Canadian company Somedays aims to break down the stigma surrounding menstrual cramps by putting men’s tolerance for suffering to the test with a period-pain simulator.

The simulator contracts the muscles to imitate abdominal cramps, similar to what many experience during menstruation while still going about their daily activities. Perry says, while period pain is experienced worldwide, it is often minimized or ignored, despite its debilitating impact.

Those with endometriosis are also often forgotten, Perry says, as many who are diagnosed with this disease that affects the uterus can experience chronic pain that is often mistaken for period pain. According to the, in their lifetime 1 in 10 women and girls, as well as an unmeasured numbers of transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse individuals, will be diagnosed with endometriosis.

On the period pain simulator, a level of 10 and higher approaches the typical level of endometriosis pain, while level 5 simulates average period pain.

Let’s get a simulator for this!

Why? 🙄

I was lucky enough to work with some good guys so when I hit the ground because of the pain they just waited for me and helped me up when I was ready to stand again. At the worst I was lucky enough to experience it every 3 weeks for 7 days. It ended up being 16 weeks a year.

Women, no need to prove anything to me on this one. I will respect it for what you tell me its like.. Your word is good enough

I’ve been injured a lot and a period sounds like a walk in the park. My ribs have been broke three times, anyone that’s done that knows pain.

Just when you think you’ve reached the threshold of ridiculousness something like this comes along and blows the lid off it.

I'll pass. Just as I don't expect or demand others feel any of the pain I suffer/have suffered, I don't see the need to endure what they suffer to be empathetic towards them. I'm sure most normal people feel the same way.

Insert horrific yet hilarious joke NOW

Wtf

Conservatives about to be triggered

Ridiculous.

Is this the same setup they use for the “kicked in the gonads” syndrome? I suspect there are some parallels there
