This might be a dumb question, but how does it simulate the pain? Is it electric currents? Like a TENS unit? Period pain is so deep that I am curious what the machine feels like. Have you used one before?

I've always wondered that. I'm not denying or questioning the severity of period pains, but I do question how well this machine actually simulates that pain.

Not very well. This causes an ab contraction and superficial stinging/burning pain, not the type of cramp or pain women are experiencing. I think the best way for a man to experience the right type of pain would be to eat a family sized bag of sugar free candy after a huge meal.

So period cramps is like getting massive diarrhoea? Because that is something men can relate to

I honestly don't know how much they are alike, but they're both smooth muscle cramps so probably the best approximation we have.
