BBC Radio 2 presenter Jeremy Vine bravely endured a menstrual cramp simulator on air, experiencing the intense pain firsthand and expressing empathy for those who regularly suffer from period cramps.
Jeremy Vine , a 59-year-old TV presenter known for his work on BBC Radio 2 and Channel 5, recently experienced a surprising and visceral demonstration of menstrual cramps . In a segment for the station's TikTok page, Vine put himself through the simulation using a device called the 'Crampsta,' which aims to mimic the pain felt during menstruation. The device sends electrical pulses to abdominal muscles, creating contractions similar to those experienced during periods.
\Vine's reaction to the simulator was immediate and intense. Beginning at a lower level, he described the sensation as feeling like '84 ants stuck to his stomach.' As the intensity increased, he grimaced, pushed back his chair, and writhed in discomfort. By levels five and six, he was practically jumping out of his seat, exclaiming that it felt like 'I've eaten a very, very bad takeaway' at level seven. While he reached the 'normal threshold' for men using the simulator at level eight, he was visibly shaken by the experience, stating, 'It's not damaging at all, is it?'\The 'Crampsta' simulator reaches level 12, which represents severe menstrual pain, and Vine's reaction at this level was particularly dramatic. He struggled to finish his sentence, comparing the pain to 'being attacked by a shark.' The experience clearly left an impact on him, as he admitted, 'I've got a lot of empathy now' for those who regularly endure menstrual cramps. Over The Bloody Moon, the organization hosting the simulator trial, aims to raise awareness of menstruation and the impact of period pain through these demonstrations. The 'Crampsta' allows individuals without periods to understand the severity of the pain experienced by those who do. The organization emphasizes that levels 10-12 simulate the experience of people with dysmenorrhea (severe period pain) or endometriosis (a condition causing severe pain and other symptoms).
