That bit made me remember how I knew my partner was a keeper. I only had to tell him once "I was on my period today and I've had my game face on all day for work." He got it. He never once, not ever, asked me "Are you on the rag?" It was always "Are you okay?" and if I told him I was on my period, that was that. Such a simple thing.

@merriemisfit8406 11 дней назад

I really hate for people to be in pain, so I'll tell you what REALLY helped me. I don't know how I figured it out, but it was more than a dozen years into this monthly disruption routine. Beginning about two weeks after one period ended, I started avoiding any salty snacks and high-sodium processed foods, and really doing my best to stay away from added salt. This was in addition to already not putting salt on my meals or in most of my cooking. If I stuck to this salt restriction, there was NO cramping. NONE. In fact, ALL of the symptoms were reduced to such minimal levels that I had to be very careful to make sure the bleeding part didn't sneak up and catch me unprepared. After I discovered this road to blessed relief, if I messed up and ate some potato chips or Kraft dinner during "moratorium week", I'd resign myself to probably having to face some bloating and aches and cramps and maybe even worse, and determine that it should teach me to be more careful the next month.

I soooo appreciate that you all did this for a whole workday, and not just a few minutes. You all rock! I have a rather high tolerance for pain, I had endometriosis, and it would slay me for at least 2-3 days each month until I had surgery. I had to work, raise my young kids, do housework, run errands, grocery shop, and all other usual chores and responsibilities. There was no empathy or sympathy for what I was going through, except from my OBGYN and a few friends who also had endometriosis. I hope this will enable you all to be wonderfully supportive partners for your ladies.

@isabellp.5730 3 месяца назад

Man, the fact that you were able to get help gives me so much hope. I'm in the consecutive 8th year of trying to convince my female doctor that debilitating aching in my hips and legs and feeling like someone is digging red-hot spoons into my uterus every month even when I take 4 ibuprofen a day is probably endo and not just "sorry, Isabell, that sounds hard". The lack of empathy and viable diagnostic tools beyond surgery which I can't afford (I'm still in college) even if I got diagnosed is just astounding.

@inestabilidad 18 дней назад

This is what I was thinking! Most channels only make a comparison boys vs girls, some go a bit further and do some little challenges on them like do the laundry or go buy something at the convenience store, but they actually tried it and experienced it the whole day! Makes me happy the fact that they actually tried to get the pain part as realistic as possible- with the, of course, biological difference that makes it impossible in our time and era

@selenazhou7640 15 дней назад

@@inestabilidad yes! Sometimes this trend is actually a little annoying because it’s only for a few minutes and guys think it’s just a funny thing and everyone is just exaggerating for views or something. Doing it for the whole day is not only closer to the real thing but also shuts that conversation down because there’s no way they’re “on” for the camera for the whole workday. I love that the doctor and producers included other aspects that get left out of other videos, like period constipation/butt cramps because going to the bathroom is theee worst. Plus the experience of going about your day and having to pretend like everything is fine or else have men look at you like you’re crazy. If I had one note, they could’ve added the laundry element too - e.g. Zach not only having to deal with his leak, but having to get the stain out later after it’s set in! Not to mention sweating through all your clothes and cleaning stained sheets while exhausted! Idk if this is less common for people who don’t use cups, but leaks happen all the time in the middle of the night - you can either deal with it in the morning when the stains have dried and take more effort to get out or disrupt your entire night by being proactive enough to at 3am change your sheets and leave the stain to soak so you have an easier time in the morning. I think they could’ve gone a step further and done it for a second day - I understand why they wouldn’t, I think we already get the point as viewers and another day of filming and the effort/resources entailed may not make sense from a production standpoint, but more so for these guys to reach an even deeper understanding - lmao sorry sorry not to be a sadist but for accuracy’s sake. Anyway, I just got an IUD for the first time, fingers crossed all of this becomes more manageable!

