Guys, do you want to know why women can get so cranky? Here is the period challenge for biological males. WARNING: this is graphic and not for the faint of heart.
This is based on my own cycle and there will be no use of tampons or diva cups. This challenge will last a whole month.
Tools needed: night time pads, medium pads, light pads, aloe vera gel or lubricant, red dye, small red dot stickers.
Day 1. Put a dot of red dye in your underwear. Walk around in it until the next time you go to the bathroom. Afterwards, change your underwear and wear a light pad.
Day 2. Wear a medium pad. Put 1/3 cup of gel in it; spread it around and put the red dye if you like. Wear this for two or three hours. When you go change it, give yourself a break and wear a clean pad for half an hour before you put another 1/3 of gel on. Repeat throughout the day.
Also throughout the day, put pressure using your knuckles on the soft spot just above your pubic hair. Put as much pressure as you can for 20 seconds, release a little, and put pressure again in variant strengths. Do this for one minute. Continue this pressure task every 30 minutes throughout the day.
When it's time to go to bed, wear a night time pad. Put 1/2 cup of gel. Leave a little outside the pad so it stains your pants and bed sheet and then sleep.
Day 3. Continue to use medium pads but today use 1/4 cup of gel. Also continue to put pressure on your stomach but use less pressure and for every 2 hours.
Use night time pad at night and today, put 1/3 cup of gel. Dont forget to stain your pants... and bedsheets.
Yay! No more pressure on the stomach! But do continue to use the pad and gel. Use less and less everyday.
Wear a light pad and put a drop of red dye for two changes. After, wear a clean thin pad for the rest of the day.
This is the recovery week. Enjoy it while you can.
Week 3: Time to make babies
Wear some makeup this week because your skin is cooperating and is radiant. You're also going to be horny as hell. If you have a partner, act like a cat in heat around them because this week, you're fertile! That means you have to insist on condoms or other forms of protection... not pull out.
Put some stickers on your face because this is break out week. Also pretend you're drunk because this is PMS week. Get overly emotional. Watch a sad movie you've seen before and cry. Get angry someone is 20 seconds late or is walking slowly. Slash out over the smallest provocations then feel sorry for lashing out. By the end of the week, put a red dot in your underwear again and start all this all over.
1. Go on a 2+ hour car ride on day 2 or 3 of your period.
2. Imagine the condom broke during week 3, your fertile week, and you might be pregnant. Freak out until you see the red dot and be glad for the pain that comes with it because it means you're not pregnant.
It's a little unfair to make you wear a full pad at all times but there isn't a better way to emulate the discomfort. Be glad you don't have to smell the horrible smell that comes with having a period or the feeling of slugs coming out of you.
Please don't do this challenge. I don't know how wearing a gel cover pad would affect the male genitalia and don't want to take responsibility for any resulting harm.
I hope reading this challenge will give you a better understanding of what women go through every month.
