I do want to tell you all about the TENS pads and my experience. I am highly allergic to many things especially glue - I need to use paper tape for example. The pads provided with any TENS units caused me to have a rash and hives - VERY uncomfortable. I tried several types of pads - even the hypo-allergic - all with the same result. I think it's the gel used on the pads. SO, I soak the pads in water for 24 and the gel falls off. I then wash the pads several times and dry them. I then use paper tape to re-inforce the stem area around where the connector comes out of the pad otherwise the stem falls out in a couple of days. When I use the pads, I use an aloe gel on the pad - result no more alleric reaction. You can get the aloe gel at any drugstore or WalMart. Good Earth has a brand, others have vit. E. Just info in case some of you have the same problem.
