What is required to get the gel off your skin, after using it with the TENS unit pads? Is it water soluable? Does it leave sticky residue?

I have noticed no sticky residue. You only need to use the smallest amount of this product. I use a tiny drop and smear it around the pad. I have not noticed a residue when I remove the pads.

Yes does wash off with water . Not quick and easy, but yes. Trade off is : pain in but to clean vs better connectivity

You'll have to see if the gel still works; I don't know the shelf life... it probably depends on how it's been stored over the past year too. With regards to the cleanser pads, I just go wash my hands with soap & water and it works just as well.

It's really no big deal...I just use a golf tee or a tongue depressor, something I can dispose of after...the material is about the consistency of caramel sauce...it comes off your skin easily with hand cleaner...great stuff, as it stays sticky over time, doesn't dry up...

It's a sticky gel, if you put it on the electrodes, then you put the electrodes on you, squish it around and it will stick.

Mine did not sweat. I would contact Jarrow and complain. If it came with a dessicant in it, and you chose to remove it, you may have caused the problem. Many supplements nowadays come with a dessicant pod in it, such as many vitamin D gelcaps.

I was confused by this too, but it just means that these Gel base and top coats need to be soaked off. Use a cotton ball with pure acetone then wrap with a square of tin foil and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. That is how I was taught. I do know that they do make kits like "BMC UV Gel Nail Art Polish Acrylic Aluminum Nail Wrap Soaking Pad Remover Kit" but it is less expensive to just use acetone and tin foil. Do a search for the kit here on Amazon.

No you do not need gel. It just recommends you put a drop of water on the pads before adhering. That helps maintain the pad but is not necessary.

TPU and metal should surely stick well. Make sure the pad had been cleaned well with hot water and soap. Best to use even a scour pad to remove a thin layer from the gel. This will remove any oil as the gel itself is sticky throughout. Expose new gel.

Thanks I bought some and am going to try it out. My pads are getting worn out so I hope it helps. I should put the gell all over my core?

It is not a wet feel, but more like a mist. After you put it on, your skin is moist. It works very similar to what you are referencing about physical therapy. These pads work great. I have used them for years.

It leaves a sticky residue on my skin. I would not use this for skin. Try Cetaphil lotion if you have dry skin.

This is no a gel, this is a liquid with higher viscosity than that found in water. Allows the absorption to be fast and place itself (subcutaneously - under the skin) to start the healing process. Hope this helps.

Yes, it will "dissolve" but will turn the water into a gel-like consistency. It takes about 10-15 minutes to do this in a bit of water. I put it in purified water in a small dropper bottle and I use it just like a moisturizer. Works wonderfully! It absorbs and dries on your skin and makes it very smooth and soft feeling, and makes it more taut. I love it. You should make a small amount and only use for 7 days or so, since it will not have any preservative in it- according to what I have read.

It says that in order for you to reuse it you would need to rinse the gel off with water. I'm not confident that the stickiness would be enough for multiple use.

If you like the pad with much gel, this is good one. After using, carefully remove it and your skin look clean. the gel lasts several months of usage with me. I always rinse it under tape water and let it dry about 30 seconds then cover it with attached plastic (when it's still moist).

I haven't figured out how to open the device, however I have been able to recharge it multiple times. I have also had difficulty trying to find the electrode pads at a reasonable cost. Another way of sprucing up the gel is setting it in wet paper towels over night to self absorb rather than adding water which bunches up the gel!
