TENS units (short for Trans-cutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator) are devices designed to stimulate nerve endings without breaking the skin. Originally designed as a method to relieve pain, sadists have adopted TENS units as a form of electrical pain. TENS units are able to cause anything from mild, barely noticeable trembling to agony in the subject depending on the setting.
Another form of electrical play are Violet Wands.

TENS Dos

To keep your TENS unit in proper shape always:

* Make sure it is properly connected to the electrical outlet (some units need to be grounded, others don t. Do not use adapters to run units with ground connectors on ungrounded outlets).
* Make sure the pads are in good shape, replace them if necessary
* Store unit in dry places.
