson that statement is what you call an oxymoron
It’s a good thing guys don’t have the muscles necessary to have period pains otherwise they would be taking off a lot more days from work!
I love they do this, yet this is still a game bc they just have to tolerate it for a few seconds.
Ah, holding hands 😂😂 I feel like he had an idea how that was going to go 😅
Let's add in: nausea, heartburn, indigestion, headaches, night sweats, achy joints, dizziness, sensitivity to light, lower back pain, cravings, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, PMS, abdominal bloating, lower leg edema, swollem and or tender breasts, tender nipples, lavk of libido, overactive libido, Period Tax (look it up if you're unsure), lethargy, exhaustion, brain fog, crying jags, hair growth, inability to just STOP THE DAY SO YOU CAN DEAL WITH ALL THE CRAP.... men, you have NO IDEA
Hell yes! 🙄
@Angel-rq3pi - We have to put up with you, ladies. So I’d say it’s about even.
I'm on day three of my Hell week (period and I'm taking the strongest over the counter painkillers just to get to sleep never mind if needed through the day .
@@SpclOps20not even close.
You have to stand up at the front of a room and give a very important presentation to a group of people (your job may depend on your performance) while this is going on.
Nice of him to do that
I truly wish with all my heart that my so called pain doctor could experience this! Though I no longer suffer with actual endometriosis thanks to a successful hysterectomy 15 intense years of suffering took its toll on my body. I feel so much empathy for any woman with this affliction. No, it most likely will not kill you but some days it makes you wish you were. Pain so intense your lips turn white, cold sweats & vomiting. I remember well.
Anyone that doesn't live with chronic pain (monthly or daily) would do well to try this.
Ironically, I own a couple muscle-stimulators prescribed for pain relief! Funny how choice alone can change how we experience pain. Expectation is similarly powerful for better and worse.
The leads are set up differently when you use it for pain relief. They are complete opposite set ups. You can use a regular tens set up differently to simulate this device, but this device can not be used like a tens for pain relief. It has two less leads and they are placed parallel rather than 4 and placed diagonal
I had endometriosis and pain was so bad my mom let me stay home for three days i ended up having a full hysterectomy now my oain is a 1 and yes even though you have a hysterectomy you still get the phantom pains
This Is Why I Told My Sons That Women Are Tough!
Women are not tough. They just have no choice
@@Alan.Redwood and that detracts from the general stoicism of women in the face of recurring bodily anguish how?
@@Alan.Redwoodokay. Let’s see you be in pain at least a week solid, have a migraine because your hormones are out of whack, your trying not to vomit from the pain caused by the cramps, you have an entire swimming pool in your undies and your mood swings happen of idiots saying ignorant things like you did. All the while you have to work, clean the house, take care of the kids (including the many baby), cook, drive the kids to and from school and extracurricular activities and everything else.
So raising your son to be a cuck. Congratulations you failed.
Thank you to the gentleman who are willing to experience that. Honestly, thank you for the empathy or even just the "i dont understand therefor I am willing to try, so that next time.. I DO understand". Personally my pains not so bad anymore but the amount of blood that would 'blub' out of me, which no pad could contain, was a nightmare. Currently 10 months into using a contraceptive implant to deal with them tho.. so far so good
How great that is it that we can “simulate” period pain but can we simulate the pain of being kicked in balls?
We probably can. But men don't get kicked in the balls everyday for 5-7 days every month, from as young as 11 or younger all the way up well into their 50s or older.

I don't miss my periods. Partial hysterectomy is wonderful ! I have PCOS, and I didn't even know what it was, until I was in my 30's (started my period at 13). A week before it would hit, I would be really angry. Then when I would get it, I would go through hot flashes, horrible cramps, nausea (sometimes even vomiting), fatigue, and heavy bleeding for 7 or more days. The only time my Mom ever took me to the gynecologist, was when a week after my period ended, it started again. In 2015, when I was 35 and having the worst painful period I had ever had, I went to the hospital, where I learned about PCOS. One cyst was baseball sized, the other was softball sized. A week later, I was undergoing a laparoscopy to remove the cysts. Next cycle was fantastic. Minimal pain, and periods lasted 5 days. At 44 I had a partial hysterectomy, and now at 46, I think it was a great decision.
I didn’t see him act even slightly crazy…
Because this is only the pain part. And actually, the majority of women function normally in life through it all.
haha! Hormones suck!
@@susangirardi3655 Ohhhh, you're one of those people who don't understand humor! I would tease the shit out of you, but I'm so much nicer in my old age. I still would love to see a study done on people like you 😆😆
OMG..I don’t miss those days. Just days before my period onset would cause me severe anxiety. Thankfully that era is over.
Good way to show men that they dont go through enough day to day.
Excuse me? What the hell do you know about what men go through day to day?
You know I think it's sweet to see he reached out to get comfort from his college and got sone support. It's difficult enough for men who struggle with pride more often. It's extra difficult when you're at work as a professional with colleagues who are all under the expectation to act tough. So well done.
