Period Pain Simulator Gets Tested on Cowboys & Raises Awareness 

That's something I could relate

Yurp... we just have to "deal with it". 😞 When I was a child/pre teen I would be so angry that I was born a Girl 😂 ... to have to live most of my life in pain, at least once a month for however long my cycle was. Now I think, well we can tolerate all kinds of pain and symptoms in our bodies from our cycles. We are prepared. It's kind of a extra skill to have, pain tolerance. Still frigging SUCKS though.

Yup we don’t and it sucks

What was the video? I wanna watch it

Just the other day I told a guy about how bad my period pain is. He told he couldn't live that way, and I pointed out that I don't have a choice. It's either live this way or die, so I have to just push through. (I have endo btw)

@@sargentchef8092 Seriously?? I've always seen the opposite. Nobody I know questions the intensity of a solid ball tap, and he can take a much time as he needs to recover. Most women I know are fully expected to go about their normal day, without complaining, without being grumpy, like nothing is happening.

@@sargentchef8092 lol I get that you're just trolling, but it's still worth pointing out to everyone else that that "ounce [sic] a month" can go on continuously for about a week. The pain of the majority of crotch-kicks, while severe in its own right, generally passes within twenty-four hours.

Yea they were way too nice to them

@@sargentchef8092 Let's be clear... one week out of every month, possibly from age 8 - 55. That's a huge chunk of life. Also, how many women do you know that go around announcing they're on their period?? We typically keep that to ourselves, regardless of the pain we're in. Lastly, not sure how YOU got triggered, there, partner, I was agreeing that being nailed in the balls seems awful. Sooo... have a nice day?? 😆

@@sargentchef8092 Lord, no it isn't. Read the medical studies. Being kicked in the nuts isn't fun and it definitely isn't funny but some period pain tracks on to cancer level pain. The menz whining about their nuts are just full of pathetic "whataboutisms" and it is a tired argument.

The average man is weaker than a 12 year old girl..... Wow.... I feel kinda incompetent now.

Fun fact from a female, they don't always last a week. They can be less then a week with the symptoms continuing the entire week, and they can be more then a week and progressively get worse till it just goes "poof!" and it isn't there any more, then start up a few days later with the pain and no period. Pain associated with periods isn't just in the period week either, it could be most of the month with that pain for some.

⁠​⁠@@str8apem88 men have higher pain tolerance than women, and it’s a proven fact, this literally makes no sense

@@str8apem88Kinda late but what is kinda weird that y’all aren’t really talking about strength y’all are talking about having to experience it for years if a woman got a swift kick in the balls then she wouldn’t be able to handle it but if a man got kicked in the balls for a few years every month the yea he wild probably have a lot more endurance

​@@str8apem88women are stronger in endurance than men Women biologically have more endurance capacity

@@eeyore345 I had this exact same experience in my high school religion class, I also had undiagnosed PCOS and I'd never know when I'd get my period so I was lucky if I even had a tampon on hand lmao

And trying to sneak out sideways, a sweater around you waist, to check in the bathroom. It is really problematic that the blood is so taboo, because it makes it so much harder to deal with. If people would treat it taboo-less and with a slightly heroic tinge like dressing a wound, it would be so much more fair and a lot easier.

The only times I outwardly react is if a mood swing has me completely off balance and I can't keep it completely together. Otherwise I'm just focused on getting through the day and not letting it get to me.

@@faffywhosmilesatdeath5953 Exactly 💯

That's not an option for me. I have endometriosis, and my husband doesn't care. Some months, it feels like a badger is trying to burrow out of my lower body and no pain medicine works, even if I can keep it down and I'm alone. So. I can't keep going.

Gasp! Wouldn’t this be an amazing teaching tool? Women already change tires, work on cars, clean garages, mow lawns, weeding, everything men do but pee standing up. All while this is going on. 🙄🙄🙄 Gimme a real challenge.

​@@JeepGurlAZ Women can buy those devices to allow them to pee standing up. I've even met some who have practiced so much, they don't even need the device (I work in the field). So women even do that too

@@restrictedmilk Cuz that’s not ridiculous at all. My comment stands.

@@JeepGurlAZ I don't see how it's ridiculous. Why so judgemental? It's just a fact that some women find it convenient to pee standing up and women are, in fact, able to do it.

I might disagree on this. It is like saying people should wear blindfolds because they need to know the pain the blind people have to endure. Also, not all boys treat girls' periods badly.

@@jeanrodriguez2078 agreed but it should only be implemented on insensitive dudes

@yama yag abble yabba balle do ☆ Exactly women dont need any special attention if they are so strong and equal and tough

@@RustyShackleford776 Trolling, or . . ?

To be fair, many women fought for the ability to enter the workforce and be treated equally. I shouldn’t be treated differently just because I’m a woman is how I’ve always felt about myself. It’s like 2 sides to the same coin.

@@jollyrancherchick But why should the norm be structured around the assumption that you don't suffer period pain. It's not 2 sides of the same coin. Being treated equally does not mean being treated the same. It means the norm should not be built solely around the male experience. Treating everyone equally should not equate to treating everyone like fully abled men. That's still essentially putting everybody else at a disadvantage.

