Irish People Try A Period Pain Simulator! That's right, we got a TENS machine and used it to simulate the discomfort levels of period cramps. Let's see what happens as our Irish women and men try a period pain simulator - we have a feeling that our male TRYers might struggle with this one.

I went through high school in the early nineties on codeine. Don’t remember it. Except I know I vomited a fair bit. When I was at university in the nineties I would regularly pass out while lying down. I even passed out in the bath once. Full of blood of course. I’m nearly fifty now. Never been able to have kids so it was all a waste of time anyway. Can’t wait for it to be over. Definitely a design flaw this body.

All while bleeding, bloating, headache, spine ache, legs ache, clothes don't fit, trying to keep emotions in check, worrying about spotting through our clothing, and we have to do it with a smile, because if we let anything out, some guy asks 'what's wrong, are you on the rag or something?'

[@angelicalicari8355]

It's not just because of vocal misogyny, it's because the world isn't set up to give up the time we need to deal with it. I've done an 8 hour retail shift at what I assume is a level 12-15 based on this video, because I didn't have paid time off and needed the money. Genuinely, if men had to deal with periods, developed countries would have already normalized days off, and there would be no stigma around mentioning that you were on your period and needed a break.

The same side effects they've been giving us for decades. Fine for us, I guess, but we can't have men possibly getting blood clots.

Ciara is so realistic, usually with period pains you dont tell anyone or show that you're feeling pain unless you're with someone you completely trust and feel comfortable with.

[@TheSheGoz]

Exactly! In the every day world, women walk around with that kind of pain, function normally, and do everything in their power to avoid giving off any sign of distress, because of the period jokes, or the judgement they'd get from male peers and contemporaries.

[@mellowyellow5865]

One time since I’m so so used to ignoring them that when I felt this horrible pain that somewhat resembled a bad cramp I ignored it. I thought it was my period… until I realized I wasn’t on my period, and it hadn’t started, and the pain was only getting worse. Only in that moment did I mention it to my mom and she suggested we see a doctor just in case. And if it was period pains I should get on birth control. I went to the doctor only for them to send me to the ER… yeah…. I had an ovarian cyst that ruptured and had bleed internally :)

Yeah occasionally have strong dew cramps to feel like somethings trying to stab it's way out from the inside. So when I felt that, I just rode it out for a few days, but after about 4 days of not being able to sleep or eat, I went to the ER. Turns out it wasn't cramp but Gull Stones.

[@evansphenomenal]

My sister never showed me or our parents any signs that she might be having period cramps, so either she isn't completely comfortable with us, or perhaps her cramps just aren't too severe 😅. Some even claim to never experienced period cramps during periods.

"It's like someone has reached a fist up through my penis and is kneading my insides like dough." As a woman, this is the most apt description for period pain I have ever heard... this is how I will be explaining it from now on 🤣

[@rosey_ie]

@@SilverFang95 It’s also boyfriend, but they don’t get called “boys” too often, do they? Referring to grown women as “girls” is an infantilising term that feeds a patriarchal ideal of women being less able, less mature, less independent than “men”. For your own sake, when referring to women you don’t know, call them women. If you want to refer to your female friends as girls and they’re all ok down with that, then knock yourself out. But grown ass women on the internet discussing periods and all they entail, are women, not girls.

[@RMTH2009]

When I gave birth to my third child (without pain meds) he was born before the doc got there because I thought I had a ways to go. Ended up tearing my cervix…yes CERVIX.

For a week. With the flow varying. Oh, and the "sometimes have it be wet," but with RED, so taht it shows through the clothes. Oh, and don't forget The Glops. You gotta have The Glops at least one day out of that week. My sister once showed me a Glop that was the size of an egg. Mine, fortunately, have never been THAT big. My sister's periods were so bad that she was anemic. After YEARS of asking for help, she finally got a uterine ablation (since she's a widow in her fifties, they decided it was FINALLY OK to stop her fertility), and it was like a switch. NO pain, no mess, no hormones, no falling to the floor crying over absolutely nothing, and then crying harder over the fact that she lost control and sobbed over NOTHING. I was very fortunate. I didn't even get cramps above, say, a 3, until I went to college. Then, one day of every month, I HATED EVERY SINGLE MAN IN THE WORLD.

As someone who suffered immense pain for years due to Endo/fibroids/cysts, before finally getting actual help from a doctor... thank you for showcasing the struggles we face. Ordinary period pains can be really painful, but 7 days a month of a level 20 constant pain is debilitating. I had to get FMLA off from work because I got so tired of trying to sit at my desk pretending everything was fine, when I was being repeatedly stabbed by hot fire pokers from the inside. So I think it's common for ladies to get up to a level 15 on their periods... but anything 15-20 for long periods of time, please go to a gynecologist. Something is likely wrong. And don't listen to doctors who try to deter you from surgery because you are too young, and may still wants kids. Biitch no, I want to live my life pain free. I switched to a better doctor, got the endo tissue/cysts/fibroids removed, as well as a hysterectomy. 2 years later and I am still so glad I made that decision. If I want to be a mom, I'll adopt. At least now I can actually enjoy my pain free life for once. The amount of pain women are used to hiding from others while on their periods is wild.