And yeah work with Endo isn't really doable often. (Much better since surgery!)
Now men can see us woman dont lie about period pain, as they say we just pretend to be in pain or it does not excist😮
Don't forget that you have to pretend nothing is wrong while all of that pain is happening.
Okay I'm not trying to sound badass or brave because I have severe nerve damage that dampens pain for me. What's a 10 to most people is maybe a 2 for me.
I got to try one of these and I maxed out it and did some weight lifting, walking around, sit ups, and it barely registered. All the other guys that tried it with me were nearly crying at 7. One of the guys said I was faking so when they took the pads off me and put them on him he said the funniest shit I ever heard, "Go straight to max." The scream that came out of his mouth was gold. He sounded like he got hit in the nuts then inhaled helium. After the "experience" he couldn't walk for a couple minutes and he cussed me out. He was warned of my pain tolerance. I always tell people don't compare yourself to me because I'm extremely misleading.
I was getting blood drawn one time and a little girl was sitting a seat away crying. I felt really bad for her. The nurse doing hers told her to look at how brave I was and how it didn't even hurt me. She got brave and even though it hurt her she did really good. The mom and nurses thanked me for playing along. I told them I didn't feel a thing because of my nerve damage and they just stared at me. I've had "extremely painful" procedures done on me with minimal numbing and was perfectly fine. The doctors that know me don't even use local numbing for some procedures anymore.
I had to get a dye injected into my wrist for imaging and the doctor suggested I look away. I asked why and he said he's had patients pass out from watching. He told me he was going to numb it first and I told him he was wasting it on me. He did it anyway and he couldn't believe I didn't even wince. I wasn't acting tough, I just didn't feel anything but a tiny bit of pressure.
Remember the days we had what felt like white bread loafs as pads? They had so little adhesive that they barely stayed in place for an hour but it was still better than those with the loops that you had a special restraint for.
I remember my mom telling me about how they had cloth pads that they washed. My mom was 40 when I was born and she explained that because they grew up in very conservative times those pads had to be as white as snow and they had too dry them underneath their beds because their brothers weren't supposed too even know what was happening.
Mom said that was also one of the reasons why people so easily believed that a Stork would deliver a baby, pregnancy was not a celebrated event, but many time a baby would literally "just arrive".
What a trooper......eh....ya know what I mean lok
Good on him for being secure enough to try this
Now carry that around for a week.
Okay, but I am really excited for more videos!! I need them so badly! More information about the products PLEASE!! This sounds too good to be true!
I’m having a period simulation right now , on the crapper , after that second cup of coffee 😂
I had PCOS. Never missed work, no work no $. Took care of my mother with Alzheimer’s. At least 7 days, very heavy bleeding. I like these videos 😂. My best friend had endo, hysterectomy at 30. Said surgery was a piece of cake. I had one for cancer. She was right, surgery was a piece of cake 😂.
Now make a roofer in summertime simulator. Or lineman on pole.
Theres no lesb.-gov money innit!

Ah yes the pinnacle off pain. Got it twice. And although i’m a dude. I would take on any period. Rather then the stones off agony.
Ooooh. Have you seen those suckers under a microscope?!?!
"Period pain is not normal" 😂😂😂🤣🤣
What they're trying to say is that if you have severe pain beyond normal cramping, you need to see a doctor. You may have PCOS, or ovarian cysts which CAN kill you if they aren't treated. One of my best friends had some sort of a condition that if she didn't take medication to regulate her cycle she could just about bleed to death.
They do the same exact thing as a “labor simulator”. So every time a woman has a period, she’s in as much agony as if she was giving birth? Both of which feel exactly like being electrocuted? No, I’m not insensitive to women’s pain- but this is overplaying it.
It actually has the same muscles acting in similar, if not the same ways. The main difference between period pains and labor pains is that period Pains tend to be fairly consistent (and if normal, below a 5), while labor pains tend to ebb and flow from a lower pain level to a higher one. I've heard some of my mother's friends joke about when they were giving birth, It was nothing compared to their period pains so they were actually a little annoyed about how dramatic everyone around them was acting.
Some women have an extremely painful condition called endometriosis that makes their cramps feel very similar to the contractions that women have while giving birth. So no, most women’s cramps aren’t as bad as childbirth, but some are just as bad or even worse. Especially when you factor in that childbirth is typically over in a few hours or day, and period paid last up to several days, combined with the fact that instead of a cute little bundle of joy you get a constant stream of blood and clots, I think it’s safe to say than in some cases period pain can be worse than childbirth.
@@mits3737 You’re talking about an extreme circumstance, not the norm.
@@JC-zj9vz at the end of the day, giving birth is something that the body is designed to do by evolution. Being electrocuted, not so much…
@@MikeHicks-q3d oh yeah, no, you're right. Its just by electrocuting certain muscles, it can mimic Labor or period pains. It does so by basically encouraging those muscles to contract and release in ways that they usually only do during labor or pregnancy
You need to go full 10 on that dial! That’s what mine were like!
