About PeriodCrampSimulator.net

PeriodCrampSimulator.net is a free empathy tool and educational resource dedicated to helping people understand what period cramps really feel like. Our mission is to build empathy between partners, family members, employers, and healthcare professionals — and the 650 million women who experience menstrual pain every month.

What We Do

We offer two core resources:

• Free Online Simulator — An interactive tool that uses phone vibration, heartbeat audio, and visual effects to simulate period cramp pain across 10 levels. No download or purchase required. Works on Android phones.
• Product Reviews — Honest, research-based reviews of physical TENS-based period cramp simulator devices, compared by price, features, accuracy, and value.

Our Pain Scale

Our 10-level pain scale is based on real testimonials from women living with dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, and adenomyosis. Each level includes clinical comparisons, medical context, and descriptions written to help people without periods genuinely understand what these conditions feel like.

Key facts our content is based on:

• Period pain affects up to 90% of young women worldwide
• Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women and takes 7-10 years to diagnose on average
• Severe period pain at levels 8-10 is clinically equivalent to active labor contractions
• Phone vibration replicates approximately 5-10% of real period pain sensation
• TENS-based physical simulators replicate approximately 30-50% of real sensation

How We Review Products

Our product reviews are based on Amazon verified review data, product specifications, and category research. We evaluate devices on:

• Number of verified customer reviews and overall rating
• Intensity levels and mode variety
• Battery life and charging method
• Electrode pad quality and quantity
