True the very first period is seriously painful you be close to crying though overtime your use To it and it’s more of a cramping sensation than then it is pain,but every girls different.

When I worked retail I just went in like this lol. Walking it off kiiiinda helps?? Not really lol. One time I was working either Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve, I can’t remember. It was the closing shift and my period suddenly came on early and much worse than usual. Since my sis also worked at the same place and was off that day, I called to see if she could fill in just for the next few hours until closing. We even had family over that neither of us liked much, so I figured she’d want to get away anyway. No one else was available. Nope. She just let me suffer for hours dying at work. Even my coworkers pitied me. I have since forgiven her, but I have NOT forgotten.

[@ernstnaumann6318]

@KeitieKalopsia What does dying mean if you're alive years later? Did that afternoon of working in severe pain probably shorten your lifespan by hours, days or even months or years? So your coworkers noticed you were in severe pain. How did they notice. Were you unable to smile it away towards them? Did you choose not to smile it away towards them? Were you able to advise a few customers to their satisfaction? Did any customers notice you were in severe pain?

[@adysonterepashi3001]

I was told my whole period experience was normal (I started at nine, which should have been hint number one) Later on, about age 11 (10 at earliest), I had periods anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks long, along with extra high pain, which is most likely off the scale. We almost went to hospitals for it because I physically couldn’t move. Went on the pill to even it out when i was, like, twelve, but by the time I was thirteen, almost fourteen in January, I had to go off to regulate my body. Two days in, I was feeling what would be a twenty on the simulator. Day three, twenty five/six. Day four, about forty, and refusing to eat unless it was my comfort food, which I was allergic to. There started eating issues ❤️❤️

I am 49, soon 50, and just past couple of years I have been getting really heavy and painful periods. Before that it has been walk in the park. But I just never understood how some people belittle how others feel their pain. We are not the same and we don't feel things the same.

[@KeitieKalopsia]

I am the only woman in my family who has period cramps or any symptoms at all, really. I must have gotten it from my dad. My sister and aunt sympathize and understand and support me, but my mom thinks that I have them because I must be living a bad lifestyle (bad sleep schedule, bad diet, not enough exercise, bad breathing????) and that if I fixed all of that, I’d have no pain and no symptoms. I was not allowed painkillers until my late teens when my complaining finally wore them down and my dad got them for me. It’s truly incredible that my whole family has no period pain. I’m a bit of a masochist, though, so a little pain doesn’t bother as long as I have Midol at hand when I’ve put up with enough of it. It only works like 50% of the time, though.

Having suffered with endometriosis my whole life, getting a hysterectomy was one of the best decisions I ever made. I was in the ER nearly every month going into shock and nearly losing consciousness from the pain. Doctors STILL were hesitant to do it even though I have 4 kids, and it took a uterine prolapse to get them to do it. Ladies and gentlemen, please don't ever downplay the pain your woman is feeling. It should never be that bad, but it is, and it's very, very real. Kudos to these dudes willing to subject themselves to a piece of the pain.

[@melindamercier6811]

So sorry to hear that. To be fair, a lot of women don’t fully understand what a hysterectomy does to them hormonally. And It can be really damaging to them psychologically if they are unprepared for the consequences. Because it’s such a life-changing and invasive surgery, doctors will always push back to be sure the patient understands the gravity of it.

Sending you huge, but gentle, hugs. You are *SO FREAKIN' STRONG!* Honestly, I don't know how you managed to get through that kind of pain for such a significant amount of your life. And all while raising four kids! So many people don't understand what it feels like to get the kind of cramps that you had. A friend of mine once described it as having a hot poker jammed up the rectum. That sounded about right to me. I was extraordinarily lucky to only land in the ER once from endometriosis cramps. It blows my mind that you had to live with the awful anticipation of having to go through that kind of agony *every month!* In my case, we knew endometriosis runs in the family, so my mom and her ob/gyn took me seriously. The ob/gyn confirmed the diagnosis surgically, started me on birth control, and gave me meds to help take the edge off the pain when the cramps were at their worst (this was in 1995, when doctors prescribed pain meds to those who needed them). I had a Grade 3 uterine prolapse several years ago. None of my doctors had seen a prolapse in someone so young who had never been pregnant. 😆 We didn't know then that the prolapse was a symptom of the genetic disorder I hadn't yet been diagnosed with. I searched for and found a doctor who would perform a surgery that's used in the UK to repair a prolapse without a hysterectomy or the use of mesh. I would have chosen a hysterectomy if I hadn't gotten acceptable relief from the cramps with my Mirena IUD. Anyway, the only reason I'm explaining any of this is because I have a very faint inkling of the hell you've survived because of my own experiences. I can also imagine how you were treated in the ER during some of those visits. Hospital staff aren't always terribly compassionate to people who have extreme pain. Though I understand why they become jaded, it's still upsetting to be in agony, need help, and to get punished for other people's choices, instead. I'm so happy for you that you'll never have to endure another round of endometriosis cramps, but I'm sorry that it took so long and a significant surgery for you to live without that pain. 💙