I feel your pain, truly. Had fibroids/endo/cysts on my uterus, ovaries and tubes. Ten pounds of cysts/scar tissue removed, along with everything but one ovary. It was awful and painful and I bled through so many clothes/sheets/towels. I couldn’t sleep over at anyone’s house for fear it would come early and I’d wake up in a crime scene. I was on prescription painkillers just to function and everyone told me it was normal/okay/just muscle through. I finally had to have the hysterectomy because the cysts were spreading. They were roughly the size of a turkey and no one would help me until it was too late because I wasn’t married and didn’t have kids. The fact that bearing children is more important than my health and my life? I was losing blood to the point where I was always anemic, taking iron supplements just to be able to function. My comfort was nil. The constant embarrassment of bleeding through my clothes, using three or four super absorbent pads at a time. But all of that was secondary to my destiny as an incubator. It’s awful that women have to endure such embarrassing, debilitating conditions in silence because they aren’t women unless they make babies.

I recently saw a physical therapist and she found out that a car accident in my teens twisted my pelvis out of place and the surrounding muscles were compensating for it. Started doing treatments for it and my cramps went from a 7 out of 10 to a 4 and that has made a huge difference in my life. It took 20 years for someone to diagnose and treat my cramps because nobody believed me.

My doctor finally began to believe the level of pain I have daily when I was in less pain in childbirth than my usual pain levels. Made it even worse when she found out my periods are more debilitating for me than childbirth was... She about half takes me seriously... I walked in with a broken leg twice because "eh it's not that bad.." People underestimate how much pain women can go through and still continue to try to live a normal life...

I started my period the first week of 6th grade at school. So miserable and embarrassing because you feel like every one can see or knows it. I would have awful cramps that would double me over in pain but I still had to go to school every day. PE was the worst when I was on my period, every thing hurt but you still had to do the bear crawls, jump the hurdles, etc. and I always had the diarrhea with mine so it made me not want to eat because eating made the diarrhea worse. And my cramps and bleeding would go a full 7 days, it was a week of misery that was worse than the flu each month. I prayed just to get through the school day without any of the boys finding out because otherwise they would taunt you and make fun of you all day. So you just had to endure the pain, slap a smile on your face, act like you were fine as best as you could, and slap a new pad on with an added layer of toilet paper on top just to get you through each class period and then go to the bathroom to change every thing out between each class so you didn’t bleed through. My period cramps were like someone stuck a knife in my abdomen and was just raking it back and forth across it and twisting it at the same time. I so looked forward to menopause but then menopause brings its own issues like night sweats, hot flashes, dry skin, sagging skin, brain fog, tiredness and weight gain that’s hard to lose. But with all that being said, I’m glad I’m a woman and I have a good husband and 2 wonderful children. Constant Period pain prepare us for labor/child birth pain and makes us able to endure and persevere through much pain and be able to still function and run after our children, take care of our homes and be there for our husbands as well.

He finally got used to my pain levels and would just start cranking it up high right away.

[@dianaquick8883]

I had adenomyosis, which resulted in me having a period for 18 months straight until they finally did a hysterectomy at my insistence. It makes me wonder how high I could tell them what my average cramps were like because I was about ready to do the surgery myself with whiskey, a sharp knife, and an ice cream shop after a year and a half of non-stop pain.

[@jek4837]

@@dianaquick8883 Wow. Yeah, prolonged pain and misery will absolutely push the limits of what you will do. I had suffered for 4 months of crippling back pain due to a herniated disc in my back. I was in pain 24/7 and my sleep was screwed. Near the beginning I could occasionally find these super odd positions using pillows, laying over furniture a certain way, or whatever else where I could reduce the pain a little bit. I have a bigger oversized chair in the living room, and I got myself into this weird u-shaped, slightly twisted position that REALLY reduced the pain. I slept soundly for almost 2 amazing hours when I woke up really needing to pee. I told myself, I'm going to close my eyes and try to fall back asleep. If the urination sensation kept me awake, then I was just going to pee all over myself and the chair. Being able to sleep soundly was worth that much to me at that point. I got back to sleep, woke up over an hour later, and then finally moved to the bathroom. Edit: I forgot to include that back surgery completely fixed the herniated disc.

All I'd have to do is say, "I'm on my period," and he'd turn doting and ask if he should go get Mom while I lie down.

Hilarious! Thanks for the laughs, guys! I had endometriosis severely, and when I had my hysterectomy (at age 28) it took the doctors 4 hours to cut all my organs apart and put them where they should have been (internal bleeding causes scar tissue and knits the organs together). Before surgery, my doctor made me sign a document saying I would not hurt my family or him, because I was so young and was going to be going through instant menopause. He also had me see a psychiatrist to make sure the pain wasn't all in my head. Trust me, once he opened me up, he agreed it was the best thing to do. I was past the 20 mark. I actually had a TENS unit and occasionally used it on my stomach to relieve the cramps, or rather distract me from them. Kind of like when you slam your finger in a door to take your mind off a headache. You can only focus on one thing at a time. I turned it up to 40, which was full blast. Trust me, men, they can be agony. Especially when trying to raise a family and go about daily life. Thanks again for the laughs!

But I got a spiral in and within a few months, 80% of the pain and bleeding was gone. No more setting the alarm for 4 hours so I could change, no more waking up in the middle of the night because the painkillers wore up. No more feeling like shit trying to take focus of the pain with anything, before you give up and take painkillers. The painkiller never removed the pain, but it made it less.

But, regardless of where we all fall on this spectrum, we’re all so strong to deal with what nature’s burdened us with - the men’s reactions prove it. ❤ This video was my gateway into the Try channel and I think the fact that I keep rewatching it and its new video sibling speaks for itself.
