Dr. Frederick's Reusable Self-Adhesive TENS Unit Electrodes - 2"x2" for Pain Relief

Richard Santelli: The Pads dont have much stickyness to them. I feel like the jell part of the pad doesn't have enough hydration. But this is the first time I have used this brand and I'll contine to evaluate the longevity of the pads.

KC 2: You get a good amount with this package, but go through them quicker. I can use them for about 3 times, or 4, before they just fall off. I've had other tens pads that I used for weeks, sometimes a month or more, because they didn't lose their adhesiveness. These unfortunately are pretty bad. I've had some lose their adhesiveness after like 2 runs on my tens (actually the ones I am wearing now became soft and non-sticky after the first time of readjusting my location). I use my tens machine in different spots throughout an extended period of time, so I am switching the areas up. I need adhesive pads... Sometimes I try to cover them with the band of my pants if I need that area concentrated on in order to use them an extra time. I take care of my pads, too. I don't just chuck them into the case. I don't use them after I've applied lotion or anything. I have been using a tens machine for many years. I'm quite familiar with the upkeep and care.

Maybe I got a fluke package or batch. I don't know, but I won't be buying these again. It's a waste, literally. I don't want to be throwing away something after a couple of uses... not good for the wallet or the environment.

Rebecca G.: LOVE these! Great price for a nice large quantity. Have back and neck injuries from a 35,000lb truck driving over me around 2010; as well as a driver decided to run a stop sign and t-boned me in 2016. I have permanent injuries I deal with 24/7.

My tens unit (along with some reusable snap/heat pieces I bought from Amazon from another seller), and a home massager/percussor (also from Amazon and a third seller), have made a TREMENDOUS difference. I rarely take medication for the pain as I don't want to become immune to it and it not work later on as I continue to age (when I'll really need it).

I don't give reviews that often much less say this much. However, being in pain on a regular basis in some area of my body, I want to share with others anything I've found that helps/works. (Tiger Balm Ultra and Bio-Freeze Spray are also a good regimen to add to your home therapy...DO NOT use the tens unit over the Tiger Balm or Biofreeze...put it on AFTERWARDS! Or you will experience a new pain to boot. (UGH)
This may or may not work for you...order a smaller quantity and see if helps.

The ONLY reason I didn't give 5 Stars is it did leave a SLIGHT reddening on my skin...

Roger A. Newman: The strips are very good on first contact--adhesive very strong and they cover a large area of my quadriceps which is the area I am trying to "fix." :) However, I noticed by the third use they didn't seem to adhere as well. I generally do three-hour sessions--two hours on the right leg with a Russian Stim setting on my device and then one hour of the IF setting on the same device. I have extreme problems with the IT band since my right hip was replaced--I can't walk. I am told that the hip looks good???? But I still can't walk. In all fairness to the doctors I do have back issues and I am going to have two levels of the LS spine operated on on 2/15.
So is this a normal wear-and-tear durability amount of the pads? I really don't know what it should be.
Further, I would like to suggest that the plastic inserts that the pads come on would be GREATLY improved if there were writing on them. They are virtually impossible to see/find if dropped or even placed on a flat surface. I am now putting the two per package back in the bag while in use and trying to only remove one at a time (being careful to hold onto it) until I have one of the patched attached to it.
Thanks for the...

AikoAiko: I bought these pads at the same time we bought the  truMedic TENS Unit Electronic Pulse Massager  I was pretty excited to receive both of these, so rather than reading the instructions... #doh ... I just had my son stick the pads to my neck and got started without preparing my skin at all... that was a bit of a mistake because after two massages, the pads stopped sticking... so, I actually read the instructions and realized that I was supposed to clean the area on my skin where I was going to stick the pads #oops!

Since realizing my mistake I took out a 2nd set and I didn't feel too bad about this because of how many sets come with this item (it's a LOT!)

I had my son prep the area on my back with rubbing alcohol which he seemed to enjoy because that stuff was FREEZING! (and he enjoys torturing me *grins*)

Well, they worked perfectly!

Now, I'm not sure how sanitary it is to share the pads, but, after my teenagers saw the results I got from my first couple of massages, they wanted to try... and, well, I wanted to experiment to see how long a single set would work, so we've only used a single set (4 pads) on all 3 of us across multiple days and...
