Men Experience Menstrual Cramps: The Hilarious Experiment You Didn’t Know You Needed!

In a hilarious and revealing TikTok video, a group of men decided to experience what menstrual cramps feel like using a period simulator. Spoiler alert: they were not ready for the shock of it! Equipped with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) machines, the men quickly learned that the pain was no laughing matter as they squirmed and laughed nervously while a woman using the same device breezed through the experience like a pro. It’s hard not to chuckle a bit when they realize how different the experience of menstruation can be.

As the video gained traction, viewers chimed in with their own experiences and thoughts about societal attitudes toward period pain. Some comments humorously suggested that if men had to deal with cramps, abortion clinics would be on every corner! This brings up a good point about understanding the ongoing struggles of those who menstruate. It’s great to see men stepping into the shoes—or, in this case, the cramps—of women, even if just for laughs.

It would be fascinating to see how society might change if everyone felt just a little bit of that discomfort. Should period simulators be mandatory in sex education classes? After all, understanding someone else’s experience could lead to more compassion and support, and maybe even change the way we discuss menstrual health. It’s certainly a thought worth pondering—what do you think?
