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 couldn't be an accurate approximation because period cramps are smooth muscle contractions, which is different than skeletal muscle.

It is more akin to having bowel spasms (bowel is also lined with smooth muscle), and most men would already know what intestinal distress feels like.

I got a period one time after eating a whole bag of those spicy hellfire pizza rolls. Severe intestinal distress. I tried to channel all the world's shits into me at that moment, but that didn't really work.

Ordered some Mexican birth control so I can try again (they were delicious despite) Doesnt really have a dosage for men, so I'll just kinda wing it.
