Customer Reviews of 20 Electrodes 2" X 2" Square Re-Usable Electrodes - Multistick Gel - Non-Irritating to Skin
Customer Review: Don't expect to use them more than once or twice
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't write a negative review lightly, nor often. However when a product claims "40" uses, then notes it depends on so many variables, I would expect to get at least 4-5 uses our of a package of electrodes. I get 2-3 uses per set of 4.
I have tried taking showers prior to usage allowing my body to completely dry. I have used Alcohol wipe prep pads to remove any oils from my skin
just prior to use assuring the skin is dry and clean. Yet, after the first use the edges start to lift up. The 3rd use a pad or two will not stick securely enough. When the pad does not adhere to the skin surface well you end up with the current arching slightly on the skin and this concentrates the charge in a small pinpoint location causing burning
and discomfort.
I even tried using the unit on my wife with a similar set of processes to ensure it was just not my body over producing skin oils or some other personal issue. Usage on my wife achieved similar results.
A previous reviewer reviewed the dual channel (twin Stem TENS unit) and noted to "toss the included electrodes they are junk" and purchase an alternate suppliers electrodes for the unit. A package of 4 of these electrodes are included with the unit. Excellent advice, however since I can't find that review, I just asked my Physical Therapist which they used and ordered several pair. Much better. So my recommendation is ask your PT which ones they use and order them instead. They are "The cheapest pads around" for a reason. Avoid unless you can afford to toss them out after one use.
******* UPDATE *********
I have switched to the "EZ-STIK Reusable Electrodes" and I have been on the same package of 4, used twice daily on Cervical spine and lumbar completing my third week this Sunday (two days from now.), and I suspect
it will be time to retire them and move on to a new package. But that is 42 applications which is far greater than I expected.
I am doing EMS, so my intensity levels are fairly high unlike with TENS
where the current does not require such intensity often. (Roughly, TENS is often used to re-train nerve channel paths to carry a signal), where-as EMS is muscle stimulation. My neck muscles around the Cervical spine tighten up as an over-reaction defensive action to protect the injury to the area). The EZ-STIK electrodes cost more per unit, but if it lasts 4-5 times as long, I am saving money. I use the same procedures I used with the item you are viewing now. I hope this helps some people. If in doubt, at least order one package of each and try for yourself. The EZ-Stick are sold by a few storefronts on Amazon.
