artificial insemination kit for humans
It can be challenging to convey the intensity of period pain and cramping to a male partner or friend. With the notorious “Man Cold” phenomenon, it’s hard to imagine how individuals without uteruses cope with the monthly discomfort that can feel as severe as a heart attack. But now, there’s a way to demonstrate this discomfort clearly: the period pain simulator.
A company that specializes in period relief products, somedays, created a device that uses electrical impulses to replicate the contractions felt during menstruation or early labor. To showcase this, they took the simulator to the Calgary Stampede, a massive rodeo event, to see how tough cowboys would fare against the experience of menstrual cramps. The results were both entertaining and eye-opening, racking up millions of views on TikTok.
One man exclaimed, “How can you function like this!?” after only a slight increase in intensity. Lux Perry, CEO and co-founder of the company, explained their goal: “We wanted to break down the social barriers surrounding discussions about periods.” They aimed to create a light-hearted way for men to understand the struggles women face each month.
Women also tried the simulator for comparison, and one woman calmly reported, “This actually feels legit,” as she cranked it up to a level 10. In videos where couples participated together, the empathy grew visibly as men experienced the same sensations as their partners. “I’m going to go to a Level 7 for her,” one man said before grimacing in pain.
Perry noted the overwhelming response from viewers, with countless women expressing their validation and relief at being understood, while many men admitted, “I had no idea.” The initiative has sparked meaningful conversations, shifting the narrative from “period pain isn’t that bad” to “period pain isn’t normal, and those who experience it deserve support.”
As one comment humorously suggested, perhaps trying the simulator should become a requirement for all men.
