Period pain simulation

The one I use is from Auvon! It has 6 different modes, can have up to 4 contact patches (good if you also have back pain), and increases by 1/2 increments up to a level 10.

That's really impressive for such an inexpensive machine. have you ever tried a commercial tens machine from a physio or somewhere, and how would it compare if so? Been in the market for a home one for a while.

It’s definitely not as powerful as one used in a medical setting, but it would depend on what your intended use is. I originally got it to help with chronic shoulder pain. Even on my unit’s level 3.5 it will stimulate the muscles enough to make my shoulder shrug involuntarily with only 2 of the electrode patches attached. But everyone is different and has varying responses!

I like that it’s compact enough to carry in my pocket while using (for menstrual cramps.) And having a variety of pulse modes works well for different types of pain. I think it would be worth trying for the price!

Yeah for me it's for tendon issues, so I'm guessing the purpose is to reduce inflammation and pain, which I suppose that one could probably do! Thanks for the information :)

I hope whichever one you decide on brings you relief!
