Would you try it out?

Finally, a Menstruation Machine That Allows Men to Experience the Monthly Cycle!

Here's one gadget I won't be lining up for: a "Menstruation Machine" that allows men "to experience the painful bleeding of menstruation." Well, wow.

The device is the graduate project of Royal College of Art student Hiromi Ozaki. It's pretty horrifying!

"Fitted with a blood dispensing mechanism and lower-abdomen-stimulating electrodes, the Menstruation Machine simulates the pain and bleeding of an average 5 day menstruation process of a human."

And just in case you couldn't picture it in your mind, there's this:

To be honest I have never understood the stigma of menstruation. Anyone that knows me knows I've never been squeamish about discussing my cycle or my Diva Cup. I've even posted pictures of it filled with blood on my Twitter.

I'd like to see how the attitudes men have change if they had to wear this, perhaps in school as a part or a human sexuality course/sex education.

i came up with a comeback to "i don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die":

"i don't trust anyone whose nipples serve no purpose"

Oh snap, that's a good one!!! Stupid fucking sayings like that always piss me off. Like that one about the locks and the keys equating to the promiscuity double standard. I just never have a comeback for them.

This is soo amazing .. Make it compulsory for all men who brag about their physical strength and try to compare with women

I always want to punch dudes in the dick who tell me to "suck it up" when I'm in pain from my period.

Frankly, I would pay to see a man use this. Unfortunately, unlike the iPad, I don't think men will be lining up to give this a costumer review.

I couldn't agree more.
