Do these pads require gel or are they pre-coated?

They are pre-coated and seem to last longer than the others I've used. Hope this helps.

Yes you can buy gel pads for this seat. They add comfort and help reduce the feeling of pressure on the back of thighs. Luxury Gel Pads - Fits Hobson Easyseat and Easy Seat II Bicycle Seats

The pads don't need any gel and wouldn't work as well with it. You'll want more pads which can be purchased from Amazon.

I have not been cleaning the gel off and it works well still. After a couple of weeks the gel will turn into a glob which you can pull off and re-gel or just change your pads.

No. You need the pads. The gel will prolong the life of the pads and provide improved contact and current conduction to the body. Better results!

Hi, the only information on the package is that they are "hydrogel" pads. According to Wikipedia " hydrogels are highly absorbent (they can contain over 99.9% water) natural or synthetic polymers.". Those pads have a look and feel of very soft silicon. Hope it helps.

Not to my knowledge. I did quite a bit of online research myself prior to purchasing, even called an Akebono retailer. For the price, these pads are amazing, however I've only had mine on my vehicle for a few months so it's hard to tell how they perform over time and use.

No pads required - They're washable. I just bought 3 of them and switched them out with the washing machine!EDIT: I should mention ours were for the dog in heat, so volume itself was low.

The pads are made of a rough plastic-like (but not plastic) substance. I used them alone. I do not think they need any other solvent. I just put them in the toilet and started scrubbing. As I said in the review they worked great but did not last for more than one use (I did have a major water ring to work on).

Most likely synthetic. But they're still far more comfortable than tock pads. Have been using mine daily for quite a while now and still LOVE them. Have a great day!

Pads aren't needed with the pen, but you must use an adequate amount of electrode gel. Just apply the gel to the areas you want to use the pen and it should work. Both my daughter and I use Spectra 360 Electrode Gel, it's salt free and hypoallergenic. Hope this helps.

I honestly don't remember. But the pads are great and I never regretting buying them. Other pads just didn't work as well.

You do not need gel for the pads I received with my unit, they are already "sticky". I do not know what "water activated" means, unless something has changed since I got mine...sorry.

No they are not coated, they are a bit powdery but they are not large. I do not have a problem getting them down.

No gel pad that I know of but I think I just saw somewhere recently where there is a different version of this for bare feet.

Tan pads or felt pads should do the job. Remember to clean the remaining wax from the pads with hot water so that they are ready for use again when dry.

Hello!These pads just come by themselves, already sticky. They usually last for around a few months with me. If they start not sticking, all you have to do is rinse the pad underneath cold water, and let them air dry. They will be really sticky again.They will wear out eventually, but this method works for a long time. =)
