The package came with clear instructions, expiration date clearly marked and was sealed with a tear-off perforation so I know they weren't previously used (and returned).One thing I noticed immediately was the pads were thicker and stickier than another brand I bought years ago. I equate that to a better product that will last longer. While you don't need to use electrode gel, I have in the past to continue the pad use and to create a more conductive layer between the skin and the pad. That said, I don't think I'll need to use the gel for a while with these quality 2 x 2 pads. Also, while one would think it was obvious, I typically clean the skin area before use (namely, after a shower or I'll clean the area with 70% alcohol).If you've made it this far into my review, I want to say I read many, many reviews trying to sift through the "real" reviews and the fake ones. While pouring through all the unit and pad reviews I've noticed that a lot of folks complain about getting rashes. This hasn't happened to me but I also noted that both the unit and pad instructions warned to (1) keep "electrodes not firmly against the skin greatly increase the chance of burns and other adverse reactions" and (2) extended or prolonged use at a high intensity can cause rashes.There were a lot of low ratings and people complaining about the units and pads because of rashes ("worst experience of my life!") and I wonder if they read the warnings. Understanding that rashes are legitimate for folks with sensitive skin and not caused by incorrect use, the warning I cited appeared on page 28 of 33 of my unit's manual so I do think a warning such as this should merit a more prominent passage in the front of the document.Thanks for reading the review, hopefully, you'll enjoy the DiscountTENS pad yourself. Have a good day!

Great for spasming muscles

R.W. · 27 February 2019

My significant other suggested I buy one of these for by back spasms and after a bit of nagging I went ahead and bought this one. If you have that back spasm that makes it hard to walk, sit etc. - get one of these. I wish I'd bought this sooner, because this little unit gives me real honest-to-goodness relief, sometimes immediately and sometimes not for an hour or two after each session, but with each session my back got one step closer to full recovery.I did this on my own, without doctor supervision, so I was a bit nervous. What settings should I use, where do I put the pads, etc. The bottom line is its not hard, you just need to experiment with it! I experimented with placements and settings, and as long as I keep it turned no higher than 2.5, none of these settings hurt. Once the pads are stuck on and are plugged into the unit, turn it on and you can fiddle with the settings and figure out exactly what each one does. If you can't feel it, turn it up until you do. You'll know when you've gone too far. You can play around with location too, figuring out what placement gets the best result. Once I get the placement right, I turn it to slight pain then ease it back to comfortable, and leave it there for a while. Then change the mode and try that for a while, then the next mode. I start out on normal, then turn it up a bit on modulation, a bit more on burst, and now I can take a higher setting on normal. And to be clear, for me personally, I get relief when I use it on spasming muscles, not the nerves nor the spine. The electricity hurts when its right on the nerve and doesn't seem to directly relieve nerve pain. But I do I find that if I calm the muscles, the nerves calm themselves down.The bottom line is this, if you have spasming muscles that keep you from enjoying life, this unit will help you get your life back.

The best compared to the rest

These are the best, long lasting Tens pads!

TENS 7000 compatible, adhesion weak

S. · 18 October 2022

Best Features: Value, compatible with TENS 7000Worst Features: After one use can lose stickiness, read below for a hackI use TENS at least 60min each day so I needed some electrodes that were cheap and reusable. These fit the bill but the reusability was an issue. However - stick them on the side that says “DONT STICK ON THIS SIDE”. They adhere more strongly to that side and then they maintain the stickiness. So I’m assuming it’s because the other side is drying them out because it doesn’t stick properly. I also put them in two bags. This increases the reusability, I can use a set for at least 3-5 days this way (remember, I use them for long periods of time)

Great
