Tens,ems,pes

I am confused about the sexual applicability of the different electro-stim devices. I did a brief search using "contains both" for TENS, EMS. This produced another acronym, PES, but did not clarify my confusion. Let me add that if this post has been discussed before, I will not be offended by "get off your lazy ass and look harder" as a reply.

Are the 3 subject devices esentially the same except for the adjustability and availability of features?

Does one of the 3 subject devices have more sexual applications over the others or is it a matter of personal preference?

What you have are acronyms for one Brand name, and two different types of electrical stimulation.

PES is an acronym for Paradise Electro Stimulations, a manufacturer and distributor of e-stim products.

TENS is Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, a type of electrical stimulation that is medically used for pain reduction, but also for e-stim.

EMS stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation, a different type of electrical stimulation that is medically used for muscle rehabilitation, and also for e-stim.

These three are different and feel different used for e-stim. I've used a PES and TENS, and the sensations are somewhat similar, but have marked different qualities.

There is much range of personal preference in e-stim, but generally you'll find that the more expensive units like the PES and Erostek ET-312 are more popular.

Thanks very much, Just Al. Helpful information. No need for me to spend too much money just for a "try it, you might like it" situation.

PES and ErosTek make sexual TENS units. They feel better than the less expensive medical TENS and EMS units. If you can find someone with an ET, PES, Folsom, or E-Stim power box, you should ask to try their's out. You'll be amazed.

Thanks to all,

this has been very helpful for me. I have the need for a medical TENS which I will check into but just as important, I want to try it for other uses too!