Yeah but fortunately we have things like ibuprofen... so it's not like we're just completely stuck suffering through the pain all day

@@xXxChiefxXx well then how will women compete with fully abled men in workforce? In labour market you are not a man or woman, you are a resource if you won't have productivity then why should employer hire you?

@@kristenc8967 It depends on how well it works for you. Ibuprofen has side effects that can follow you forever if you need to take it often.

Firstly, I care about menstrual pain. And hope one day in the future women get healthcare products free, and get weeks off work and school to recover. Secondly, why are you applauding these men? You should be laughing and rubbing it in their faces.

I had to go to 3 different doctors to get an hysterectomy. I feel your pain.

@@str8apem88 I’d say it’s because they don’t feel spite, or anything. I’ve learned that some people who are in pain merely want others to believe them. They want their pain to be understood. So if a group of males volunteer to learn what this particular pain feels like, then that’s a good thing.

@@str8apem88 Because they cared enough to try, so they might understand better?

@@p.f132 Exactly!

I want to see how women with painless periods react to this. Will they take it to 10 without feeling anything, or will they react like the men?

@@str8apem88 Yeah. I imagine I'd have a very rough time if I was hooked up to this machine.

​@@unnamed217i think so too. I dont bravely live through pain. I rarely go beyond very mild discomfort. Definely nothing comparable to common cold or fever or migraine etc.

You're lucky. My period pain can get insane.

I've had friends who didn't have much in the way of pain. However they often had bad menopause symptoms.

She's been in that fire. Worse fires. This is nothing. 😭

Probably feels worse for men since they never had/never will have to deal with periods

It's probably a comparative cake walk just to feel the cramps (knowing you can turn them off at any time) without any of the other host of symptoms on top of it.

Then there are the Trans people who say oh I want to have a period it must be so fun...yeah I think they should mandatory try that simulator out beforehand.

Must have been really worse... A FELLOW HEAVY, PAINFUL, AND LONG PERIOD GIRL! *yay* :(

She's a badass.

its more that she is both used to the pain and that women have a higher pain tolerance

@@devon1485 yeah

@@devon1485 I mean if you just watch woman’s football you can see they start crying and go down easier

Because women are stronger than men. (I'm a man btw.)

Please don't be sexist. Even if it is kinda true that women are tougher than us, I guess.

@@str8apem88 How is this sexist? She literally has a medical condition (which is more common than you think) that gives her severe pain and she is simply stating her experience and how she wants more awareness. HOW is it sexist to say that these men who are already reacting so strongly to a regular period would probably feel much worse pain if they had a simulator for a medical condition that makes it much worse? That's literally a fact.

@@irenerosewell5944 Well, if there was a biological pain men experienced, or something men was better at overall than women, and if men said women couldn't handle it, would that be misogynistic? Yes it would. So women shouldn't be allowed too say men can't handle certain things either. Fair is fair afterall for equality.

I had stage four endo and I would be throwing up with my pain. Bedridden. It was horrible! Being a woman is so hard, it’s unbelievable.

@@str8apem88 Actually no cause that’s something that only men would have. If men had a pain to deal with every month and women didn’t, we couldn’t say that it’s nothing cause we never had it before just like you men can’t say that we’re weak cause we think periods are painful. Everyone has pain and no one can judge that if they never had it.

Yes! I was impressed! Also it is good for him (and all women) to know that his pain tolerance is super high. So if he gets some twinges of pain to his heart, he may be having a heart attack. The same that more women die for heart attacks as the pain level in them is the same than if you had periods cramps. Women do not even recognize it as pain...same as this one cowboy.

​@@SatumainenOlento yeah, I've heard of multiple women that had appendicitis and didn't realize they needed to go to the hospital at first because they literally thought it was just their upcoming period

That’s awesome!!!!

That is amazing! I was wondering if a lot of the men would end up thinking “There is no way this is what it’s really like.” I’m so glad you ladies showed them otherwise!

I really think that's why men don't handle being sick as well as women. We're used to feeling sick and in pain at least a few days a month. That along with the added emotions.

Not only that but your bowels stop moving and you feel like your on edge all the time.

Oh gosh yes I get a migraine almost every cycle and it's way worse than my cramps but yes. I love my boyfriend but men are sooooo dramatic about pain and illness compared to women.

You won't feel anything. You're a woman, this pain is nothing to you.

@@str8apem88 nah period cramps hurt like a b!iych !!!

Me too. I'm interested as well. 😲😊

It's only a tens machine Get one off amazon.

Yeah me too

Hours? A lot of women with endo or adeno have this 24/7

Yep. I remember it hurt so bad I was curled up in bed, threw up then passed out from the pain. And this was on medication AND a heating pad. Birth control really helped even things out.

@@Sarah-re7cg I've only fainted twice. The first time was on my first ever period, I was so stressed I just collapsed into my bed and woke up a few minutes later to my ears beeping and my whole body covered in cold sweat. I went to school right after drying me up a little. Nice introduction 😂. The second time was years after, I was alone at home and couldn't figure out if I had to go on the toilet, puke or lay down to ease the feeling 😭 when walking back to the couch I fell head first onto it and lost all body strength. I was laying on my stomach in sweat for an hour or so until I fell asleep. After that the pain was tolerable enough that I could lay back around 😅 atleast... Periods are wild, I'm considering birth control if I'm honest..

