Care for your skin.

Before each use, you should clean your skin with gentle soap and water. This helps remove any of the natural oils
that may take away some of the stickiness on the electrode pads.iReliev TENS Wipescan help clean and prepare your skin for TENS treatment and are also useful for post-use to remove any remnants of gel adhesive from your skin.

Clean your electrode pads.

After each use, care for your TENS electrode pads by cleaning them with a moist cloth. If your pads are less sticky than they used to be, it may be because of dirt or oil. Be sure you are using a towel or a wash cloth, and not something that can leave residue, like a paper towel. Sometimes, just a few droplets of water can help bring back some stickiness but be aware not to over saturate them.

Brush your electrode pads.

You may use a clean toothbrush and gently brush your electrode pads in one direction, as though you were brushing a pet. This may help to expose some of the electrode’s stickiness.
