How well do the gel pads adhere when you are working outside and start sweating?

You can perform moderate physical activity, however if you sweat significantly it will affect the adhesive properties of the gel pads and you will tend to replace the pads more often.

Not that well at all. I have to use a bottle of something called pre-tens conductive skin prep. It really works great during the summer.

Not very well. The unit is relatively heavy (not really heavy by itself, but for sticking to your skin it is heavy) so it is better to augment the sticky pad adherence with a clothing waistband.

I've found that if you put it on when your back is clean and dry, the pads seems to stick pretty well. If you're sweating a TON, they do loosen up a little from your skin. I sweat a lot and it hasn't fallen off me yet. If you have a shirt on or a waistband over the witouch, that really makes it a non-issue!

This is one of the reasons that I do not like the Hollywog. Because of the weight of it, it has a difficult time sticking even indoors. I have not worn it outdoors because of this reason. It's a poor design. Maybe if you wore something to hold it in place, such as a wide belt, it would work better but I was using it in the middle of my chest.

After enough use the stickiness of those electrode pads will wear off and that pads will not stick to your skin. You apply this gel to the electrode pads and it will make them sticky again.

So sorry for the delay. My husband said that he has not used them around water but he has used them in very hot temperatures where he sweated and that moisture didn't affect them at all.

I have only used the breeze pads, but it would not hurt just to give the others a try to compare.

Yes it does, I sweat allot more while outside at work, walking, or working out after I put on the morning cream, but I use the cellulite mitt which causes some friction and it's allot more hot feeling if you wear an under shirt or tang top to hold the heat in. I wouldn't say it's too much, you actually get use to it

I sweat heavily and haven't had a problem with mine. Been using them for several years - lost one set - the only issue I had was with ear wax but was not hard to fix.

I wish I could help. I got my gel pad for airplane travel and I love it for that purpose and I found it neither hit or cool. Good luck!

The pads get less sticky over time and are easier to use. I use mine a long time so I even wet the area where I want to apply them. I have no problems with the machine.

If you don't sweat a ton, they will be great. If you are someone who does sweat a lot, plan on them going out. Mine stopped working a few days after the month warranty.

I've done 100+ sf will no appreciable wear to the pads. be patient and work your way up to 3k. always use two hands or you get some swirling. keep them wet and plan on a ^huge^ mess. you'll get soaked along with everything in 15 feet.

I have found that the pads hold body heat. The a/c might help but you will be a lot warmer on the pads.

Doesn't sweat on the outside - only the inside. you should be good. never noticed moisture on the outside.

No, no problem with sweat at all. I did rub off a little on my ankle when I wore my Converse all day but covered it right up with a dab of lotion. Best stuff I've ever used but use gloves.

I too initially had problems with them sticking but I found if you apply pressure and heat for several minutes (2-3 minutes) when you put it on it stays much better. When put them on press the palm of your hand on the electrode - that gives it both pressure and warmth and you will probably need to do that each time you put on the electrode. They still don't stick as well as other I've had but these will do until I need them again. Don't use alcohol or anything else on them but you can use a little warm water on them when you reapply them and that might help as well.

Yes. On a hot day, you're back will sweat regardless of what they're installed on. I have regular plush fabric and they still cause me to sweat. But I do like them. My only complaint is they fade and stretch over time. But for the price, it is a great product. For the cleanest looking application, I would remove the head rests, install the covers without the headrests, cut small holes in the top for the headrest bars, the put the headrests over the covers. Looks more clean and the covers last longer.

Honestly I haven't used them to sweat crazily, but I do use them doing yard work n stuff like that n love them enough to buy two pairs. One to get dirty n one to watch movies with in my house. I think they will be fine, I love mine!

Lol it gets a lil sweaty but they stay pretty secure as long as u have them tucked behind ur ears well. B-). Ive used mine on the treadmill for about an hour n mine stood in place without any slipping and or falling off. Hope this helped.
