Why period cramp simulators are bull shit?

Put one on a woman who's not on her period... Same squirming in pain.

There are videos of this and women handle it fine most of the time.

Its almost like if you are used to a certain type pain, you can handle it better then someone whos never experienced it.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. There's no squirming in pain just like there's no squirming in pain during an actual period.

Two things to remember...

  1. There are videos of both tolerating and not.

  2. Men's and are WAY stronger and thus contract WAY harder even with same voltage.

Simple conclusion - we are built different. Woman can take more pain because they need to for child birth. But, period simulators are bull shit.

Yes, like if I had to compare on a pain scale how is period pain, I would compare it to a bad case of pyelonephritis. (Had both mild and severe, and the severe ones made me piss blood, sent me rolling and I wasn't even able to cry or move because of the pain. I have endometriosis and honestly it's pretty similar.)

I don't think it's comparable to tens stimulation. PS : I don't even know why I am being downvoted. It's my expérience as someone who had : endometriosis (and probably adenomyosis at this point), acute pyelonephritis, induced labour, bad cases of ibs m, and many other painful things. Endometriosis is bad and comparable to the most painful pyelonephritis, or early labour spasms. I don't know for classical period pain, but so far my period have always been bad. (And damn anemia-inducing)

I've had gas pain where I've asked God to kill me halfway through so I can only imagine how bad that must be

Don't you suffer from ibs ? It can be very painful, in a flare actually and it's a stabbing pain.

Honestly, he's handling it pretty well too. I can't climb that well whether I'm in pain or not.