I very much disagree with these period and labor simulators. They make mens bodies do things they aren't designed to do. Of course it's going to be excruciating for them. Periods should NOT be excruciating or debilitating. My first bit of advice to everyone who is experiencing excruciating pain or debilitating pain is to first change your diet. See a nutritionist.

I agree, I can’t imagine really bad endometriosis. That pain can vary for each women and you don’t get enough support.

[@catherinehuang3]

I feel like this experience for the people in the video gives the boys a new perspective on how much the girls tolerate, having to, or feeling obligated to act normal, having to hear things like, "this is normal, stop acting weird." I really get mad when the PE teachers force us to run laps, do jumping jacks, or other things like this on the time of the month. And while in this game, you can 'tap out' but in real life if you want to give up, you have to wait 7 (around) days. I still remember my first period, I was in the restroom the whole day, crying my eyes out. I was really unused to it, and at the time I think I remember drinking something cold, so it REALLY hurt... This may come out as offensive, but I really get fired up on these things. Sorry if you feel otherwise! 😅

"It can't be that bad" - Colby's famous last words 🤣 Now imagine having that all day for 4-7 days or even longer every month😭 Edit: 4 months after my comment, I'm writing this edit (more like a novella) because I started tracking my period cramps. About 3-4 days before my period starts, my cramps are usually at their worst. It's not that bad, but I feel like a sharp needle is poking my lower belly every few minutes. When my period starts, the pain isn't unbearable on its own (if I focus on it for like 10 seconds), but the problem is that it DOES NOT stop for at least 5 days. So, while the pain isn't too bad, having it every second of every day makes me want to take my eyes out. Then, on the 6th and 7th day of my period, it's fine. My period has always lasted 7 days, no more, no less. Now, my sister has endometriosis, and I cannot imagine the pain she must be going through. So, as I like to feel like an impostor (sarcasm of course), I just don't talk about my pain and try to live with it, cause that's what everyone else does.

@@KaivalaJenva Can confirm. I have adenomyosis which is like endometriosis on steroids. My cramps start a few days before I even bleed and its constant.

Adenomyosis made me infertile too so. Yep. I've taken hardcore painkillers given to me by the hospital before and they hardly take the edge off. Most girls/women go undiagnosed like I did with thinks like we mentioned, cysts, fibroids or things like pcos for nearly their entire lives and suffer because we always get told that's how its supposed to be and suck it up. It isn't. If you have heavy periods and your cramps are so bad you throw up and have trouble moving around go to the doctor. Do not listen to anyone trying to tell you its normal. Its not. And they can help you. For me it progressed to the point the only option I have left is to have a hysterectomy. I went undiagnosed until I was 25 and was able to see a doctor on my own. And even then it took me seeing 4 different doctors to be taken seriously.

I thought this was hilarious. You guys actually had it easy. All you had to do was sit there, for a few minutes with that type of pain. If you TRULY want to experience what we women experience with menstrual cramps, try that device on 4-7, THEN GO ABOUT YOUR DAY. Drive with it, run errands with it, vacuum the whole house with it, stand there doing dishes. Go to work and DO your work with that thing on all day. Eat your meals, sit quietly and watch tv, or read, or do whatever it is you do. Have a normal conversation that doesn't include the pain you are in. If you normally run, or go to the gym, then do it with that device on. Don't forget to sleep with it on, too! Use that device, non-stop, for AT LEAST 3 days. ONLY THEN will you have an inkling of what we women experience EVERY MONTH. I say an inkling, because you are only dealing a part of the pain. You aren't dealing with the bloating, the discomfort that is separate from the pain. You aren't having to deal with the actual discharge, or the slight nausea that can also accompany that pain. You are also not dealing with the hormonal changes that also come with a menstrual period. You aren't dealing with the headaches that can also come with a menstrual period. These are all things that we women face every month... a lot of times with men making fun of us, thinking our menstrual periods are a joke... making light of them, like it's just an excuse for us to be mean, or get hysterical. I'm not trying to demean you, please don't think that I am.

It can be debilitating for some women, not all of us, and not all the time.

