A powerful TENS unit, posing as a gimmicky body slimming device.
This can be a very dangerous and TENS unit. It is not a slimming instrument. It is very much like the devices used in doctors and physical therapy offices. It comes with a less than adequate "manual", with over-the-top claims of making you slim and trim, increasing your bust size, among many other crazy things.<br />This should come with much better instructions, warnings, and contraindications. There are so many ways that you can use a TENS unit in the wrong way that is very dangerous and life-threatening. There is no mention of warnings or contraindications, whatsoever, in the hyped up "manual".<br />What my sensitive nerves experienced were unpleasant muscle contractions, along with zaps and zings to the point that I could not stand it. I can use a regular TENS unit on lower settings, but the "Instrument" I received is a bit unstable, and every electrode does not put out the same strength/intensity on the chosen stimulation mode. I used ultrasound gel and made sure the electrodes were well covered, but it didn't seem to make a difference. I still got zapped by one electrode or another. Maybe this machine is just too strong for my nerves. They are rather sensitive.<br />This might work as a very good TENS unit for some people, but I don't believe one word about it toning your body, making you lose weight, enhancing your breast or any other part of your body. Those are just outright lies. That is why they put hyphens in between such words in the listing.<br />Many people would love such a device for the relief of pain without being told it will help them lose weight, develop strong and beautiful breasts, and even prevent cancer, when it clearly will not. People who are in pain are desperate to relieve it without the use of medications. They would gladly buy a professional TENS unit, but who wants to buy a gimmick?<br />Sadly, this will not work for me, even as a TENS unit. I just wish that it were sold solely as such.
