Tens and Flat Pads

I have a very inexpensive TENS unit with flat pads. I've finally figured out some pad placement that generates some really interesting sensations. Around the anus, perinium, pussy lips and the surrounding skin. The little unit that I have isn't powerful and only has three cycles (Arm, Leg and Back), and five preset power settings. All of them rather anemic. Arm and leg are sharp tapping sensations, arm starts to speed up and it doesn't quite get going fast enough. Back is a pulling sensation, that really feels like fingers are rubbing, pulling and spreading (depending on placement). It's also not quite powerful enough even at five. I've been looking at a larger TENS unit - a 9V with more flexibility on settings. This one is only 2XAAA.

Found a 7000 series on Amazon that is a good price, and the word on the net seems to be that it has a lot of flexibility. Also looking at a few options for electrodes. I notice that there is an anal probe that looks quite promising - and it looks like I could also make use of it for vaginal.

Looking for suggestions and comments. I think I'm on the path of something really interesting and not quite sure how to get there...

I have a few tens units and various pads. The 9v battery ones are definitely the best. I did make a couple of probes using stainless steel rods. Each was about as thick as a pencil and six inches long. I had a ladyfriend at the time who quite enjoyed having one in her anus and one in her vagina at the same time. Wonderful playtimes, especially as she liked to be tightly secured at the same time.

I have ben lucky enough to find some tens units at thrift stores. They can be quite expensive otherwise for sure.

Good luck with your search.

Give me a shout if you have any questions. It's a pity you are so far away. I think we have a lot of similar interests.

I am looking to purchase some accessories... noticed today that there are some clamps that would be appropriate for labia or clit... and I know from experience that direct attention on the clit is good for me. (A lot of pressure and a vibrator will curl my toes, but it takes a bit of time to build up...), so that's an area I want to focus on. I also know my anus is a real trigger for me - the feeling of twitchng with something inside... that tips me over the edge all over again. So I think the sensation of electro anally will be another area to focus onn.

The other thing that I do know is that the wee unit I currently have isn't quite enough... it starts to tip me in the direction, but doesn't have enough power to push me over the hill. Great if I want to tease... not so great when I'm needing release. Something with more adjustibility seems to be the right ticket...

Ahh... the joy of exploration.

While not related to the "female perspective", I concur with your (really excellent) description of what you get from a TENS unit. Or, don't get, if you know what I mean 😉

I've been exploring with an inexpensive TENS unit I purchased quite cheaply on wish.com (direct sourcing from China, much like Alibaba). It's got 2 independent channels and about 15 modes -- but they're all based on parts of the body. And not the fun ones, either! It's got knee, back, neck, shoulder, arm. leg, etc. -- and none of them really provide the right stimulation.

It's also got a few more descriptive ones: Knead, Scraping, Tapping. I try those, and they can feel nice, but mostly kind of...boring?

On the positive side, it has plenty of juice -- I rarely get above 50% before it becomes too painful.

I was hoping I could prove to myself that I'd enjoy e-stim with a cheap TENS unit before having to commit to a much more expensive purpose-driven unit like from Erostek or E-Stim. Alas, I'm afraid I'll either have to risk the cash or just accept that perhaps it's not for me?

For what it's worth, if you're still interested in trying TENS units, this one is currently < $30 at Amazon: https://amzn.to/2KaiP3n.

Good luck, and happy exploring!

The more I read of estim the more I want to try it. I have never tried it but once did have a course of slimming treatments at a beauty salon. I had about 30 pads on my body and the pulses felt very relaxing. I now wonder if those pulses were directed to more intimate areas how it might feel? How should I start?

Last week I plucked up the courage to buy a small muscle stimulator/Tens unit. It has 4 pads. I played around with some different places for the sticky pads. The feelings were really quite intense and amazing! My favourite was two pads on my lower tummy, like really low, and two either side of my vagina. The muscles contracted and pulsed and the tingling sensation around my labia felt lovely. I had to use my small vibrator on my clit to orgasm but the pulsing in between me legs felt sooooo good!

A simple device like a TENS machine is a lot of fun. I think what works for me is the idea that I can just turn a dial and my sub gets more pain. I've also found that if you put the box where they can see it, a sub finds it very difficult to look away. They become fascinated by that flashing light. Sometimes it's worth taking the plugs out and showing them what the lights mean.

"The green light means it's on and I'm ready to torture you. The flashing light indicates frequency. I can control the current with this, but this second dial controls the frequency of the shocks. When those flashes are slow, you'll feel shocks a couple of times a second. The more current, the more intense the pain. When the flashing lights are almost continuous - like this - I think it's likely you'll be screaming and biting that gag in your mouth. Then we can have a discussion about your attitude, slave."

If you start on less sensitive areas such as the ass or thighs, you can work all the way up to full power. Then you turn it off, move the electrodes to the pussy or nipples, and set up to go again. They know that will be worse.

Its a fun toy.
