Tens burn marks

Hi there i like useing a ens unit on myself ,however i end up with burn mark s on my skin .What can i do to prevent this from happening

You don't have good conduction. You need a better conductive gel.

Unless you are using "electrocution" power levels a better conductive gel will fix your problem.

Use electro gel made to keep the connection between you and the electrodes. Burns are usually caused by arcs due to an improper adhesion causing variance in contact points.

Thank you both for the responce where would i be able to buy this gel ?

Any surgical supply/pharmacy/home care/convalescent center will have it.

Ask for electro-conductive gel.

What have you been using?

Even lubes like KY, astroglide or any other popular water based lubes will also work well.

TOOTHPASTE will work very well as a conductive gel, but it will be very irritating in the urethra or vagina. It may give a nice burn rectally. (This is definitely NOT for the inexperienced.)

I've also seen it show up in sex shops these days with more and more estim coming to market. There are several places in our area that carry it. Outside the places that Susie has suggested.

I think I've even seen it specifically in places like Walgreen and CVS (to her Pharmacy point) it's over in the aisle with the back tens units. Even have replacement pads and such.

Amazon is good for Electro gel. Half the price of a drug store, free shipping, and no clerk to deal with if your the shy type. lots of dealers sell 3 tubes for about the price of one a Walgreen.

Hi thanks for the help but when you use the gel how does the adhesive stick to your skin? Ive also used cupping with the tens electrode attached to them but it gives me blasters around my nipples .Is there any way to prevent this from happening ? i love to chat with people that has the same interest to give me more ideas

Have you used real e-stim generators?

When properly adjusted, they really do feel good even without the orgasms.

Use the electro gel and keep the current lower...also, keep the pad contact to a maximum as the amount of contact to skin is directly related to the sensation received

Are you using self adhesive (sticky) pads or conductive silicone rubber pads that are dry and require gel and a strap to hold them in place? If it's the former then you don't need conductive gel but as they dry out after several uses they will be less conductive and could feel uncomfortable. Are you using them on particularly hairy areas? It's also possible you have an allergy to the adhesive. Try a different brand of pad.

If it's the latter then use lots of conductive gel and strap them firmly to the skin to ensure good contact.