I used to throw up and have diarrhea at the same time. Sometimes I spent the entire 1st day of my period on the toilet until I eventually passed out on it. I'm on birth control now and I'm so glad that I am. Turns out that I have lots of ovarian cysts on both sides. The thing is, I always knew something wasn't right but no one believed me. My mom always thought I was just being dramatic but I knew that couldn't be what normal cramps were like.

That's a mood, I debated moving to an implant, but I don't what those things back if it doesn't have the same affect 😂

Idk that one woman didnt even seem phased when they went up to 10 Also apparently they have a childbirth pain simulator EDIT: I meant this as a joke

There are multiple studies that show women's pain is all too often not taken seriously. From my experience (and my body *really* hates me, so I spend an unfortunately large amount of time in medical facilities), if a woman actually makes an appointment to tell a doctor that she's in pain, it means the pain is severe enough that she's willing to be ignored, treated like a toddler, and outright mocked, just to get some relief. 😔

@@fdfischer Dear Fellipe, If from the age of (on average) 10yrs, every 3-4 weeks, for 40ish years, you were subjected to pain (along with all the other symptoms), you would find your tolerance has grown. That's not to say that you no longer feel the pain. A boxer for example is stiil going to feel every punch, just not gonna get KO'd in the first round. Then there are the women for whom it just gets worse and worse and worse 😢. We women🦾

@@fdfischer Well not everyone has the same pain tolerance, like I’m lucky enough to have mild cramps to the point that I don’t feel any pain. I definitely know if I had that thing up to ten on me I probably be agonizing in pain. Edit: fixing my grammar

Men have babies! What are you talking about?

I feel you, migraines are torture :(

Same!!

Yep, worst part 😢

I really wonder if intestinal cramps could be as bad as that, I do not get periods but when I was younger, I used to have very bad intestinal cramps, I could not even walk, anyway, I kinda got used to handling a lot of pain, being punched, slapped or kicked do not hurt me as much as it did when I was younger for some reason, I once heard that lack of sensation could happen because of depression, for which I also have some emotional numbness.

@@ws6778 but why were you getting punched, slapped, hit? Also if you suffer from depression now, you most likely have complex PTSD from childhood trauma (basically being mistreated as a child mentally, emotionally and/or physically). Neglect and emotional neglect can also have this effect. I highly recommend seeking therapy. And very best to you. 😊🙏🏼

@@ws6778 Of course people probably could have worse intestinal cramps than me. But I have IBS and I have had periods (thankfully my contraception stops them for me nowadays). For me intestinal cramps are pretty bad, but period cramps were worse. The pain is different to be honest, it's a sharper, but lower level pain for intestinal cramps (for me, of course, I absolutely believe you if you had them worse, we're all different after all). But period cramps feel more painful, but that pain is less sharp, more of a feeling of your insides being torn apart versus cut apart (IBS pain), if that makes sense. And periods come with other kinds of pains too, you get backaches, breast aches, the worst for me after the abdominal period cramps was thigh pain, the weight of 1 leg on top of the other was too much and would make the pain much worse, but then you want to be in the foetal position to relieve the pain at least a little bit, which requires being on the side and having legs like that. Also there's less likelihood of making a mess on the bed if you lay on your side vs on your back so as someone with heavy periods I did my best to remain on my sides. And I'd have to put pillows between my thighs to alleviate it at least somewhat. I've cried, just laying there curled up and crying, doing breathing that people do during labour. I've not passed out or puked from pain, but I've been very close to passing out. It's impossible to concentrate on anything when you're like that. But you still have work, school, other commitments and lots of people do not understand. Another thing about period pain is that it comes in waves, but those waves are long. At least for me. A cramp would start and then pain would just be there for an hour or until the painkillers finally kick in. And not all painkillers would kick in. And not every time. Finding c0-codamol when I moved to UK from Eastern Europe was like finding Holy Grail. I couldn't believe there was medication I could get in a pharmacy that would ACTUALLY help with pain, and only in half an hour. It made such a difference. But you're still experiencing the discomfort. Which is another part of it all. There isn't just pain. even when the pain isn't there there's still a feeling of discomfort. Both sleeping and activities are very difficult because you just feel like a pile of garbage.

Tells you who the strongest are! 💪

@@ws6778 yes, intestinal cramps can be as bad as period pain! I had very bad/difficult period pains when I was younger (to the point I couldn’t walk and would have to try to get home once they started because I was that incapacitated). As an adult I have certain food intolerances now (not sure what exactly but pops up a lot with dairy, sugar, and bread) and before I figured out which foods to avoid I would have the worst intestinal cramps after eating. They were so powerful they would wake me from sleep and prevent me from getting any rest. Absolutely awful and make me want to weep. Having experienced both, the pain of both is awful BUT period pain comes with so many other unpleasant symptoms I would choose intestinal cramps over periods any day.

Sounds like you need better painkillers and an IUD. My IUD pretty much deleted periods from my life. Life changing!

