Advice needed

Hey guys,

so my partner (medical doctor) and I wanted to try E-Stim out... Turns out mister "I know it better than the manual" did not read said manual...

Ended in me having the clamps on the nipples and him turning the thing on when a zap went through my body that hurt so bad I tore those clamps from my body and cried (bc of the pain) and laughed(bc I got so startled) for 20 minutes straight.

He had turned it on the highest setting I presume? Also told me though that even if it was the highest setting, it doesn't have enough oomph to effect my heart so its something I guess...

So that was a whole thing where we totally screwed up. Now I am scared to try again but I read about so many who like it...

Am I just a pussy? Is it supposed to hurt that bad?!

Thanks for your help!

Always start n the lowest setting. I have found that small changes in the settings result in huge changes in the sensation. Also, make sure to use plenty of conducting gel or you will experience stinging and burning on the skin at the electrode rather than deep pulses through the muscles between the electrodes. As a general rule, never apply electrodes such that the heart is between them. As an example, I would not use e-stim on my nipples but an electrode designed for the rectum with another electrode on the perineum would be fine. Read the manual for your machine yourself and then hook yourself up and you control the machine to better understand the sensation and experience before giving up control to someone else with a firm set of limits in place. Finally, I would say that e-stim isn’t for everyone and I feel I set my expectations too high when I started trying it.

Hey thanks for the reply the device we used was specifically designed for the nipples and does not have a strong enough current to interfere with the heart we checked that beforehand. We did not use gel though...

No! He should have read the instructions a couple times to be sure of what he was doing. Not to mention reading up on E-stim use in the first place. Many times one is suppose to first use the product on themselves first to know how it feels. Then he would have experienced what you did.

In my humble opinion, you should NEVER use a tens setup on your nipples unless you are using two machines with separate attachments so that the current isn't going across your chest and possibly interrupting your heart's rhythm.

Secondly, always start at the lowest setting and work your way up to your tolerance.

Just my two cents worth.

Start with a less sensitive area, like an arm, and then adjust the intensity, before going full force on a random body part, that might be extremely sensitive.

Never use a tens setup on your nipples. Even if you use bipolar electrodes, don't assume it's safe for your heart just because your device isn't powerful, it's not, don't believe it.

There are lot of other places below the belly button to play.
