I am extremely hairy all over ..... I have tried a tens machine and feel the benefit - but nothing ever sticks to me ....

I don't want to have to shave all my hair off - so can anyone recommend the best way to overcome this problem?

Thanks

Any men out there experienced this too

Hello

Try the ECG pads there are other pads that can be re-used that are larger and are not too bad to remove as the gell is not a glue it is water based. All you can really do is try.

You can also try a pain pen that just rest on where the pain is some people may use ECG conducting gell there to assist conductivity.

Good Luck

I don't know if this will help - it might actually be more trouble for you - but I had problems getting the pads to stick to non-hairy skin so I used to tape the pads on with surgical tape (which was cheap enough from supermarkets) and it did the job. Though I wouldn't fancy having to rip it off a load of hair - ouch!

Not what you're looking for?