I was in high school, 14, and even though I knew what was happening (after a bit) it scared me witless! I knew what it was, I knew why it was happening, but there were so many things I wasn't told. Like how much it could hurt! The nausea, the headaches, the way my skin and clothes felt tight because of the bloating. How long the pain lasted. But after dealing with it for a few months, I got used to it. That's where our strength lies... we handle it, because we have to, and because we get used to it. Women's strength is the strength to endure. Men's strength is to be proactive. I don't know what kind of work you do, but men have the strength to do jobs that most women couldn't do.

If you want a true depiction.. You need them low tummy, low back and inside thighs so it radiates thru the groin.

I couldn't work while experiencing that amount of pain but almost every manager I had would insist I go to work and would get cross or irritated at me when I tried to explain the amount of pain I was in. I ended up having to lie about the reason I was 'off sick', as I'm sure many women do. This is a great video.

Not a decision I wanted to make, but the best thing I did to improve the quality of my life.

Carol and Colby are like magnets. You’re going to have to keep them apart. Funny vlog!

As a guy I respect women for having to go through this on a regular basis.

Even tho it is regular I hate it so much, it is just hard to be used to it :(((

As a girl you’re taught to act a certain way and how to navigate social situations in public specifically so we handle things differently and mask the pain a lot of the time.

[@joselyngisinger9303]

Haha, this was amusing. My period always has a day or two where the cramps are really bad, so much so that I feel nauseous and also feel like I might puke if I stand up or move for literally only a second. Yet, I’ll still have to go to school, maybe do something else as well, with that looming over me the entire time.

Encouraging toxic masculinity, and reverse sexism, greeaaattt.

[@ardhiutama8426]

It doesn't matter whether boys can handle the pain level or not, but one thing for sure, it happens to all women at level 5/6/7 FOR DAYS.. Imagine how uncomfortable it would be. Props 👏

[@kettle2293]

Everyone is different. So they might not experience strong cramping for more than a few hours or a day or even at all.

[@hajarahkiyingi5022]

Mine is at level 2

[@Truthorfib]

This is actually why its thought women should have menstrual period days off. The main problem with that though is that it makes women less marketable for jobs because that means a few days off every month on top of the already existing SL and VL. It's not equitable I know cause women go through this pain but its a harsh reality.

[@aziraphaleangel-22]

Mine starts as a 7 and then stops after a couple of days

[@redwoob]

Mine varies, but I don’t think it gets really bad, but it’s still annoying and hurts. And it always comes at the wrong times too, like one time I wasn’t going skiing for a week and my period started at the start of the week. It sucked

[@maryjoyspohrer256]

I got news for you young one. As someone who's cramps were so bad that I couldn't stand straight (yet I still went to school, did housework and took care of my little brother) childbirth is a WHOLE new level of pain. These videos are so much fun, and I've got to hand it to the guys who will do this. Next time, get the labor simulator.

[@str8apem88]

You can go ahead and call men weak, I can tell you're dying to. It's understandable though, this video exposed us.

[@str8apem88]

​@nightdwellernerd I just really wish people would be honest and admit part of the goal of these cramp sim vids are to show men that women are more durable than guys. And I understand, year after year of being called the weaker sex would obviously give women the desire for men to eat crow. I'm fine with a little payback (we have it coming really), just quit beating around the bush with it.

[@str8apem88]

@nightdwellernerd And it's understandable like I said, just let it out and let you true feelings show. If you're filled with hate and desire retribution be upfront, I won't judge anymore.

[@sandystuart6299]

Carol was hilarious! She makes every vlog worth watching. Experiment on Carol first because she is tough. Allie and Carol took it like a champ. Noah this is one of the funniest vlogs you made this year. Great vlog Noah!

[@sandystuart6299]

You should have done Carol verses Allie.

[@sandystuart6299]

Glad to see the whole group together. Miss these days!

[@justdancejosie]

The carol test at the beginning was the best! No one has ever done that (that I've seen) to show if it is accurate.

[@bethbastian]

They should have made the two stuck at 10, get up and clean something or cook dinner :)

[@fizzythoughts9855]

why tho that gon be hard

[@katschumacher]

@@fizzythoughts9855 😀.. that’s the point

[@ariaryayy7314]

​@@fizzythoughts9855 exactly. That's what women do. we're in pain almost 24/7. We only have 4-7 good days in a month with unexplained pain. We don't just get cramps during our period. We get little to moderate ones throughout the month depending on where we are in our monthly cycle.

