UPDATE I hope this works 😑😈

Ma • Sat, May 19

So the other night my husband decided it was a good idea to tell his pregnant wife (expecting #2) the good ‘ol “A kick in the balls is way more intense than giving birth” line...

But then he followed that up with “And I ripped the skin open between my toes once and that’s definitely more excruciating than an episiotomy.”

So naturally, knowing he was mostly serious, I was fuming mad for a good 24 hours. This of course only fueled his fire because he thinks he’s hilarious (and usually he is).

I guess I’m still not over it because I watched those YouTube videos of women using TENS devices to simulate contractions on their husbands all morning, and then I went ahead and Amazon Prime’d that shit.

It comes Monday and it better hurt like hell. Otherwise I’m going to hire someone to come kick my husband in the balls every 2 minutes for the entirety of my next labor.

I love my husband to death and he is incredibly supportive, loving, kind, and my best friend in the whole world. He’s an amazing husband and dad.....he just needs a little reality check 😑

Wish me luck! LOL

*UPDATE*

Ladies! While I highly doubt the sensation is the same, IT WORKED! 😂😂😂🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I bought a $30 “Amazon’s choice” one and put it on the Thai massage setting with all four electrodes around his stomach. He laughed at first at 5/20 bars of intensity. I got it up to about 10/20 before he ripped them off and started yelling “WHAT THE SHIT?!”

I was DYING laughing. 😂🙌🏼 ONLY HALF WAY!

I could see the muscles contracting and being pulled together between the electrodes when we tried it on his shoulder and calf before hand, so I knew it was doing something. 😈

He couldn’t handle it up past about half way on his back or leg either, and he’s genuinely a “tough” guy. He is neurologically more sensitive so I think something like that was a little more intense than getting punched in the gut lol