@@MyDuckSaysFucc The unfortunate thing is atm, I am unable to get an IUD. I’ve been working on it, or at least getting birth control to ease the pain, and seeing if maybe I have PMDD or a severe issue with my lady organs. They’ve been this way since really the moment they started, so I’ve kind of just managed to use my own system to manage.

Highly recommend getting checked for endometriosis. Ask/demand for an ultrasound to check for ovarian cysts. After years of trying a handful of gynos (men and women) FINALLY a doctor took me seriously. Found out I had a cyst and now we're working through a couple different methods to see if it will prevent the pain from paralysing me each month. Likely will get surgery to remove the cyst and I want to have her take out the ovary to prevent regrowth. Even if you don't have a cyst, endometriosis can still cause uterine tissue to grow on any organ in your body, including your brain!!! But this goes undetected unless you ask for exploratory laparoscopic surgery. Advocate for yourself! Research the doctor before you go to see what patients say!! Take your life back!! Edit: if you are on birth control with estrogen, and especially if you have searing migraines that lasted for weeks like mine did, talk to a doctor ASAP to switch to progestin-only bc. I was informed last week that I would have had a stroke if I remained on bc containing estrogen since they caused migraines. Love the convos and support everyone is sharing. Don't be afraid to speak up!

Mine were also horrific from the minute they started. I tried over 45 different pain medications, not a single one worked. I had to go on continuous birth control to stop having periods altogether, though sometimes it would cause me to have periods for months at a time. After 10 years of Depo, it failed completely, and my period pain came back (without a period) worse than ever, which I didn't think was possible. I had to have a total hysterectomy and oophorectomy. Turns out there was absolutely nothing medically wrong with my organs. Sometimes you just get the shittiest end of the stick. Menopause is fantastic though.

@@olispinoli THIS! I had endo for years and was just gaslighted by the male drs--try this ibuprofen, try this birth control pill, what, it made you vomit, try this birth control pill. I called a dr in Atlanta (I live in SC) who specializes in endo and was told they could get me in the office in 4 months and I told them I would be dead. The dr came on the phone and I cried, told him my experiences and in 3 weeks I had no uterus, my endo stickies were all cleaned out and I was able to start my own business and work happily after 18 years of BS. You have to pursue your own healthcare in the US. The drs are trained to disregard women's health issues and pain. Be a bully for yourself if you have to. F pain. F pain right up its butt.

I used to have 8 day heavy flow periods and the only time I couldn't go to school was if my autoimmune conditions flared and I couldn't walk. As the years have passed my periods have gotten shorter but the pain has increased to debilitating. I have to change my diet two weeks out of the month and heat and curl up in bed. Some time ago NSAIDS stopped working. I've dealt with chronic pain since childhood...this is worse.

Ask around and find a good specialist who listens! I was 19 when I finally found out that I had endometriosis. Huge blood clots and tissue. Curled up in a ball. Screamed if anyone touched me. Passed out a few times too. Please get help so you don't suffer for years like I did!

You might have varicous veins. I did. After two babies I had enough and had a hysterectomy.

Mood swings are so annoying Dx and don't even get me started on the bowel movement issues, ugh

@@Myrathosghost anyone that watches the movie sees that it is not about periods, but it brings up the subject which is taboo for young girls to even think about cause they think it's not normal, it's awesome that the movie touches on the subject

@@Myrathosghost it absolutely is about generational trauma -- but the people deeming it "inappropriate" aren't getting past the periods bit.

@@junohypot no. Turning red is marketed to a bunch of 5 to 7 year olds. I dont think they should be talking about periods at that age. Plus the movie threw in a assumed pedophile scean where the mom assumed her daughter was being touched inappropriate. And the daughter ended up being embarrassed. This teaches kids not to tell their parents anything about periods or when touched inappropriately because they will be embarrassed.

@@Myrathosghost eh, Encanto was about generational trauma but I think Turning Red was more about independence and the strict cultural grasp parents have on their Asian children. The creator and director said that the idea of the movie was based on her own life because her mom wouldn't let her even go to concerts. I personally know a lot of Asian children (mostly female) who have way overly protective and restricting parents. This can be classified as generational trauma to some extent but not really. In encanto abuela faced a traumatic event which made her hold too tight but in turning red there isn't really any traumatic events but they do focus on the family power dynamic and how the children are expected to be the "perfect obedient child".

You know those old twats would just say that the simulator is over-dramatising and then the other would lie about being able to do everything they could regardless of the pain.

Vomiting on your period isn't normal?

OMG yes! How are you fighting the weight gain??

Most people are not really degrading them - people are more talking about how men assume women are just being hysterical (since hysterical actually means something like "uterus-ical", it is actually true, only it ought to mean "bravely taking the pain in stride").

I have a lot of respect for them willingly putting themself through pain to better understand what their loved ones go through. I thought it was very sweet of them. Now, if someone tried to gaslight a woman for her period pain and then did the simulator, I would definitely tease them a little for not being so strong after all.

it is a childbirth simulator, not a period pain simulator. lmfao

@@granolaman4410 I saw you on another comment. You've clearly never had a period before, or given birth.

You just wanted to laugh at them and call them babies, admit it.

Definitely! A lot of men these days won't care and say we're being overdramatic and emotional. Those men are awesome.

@@str8apem88 Why not both?

