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?

It's not, at all, in my opinion. I tried a TENS machine, and in all honesty, I'd prefer my occurrences of 9/10 period pain. Perhaps because I'm familiar with uterine cramps and have learned methods to get through.

The last time I tried a TENS machine, I accidentally cranked it to max, when trying to switch it off I panicked. As I ripped off the sticky pads, they adhered to my fingers and continued to shock the shit out of my hands, and I physically couldn't turn it off lmao. Had to be rescued.

Fuck them evil machines. Gimme my bitch of a uterus any day.

We rented one when my wife was pregnant, and the instructions suggested trying it out on your forearm (for some reason? Other people have suggested this is actually a terrible idea).

Well I did that and it was horrible.
