E-stim 101…The Essentials to Achieving
Ecstasy &
Hands-Free Orgasms
![Page 2: E stim power point](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a398be1a28abc53d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
First thing’s first… you need power
• TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)
• technically Prescription only
• Will numb nerves over time for chronic pain relief
• EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation)
• Most of what is publicly available
• “Hijacks” the signal from the brain to the muscle
• Makes the muscles move, stimulates rather than deadens nerves
• Violet Wand
• Surface, sparky. No muscle penetration
• New! Microcurrent (erasingpain.com)
• *Star Trek Medicine* Uses biofeedback to locate the source of the pain and stimulates the body to repair itself eliminating pain permanently

Different Types of Power Units
• Digital
• Pre-programmed patterns
• Remote Control
• Analog
• Turn-dial, no patterns
• Stereo/Audiostim
• Accepts MP3 files, live program and save your own for replay
![Page 4: E stim power point](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a398be1a28abc53d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
So what do I look for?
• Number of channels
• Output intensity control, power levels
• High or low frequency
• Available pre-programmed patterns
• User-friendly controls
• Twist dials or push buttons
• Auto shut-off/Timer
• Input Capabilities
![Page 5: E stim power point](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a398be1a28abc53d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Pros & Cons
• Self-adhesive vs. not• Convenience, wrap/sticky gel, allergies
• Beginner power unit vs advanced• Analog, Digital, Audio
• Commercial vs Do-It-Yourself• Cost, Shaping, Skill/Tools
• TENS/EMS vs Violet Wand
• Pads vs clamps, cloth vs silicone, etc etc etc

Understanding terminology
• Pulse width/amplitude (hertz)- How deep does it penetrate?
• Pulse frequency/wavelength (rate)- How fast does it go?
• “Constant” misnomer
• Output-Amperes (amps)/Volts- How strong is it?
• Waveform, output pattern- What does it feel like?
• Sine, square, interferential, sinus, monophasic, biphasic, etc.
![Page 7: E stim power point](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a398be1a28abc53d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Understanding terminology
• Amperage (amps for short) is a measure of the AMOUNT of electricity used.
• Voltage (volts) measures the pressure, or FORCE, of electricity.
• Wattage (watts)amps x volts gives you the a measure of the WORK that electricity does per second.
• Example: Electricity through a wire is like water through a garden hose. How much can fit through depends on the diameter (amps). The pressure depends on how far open the faucet is (volts). The total work (watts) is both combined.

Unipolar vs Bipolar vs TripolarUni= One. Bi=2. Must have 2 to create a pathway
![Page 9: E stim power point](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a398be1a28abc53d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

![Page 13: E stim power point](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a398be1a28abc53d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Adapters
• Almost any connection can be turned into anything else.
• Remember…
plugs into machine versus accessory connectors.
Not the same thing!
• Or all-in-one, get a gator clip leadwire that can attach to
anything.
![Page 14: E stim power point](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a398be1a28abc53d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Principles of electrical pathways
• “Positive” and “Negative- completing the circuit
• With e-stim, red/black doesn’t matter. Think 1+1=2
• Path of least resistance
• Conductivity capability
• Surface area implications
• SIZE MATTERS!
• Not all power units can handle all accessories
![Page 15: E stim power point](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a398be1a28abc53d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

![Page 17: E stim power point](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a398be1a28abc53d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Electrode positioning
• Think:
What do I want to feel?
Where do I want to stimulate to feel it?
Thus, Where do I want the current to flow?
Place one unipolar device at either end or on both sides
Be aware of landmarks such as muscles, nerves and
acupressure points in the area
![Page 18: E stim power point](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a398be1a28abc53d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Electrode positioning
![Page 19: E stim power point](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a398be1a28abc53d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Care of Electrode pads
• Clean the skin prior to placement
• Use a skin-prep spray
• Keep the plastic protectors they come on
• After use, lightly rinse the sticky surface to
remove debris
• Replace onto plastic protectors.
• Average longevity is 6-8 uses per pad
• You can extend their life with
Tensive or Tac gel

![Page 21: E stim power point](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a398be1a28abc53d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Lubricant
• Electro-conductive Water-based only, NO SILICONE
• Salt-water, can add baking sodaSterile
![Page 22: E stim power point](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a398be1a28abc53d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cleanup
• Cleaner and Hospital-grade disinfectant
• Bacteria, Fungal, Virus and more!
• Spray or wipes
![Page 23: E stim power point](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a398be1a28abc53d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Safety First!
• The above the waist stim debate- get the facts and make your own decision.
• In general, old wives tale with the exception of heart arrhythmias or pacemakers
• Not when pregnant
• Consult with a physician or physical therapist if you have epilepsy or pain of an undiagnosed origin
• Commercially produced units only- NEVER connect directly to batteries or audio/speaker outputs
![Page 24: E stim power point](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a398be1a28abc53d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Safety First!
• Never directly on piercings. E-Stim may cause burns at
high voltage levels on small contact areas.
• Locations: NEVER
• Throat (carotid sinus)/Larynx. Can close the airway
• Eyes/eyelids. In fact, never above the neck especially across the
head. Face
• Broken or irritated skin
• Inflamed joints
• Near medical implants of any kind (stay 6 inches away from insulin
pumps, pacemakers, ports, etc.)
![Page 25: E stim power point](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a398be1a28abc53d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Sum it Up
• Don’t just plug and play
• Start slow
• Let the receiver control things at first
• What works for one person may not work for another,
e-stim is highly highly individual
If in doubt, ask an expert. We recommend the discussion