[@Tobias.Sterling]

would love to see a part 2 (if there isn't one already, first video i'm seeing from this channel) where the boys are hooked up to one of these simulators for a number of hours while doing various tasks like working, cleaning, exercising, etc. any reaction to the pain could be a deduction in points, but each successful task is points earned.

[@hyuka_ningningforever]

"Ya'll I am handling this so- aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh" Gets me laughing every time.

[@miranda___]

Everyone’s so amazing for trying this! Major respect & done! 🙌🏻💛

[@sarahjenkins3056]

I use this device for pain relief from endometriosis and PCOS. To be completely accurate, you need to have one machine per person, patches in the front and the back, and then challenges to go about your day, that's what it feels like.

[@apeape06]

I love that you set the standard with the accuracy first and then did the challenge!! Good job!

[@_raeoflight]

I can’t with this! I haven’t laughed at a vlog this much yet. Especially at Colby just straight falling over onto your bed at the start Noah. Everyone’s reactions were priceless, and Allie was for sure the calmest out of everyone the whole time. Go girl! 😂👏🏼💯 Done. ✅

[@Random_Fandom2023]

And then there's that weird feeling that goes along with the cramps like a gas bubble that's not exactly painful, but it's definitely uncomfy.

[@Bayougirl78]

Also the "heavy" feeling, like your lower abdomen suddenly weighs more from the bloating and sensitivity, lol!

[@alycefleuren27]

This vlog was hilarious! 😂😂 I love how Carol and Malik had good poker faces and took it like champs lol love the group content!! Done ✔️

[@ChristinaKye7]

This video is hilarious! Everyone's reactions are so funny, but Colby's has to be the funniest, especially in the beginning of the video. Everyone is a champ!

[@1unbreakablesoul]

Next time you have to do daily activities while using the simulator. Carry a glass of water across the room, stand up sit down, just walking....etc 🙂

[@PrincessHellkat]

These comments are all so accurate about there being more to periods than just the cramps - the nausea, the diarrhea, the mess, the headaches, bloating, hormone changes, etc. the cramps just barely scratch the surface on what it does to your body. Also, one thing I don’t see mentioned often but I think is still very important to remember too: HAVING A PERIOD COSTS MONEY! You are constantly having to buy pads/tampons and they aren’t cheap! You can get toxic shock syndrome if you wear them for too long so you are constantly having to change them. There’s also been a lot of toxic chemicals like lead and arsenic being found in these products. It doesn’t stop at just what your body goes through.

[@TCMillar]

Yesssssss!!!! This is what has been missing from everyones vlog, GROUP CONTENT!!! I've missed this group all together so much, we need more like this please! Great Vlog, I laughed so much!! We need another girls vs guys contest, I think Kcup could have taken Noah down, just saying.

[@junethompson1803]

All your content is so good. But I have a feeling this is going to be one of the most hilarious ones yet. Love you and your family. Such a wholesome family

[@bonejuice225]

the back pain is the worst part to me. it's almost debilitating. I've tried simulators that go up to ten like this and my usual cramps land at a 7 or 8. I wouldn't tap out of work until what I imagine an 11 or 12 would be- but I might still go depending on how much pain medication I take. My periods used to be extremely heavy before I started birth control to help with them, but I'd get extremely dizzy

[@eboli7146]

While the pain is an important aspect, and this is a great experiment, it’s important to remember that women deal with more than just pain. It’s also large dips in energy and mood at certain times, and it can be exacerbated by stress, diet, various factors some of which are controllable and some not. It’s complex and would be great if more men understood how challenging it is to be a woman.

[@jesugbogod4208]

This was hilarious 😂😆😂 Colby was red and Allie was unfazed like nothing was connected to her body. Period cramps are a nightmare. I will definitely be waiting for more 😁. Done ✅

[@melaniebeauty12]

[@addie3980]

This was a hilarious vlog 😂 but I especially liked how it featured more of the group including Emmi and Mickala too. 😊

[@colesuqs]

The thing I wish the guys would really fathom is it's not just a matter of how much you can tolerate, Its pain you can't tolerate unrelenting while you have to go about your life and work and school, all while bleeding so much it's literally making you sick, being hormonal do you wanna cry or kill someone, I mean the other things we have to deal with on top of the pain are countless and underrated and seriously under-respected!

[@justchristina777]

Something important to take into consideration is that really painful cramps are not typical. However, women with endometriosis or other reproductive struggles can have debilitating cramps that cause a multitude of symptoms. It also doesn't seem as though the simulator pads are in the proper places. Maybe try putting some on the lower abdomen near the groin and some on the lower back near the coccyx. That might feel more realistic.
