“It works great. Battery lasts. Many options. Only thing is if you don't like the setting youre on, when you goto the next option for massages, the intensity goes back to zero. Then you increase the amount of energy, each one is a little different, you end up overshooting. Once you've got the settings it's fantastic”
“Im currently breastfeeding my 4th baby and have been having aches and pains from my poor posture while breastfeeding. I tend to get a lot of pain in my neck and upper back. My sister recommended this machine and I am so glad she did. I've used it for a week and have found tremendous relief in the amount of pain I feel. I love the different type of massages options. They all feel unique and depending on my pain level some feel better then others. Also, adjusting the intensity helps offer more relief. There are many pads with different sizing and the stickiness feels like it will last a long time.”
“I don't typically write reviews but I felt I really needed to for this product. This unit changed my life during a flare up of back pain that kept me from even getting out of bed. I was so excited because I was using those crappy ones from walgreens with the small pads and require batteries. I am going to start with my only complaint: the wires are very long, and for my use, I have to wrap them a ton of times in order to put it in my pocket and not have a wire hanging out.​Here is what I love:1. It is usb rechargeable, and the screen will tell you when the battery is low. It does not take long to recharge either2) it has so many choices. Each channel can have 2 different sticky pads on them at a time, allowing you 4 to place all over your back if needed. Then, there are 10 different sensations and you can change the intensity. Because there are two pads to one channel, that means you can have two of them doing one sensation at a higher intensity, and have the other at a different sensation or intensity.3. As long as you put in the effort, these sticky pads last "forever." Clean your skin with water or rubbing alcohol because it removes loose skin cells and excess oil. Then when they are off, wipe down the sticky side with water, typically finger tips is all it takes but sometimes a wash cloth, just to get off any residue. Finally it's VERY important that you put the pad back onto the plastic sheet and flatten it out completely or parts of it will dry out weird and lose efficacy4. Within just a few minutes, I am able to move around again. I know that these types of machines have been being used on guys on youtube to simulate giving birth or even just as a stupid punishment in a challenge and they freak out and say it hurts too much. Don't listen to them. When used correctly and as a tool to help, not harm, you will love it. If it does hurt you, you either need to change the settings, the location of the pad, or there is something wrong with the product itself and you should reach out to auvon, which leads me to my last note5) Auvon has amazing customer service. You have the 12th month warranty when you get the product. But in September, a year and 9 months after I bought mine, it had dropped from my counter and onto the floor and the screen broke. I contacted their customer service directly by email, provided pictures of my unit, and the receipt of when I purchased it. Not only did they immediately agree to send me a new one, they provided me with tracking information, the package got here very quickly, and they checked in a few days later to make sure I got it. 5 stars for sure.”

“Most will have what can, at the very least, be described as a basic understanding of what this device is. With even this absent, though, as it is referred to as a TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device, well, it becomes a little easier to ascertain this by analysing the meaning of its name as well as observing the overall look of it.Primarily, the TENS is a gadget used to send what are measured doses of electric current through the skin in an effort to stimulate any nearby nerves with the aim of achieving relief from pain, such as that resulting from overexertion in sport, or even pain characteristic of menstruation or conditions such as arthritis. As shown in the pictures, the process involves the use of the machine as well as any corresponding leads connected to it onto which are installed sticky pads. It is through these pads, which will be pressed onto the skin of the chosen points of the body, into which electric pulses will ultimately be sent and, as the official NHS website suggests, cause the user “a tingling sensation'.The official NHS website actually seems to be a quite good resource to learn about the use of TENS, explaining that “electrical impulses can reduce the pain signals going to the spinal cord and brain, which may help relieve pain and relax muscles[, and that they] may also stimulate the production of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers'.Interesting and important to note perhaps is that, according to the NHS, “[there's] not enough good-quality scientific evidence to say for sure whether TENS is a reliable method of pain relief[, and that more] research is needed and clinical trials are ongoing.' At this point, TENS is believed to help at least some individuals (That is, TENS will not be suitable for everyone in terms of reducing pain.), but just how much it will will depend upon the individual, as well as the condition that it is being used to treat which, I suppose, is fairly reasonable. One could always spend a little time online researching their particular condition(s) and the level to which using a TENS machine has helped others, though always keeping in mind that a variety of factors may come to affect the ultimate outcome for each and every person.Anyways, very unsurprisingly, this