@@L16htW4rr10r I knew it. Go ahead, have your little revenge.

@@str8apem88 Respect and laugh. Cause like some people said, pain is hilarious.

YES FR

I'm almost positive that some women's pain goes above the 10 setting, especially those with endometriosis. Thankfully mine aren't absolutely debilitating most of the time though I've had a few. But I can completely understand another woman's pain being way worse than mine is. I have high pain tolerance from chronic back and knee issues and fibromyalgia so my scale may be skewed a bit. But my highest pain I've ever felt because of back and nerve pain may very well be what other women experience from periods. Living in pain my whole life has made me hyper aware and sympathetic to others pain and I try and help the best I can when I can. Anything to ease it. I've never understood how women can scoff at another for their crippling cramps, they must have very mild cramps...

Watchu gonna do about it heh 😀

@@h.s.6269 Obviously. There are at least one woman here in the comments who have tried the machine and said it was a child's play compared to her real periods.

That won't do anything for those girls. Women are naturally tougher than us guys. So this probably wouldn't do anything to them, and might make their apathy worse.

I've seen some pretty brutal periods. Those women and girls definitely needed more than a walk it off. I've known a few women who absolutely had to go on birth control to function enough to stay in bed

Oh yes. If you work in that field you should KNOW your clients!!! 👍🏼 I agree with you!

Yes! I once had a doctor put my symptoms down as "mild cramps" after I'd just explained how I'd passed out in the middle of town and had to call an ambulance because I couldn't even get up off the ground from the pain lol .. honestly it's unreal the gaslighting that women deal with from so called professionals

@@crazylittlepartytifs 🥺😲

male? In my experience male doctors take your pain much more seriously than the female ones. I do not have problems with periods but I have very sensitive cervix and my female doctor asked me if I am kidding when I told her that her examination hurts. Never had that problem with male doctor. (There are four doctors at my clinic and I choose them by available time, so I have experience with all of them)

Also PMDD, which is known to make people suicidal from how bad the cramps are ! (Like 80% I believe??)

In my experience the whole "not taking pain seriously" thing seems to be for anyone, I constantly get told to "tough it out" when moving really heavy things (keep in mind I'm a guy but I'm also quite weak compared to a lot of other men) even though I can barely feel my hands anymore

Don't all women have higher pain tolerance than men though?

My mother had the exact same experience with doctors when she had a herniated disk. She spent months (maybe even years, not sure) being ignored and bullied by doctors. When she finally got someone to do adequate testing, and eventually surgery, she learned through her surgeon that she had a chronic water retention disorder, which she had tested positive for more than A DECADE earlier but her primary care doctor had never informed her. For more than ten years she suffered with extreme exhaustion, massive migraines, sodium deficiencies, and bloating because no one bothered to tell her she had a disease. She lost years of her life from that. I will never not be angry. Edit: I kind of got off topic lol, but seriously, healthcare for women is seriously lacking.

@@Ava-jq5ll Is this USA thing?

@@str8apem88 Isnt that all the more reason to take it more seriously when women feel pain?

Same. It was so bad I took so much ibuprofen I almost got an ulcer. Thankfully I have managed the pain better as an adult but sheesh some days are still ROUGH

Yeah, I remember lying down in a field in tears and just absolute agony on my period because I didn't have my pain meds with me. Another time my period hit when I had the flu and I tried to take my pain meds but vomited them up so I had to experience the full deal pain and I recall it feeling so bad that I thought to myself if someone handed me a gun I'd just shoot myself. I was lying on the floor shuddering in the fetal position but I remember I was too embarrassed to make noise because I had roommates and I didn't want them to think I was a wuss or a weirdo so I just lay there in silent agony. It's kinda weird to reflect on

@@m.freeman9708 omg that happened to me once but I had gotten food poisoning and couldn't keep ANYTHING down. Worst pain I've ever been in, it was like my stomach and my uterus were having a competition on who could wreck me the hardest

@@m.freeman9708 I'm so sorry, that sounds so awful 😥 so glad you're still here ❤️

@@kittymeowmeow7881 same here!! My 16th birthday dinner. Drove home with food poisoning and then wham: blood and vomit. Luckily after I got the bad food out of my system I was able to sneak in some dissolve-on-your-tongue type pain meds that helped a bit. Needless to say, it made for a memorable night 😬

I remember several occasions of throwing up because of cramps.

Correct, now imagine telling a doctor that and that you don't bleed at all when you should during those painful moments and being denied the most basic health care... Gets frustrating lol.

@@samanthahughes5590 It still baffles me that tampons and pads aren't a medical necessity, really digs into the wallet when companies 'pink tax' everything that's "made" for women, just so they can line their pockets.

Its just that battle of the sexes thing that will never stop for some reason. Men and women alike cant handle that both sides go through some bad stuff when actually every single person is so different that none of us experience anything the same.

Well, if we’re being generous, a lot of men are “hands-on” types, meaning they don’t really understand when someone tells them something; they have to see/do it for themselves to really grasp the concept. In that sense, I don’t think this is sad. I think it’s useful.

@@Iluvpie6 thats generalizing all guys lmao, ive met guys not like that.

