TENS Device

[Soccer_Mom]

I would like to know if anyone has played with, or had experience with a TENS device for erotic stimulation?

And if so..what was it like? Love to hear the results..

Never thought of that use, but have used one for therapy. Mmm could be very nice.

It has to have a variable waveform control-- otherwise you just end up anesthetized.

Never heard that before. Generally they are very safe and I have used them from nipple to nipple, nipple to clit and clit to anal.

For anal I found a chrome plated dildo and attached a pad to it. I also marked it for ANAL only.

Slave enjoyed the hell out of it. For me I prefer impact toys in my hand. Still I love give giving her pleasure so we played with the TENS a lot. It's kind of dropped out of our toy bag for the last few years.

Despite the safety of the unit I'd never use it in a person who had a heart problem of any sort.

If you have any questions PM me. I don't check all the threads all the time.

I found it very underwhelming. It itched when it was on low, and it hurt when it was on high. I have weird skin, though.

I've had *five* heart attacks (at least - they told me I may well have had one or two "little" ones that I didn't feel enough to go to the hospital). I've been *prescribed* a TENS unit for severe lower back pain (for which I also take up to 40-60 mg of hydrocodone a day), and the response when I inquired about using it as a heart patient was: "Don't put it nipple to nipple," and a laugh, then, "Other than that, don't worry about it."

ETA: When they used a *big honkin'* TENS unit on me during physical therapy, the therapist was amazed that I kept telling him, "Higher... higher... higher..." and flabbergasted when he finally told me, "That's as high as it goes!"

Anesthetized means losing sensation, not dead. You're thinking of euthenized.

My experience with Tens units is that the same stimulation for a more than a few minutes numbs the nerve endings, and the same holds true for vibrators. I like 'em to vary.

 

[wicked woman]

I love the TENS unit fairly high after my physiotherapy. Haven't had the opportunity to use one in a sexual situation.

Stella, while I agree with you about the modulation if you are looking for pleasure, but you can use a cheap one without modulation if you are a dom, using it for your pleasure, her pain. Instant on-off, pulsing, etc. doesn't matter if it's modulating or not. Never use a single pole TENS nipple to nipple. Just use them below the waist.

A true double pole TENS has the positive and negative connections within each set of wires or clip, so the current only travels about an inch or so from one wire to the other and through whatever you have it connected to. That means you can use it on nipples. But to clarify, it then is NOT traveling from one nipple, through the chest cavity to the other nipple. But absolutely make sure of what you're doing, or you may damage your heart, or at least bother the small electrical pulse that keeps it beating.

If you are looking for pleasure, a double pole TENS that modulates can be very enjoyable. Of course, those are expensive. The way it works is you actually have two single pole TENS within a double pole TENS. You set it to modulate one signal against the other, creating waves of sensation. You can have the signal alternating between right and left connections, alternate pulses between right and left, etc. You also have the option for different type waves too, on the higher end models. This allows you to really vary the modulation settings. You have several controls that allow you to tweak the sensation to your liking.

Yes, a single TENS is just one setting, for the most part, with a volume control. I think you can probably get one that has a variable setting or something like to do pulses and maybe different type waves. But you need a double pole TENS to get that true modulating sensation. Two different waves varying intensity within the same set of wires is the modulation.

TENS units are usually direct current. There are some that are alternating current, but at a very low voltage. D.C. current is the next safest after static current, but that depends on how you connect the leads. Like I said, keeping it below the waist is a good rule of thumb, if you don't know what you're doing. That nipple to nipple thing is what you have to stay away from.

There's also a violet wand that can be just as much fun, or pain, depending on the end of it you're on. I actually prefer the violet wand, but it all depends on what you want. You don't get any modulation or wave changes with the wand, but it's static electricity, which is the safest current of all.

Both can use attachments so you might look into some of those, if you really want some fun. Double pole TENS have attachments for anal pleasure, clit pleasure, vagina pleasure, etc. and you can even hook up two attachments at once for sending those modulating waves back and forth, through anal and vagina, for example.

A double TENS or a violet wand are not cheap. TENS units vary because of their abilities. I'd guess at least $300, and that doesn't include attachments. Attachments are not cheap for a TENS, but they are sure nice.

A standard violet wand with the basic attachments is around $400. You can also get more attachments for them, depending on your desires. Or, you can just use something metal, like a fork or a knife. Electroplay is shocking good fun! You just need to know what you're doing.

