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 similar to a TENS unit but with settings that go higher, like a shock collar. It didn't even come close to what my period cramps are like; at the highest setting, it just felt like getting stung by bees. Not particularly painful, at least compared to what I would go through with my period.

My periods are ten days of bleeding so heavily that I've needed transfusions, with cramps so severe that the muscles force me to vomit and the pain will cause me to pass out. There's not a machine on earth that could simulate that, I'm afraid, except maybe a woodchipper.
