@Achromatter If they’re anything like the one my wife uses, it’s a gel adhesive pad and can be rinsed off (or wiped clean with a damp cloth) and reused
I fact checked this device and discovered the pads alone sell for twice the price meh is selling this dog… Dog? Rag? Piece of rip-off… Whatever… However I found a similar product at Ebay for $3.01 (bubble wrap) or $3.61 (boxed) still don’t know how much the replacement butterfly pads would cost even if you could find them (much more searching needed). So I wondered, how come this thing sells for (1) $399.00… (2) $39.95 [at another store]… (3) $18.00 here at meh and (4) $3.01 -
$3.61 at Ebay? [BMMEM] (I hope this works)… Bottom line, this to me is a come on (not meh’s fault) to get you to buy this so you would be forced into buying their ridiculous butterfly replacements… I think I’ll Pass the impulse (better than passing gas I presume).
Meager evidence of effectiveness for anything except diabetic neuropathy. But easy to use (and stop using), and side effects rarely include “coma and death.” YLSMV (Your Lifespan May Vary) if you have a pacemaker or arrhythmia…
I wonder how much stun gunny goodness you can get out of a button cell battery?
FWIW I had a genuine prescription TENS device for a while. I think it ran on a 9 volt. All it did was make me feel like I was being electrocuted. That was also my experience with an implanted spinal stimulator trial. Contrary to the marketing of these devices, my nerves can transmit “I am being electrocuted” and “I am in excruciating pain” signals at the same time.
Some people swear by them but they did not work for me.
EMS is Electrical Muscle Stimulator. My doc had me use a TENS and and EMS following an injury. They were two separate devices, they work two separate ways, and use two different frequencies/amplitudes. The EMS was to maintain the muscle until the nerve started working again. It causes muscle contractions. The electrodes has to be very specifically placed to influence particular muscles. I would imagine forced contractions of the muscles of the lower back would be unpleasant.
@Wimateeka Tens are amazing for lower back pain and uterine cramps that go along with menstruation. I’ve used a tens there and it feels great if I’m hurting there.
I bought two of them and one never worked and the other stopped working right away. I tried to get a response to get a replacement and no one ever responded.

@jake5snooze implying that women are things to be bought and sold ain’t cool broski
@Lazarpandar I thought he was referring to her applying the massager to her magic button.
@yakkoTDI oh haha could have been that, too
Nice tramp stamp
This is quite possibly the most shocking purchase I made today. And it feels Meh…
MEH & MEH
FIDGET SPINNER BATTERIES
@username holy shit well you sealed the deal for me
That is a nice back.
What is the product today? I seem to have missed it.
@khearn A butterfly stimulator. Not this one, though.
@Brasssong What’s that bowling pin doing in the middle of the US flag bow?
I can only find the replacement stickers on the IQ site and they are $30! What a bummer.
Are the butterfly sticker things reusable, or are they one use only?

@capguncowboy Thanks! I was wondering the same thing
@Achromatter - Also you can inexpensively buy a tube of electrode gel to extend the useful life of the pads, if it works like regular TENS.
@getupandlaugh But you could buy a dozen of them, plus the device here, and still pay less than the “retail” price for just the device there.
Or you could buy them here for $18 and get extra devices as a bonus!
The device has the snaps on it. Once the butterfly is no longer usable, the regular tens pads should fit. So not completely useless.

But can I use it to ignite steel wool?
@Pantheist yes, but not to melt steel beams
But does it really catch fish?
Self imposed stun gun. Nothing more.
Not one word anywhere if it’s actually effective for its intended use… that’s telling. Hard pass.
Cool looking remote control on the IQ website…I’m guessing I won’t be getting that? Hmmmm, the remote must cost about $381 bucks!

@Garfield43 turn the power down!
Ahh… remember this band… memories!

@auctoritas l was just pointing out what EMS was, and how l doubt that this device truly functions in that manner.
wonder if it can be used as a sex toy
@sushi23 most things can be if you have a good enough imagination.
@sushi23
Rule 34, amiright? right?
I found this to be a useless device. Sorry I purchased this useless device. Don’t waste your money
I bought two of these and only one of them worked and it quit after about 5 uses
I bought two of them and one never worked and the other stopped working right away. I tried to get a response to get a replacement and no one ever responded.
@Sdunphy4
Did you ever check your spam folder?
I know that seems obvious, but…
