Newbie report- just received my 2B - Wow!

Just wanted to thank the folks at E-stim Systems . I just received my 2B today and I had a chance to do an initial try and all I can say is WOW!. Having only just recently discovering estim with an Amazon-purchased TENS device, I am so glad I invested "up" (in $) to get a device designed specifically for e-stim...and the 2B seems to have been a great choice.

I could not believe how quickly it arrived from the U.K.! I ordered it last Monday and the postman made the first delivery attempt at my house on Saturday.

I only had an hour or two of "privacy" to test it out today but am so happy with the smoothness of its operation and all the features. One main reason that I bought it was for the audio input. Not just the microphone but the plug in audio input... And it did not disappointed me. I am hooked already on audio estimming.

Just one question about electrodes. Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to keep a TENS pads adhered to the perrineum? Or are there any other trodes that make more reliable and better contact with the perrineum skin? I have some conductive adhesive gel which kind of works but I still find that it does not keeps pads well adhered down there.

Anyway, very happy to have found this community on this board and Smartstim Board and will continue to contribute. I hope to benefit from others' DIY recommendations for electrodes and audio files and I hope to contribute to the same in the future.

You should not be using gel on pads as they are already coated in a conductive adhesive. The important thing for pads is that the skin needs to be dry, clean, non greasy and with a little hair as possible. You might also consider a different size pad if the issue is that the thighs are causing the standard pad to peel off the skin.
Hope this helps and I am pleased to hear that you are happy with our service and product.

Thank you Mick. Just to be clear, are you saying that even if the gel is a conductive adhesive (not lubricating) gel it should not be used to enhance a pads adhesiveness.
This is the gel to which I refer:

Thanks again

If the pads are all ready sticky you don't need to add gel to them. Stuff you would add the electro gell to could be dry things like loops, metal loops, ect.

I rub a little gel on the pads after use to help them keep their stickiness and last longer. Storing them in a sealed bag also helps.