@@sleepycowboy18 it is a generalization, but also notice that I said “a lot” of guys and not “all” guys. I’ve met a ton of guys who are like that, though, so I still think it’s helpful.

@@sleepycowboy18 Maybe re-read their comment?

Fr!

As a tattoo artist it’s commonly known women handle pain WAY better than most men, not surprised we have naturally higher pain thresholds 🤷‍♀️

I feel every women that has kicked a guy in the balls or laughed at it, should experience the same thing. Well, more so I wonder how many women would volunteer to give it a go. Pain is not fun for anyone. And btw, there ARE worse pains than child-birth that both men & women can experience... just sayin. Though truly, women have my sympathy for their biological pains... like seriously that really sucks.

@@GumBeatingTV Maybe the stereotype comes from people being squeamish? I have friends who can deal with pain but the thought of a needle or cramp (as in vid above) would send them running. Just a thought.

@@tdgransit9091 while you are right, someone cutting our legs would hurt us, it doesnt happen usually for a lifetime. Women goes thru this every month, and give birth usually atleast once in their lives. So i think we have to give them the points in pain tolerance and experiencing the most biologic pain stuff 🤷‍♂️

I wish you luck and happiness.

Now that's a story with a twist 🤣 I bet even your doctor didn't see that coming!

they should look into that and come up with a surgery option for painful periods... but I'm glad you're doing well 👍😁

@@hikarychan3997 That's exactly what I was thinking. Empathy for the oc. But it sounds like a potential godsend treatment for a lot of women.

“Thankfully, I got bowel cancer,” really summarizes the whole period pain experience. I’m so glad you’re doing well!

it is not a choice to menstraute. What does trust got to do with this.

No, don't blindly trust anyone

@@demonizedhuman941 Lol. Blindly? If women say their period cramps cause pain then they probably cause pain.

👌🏼 👏🏽 & Over 60! We need more of you💯

@@bibaolaitan5189 I think he meant trust women when they are saying things like periods can be really excruciating and it's hard to properly function while being on one and unfortunately sometimes people want to tell women what they are feeling is wrong and dramatic and it's frustrating when you feel like people think they have the right to tell you what's going on with your own body to many male docters and teachers and parents tell women and girls that were being dramatic and need to calm down and I mean obviously you still need to be a somewhat functional human being during that time but I literally wouldn't be able to go to work and get through the day without taking about three or four pain killers throughout the day and doing that once a month for week is really damaging to the liver but I literally wouldn't be able to do what I need to get done everyday being in that type of constant pain

Cutting off the tip of your finger was more painful than a heart attack level of pain that you have to endure seven days every month? I call bull on that.

@@str8apem88 I said I would take cutting off the tip of my finger over period pain, as in it was LESS painful. Please learn to read.

@@itstruckmeeveryday Sorry, not getting enough sleep dampens my reading ability. But I'm still curious if childbirth is the only thing more painful than menstruation, apparently it's the only thing that's worse than it.

Has anyone ever checked to see if you have endometriosis? Your description sounds a lot like where I was headed. My family has a history of endometriosis, so I was extremely lucky to be diagnosed at 16. So many people go through years of agony because people with a uterus are not taken seriously when it comes to pain (really, there are actually studies about it). You shouldn't have to endure what you've been put through. Sending gentle hugs and hopes that you have found or will find a doctor who doesn't give up until you agree on the right treatment for you. 💙

And, honestly, the bleeding. Yeah, when it's happened every month for over a decade you're kind of used to it, but you also never get used to it bc in any other situation blood coming from your insides out is a bad thing. All it took me was one extra heavy day here and there to be like "jeeesus that's a lot of blood coming out of me!" and be freaked out again. Edit: I would also ask a doctor about premenstrual dysphoric disorder. I've been on birth control shots to manage mine and it was rough at the beginning but I feel so much more functional and in control of myself now

I was also going to suggest maybe getting checked as an adult for endometriosis, or something that can cause similar issues like PCOS (poly cystic ovary syndrome). What you describe is not normal. I hd endometriosis treatment at 21. It also runs in my family. Cramps are normal, but nausea, vomiting and the fetal position is not. No doctor should say that.

@@Listening_Books12345 Because my doctors didn't warn me from the beginning, I've been trying to give a head's up to other women so that they can talk to their doctors about the potential side effect of bone loss with Depo. I was on the Depo Provera shot for five years. Apparently, it was only recommended for three years for me--which wasn't helpful finding out two years too late. I suffered bone loss. Since osteoporosis runs in my family, along with endometriosis and other diseases requiring steroids (which also contribute to bone loss), I switched to a different kind of birth control. I hope that you have more informative doctors than I did at the time, and you already knew about this potential side effect. I'd rather send an unnecessary comment than not bother and leave someone else unaware 💙 Edit to add: My stepmother had PMDD. She found that sugar substitutes (especially aspartame) made the mood swings worse, for some reason. 🤷‍♀️ She went into early menopause years before the "natural" substitutes, like stevia, came out, so I have no idea if those would have affected her.

Men have cramps ALL the time Transphobe!

