TENS unit on a woman for pain?

[Kim_Burly]

A long time ago I bought a TENS unit to hopefully give Sir orgasms with. He had no interest in that and it got put away. Now he has told me to find it, find out what attachments I need for him to use it on me for pain stimulation, but I figure I should have ways for available for him to use it on me for pleasure as well, should he ask .

So, what I have is an LG Tec Elite, it does TENS and EMS. All I have are the sticky electrode pads 1.5" and 2" square. From what I have found I should get a butt plug with a built-in electrode and an insertable metal rod.

Is the LG unit powerful enough for this purpose?

What other accessories do I need?

What about pad/electrode placement for pain and pleasure?

Thanks in advance.

you ( or he ) can make your own electrodes, there's various ways to do that - and this may be a good way to see what you like before throwing $ at something that may not be your cup of tea?

Conductive hollow rubber tube can be used to create things like a clit clamp/stim....by taking one of those clit jewellery clamps, you know the ones that look like a hairin....swap the ends of that for conductiive rubber, or bend a bit of wire coat hanger and do the same...
you then dismantle one of the pads to get the wire to connect to the new 'toy'...

or you can add conductive copper strip to a dildo/vibe to effectively do the same for a V plug or butt plug. You just cover up some of the copper with something like clear nail varnish which stops that part of the covered surface working. ( you can also buy conductive silver pain which i gather is 'friendly')...

the 2 examples above can be made within minutes and if you use 1 wire to each then they are unipolar - ie/ they need the other ( or a pad ) on the other part of the 2 channel wire to work.

have tried 2-3 variations of the c-trode and the jewellery one in combo with a V plug( dildo) works ok with a TENS......the key is to not to have huge surfaces.

Or....forget about the plugs that sex stores sell and try the ones from medical stores - for pelvic floor etc - often its pretty clear they're the same but about 50% of the price! such stores also sell multi channel V plugs.....

as for just using pads - havent really investigated.
as for pain - havent investigated as that would be the end of that toy as Mrs H isnt into that.

word of caution, each to their own in terms of the pleasure/pain thing, but an 'ouchy' from electro really ca be a proper ouchy....too many may well have the receiver running for the Hills, even if it wasn't intended, better to work out very very gradually what works ( settings) remembering that the same settings a different day will likely yield diff results!!

be careful about crossing the spinal.

We have used a tens unit, both on nipples and downstairs... If set right, it is amazing pleasure, or pleasant pain. If turned too high... OUCH!! work up to what you can handle, and don't feel bad for taking it slowly until you find that perfect setting for yourself.

To the person that posted about making your own penetrating toys with this... Know of any links with ideas or directions? Always been a thought in my mind to try it, but I don't want to purchase the kits which are fairly expensive, just in case I don't care for it.

Thanks.. And to the OP.. Good luck! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!

I tried one of these few years ago. I don't have an excessively high pain threshold but found the TENS machine.... dull.

It just didn't stimulate the pain receptors in the way that other types of pain do.

I was disappointed, ended up bored and watching tv. Not what either of us had in mind. I would hold back on paying for attachments until you are sure it works on their pain receptors and gives them what they crave

Just so you know (if you didn't already), not all TENS units are created equal. Those that are intended for use within the medical field, for pain relief, and muscle relaxation tend to have a milder power output than the more expensive ones made for all of the fancy attachments for electroplay. Sure, some of the medical TENS units can seem powerful enough for some people, depending on their pain threshold. And sometimes there is a lot involved in where and how you attach conductive pads for a proper sexual response.

I'm not saying you didn't give it a satisfactory effort, but if it's possible you didn't, you shouldn't give up so easily. Some body types don't conduct electricity as easily as others. Electricity can be fickle in how it works and doesn't work. And if it was conducting sufficiently but wasn't "stimulating", that could have been a placement issue. Not everybody is sexually stimulated the same.

I know I can't tell if you gave it the proper chance or not. I'm sure you did. When it comes to sexual urges, we usually do our best to make them happen. But, if there's a chance that you might have been discouraged early, I'd hope you would give it another chance in the future. Maybe it was the power of the unit itself. Maybe it was placement. Maybe it was just body conductivity.

Maybe TENS isn't your thing and another type of electroplay would work better for you. Unfortunately, testing isn't that easy, as many of the electroplay toys are very expensive. I'm just saying not to bet discouraged after one attempt. There are a few small but necessary things for electricity to flow from point A to point B. The more powerful units can make things easier. I'm guessing that's one reason they are so expensive. It's that extra BANG you get for your buck.

But, what you said is true. Since everybody's body is different, testing the waters is always a good idea. Power of the unit, sensitivity of the skin, placement of the electrodes as well as the proper sexual atmosphere can all play a part in electroplay satisfaction.

DVS you make a good argument for eloectroplay

I tried a violet wand once, it freaked me out. Very different from the TENs machine which was one used by women in labour.

Did you really say 'testing the water' in a thread about electroplay?

That would be .....

