First timers

Hi all

We're tried E-stim for the first time last night with little success. We tried with a tens machine using 2 electrode pads about 2 inches square. We placed them on either side of my wife's vagina but she only felt a sensation entering the top of each leg. We tried in various places, one under her bum and one on her pubic mound where she only felt the sensation on her bum. We also tried directly over her clitoris and one on her bum and again she only. Felt it on her bum. Is it the placement we have wrong of the electrode types or both?.

Thanks

A typical reason for feeling sensation more in one pad placement than another is unequal surface contact.

The pad which has least contact will be the one where sensation is felt - but don't be fooled. If both pads have equal, or roughly equal contact, then you shouldn't feel it at the pads at all. Rather, you should feel it somewhere between the pads. The clitoris, the labia etc being favourite targets.

Make sure there is enough adhesive gel coating on the pad, remove any oil or body secretions and, if possible hold the pad securely against the skin with a bandage or adhesive tape.

I WANT TO TRY.....

I’ve have a tens unit I got off Amazon with pads. Haven’t had a hfo yet, but I’ll keep trying. Going to order a different unit with conductive rubber adjustable rings. R. F.

The key to good e-stim sessions is patience as well as experimentation. Everyone reacts slightly differently so for something that works extremely well for me may not be as effective in someone else.

Electrode placement is key to getting the most out of your e-stim system and as has already been stated if you feel hot spots or sensations at only one pad then there is a problem with conductivity there. You may have a set of cheap pads (it does happen). Here are a few tips:

1. Make sure that you are thoroughly hydrated, it might seem obvious but it can make a huge difference to how things feel.

2. Ensure good adhesion of a pad style electrode, I place mine on skin without any hair (yes I shave down there).

3. Keep an e-stim diary of settings that you have used and where you placed your electrodes. This can make it easier to avoid something you have tried before and also makes it easy to recreate amazing sessions.

4. If something didn't work for you try it again on another day as stress, hydration and other things can affect play.

5. Don't fixate on the hands-free orgasm, e-stim can be an amazing way to give and receive pleasure even if it doesn't result in an orgasm.

6. Remember that you can always increase stimulation with other toys. I can recommend a wand style vibrator if you are having problems getting over the edge.

7. There are lots of good resources concerning electrode positioning guides, you will have to google them though as I don't want to appear to be spamming the forums.

Take your time, experiment and just remember to have fun.

I have had my E-Stim for several weeks now with no HFO results until today. I was using several settings and intensity amplitudes. I was using a pair of pads in various places. Then I used my short penis probe in my ass and had a stream of cum flowing into my cup 2 ounces of delicious cum. YUM 😜 😄 Looking forward to a lot of cum drinking. 😉

I would like to try a e stim machine but dont know what to buy or if i would get the results i need or want. do they result in desirable ejaculations and where do you place the electrodes to get the best results

Picked up my first E stim machine today... going to need to experiment a little to figure it out.. need to get a ring and a plug. Tired the pads and they had some effects. Started a log to figure it out...

IN ADDITION to what BigK said, more sensation will be felt on the site of the smaller electrode with LESS surface area.

I have had very good results after experimenting for the past few weeks. Good tight adhesion is imperative as well as closeness of pads or loops. Loops work best for me. Pulled tight and about 1/2 to 3/4 apart next to the cockhead. A high setting and a good imagination of what you are feeling (ie. someone sucking on you) and patience makes it happen. 😃

I have a e-stim machine but i use it for muscle issues in neck and back but a friend of mine here thinks i should try it for other ways how do you go about experimenting on your own though is it safe?

@dakotasuz

I suggest reading all you can on the topic in this forum. And read the manual for your machine. Then slowly practice and refine.

Well I tried e-stim for the first time only did it for about 5 minutes but it was too much to fast I dont know how to explain this but my brain went a place it shouldnt have gone and now im almost too scared to try it again. But I promised a friend I would branch out so I tried but not sure I will again.

Dakotasuz,

Its hard to tell based on your description if your first time with e-stim was good or bad? I can say that e-stim is certainly not a practice where instant gratification is the norm. There are so many variables at play during a session that it takes some experimentation to figure out your equipment, and electrodes before you even get into the part where you're reliably stimming yourself to orgasm. I know many folks who've tried e-stim and had miserable experiences due to bad technique or equipment and written it off. If you're willing to go a bit more into detail about your experience your fist time there are many of us here who can help you troubleshoot and navigate the learning curve to the stimming process.

Anecdotally, I recently purchased a drug store t.e.n.s. massage therapy device just to get a basis for comparison against a professional e-stim box like Erostek & E-Stim Systems or a DIY stereostim unit. Hooking up with the usual electrode setup, the drug store units' built in signals left much to be desired. Most felt sharp or stingy, almost like they were rough around the edges in comparison to the smoother feel from a made for play box or stereostim unit. There was only one signal that was a constant buzz that felt what I'd consider "good" and even that was held back by the coarsely stepped digital power adjustment. Having an analog knob to turn is super important in good e-stim sessions as often the threshold between YES and OW is very fine.

Obviously money is an issue for many folks and e-stim can be an expensive way to get off so finding a way to dabble for folks is common. Just think of most t.e.n.s units out there like toy pianos in comparison to a real one. You can approximate music with a toy piano but you'll be missing out on a lot from a real one.
