Electro pulse massager (LCD unit·4 electrode pads)

A pulse massager that comes with four pads and a pair of electrode slippers. A figure of a body appears on the unit's display to show the place you have selected and the intensity. The supplier posted no description, so the notes below cover only what can be confirmed from photographs of the product itself.

Area and mode are chosen separately

On the left of the unit are buttons for choosing the body area, such as shoulder, lower back, joints, hands and feet, and legs, and on the right are buttons for the character of the stimulation, such as pressing, rubbing, vibrating and tapping. Because the two rows are combined, the same intensity can feel very different. Below the display are the buttons that raise and lower the intensity.

The slippers come with it

Included is a pair of slippers with metal studs set into the surface that meets the soles of the feet. For feet, where sticking pads on is awkward, wearing the slippers is simpler and there is no adhesive to wear out. The feet are far from the heart, which also makes them a reasonable place for someone new to electrostimulation to learn the sensation.

What to know before you use it

This device was made for loosening the shoulders and the lower back, and using it on sensitive areas requires separate attachments. The pads are consumables whose grip fades, so eventually you will have to buy new ones. When a pad dries out the current concentrates in a few points and stings sharply, so dampening the adhesive side slightly spreads it much more evenly. Place both electrodes on the same side below the waist so the current does not cross the chest and pass through the heart. Because the supplier posted no description, the power source and the number of modes are not confirmed.