This is great to hear!!!! As a women I wish more guys would be like that. It's so refreshing to see someone, especially a guy, being normal with that topic too. ☺️👏🏻✨

@@florentinenice9146 as I said, it just empathy. Unfortunately the culture now is "alpha males" or whatever BS "influencers" have come up with to target maladjusted men. Until guys break that weird thought process of trying to be an "alpha", all that will happen is that compassion and empathy will become taboo feelings for men. We're a joke sometimes 😐

My brother is the same, even had no issue going to the shop for an emergency supply of pads and didn't care who knew it. I'd say men who know and love us aren't the problem. What is a problem is when health professionals minimise it to the point it takes on average 8 years for a woman to get a dx of endometriosis which is characterised as painful heavy periods and yet we are still ignored and told its normal. Some women never get a dx because they believe it is normal to faint, throw up and roll around the floor in pain. I know I did and what made it worse actually was older women telling me I was a wimp.

Yeah I agree to an extent. I know whenever my brother ever got hit on the balls, I'd gently sit him down. I don't know what it feels like, but seeing him agonize was enough for me.

@@toni6053 oh shoot! I get really bad periods. I didn't even know a diagnosis existed!

I'm sorry that you women have to suffer so much pain in your lives. But on the upside, how are you guys so tanky? I've heard periods are as bad as heart attacks, and you guys have to live with that pain for decades? What is the secret to the powers you guys possess?

Funny, when mine are bad I pull my legs up toward fetal position (even when sitting upright), and it was extra bad this time, so in addition to the uterus my thigh muscles hurt now. 😂

@@autumnatic - Same. I gotta curl up in the fetal position. I think it depends on where the cramps are concentrated. I get them in my lower abdomen, pubis/uterus, and lower back area. Since 2 out of those 3 are in the front of my body, I focus on relieving the spasms by curling myself into a ball. But every so often when my back gets over-exhausted from all the spasms, then I'll straighten out and slowly curve my body backward to squeeze my back muscles. Once I get one good squeeze, I'll curl fwd again. Thankfully, I only get the really bad cramps the first 2 days of my period.

I always wanted to do a "period yoga" calendar showing all the ridiculous poses I've struck trying to relieve pain. Sometimes the best is draping myself face down over a footstool placed under my midriff and bending my legs at the knee so my feet were straight up in the air.

Totally get it, I would lay flat on my stomach though because it felt better

I go fetal. And I can't lay on my back when I've got my period. My pads _will_ leak and stain my mattress. Again. I've trained myself to always sleep on my side as a result - a lot less accidents from that.

He did well though. He could still smile on setting ten.

The second time was right after: I was in the campus, killing time with a friend awaiting for dinner, but my blood pressure started to drop real kick, my vision blurred and I could just see little sparks in the dark, I felt my mouth drying and couldn't even lift my head up. I told Laura to go ahead since she hadn't lunched earlier and then I gathered the (inexistent) strenght I had left and decided to go to the nearest bathroom and sit there, but almost passed out while walking. When I got to the cabin, I sat on the toilet with not just pain, but intestinal discomfort wich I was not used to. So I thought that pooping might relief a bit, but besides constantly blacking out from the pain, I just couldn't release the mud for the whole hour(s?) I sat there and I really tried. When the pain decreased, I went to the library, lied on the puffs and slept like an athlete after a marathon.

I think you need better friends

@@mariag.8242 it's ok, it was 5 years ago

I am so sorry you went through this alone, it’s terrifying!!! We need to talk about our experiences more, there is no need to feel ashamed, embarrassed, or like no one cares that you are suffering.

@@samanthaball5980 thank you very much. That was actually the first time I had period pain and till that day I just couldn't understand girls that said they couldn't get out of bed. So I thought it could only be my body overreacting over a small pain and that's why I got embarassed. Like, would they really send a vehicle for just a period pain? And since so many women suffered with that, it could only be a minor thing, you know? Anyways, I'm actually considering contraceptives to reduce the pain.

Oh yeah but I jate the leg pain just as much bc it often kinda blocks my knees and I cant stand up anymore or my knees buckle

YES

Having periods with scoliosis only amplifies the fun 🤩

I refer to it as the pain squid. I hate the pain squid

The guy who couldn't stop moving his legs, ooohhh that took me back! My periods don't bother me much now (two c-sections may have deadened some nerves, idk), but I remember being younger and sitting through class or at work and the cramps were so bad I couldn't keep my legs still. Moving them to try to ease pain was almost involuntary.

It does??😮😮😮

@@str8apem88 You seem like you're in the market for one of these.

Mine too!! Sweetest thing ever, right!?

Guys who do not dare buy hygiene products are not grown-ups and nobody should sleep with them. Whatever their ID says, they're too young for that.

@@cnj67 My son bought mine for the first time when he was 12 years because I became chronically ill. I raised him with periods being notmalized, and openly discussed, from when he was 2 years and noticing for the first time. I used words he understood. (i.e. Nest made of thin straws with red liquid/ blood inside. Egg as tiny as a pin head. Like chicken eggs that don't have chick's inside, so no baby growing inside me, as he did, so the nest is breaking down and leaking out. He would say 'no baby!' . ) Even if I did shut him out of rooms to hide it (which created fear for me as a child) , my child had to be in public toilet stalls with me at that age. I also had a body anatomy flip book in the mix of books. He could see pictures of eggs, uteruses, and the fertilising sperm to make a baby. I am not quite sure what he understood about the fertilization part at that age! But you never know, so I explained anyway! By the time he was shopping for me he was more interested in the most cost effective option, and bought me two packs. He said it was an interesting psychology experiment with how people responded to him carrying and buying sanitary pads. Unfortunately, a lot of scowling, but he just thought they were being weird about something natural. He is a young man now with his first girlfriend, whom he is treating very well. Yes, I am a proud mother! :-) My point, other than to brag about my son, is to say that normalizing menstruation when children are growing up, and providing vocabulary and open discussion, makes it less of big deal when older.