 

[Kim_Burly]

Sir was kind enough to jury rig a plug and a rod for me and I just don't think the LG unit I have has enough umph! It felt relaxing, but not painful in the least. I think I need a more professional/powerful model.

I will tell you what we tried once was one of stun guns where the voltage goes between two metal pins and you push it into the bare skin of an attacker or a suspect that police are trying to subdue. Long story short, Sir took me to a police/military equipment trade show last January in Las Vegas and a company had had a bunch of those stun guns there. Sir, zapped me with it on my thigh. I don't know if he had it dialed down, he said that model had no adjustment, but it hurt, a lot, but in a very good way and I am curios how it would feel on more sensitive areas. I'm afraid to ask in case it is more than I can handle.

Thanks for the replies!

The violet wand freaked you out? Why? yes, there is a noise it makes, but that's no big deal. Actually, I think that kind of enhances the fun of it. And there's an intensity dial on it, so you can set it to a very low setting so it just tickles.

The violet wand has my vote way over any TENS unit. Sure, the TENS units have some fancy attachments, but they are all expensive. If you have a violet wand, anything metal can be an attachment. forks, spoons and butter knives are all pretty cheap and used the right way, they are very interesting attachments.

When it comes down to the money, a violet wand can cost about the same as a powerful TENS unit and one attachment. A violet wand usually comes in a kit with several different attachments...those glass globes and tubes that have the argon gas inside, so they glow a pretty violet color. And you can actually see the little lightening inside those glass globes as well as the small arc that is created when those globes touch something...like your finger. Turn out the lights, and you've got your own special light show, too.

A TENS unit usually produces DC current which is almost the safest type of electricity. The violet wand creates static electricity which is the safest type of electricity. And like I said, anything metal can be used as an attachment for the wand. If you have any of those solid steel dildos or butt plugs, just touch a violet wand up against the end of one of those while inserted and see if you don't feel it.

In a violet wand kit you usually get several of those glass globe attachments, a body attachment (one of my favorite toys to use with a wand) as well as a Wartenberg wheel and an incandescent bulb attachment. All kits aren't created equal, so shop around to get the attachments you want. And of course, you can purchase these attachments separately, but they are going to cost you more. and in a kit, there's a nice foam insert where you can keep each attachment save from breakage. Without that, some of those glass tubes can easily get broken and that's an expensive breakage.

Things like cattle prods and other voltage only devices that have two little prongs on the end and send one quick zap of DC voltage through them are very nasty. If you've ever seen a video from the porn site produced by Kink.com by the name of Wired Pussy or Electo Sluts, you will often see several little zappers that are better to play with than a stun gun. And one of those stun guns can be pretty bad, too. Some of them do have an adjustment but because they are made for self defense, most of them have just one setting...leave me the fuck alone. So, you might find one that has a low voltage, but still high enough to cause pain. But, keep in mind, if it hurts a lot on your thigh, it's going to hurt a LOT more on a clit or nipple.

I second this recommendation but please research violet wands before buying them and please don't scrimp on the cost. I have seen some pretty bad ones where the attachments sometimes work, sometimes don't, ones that do all sorts of funky things and that's before they have been used on anyone. Best to buy quality.

Oh, absolutely. There are a lot of crappy wands out there. Some of them look like the real thing but aren't. I'm not sure about the longevity of some of these things, but you do have to think about quality. Purchase with that in mind and not with only price in mind. I don't know how to tell a good wand from a bad one, but you probably should purchase from a larger house instead of some small timer.

I got mine about 15 years ago from Huse and Son. I'd guess they are still a good company, and there are others out there, too. It was expensive, but it has a hard shell case, a foam slot for every attachment and a foot switch so the wand isn't going all of the time. Mine doesn't have an on/off switch, so without the foot switch, as soon as it's plugged into the wall, it would be on. You don't want to leave them on for long periods of time. And when playing with them, you don't want to over do it. Electroplay can dry out an area of your body if you over do the fun on one particular area. Just going full blast with the setting on high and holding it in one spot is not something you should do.

Electroplay is best when you use a little finesse and tease your victim with it. High setting or low setting doesn't matter as much as the duration in one spot. Moving it around in circles or back and forth over a certain area is fine. But leaving it still, over one stationary spot can cause problems. I'm not talking seconds, but depending on the area, several minutes can be too long. You'll just have to figure it out for yourself, as every body is different. Sometimes water blisters can form and while those aren't anything to be alarmed about themselves, they are a sign that you have been overdoing it. And sometimes your skin will end up with a sensitive feeling after a lengthy play period. That's also a sign of too much fun.

But, you can also brand someone with a wand. With a dental tool in your hand, and the body attachment connected to your body, you can brand someone. The dental tool compresses the current into a very small area so you can draw or write your name, or whatever. I've never done it, so I don't know how long these brands last. You set the wand on high intensity, and the dental tool has a small point on it where all of that intensity is localized. Be creative.

You can also ignite a fire play solution with the wand. Because the wand creates an actual spark when it connects to something, that spark will ignite a flammable solution. Again, I've never done this, but I know it's possible, just like striking a match.
