If there's only 2 pads, what can you do if you have 3 or 4 places that hurt at the same time?

I'm afraid each unit is only able to power two pads, and both pads must be used to complete the circuit across the tissues. You have to do each ache separately.

According to my understanding to this product instructions you can use it up to 3 times a day each 15 mins! so, you pretty much can cover most of the areas.

I use the two pads on my left shoulder for 15 minutes then I remove them and put them on my lower back for 15 minutes. They can be used up to 30 minutes on one spot

You will need to move the pads to the new area. There is no ability to connect more than 2 pads at a time.

After receiving your question I had to find out myself. So I connected one pad and found it does work with one but not as intense as both. I can that it to its maximum with one but not with both. Hope this helps!

You can use the pads over again if you stick them to the little plastic pieces when you're done with a session. You can also refresh the pads if you wash them with your finger and a little soap and water.

Yes you could, or just use one set, I usually use the large ones on my shoulders, and the small ones on my hands and feet, I bought this for my back, make sure that you don't put the pads on your spine, I love this little machine.

Yes, after the blood is cleaned up. Otherwise you would be changing the pad often.

I just use it where it's painful. For the calf, use a smaller suction cup and apply some oil, then more the cup around to where you feel pain and pause there.

Place pads above and below the target area as electric pulses go from pad to pad. (eg. knee pain: place 1 pad on thigh above the knee cap, place the other pad on shin just under the knee cap.) Never touch the pads when the unit is ON. Place the unplugged pads on the body, plug them in the unit, turn dial to 1 or 2, press one of the function keys to start, turn up dial or select another function key. Search How To videos on Youtube. Apply yourself or get a helper if in an area you can not reach. $24.95 for 40 pads, search SantaMedical Pads on Amazon.

Well I just tried mine tonight. I had HORRIBLE luck. Make that no luck. Where I get amazing and great feeling results with the standard 2 by 2 inch on all 4 modalities (tens, IF, EMS, Micro) each and every one of these felt like garbage except the tens alone and even IT felt restrained and "shocky". I will try again tomorrow with different positioning. I had them run vertically tonight and very VERY high since I had applied expensive Penetrex Pain Cream on my lower lumbar area and had to stay above that. Will lower the pads tomorrow but NO way I will try horizontal (even with the electrode gap in the middle) as I have 6 fusions. NO way I will risk going near all the Titanium in my spine.

2 pads can with and we wash them in the washer after every use. However you could probably rinse them.

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

for the most part it depends on the pads...name brand pads usually fit three of the four sides. the no name brands seem to fit better and fit all four sides

You can only use pads, but I do not recommend this product. It is very flimsy and the boiling water spilled and seriously burned my skin. TERRIBLE product!

make sure the pads are connected properly. When you increase the the amount of the current it will "tighten" you muscle and actually draws your bottom up, I only use it when I'm laying down watching T.V. I found that I've had to change the pads more often then was implied on the comment section, but I do move the pads over a little prior to finally switching them for new ones. What I mean is where the indentation is on the pad, I move it over enough that there is a fresh part of the pad to have connection. if you still feel like you are feeling "zapped" or like there are needle poking you, get new pads. make sure the pads are connected properly.

The pads plug into the connecting wires and the wires plug into the top of the unit. There are TWO SETS OF WIRES so you can actually use four pads at a time.

You can use just 2 in smaller areas. You can use all 4 in a larger area, or use 2 in one area and 2 in another area.
