Between June and November 2020, Womanizer (a sex toy company) and Lunette (who sell menstrual cups) conducted the "Menstrubation Study" - a global clinical study to determine whether masturbation can help ease period pain, and if so, to what extent.
During the study period, 486 participants were asked to refrain from taking pain medications for their menstrual symptoms and to masturbate instead. The participants were from 18 countries, an average age of 27, and 76% reported masturbating from 4 to more than 10 times per month during the study period. The findings of the study include:
One of the study participants said that sex was more effective than masturbating in combatting menstrual cramps. It would have been interesting if the study had asked participants whether sex or masturbation provided more effective pain relief.

The participants were from 18 countries, an average age of 27, and 76% reported masturbating from 4 to more than 10 times per month during the study period. The findings of the study include:
- 90% of the participants would recommend masturbation to combat period pains to a friend, with a 85% planning to continue their masturbation routine to combat period pain,
- 37% of study participants reported that they always have cramps on the first day of their period, but after 3 months of menstrubation, it was down to a quarter (25%), and
- 70% reported that regular masturbation reduced the intensity of period pain.