It’s also important to remember that people who have periods are often dismissed when they talk about what the cramps feel like and how much they hurt. They brought up the job interview example. You can’t tell a potential employer that you can’t do the interview because of bad cramps because generally you will be perceived as being weak and less desirable as an employee because you’re not doing the interview when it’s ‘just cramps’. Basically your choices are to a) do the interview anyway, despite being in pain, b) tell the interviewer about the cramps and hope they’re sympathetic, or c) lie about why you can’t make it in

Jepp. I had BAD cramps every month since I got my period on my twelvth birthday till sometime when I was thirteen and began on the pill (to deal with it, not as a contraceptive). I have vivid memories of lying on the snow on my way home from school, only getting up because the painkillers were at home. Lying on the grass in front of the train station, throwing up, because I only had paracetamol and not ibuprofen which is the only thing that works for me. Throwing up right before a concert which I didn't go to because of the pains. Waking up in the middle of the night and sneaking out of the room so I wouldn't disturb my sister. Cramps from thighs to stomach during car-ride. Having to stop in the middle of a 60min massage (I was the therapist) because I was sweating and unable to concentrate - sent patient home and texted all my other patients for the day, then lay on the floor of my work-room, throwing up, waiting for it to pass so I could drive home and sleep off the exhaustion. Hurray for hormones!

They come and go whenever they want (including doing "cycles" back to to back"), bleeding is more than just a crime scene- it's the goriest of slasher movies, the pain is debilitating and exhausting and nauseating to the point that there are many times where I literally can't get out of bed except when it's time to camp out in the bathroom.

It's good to see that they included the realistic setting of having to spend a regular day of normal activity during cramps of varying intensity. Mild cramps, Average cramps, Bad cramps... Rachel wearing the TENS unit set to the same intensity, calmly commented, "Yeah, kind of like that, but actual cramp pain is more internal. This is just surface pain." One of the guys said, in response to the pain, "OMG, I'm sweating!" I nodded enthusiastically while watching the reactions, "Yup! Sweating, throwing up... Been there." And then came another caption... Boss Level! 😬 Um. Yeah... Boss Level cramps have sent me to puke-ville too many times. (Until, that is, i went on the Pill. So Much Less Intensity of Pain and Volume of Clots.) "Bad cramps" had all three guys practically writhing in pain, and then they were asked to take it up to Boss Level for a short time. They had control of the TENS units and initially hesitated, but eventually took themselves to Boss Level. 😳 Well done, Guys. This pain and discomfort lasts a day and a half every month for many teen and adult women, and the shedding/bleeding continues for yet a few more days after the cramping subsides. Heating pads do help a lot, as the guys found out, but then you're tethered in place and don't want to walk away from the warm comfort. Reality hit them pretty hard in this experience. They acknowledged that a day of abdominal pain would interfere with their ability to get through an otherwise normal day, and they'd probably get easily irritated as well. A welcome sight: Seeing them Reach for a Large Container of Ice Cream! If you ask me, ice cream soothes misery almost as much as a heating pad! 😅 Knowledge is power. Perhaps the junior/high school health class curriculum would benefit from adding TENS units and "a Rachel for comparison" to the teachers' resources.

@Pip8448 5 месяцев назад

This was a nice experiment and educational video. Usually when there's a video saying "try period cramps" it's for a few seconds or minutes. So showing a whole day of just dealing with it was really nice! Like how the level 4 was quite painful for the guys and level 5 had them squirming and making faces, but half way through the day both of those were tolerable while they worked as long as it didn't get worse. Very accurate. Thank you Try Guys for all the insight to the little things your experienced throughout the day and enduring the pain!

@CoopMaLoop_Official 10 месяцев назад

Rachel admitting she’s doing the simulator while ON her period is a great comparison to the guys.

@miriam8376 10 месяцев назад

The craziest part is that they’re allowed to express what’s going on. People with periods are essentially socially disincentivized to acknowledge period pain (or any kind of pain), so we’re taught to stay quiet. Like, if enough people mock you for admitting you’re having period pain, you stop doing it. So the fact that they feel so free to complain (especially in the workplace) is possibly the only unrealistic part of this. There’s a whole added layer of stress that comes with also expending effort to hide it.

