Middle pad: It doesn't seem to be as strong is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

I'll be a decent person, and advise you and everyone else how to use this device correctly. I've been using EMS/Tens units for years, and after learning the proper techniques, I can offer the following advice. #1. Wipe your sides, and stomach off with alcohol swabs to rid your body of dirt, oils, and other oils. #2. Unless your using electrode gel (Spectra 360 Gel $5.50 each on amazon), you are wasting your time on the product. Using electrode gel on your stomach & the pads, will make the 80 settings feel twice as strong as the 99 setting without the gel. I'm using the same belt as you, on 99 setting with the gel I feel my entire stomach contract, and send extremely strong shocks of ems into my stomach. *This greatly increases the sensation of your pad not working in the stomach area. #3. Please clean your gel pads with rubbing alcohol or hand santizer, & clean your Parker Spectra 360 Electrode Gel 250 Gram Tubeplastic covers with windex; pads will be able to be used for 60-90+ days doing this.

No, that seemed to be ok. It should feel stiff. With use it should get easier to use.

Hi there. I've had some form of this technology for a bunch of years now and I think it's awesome and easy, but to answer your question, most of these cases and pads have magnets in so you you know exactly where to lay it down. So to answer the question it has to be touching. I'm sorry I made this a long reply and I hope it makes sense. Take care. John

I don't use pads, but my board is cracking, maybe the pad would have help it to not crack as bad

The pads are pressure sensitive,unless you have very strong fingers I don't recommend.

It's likely that Your upper track is not level to the bottom track. I would re-hang the upper track leaving enough room so that there's a bit of play - you have to be careful though - if it's too spread it'll bind as well.

I have found it is more of a technique issue as opposed to a brute strength issue. I can pop it off in under a second...but I've gotten used to doing it. Just practice doing a "press & pull", it'll smooth out!

Can't say more than what the other people who have already replied said. It's just a thin little pad. I would highly recommend grabbing one of the other pads here on Amazon to place on top. There is a nice $18~ one that has around 1k reviews.The pad that comes with this is a nice gesture but I wouldn't rely on it.

A big dip DID develop in the middle, but I had the person who helped me assemble this over and we figured out what we did wrong. We only put the cover over the MATTRESS and it should go over the metal below, if that makes sense. We fixed it two months ago and it is staying put. Haven't noticed one side being firmer than the other--they are both the same. I can see where, over time, the side that you actually sit on as a couch getting worn out and less firm, but this hasn't happened yet.

I had the same issue before. Haven't even given it a thought since I put on the Bamboo pad. So I guess my answer is no.

stick the pads on another location so u can hit a nerve, or maybe turn it up higher. I had to turn the pin on extra high and find a nerve. So maybe that's the same with the pads

I felt that the whole thing slid around a lot so I got that grippy shelf liner stuff at the dollar store and put that under it. That helped a ton.However in my opinion it's not the pad that needs to be secure...it's the wiggly baby! The dresser I had it on was very high. As soon as my son started sitting up at about 5.5 months I put the pad on the floor. I wasn't taking any chances! It's been there ever since!

No, sorry. I've only been using the original but agree it's not great....needs more padding. I've been thinking about how I can add some but haven't done anything yet.

Not really... This pad creates a little resistance to the mouse movenent.... Honestly.... Don't buy it!!

The pad I have doesn't sink in any farther than the weight you put on it. It is very firm.

I also have the same issue. I purchased this last June and worked through the summer. Now both pads are rock hard.

the pad that I have is maybe 1 1/2" thick but I don't ever remember seeing anything about the firmness??? sorry
