E-stim massager (LCD screen·4 adhesive pads)

A pulse massager that sends current into the body through four adhesive pads. A figure of a body appears on the screen showing the area you have selected and the intensity. The supplier has posted no written description, so what follows covers only what can be confirmed from the product photographs.

The buttons are split into two columns

The left column selects where on the body you are using it, with options such as the shoulders, the lower back, the joints, the hands and feet, and the legs. The right column selects the character of the stimulation, with options such as pressing, rubbing, vibrating and tapping. Combining the two gives completely different sensations at the same intensity, so try changing the mode before you turn the intensity up.

Attachments can replace the pads

There is no reason the thing plugged into the output socket has to be a pad. If the lead fits, you can connect attachments such as a conductive ring or an electro plug to change where the current touches. Those attachments are not included with this product, so you have to choose them separately.

Before you use it

The pads are a consumable that loses its stick, so you will eventually have to buy new ones. Keep both electrodes on the same side of the body below the waist so the current does not cross the chest and pass through the heart. Leaving them on one spot for more than 20 minutes leaves the skin red and sore. A dry pad concentrates the current into a few points and stings, so dampening the adhesive side slightly spreads the stimulation evenly. With no written description from the supplier, the power source and the number of modes are not confirmed.