I had a friend in college who didn’t understand until he literally watched me crumble over time one day when we were volunteering and I started my period. Over the course of an hour, I went from being totally normal to doing Lamaze breathing and crouching on the floor.

@MidnightSonnet 3 месяца назад

Man, these videos are so immensely satisfying. My period cramps used to be so damn bad as a teen. Sometimes I'd have to skip class, go to the nurses office, and remain in the fetal position on a bed till my mom brought me acetaminophen or ibuprofen. I was later diagnosed with cystic fibroids on my ovaries and endometriosis. I was put on birth control for a very long time, which helped, but not enough. After getting off bc in my late twenties, my periods have been fairly consistent and always only 3 days. They used to last for 5-7 days when i was a teen. My mother was... sympathetic on good days and cruel on most days. She was very helpful when i first got my period. She even prepared me long before it even happened. However, as time went on, she got fed up with how much i complained about the intense pain i experienced every month. She was one of the people who told me to "suck it up" and just take pain killers. Midol was great sometimes. At one point, mom bought me a TENS machine to help with cramps and other muscle related pain. It made it worse, but maybe i was doing it wrong. Anyway, i think all men should be required to do this once they turn 18. It would help men feel more sympathetic and compassionate towards people who get periods. I love how they kept asking if they could turn it off whenever they needed to do something, like use the bathroom. I'm all, "Nope. It never just "shuts off" for us, so you have to deal with it literally all day." 😅😭 For me, the worst pain is the first day of shedding. After that, it lessens.

@dicitalore605 Месяц назад

As someone who needed a hysterectomy due to PCOS (along with other complications) I can say that my cramps were probably at the highest level possible. And yes I had to suck it up and continue with life. I wish I had known at the time that the amount of blood loss I experienced wasn't normal.aybe I could have had another child. Doctors really downplay the complaints that we have about our periods.

@DMMegsie 10 месяцев назад

I’m sad that we couldn’t replicate the horror of being in your period and then that scared feeling of coughing, sneezing, or laughing and wondering if you accidentally leaked off the pad. The idea of possibly having clothes ruined because of your period too… Also like… I do love their reaction to Rachel saying she was experiencing a 5 when she was chaperoning Zach high on shrooms at universal

Also, waking up with too much or a clot and trying to waddle to the bathroom instead of it coming out and overflowing.

@chesneymigl4538 Месяц назад

I love watching videos like this. The surprise guys express just cracks me up. Society generally treats women as though they exaggerate pain, and then the guys try the tens and still think, "There's no way someone could feel this all day and still function". When I was younger my cramps would be so bad I couldn't breath and would just sit on the floor rocking back and forth. I had a friend laughing at me because I was having a normal sounding conversation on the phone. The worse part is that women are told from day one that they aren't really allowed to show pain. Like being stoic is some kind of pain Olympics. So it's both worse than men think, and yet any expression of pain is discouraged. I'd love these guys to have this experience and have a competition on who could fake not feeling pain. Edit: No way, the syncing thing is totally real, not just confirmation bias. In college my roommate went from having very irregular periods to syncing with mine. Also... the study in the video is fifty years old. We know now that humans do have more chemical communication than we were originally aware of. Servers and exotic dancers not on birth control get bigger tips when they are ovulating. There are studies where shirts worn to work out in are ranked by their odor. Studies also show variations on vocal tone and weight distribution during women's cycles that are usually unnoticeable but still unconsciously picked up. Of course, there is so little research done into women's health I'm not surprised. When Viagra was discovered to affect erections due to the effect on blood pressure, there was funding for men, but funding requested for studies in women was rejected. The one or two that were performed showed it has a great effect on period pain, but how many people know to ask for an off label prescription? I remember when the full extent of the clitoris was "re-discovered" about 10 years ago.