EDITED TO CLARIFY: In the above underlined sentence, I previously stated you could go "nipple to nipple" with a double pole TENS. That is a misleading statement, as the current flows. I have reworded it to clarify. A single TENS is dangerous on a "nipple to nipple" application because D.C. current flows from one conductor to the other. In a single pole TENS, one conductor is in one clip and applied to one nipple and the other conductor is in the other clip and applied to the other nipple. So, it's flowing from one nipple, through the chest cavity to the other nipple. That's dangerous, because that's where your heart is.

A double pole TENS is made differently. Both conductors of the current are within the same clip so the current only flows a short distance from one side of the clip, through the nipple, to the other side of the clip. So, the statement saying a double pole TENS is OK for "nipple to nipple" use was incorrectly worded because the current doesn't flow from nipple to nipple.

I hope my clarification isn't more confusing, instead. It would be so much easier, if I could just stand up in class and draw on the chalk board or use some other form of graphics. But something tells me the subs would just blush and giggle.

Thank you, class. Time for recess!

I'm going to try it out today!

Thanks, DVS, that is some good info

The cool thing about TENS units is the variety of attachments you can get for them, including nipple clamps, vaginal and anal plugs, etc. Having the patches attached to your inner thighs and cunt can be quite...intense.

Awsome

Makes me want to run out and get one for myself

I have a 30.00 Tens device that produces HFO (hand free organism) regularly. You can also make electrodes very easily and inexpensively from readily available supplies.

The feeling is very unique. I really don't know how to explain the feelings but it is pleasurable. Be sure to check out the getting started with a tens unit for help in setting up the unit for the best results.

If you do a search on smart stim you can find more information

I LOVE tens units....

I have a proper medical one that my flatmate got me which is pretty good, also an E-Stim box which is ok but not as powerful for some reason (given that its twice the size)

I did borrow a remote E-Stim unit for a while which is great, much better than, say, a remote vibe. It's highly amusing watching a sub walking around with sudden zaps making her jump hysterically. - especially when she's in a queue at the gas station or grocery store, or any public place come to think of it.

I have a saddle seat chair that I converted into an electric chair, which is fun too.

Have posted the link to this thread to my Dom.

Please Sir?

lol

That's a mouthwatering picture! Also, thigh-clenching hehehe

I've only experienced a TENS unit for physical therapy. I loved it, though. But still, it's one of those things that I wouldn't want to become a "painful" thing. Turn the unit up to just that edge, though, and we could be in business. But still, considering it's a health tool, I'd rather not develop a sexual reaction to it. That could be potentially be awkward for a physical therapist

I just knew when I read Stella's question that DVS would have all the necessary info... shocking! lol

I think I've said this in another thread about TENS, I would fall asleep when my chiropractor put a TENS on my back to loosen up my muscles before treatment. He didn't seem to be bothered that I did. He said he would just wake me up when it was my turn.

The lower back shouldn't be an issue for your heart. Lower back is below he waist anyway, right? And except for the nipples, that's where all of the fun parts are, unless you're really strange.

Well I for one am an Ear and Nose person, so I would appreciate if you wouldn't judge me!!!

(I'm joking )

Lower back, at least in this context (referring to "lower back pain"), is the area between the bottom of the ribcage and the coccyx (tailbone) {see also: sacroiliac}, so only partly below the waist, but all below the heart area. The "nipple to nipple" comment was intended (at least mostly) as a jest.

 

[Lizzie_Borden]

I don't know the technical terms, but the one we have can be adjusted for zappiness and frequency of zaps.

I like high speed, low zap. Mr likes to switch it the other way around. :\

It drives me a bit mental, because the stimulation is always on the same spot and no matter how hard I wiggle, it doesn't move!

Lots of fun though.

I don't know how technical the term is, but the TENS term I think you are referring to is 'pulse'. A pulse is a short burst of current all at once. It can be set for repetitious zaps varying speeds, usually from 0-99...99 being almost continuous. I like the pulse setting while using pads. You put them on the ass and set the pulse for a medium repetition and high intensity. It resembles a paddle hitting the ass.

I knew the nipple to nipple comment was jest. If I ever need a TENS for my back, it will be because of my sciatica. I had it bad, back in 2007 and so I have an area of my back right below my belt line that could some day need help. Both sides, but mostly on the left. Some of my toes and a part of my heal are still numb from that experience. Right now, exercises keep everything loose, but I'm not getting any younger.