@@daniellamcgee4251 I'm sad to hear you are chronically ill. But nice that you have a smart and kind son!

@@daniellamcgee4251 What a lovely son you have. I hope he and his girlfriend have a happy and successful relationship.

ikr i am a guy and im curious at how much pain does periods produce

YES!! I CANT WAIT. here in Asia, we got a lot of misogyny. please come!!!

@@greenforce68 Yep! especially those old people who is still stuck in the 1900 mindset and infecting younger generation.

@@greenforce68 huh no misandrists? Ok

@@boredom4475 OMG YES!! there's a lot of people like that in all over Asia. we need this.

I had the same....let me offer you some advice....those same hormones that help will also cause weight gain. Be sure your doctor is monitoring and helping you keep your ideal weight. The weight gain was massive...even though they only told me "you may experience some weight gain." Also it gets harder to loose weight as you approach 50, so be proactive. Glad everything is finally being handled! Cheers!

i dont think we need to go that far.... its feels like we want they to pity us for being a woman.... if they understand we have a hard time when we get period its enough for me i have hypertyroid and my period is the worst, its often make me cant move at all, all day.... but still just do what we can, as much as we can in period day👍👍👍

If you feel like men have to experience this, how about kick in the nuts simulator mandatory for women? 🤣

@@spugelo359 Unless you get absolutely nailed, then nut shots aren’t too bad. It’s just like a punch to the stomach where you have to sit down for a couple minutes to recover, and it doesn’t happen often

@@spugelo359 if you're getting kicked in the nuts for a solid week every month, that sounds like a you problem that you might want to resolve on your own. Unless that's like... just your... thing...

@@Sentient_Blob It is not even remotely like punch in the stomach. I know because I've experienced both multiple times. Kick in the nuts can easily paralyze due the pain, but for punch to stomach is completely different reason and doesn't really hurt either. When air gets forced out of your lungs, it doesn't really hurt. It doesn't even take all that strong of a punch, it only needs to land at right spot. All it does is feels really uncomfortable not having any air in the lungs and not being able to breath either. In that situation, it is not pain what paralyses you, but the lack of oxygen. When you are basically suffocating, best option is to not move at all to conserve the little you still have. But the good thing is that you get to breath again long before problems start.

YES!!! And the worst part is that periods can occasionally come unexpectedly and at terrible times! My most recent one was an entire 2 weeks early and I was going to a pool party 🥲 I luckily caught it before I bled through though, but I had to scavenge for a pair of swim shorts 😅

@@alyssashoemaker3414 Oh gosh, that is terrible! But I hear you. Sometimes my periods come early and sometimes they come later than I expected. Sometimes they last longer than I expect them to, and sometimes they are shorter. I swear, each month things are a bit different than the last. 😂 The only consistent thing is that I have to buy a lot of panty liners, and different sized pads. I can't sleep on my periods unless every single inch of my underwear is covered by pads or liners to catch the blood, even all the way up to the elastic. SUPER glad you caught it when you did, that would have sucked to have to deal with it you hadn't caught it. 👏

@@Sakachi18 you could possibly have adenomyosis if you able to get checked out. Also it’s cheaper and works better if you can get adult diaper for night sleeping. Many women have this problem even using tampons at night so need that plus a diaper. The diaper is better than having to clean all the staining though!

@@laurieleannie Oh that is such a good idea!!! I've never thought about that. My periods have been like this since I was a teen and first got them, but my mother always had really heavy periods and the doctors always told her she was fine, so I never thought anything of it and just assumed I was fine too. You're probably right though, I should probably see a doctor just in case. Thanks for the idea and the heads up!👍

this would be great- have them cough or pretend sneeze and whoops! suddenly liquid!

Are..are you Talking about my Life every fuckn month ?!🥺😅 i h a t e ittt!!

Bestie, i'm no doctor but i feel like this shouldnt be seen as normal. As a fellow menstruating woman who has made an appointment with her doc next month i advise you to at least see if there are no underlying issues causing these symptoms.

I could relate to diarrhea, back pain and bloating But luv I would be alarmed about vomiting and fainting Please consider checking with your doctor, and take care

Fainting is a sign to go to your doctor. Not just in the context of your period. Fainting is never a normal reaction, and should always be checked by a physician. This could put you in a very dangerous situation, so I'd really suggest going to your doctor.

@@transsnack Some women do experience fainting spells during their periods. In many cases, hormonal changes in the body during your period may be part of the reason. These can lead to lower blood pressure, less blood volume, lower blood sugar, anemia, and a more sensitive vagal response. All of these can lead to fainting.
