I got 23 uses out of these electrodes with my tens unit. Maintaining the electrodes and prepping your skin are both important to get as many uses as possible. I use these on both knees. My skin prep is to wet a paper towel and dampen my skin around the knee so the skin is glistening wet. Then I apply the pads. After the treatment ends, I return the pads onto the plastic they arrived on. Careful here! Once they're on the plastic, turn the plastic over and see if there are any air pockets. Press the pads more securely onto the plastic, otherwise the air pockets could reduce the longevity and effectiveness of the pads. Then, place the pads into the plastic bag and be sure to squeeze out as much air as you can before sealing the plastic bag. Each of my treatment on the tens is 30 minutes long, set to Burst, Rate is 2.0, and Width is 50. These are pretty good pads and worked well for me. I've ordered them a 2nd time!

It doesn't swtick very well. comes unrolled and then the wire connected in back of it is not put on secure enough. I wore it and layed down and fell asleep with it on n it pulled the wire out of pad itself. I dont suggest someone by this brand or style

The quality of these is great for $4. If you use it for a couple weeks and throw it out it's no big loss. I like the smaller electrodes because they are easier to place, and are easier to reuse. Make sure you wipe oil off your skin with alcohol before use or your skin oils will make the gel loose its adherence. Even when the gel is close to the end of it's life, it can be refreshed for a single use at a time with IceyHot/Bengay/or Aloe Gel. Basically moisture is what conducts the electrical currents.
