I originally purchased this set to use as a traditional TENS unit for pain relief, and that was the review I intended to write, but, as with anything, first impressions may be adjusted as time goes on and the product is used.

This system is of above average quality, and the batteries actually last longer than expected. It worked well as a typical TENS unit, providing the relief I was after for joint pain. If you do intend to use a TENS unit, though, I suggest asking your doctor first if use of such a unit would be beneficial to you. As far as sexual use, it was a very interesting experience. After placing the pads on several body parts, the differing pulses and sensations were amazing!

I was blindfolded during its use, but the unit is small and does not really have any sensory impact where vision is concerned. In fact, my husband loved seeing the pads on my body, knowing I had no idea where the sensations would happen next. There is no smell to the unit, nor any describable sound. The pads were a bit squishy, which provided a weird experience when they were first applied. I would, though, avoid applying them to any area with body hair as removing the pads may become painful.

The unit is very easy to clean, just wipe down the control unit with a dry dust towel if there are fingerprints or dirt and grime on the power unit/controls, as with any control panel, the buttons may begin to stick if there is too much grime and dirt built up around the buttons.

When using this product, I would suggest replacing the sticky pads either every battery change or any time it is used on a different person's skin. Waiting longer may cause the pads to begin to degrade, which could effect the sensations of the unit.

Even with the expense of replacement contact pads, this unit still gets weekly use. The stimulation patterns are unpredictable and keep you guessing.
I am still impressed with how long batteries will last in this unit and I have found that, with proper care and storage, the contact pads can be used several times on the same person. The wires have held up and show no signs of damage.
