Super Terrific Japanese Thing: Menstruation Machine


I’m kind of cheating this week, since today’s STJT wasn’t made by a Japanese company for mass Japanese audiences, but instead by a performance artist named Sputniko! who as a rule generally try to spend their time being as weird as possible anyways. Still, if a Japanese man decides to make a wearable device that simulates the effects of menstruating for men… I’m going to run it.

As you can see, the machine does indeed leak a reddish fluid, and Jezebel says that it contains electrodes in the front to simulate menstrual cramps (you can watch both of these things in action in the video… after the part where Sputniko! dresses up like a woman and hits the town). I’m sure this device is highly anticipated by all the thousands of men around the world who have wished nothing more than to enjoy the sensation of menstruation. Which, incidentally, would be a far better name for the machine. Thanks to stealthyslyth for the tip.