product comes with a small laundry list of both suggestions and warnings, and rightfully so – it's certainly not a toy.One of the suggestions involve having a discussion first with your GP before getting involved with a TENS, which seems like sensible advice, though admittedly not advice that I have taken myself. I have had back issues off and on throughout my life, and likewise have had undiagnosable issues with my hands and wrists similar to carpal tunnel for over a decade, and so found it difficult not to want to try such a gadget for myself finally to see if it could make any sort of a difference for me. In effect, last night was my first time ever trying a TENS, and I used it on both of these areas, though I obviously cannot comment so very soon as to whether or not it has actually helped. Besides, I'm pretty certain that I hurt myself more than I helped myself trying to familiarise myself with any buttons and what a certain move felt like, including by increasing the intensity – probably excessively at times, especially for a first time user. I'm having a difficult time discerning as to whether the ache in my back is exclusively from the use of the TENS, or having moved around furniture or been in poor position that very same day.I can immediately say, though, that this is a neat little gadget that comes to you neatly packaged along with any required parts and accessories. The gadget itself arrives covered in clear plastic sticker to help preserve it, as protection from scratches and grubby fingers, etc, but this can be removed, of course. The instructions provided are fairly useful, or at least the device isn't overly complex. I mean, I actually have short term memory problems, but I was able to figure things out quite quickly after having read over the instructions and then coupled this with a little trial and error.I feel like the instructions could have probably been written a little better as far as ease of reading, ie. being “dumbed down,' though. In particular, I might refer to the way the different modes are listed between the instructions provided and the keypad of the device. Whereas on the instructions they are numbered 1-24, with each given a name (such as tapping, acupuncture, etc), on the device you are meant to cycle through each mode, with each having 4 different options. Basically, it's a bit confusing – maybe it would be more helpful to have put a graphic of the device's front, with all of the modes as well as their options visible. A little information on what modes are best for what (For example, information sharing which mode and option is best for what kind of pain, like lower back pain. So, there's kneading, acupuncture, etcbut what kinds of pains do these best address?) could really be helpful, I think. There seems to be an assumption here that everyone will be educated in these things and I'm just thinking that, if this kind of information is provided outright, we can get the most benefit from the device and, in turn, gloat about this to our friends and family (LOL), which may ultimately lead to an increase in sales, and so on and so on, so everyone would ultimately benefit. Another slightly annoying thing is that, if you accidentally skip the pulse that you wanted to select and use, you must cycle through them all over again instead of being able to just go back and select it. Not only does it require a lot more physical effort to do this, but you're putting that button under so much additional stress, especially if this is a common occurrence. Who's to say that the button does not become worn out, malfunction, etc.Before I forget, the instructions provided say that we should limit any 1 part of our body to just 20 minutes of the TENS a day. So, we should use the device on a particular spot for no longer than 20 minutes a day, though, we can instead put it on a different spot if we would like to use it again on the same day. The NHS website does not describe any such limitation, claiming instead that “[you] can use TENS throughout the day for as long as you like,' just so long as this is not done whilst 'driving, operating machinery, or in the bath or shower'. At the same time, they point out that what they are providing is a general guide on how to use the device, and that you should always follow the instructions provided specifically by the manufacturer of the TENS in question.It seems like it could be most beneficial to, if possible, seek the assistance and advice of a specialist when using something like this, as they could best explain the device, what it is doing to your body, what could potentially cause your body harm and what it will ultimately do to it should it come to that. I mean, using myself as an example, I have a somewhat higher pain tolerance so am probably a little less bashful about setting up the device so that it is giving me much stronger pulses without really giving myself a proper slow, scaling introduction to them. While I can tolerate this at the time, I admittedly don't know what effect this has had on my body – I can't know that the reason that my back is feeling a bit stiff and achy the day after first having used it isn't so much about having pushed my quite large bedroom furniture around for 2 days in a row, that I'd washed my bedroom walls twice, etc, but because I had exposed any nerves there to too much electricity too soon instead of getting myself accustomed to it slowly as was suggested in the instructions provided.This little kit is pretty portable. I would suggest getting a small pouch so as to keep all of its contents safely together but also separated to help prevent anything getting damaged.”
“I thought that this muscle stimulator looked like a good one until I tried to use it andI couldn't get it to work after trying it out on different members of my family.”
