"I just got mine today so am only commenting on that part of the experience. I read so many stories online I was a bit confused on how what kind of pain I would actually experience.  I kept reading WORST PAIN OF MY LIFE WORSE kind of stuff... So i guess the pain I was expecting was like a knife cutting type of pain, it's not at all. If you can handle a period you can handle this.. its just a period cramp for less than ten seconds and done. NBD. TRY IT!"
