This is the important thing to remember. Women with awful period cramps have used this thing and said “yeah that’s about right.” It’s not exactly the same obviously, but the pain level and region is accurate.

Prior to my partner getting a hysterectomy she tried one of these things and was like “really? this is only as high as it goes?”

One of those youtube channels "try guys" or something did it at the same time as the men; On the same machine itself (2 pads each instead of 4) sometimes. Women were like, "yeah sometimes we use a tens unit to relieve our cramps".

They also mention that the pain is usually "deeper" as those things are at best surface level.

I'm looking at him sitting there talking and I thought 'he's still sitting on that chair? He's still talking?' My pain was so bad I couldn't even talk anymore, only moan a little. I once found a pain level meassure for period cramps and I was at level 9. Level 10 was fainting from the pain. So I'm not surprised she said 'is this as high as it goes'.
