Nipple electro-stimulation set (wireless remote)

An electro-stimulation device supplied as a set: two cups worn over the nipples, a round unit that generates the pulses, and a wireless remote. The unit fits in the palm of your hand and has sockets on the side for the cup cables. The supplier has published no description text, so what follows records only what can be confirmed from photographs of the actual item.

Bell-shaped cups that cover the nipple

Each cup is shaped like an upturned bell, so it sits the nipple at the center and covers the area around it as well. The inner face is what touches the skin and carries the current, so the skin should be damp before you put the cups on if the stimulation is to spread evenly. Applied dry, the current gathers at the few points that make contact and pricks sharply. A thin layer of water-based lubricant reduces that difference.

The level shows as a number on the display

A small screen on the front of the unit shows which level you are on as a number. Mode names are printed around the screen, and three buttons below it handle power, up and down. Being able to see the level makes it easier to step back than on a device you adjust by feel.

The remote can be handed to a partner

A separate four-button remote changes the intensity and the mode without touching the unit. It is used with one person wearing the device while the other holds the remote. Before handing it over, agree on a signal to stop and promise that the intensity goes straight down to the lowest level when that signal comes.

Before you use it

The chest calls for the most care of any area in electro-stimulation. With one electrode on each nipple the current crosses the chest and passes near the heart, so anyone with a heart or circulatory condition, anyone with a pacemaker and anyone who is pregnant must not use it. Even without those conditions, it is safer to keep the intensity low and the session short. The supplier has not stated the charging time or whether the device is waterproof.
