TENS Unit Pads Premium Multi Pack of Latex-Free, Non-Irritating Replacement Electrode Patches for Muscle Stimulation Massage Electrotherapy – 34pcs (2x2in Small, 2x4in XL, Pad Holders)

I'm a 50 year old laundry worker in a nursing home and a gardener. I also suffer from osteoarthritis, DDD, and sciatica in my lumbar vertebrae. I have been using a TENS 7000 unit for the last 2 years and I cannot say how much it helps me with my pain! Cherish Life is the third brand of electrode pads that I have purchased and so far I can't say enough about how good they are. I also need to mention that I live in the Deep South and all of my work and gardening is done in 90 degrees Heat 5 months of the year.Additionally I started breaking out underneath my electrode pads recently. The last brand I purchased was Accuzone - I actually bought them twice because I was happy with them thru the winter. They had a good price point and they seemed to last. However, when the heat of summer rolled around, so did the adhesive on the pads. Essentially the adhesive just rolls right off of the surface of the cloth pad. Now, I do not know if I developed an allergic reaction to the adhesive itself, or my skin was being burned because it was exposed directly to the cloth pad where the adhesive had peeled back away. Either way it felt like I was being shocked / burned and the only thing I could do was bring out a new set of pads. I bought 40 pads 2 by 4 inch in June and in three months I needed to reorder.So in doing a lot of research I saw that the cherished life brand was considered hypoallergenic and that is what made me purchase them. I really wanted all of them to be 2 by 4in but it is a combo that includes 2 by 2 inch squares. The bottom line is I have been wearing the very first set of 4 pads for a whole week. And yesterday was a true test because I was outside gardening in 90 degree heat for six straight hours. And although the pads slipped around a little bit on my sweaty skin, I was able to press them back down. And when I took the pads off at the end of the day not one bit of that adhesive had rolled back. And I'm able to use them again today. My previous rash or burn areas seems to be healing, which leads me to believe I do not have an allergy to adhesive. So if you've had any problems with your electrodes having a decent life or causing you skin problems, I highly recommend this brand which is cherished life.

The only drawback to this unit is that it is not a rechargeable unit. It runs on AAA batteries, which are not included. However, I've had mine for several weeks now and I'm still on the original batteries that I put in. I use it for up to 2 hours a day and it has worked wonders! I am on my feet at least 9 hours straight almost every day without a break and so when I get home my feet can sometimes be in pain from fatigue, and stress of activity and being overweight. This unit helps me so much to alleviate the pain, and to prepare my feet for work, which has helped to lessen the fatigue and stress on my feet. I've also used it on my knees and my calves. It is very easy to use. I will warn that you have to make sure that the contacts that go into the unit are in all the way, as well as the contacts for the pads or you won't get any flow to the pads or where they contact your skin. Also, depending on where the pads are placed depends on the sensation you feel. You may need to go higher on the setting, or you may need to reposition the pad so that it is making proper contact with the area you are targeting. All in all, a great budget-friendly, easy to use unit. It comes in a small, zippered case that holds the unit, leads, and pads. It's small enough to fit in a purse, a carry-on, even a gym bag. I highly recommend this product!!!

Really pleasantly surprised with these pads. I use my TENS pretty frequently and for multiple hours at a time (for endo pain relief on my stomach and back.) Other pads I had purchased were starting to give me skin irritation for days after just an hour of use. I thought I would try something marketed as hypoallergenic and found these gems!A set of four pads comes in its own sealed bag, which helps keep them clean and prevent damage in storage, and it also comes with 2 laminated cardboard pieces for “parking” your pads in between use. Clearly the maker is serious about protecting their product. They’re SUPER sticky and last me about 7-10 uses with occasional cleaning, even though that’s technically more than the manufacturer recommends. I don’t think the gel conducts quite as well as other pads I’ve used, but the difference is minimal and totally worth it to have no itchy/inflamed skin afterward! Will definitely be being again when I’ve used them all up, but that will take some time :)

These pads came on time and have good packaging. The pads come in a resealable pouch, and the pads are further sorted into individual packages (four square pads per package, I assume, but have not opened, that there are two large pads per package). The outside of the pads is covered with incredibly soft cloth, and the pads are very sticky. They worked well on my lower back, but I did have some lifting in the corners when I applied to my shoulders, however I don't believe this to be a default in the pad, but rather it's a place with high movement. I use this with my irelieve and there haven't been any issues. I'll repurchase when I need to.I wanted to edit to add I opened the long patches, they are about the length and width of two of the square patches. There are four in each pouch, and they each require one lead, thus you could attach four at a time. Please note, there are only two boards to attach these two after use. Basically if you've used four of the small one you'd need the front and back of one board, but one board only fits two large pads. I'd suggest using either 4 large pads till they wear out, or using a combination of 4 small pads, and 2 large pads.

For the most part I really like these TENS unit pads. They adhere really well and I like the fact that the pack came with a special adhesive board to store the pads until the next the usage. My only dislike is these pads are not as hypoallergenic as I would like. I am really sensitive to adhesives and even though these are hypoallergenic, they still wind up making me itch, but it does take longer before that happens. It's also helpful that the pack comes with two sizes to choose from, so if I need a smaller area of usage, I can use the smaller pads or larger pads for larger areas.
