I’d imagine if you put the red one in the right ear and white one in the left it might make some of these MEH deals bearable (don’t try that) (I’m serious)
@Fe2_O3 I have one. No sandals. It does sort of feel like a light, localized massage with some settings being more useful than others. Definitely feels weird and took a minute to get used to. Can’t use it past setting 2 to 3 because it gets painful.
a while back and it’s one of my favorite Meh purchases. At the time, I was suffering from some severe back pain for weeks on end. I was literally at a point where I’d try any modicum of voodoo to help me – I couldn’t even stand up straight.
So I got this. I can’t say if it was just coincidental timing, placebo effect or what, but after using it for 2 days I was better. Like, 100% better. I really feel like it fixed me. I think that’s specifically because my issue was muscular, and this just provided the right amount of stimulation to relax the muscles and offer me the relief I needed.
My wife uses it from time-to-time and also is a firm believer in that it makes her feel better.
TLDR: I love the one I have and swear by it. I have no opinion if adding sandals into the mix is sane or not.
@Fe2_O3
I’ve had one for many years. I find it most effective for stopping muscle spasms that lock you up like in the back. Many times you must stop the spasms before your body will start to heal. For other types of muscle pain I find that it has a numbing effect that lasts for an hour or more, depending on pain level. I’ve loaned it out to friends and they end up asking for it multiple times like it’s a drug.
@Fe2_O3@username@zachhh These were actually first used by therapists. When I injured my hand many years ago, they used one in my rehab. Back then they cost almost 10 grand.
I’m curious about the size of the shoes. My brother bought a cheap unit that came with sandals that look almost exactly the same. The sandals were pretty small. Granted they aren’t really meant for walking around…
Anyone ever here ever use any TENS for plantar fasciitis? I got it in my right foot & it is not getting better with conventional therapies. Do these TENS things actually help cure chronic pain problems?
I have not used one for planter fascitis but I wouldn’t say they help cure chronic pain problems. They do, however, help with pain. I have used a tens unit for multiple problems for many years.
@cinoclav Thanks for the advice & the link! I do have a “night splint” that I’ve been wearing for many months, but it really doesn’t fit right & I was considering getting another. At $18.50, time to buy!
@Joedetroit I’m not so sure any of them truly fit ‘right’ but this was close enough to keep my foot at the proper angle. There’s a fine line between keeping it tight enough to not move and overdoing it and putting too much pressure resulting in restricted blood flow. Once you find the sweet spot you won’t have to adjust it again. I do have the disadvantage of having giant calves so it made it more difficult to keep the lower leg strap snugged up. Regardless, it resolved the PF for me. Hope it helps!
I have one for back issues (herniated discs, sciatica) and it helps sometimes. I just don’t see why anyone would want that feeling in their feet. It’s like pulses of electricity… That does not sound relaxing to me. I’d prefer a soak in Epsom salt. If you have chronic foot issues this price is decent and worth a shot, I guess. And good for backup if needed in the future.
Were these used or refurbished? It didnt say in the description but mine didnt look new at all. The glue on the box was seperated, there was an empty bag in the box, the unit has makeup on it and the cables look used.
I tried to use mine this weekend after getting it. I let it charge on the wall plugin but after that it would immediately die. : ( I just wrote support to see what I can do.
Mine are DOA and Meh wants me to deal with the manufacturer directly. How very meh of Meh. I may have to institute one of my Kickstarter rules: Do not buy electronics on this site.
Also, these must be sized for Asian feet. I am a 10 and a half and the sandals are way too small, not that it matters for a non-working item.
I’d complain by mentioning their FAQ page which implies that Meh will replace or refund a DOA item.
Though their counterargument would probably be something along the lines of that this item clearly states that warranty service would be provided by the manufacturer.

@stinks Close enough.
@stinks I thought maybe you meant this quote:

This foots the bill tonight and might rub you the wrong way …
After reading that write up, I now feel like I have a lot more work to do. Dang, I need a massage.
Universally sized shoes make me think of OJ’s glove. “If does not fit, you must not forget” that there is no such thing.
At first I was all, “When did Publishers Clearing House get into merch?”
Then I saw the model number. The model number that is absolutely begging to be 1051337, or 1337105, if you know what I mean.

Anyone actually own a TENS Massager and find them useful, or not?
@Fe2_O3 it’s one of those things that if you really needed it, you’d already have it.
@Fe2_O3 @username Says Mr. Moneybags! What about those of us who need it who can only afford VMP???!!?!?
@Fe2_O3 @zachhh i meant medically speaking. doctor/phys therapist would have probably recommended it already
@Fe2_O3 I have one. No sandals. It does sort of feel like a light, localized massage with some settings being more useful than others. Definitely feels weird and took a minute to get used to. Can’t use it past setting 2 to 3 because it gets painful.
@Fe2_O3
Yes, I use them to manage a nerve disease. I’ve been waiting for another cheapo one to pop up so I can keep one at work.
@Fe2_O3 I got this one:

I bought a tens after hearing they helped with menstrual cramps and mine are debilitating. They help a lot.
@Fe2_O3-i don’t yet, but i hope i will. It’s worth $19 to find out. If not then maybe my Mom can enjoy them.
Screens on 3rd image look slightly different from others. Faux pas
Also shoes look a bit painful. Does electricity flow from one leg to the other via nards region?
/giphy nudge nudge wink wink
Wow… quite possibly the most useful, helpful, and enlightening writeup I’ve ever seen for a product. I’m impressed, and thank you!
Shocking!
/giphy shocking

It too me way too long to realize that the sandals are part of the product and not some confusingly unique bundle that Meh created.
@Willijs3 You just gave them the idea for next Saturday.
4 adhesive pads aren’t much. Are there universal replacement pads?
How long can this thing go on one charge?
Anyone ever here ever use any TENS for plantar fasciitis? I got it in my right foot & it is not getting better with conventional therapies. Do these TENS things actually help cure chronic pain problems?

@Khatton3 thanks. I want a cure! But maybe I’ll buy…
@Joedetroit Using one of these worked for me. I’ve had PF several times and this was the first and only thing to really work. It’s a bit awkward to sleep with at first but you get used to it.

Here come the ducks. Quack Quack Quack
I have one of these massagers (without the sandals) and we all love it. Seriously, these things work. I don’t know about the sandals, though.

Can’t tell if the “Solution A… Solution #2” thing was intentional, but it is funny!
Can anyone tell me if you can get replacement pads & if so,where??
@decoratedwarvet I’ve purchased many replacements for my tens device on Amazon.
@Noddy93- Thank You, Thank You Very Much!!
/giphy novelty-able-kingfisher
I’m married so this is the only chance I have at something rubbing my feet. Plus I’m already used to disappointment and empty promises! Easy purchase.
I’m game

These sandals had to have been made for like… size 5 feet.
@styloroc
Probably why.
Were these used or refurbished? It didnt say in the description but mine didnt look new at all. The glue on the box was seperated, there was an empty bag in the box, the unit has makeup on it and the cables look used.
@braveit1
They were listed as new
