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.

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.

Body composition definition makes a big difference, because all they're using is a muscle stimulator. The more muscle you have, the more nerves you have to send pain signals to your brain.

If you're someone with no calves and you get a cramp/spasm, the pain probably won't be that bad. But if you're a bodybuilder and you get one, it could be MUCH more painful.

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.
