Hollywog WiTouch Pro TENS Machine for Back Pain Relief, Includes 3 Pair of Reusable Gel Pads

Purchased for husband who had degenerate lumbar in lower spine. He’s absolutely chuffed to bits with it. The pain management is superb compared to previous cheaper versions purchased from the likes of pharmacy. He was initially concerned the middle battery compartment would be big and uncomfortable but apparently it’s not in the slightest. The Bluetooth connection to an app on his phone is easy to use and so much easier than wired versions. Only one downside is the need for a screwdriver to change the batteries. A usual clip version like on a remote control would have been sufficient or if they are concerned with batteries possibly coming out during use maybe a twist type security lock instead? Having to have a tool with you to change the batteries is a bit of a faff if you’re out. The unit is spot on for what he needed though and it was worth paying more this time. Exceedingly good item, I couldn’t be more pleased with this order.

That it is easy to use and portable can slip the item into a handbag

I bought this several years ago, loved it and never needed it again until now. Pinched nerve lumbar. Even the adhesive still works. It’s GREAT and on the settings 1-15, I’m good with it only being on 3. Definitely a big bang for your buck and NO complainants.

This is my SEVENTH week with back pain. I have no idea how I hurt my back - I think that I strained it and it just got worse the more I tried to push through the discomfort. I tried deep tissue and trigger point massages; went through five bottles of BioFreeze Professional; prescription Lidocaine patches and pain meds; a cheap ($40) TENS unit; nerve block injections. I also bought an eight-hour ice pack to pit on, a new desk chair, and a lumbar support cushion. The pain just kept coming back. Out of desperation, I searched Amazon for back pain relief and this popped up. I ordered it early last night (after looking to see if I could but it locally - nope). When I got home from work, it was waiting for me. The most difficult part for me was getting the box open. I thought that it was just a sleeve that covered the box, nope. So I ripped it to shreds and opened it up. Other than the "sleeve", beautiful packaging. I had already downloaded the app, and the battery setup and pairing instructions were pretty straightforward. I've been using it on it's highest level for the past three hours (with 15 minute breaks between as recommended), and it feels amazing. I was really skeptical that two AAA batteries could pack a punch but - yup. I bought pads and they will arrive tomorrow, but I am SO happy that this gem arrived with three sets of pads. I haven't taken the pads off but they are really adhering and I've been sitting, moving around making dinner, walking the dog, etc., and they haven't slipped or budged. Now I know that the $40 TENS unit I first bought is crap - it wouldn't hold a charge and it hurt as if I were being stabbed with a sharp fork. It hurt more than it helped. THIS unit has exceeded my expectations. I'll update in a few weeks. I am especially interested to see how it performs tomorrow at work (I walk several blocks between a parking garage and building, in 90* weather). So far, I do NOT regret this purchase.

Works well. Good value compared to alternatives.

I’ve been using the Wi-Touch Pro TENS unit for several years now and I’m very happy with its performance. I noticed a couple of reviews that I wanted to respond to in case others are reading and considering this product. First, regarding the gel pads—one reviewer mentioned that they’re only good for a single use. That hasn’t been my experience at all. If you follow the instructions and leave the gel pads attached to the unit and cover them with the provided plastic protectors after each use, they remain sticky and effective for multiple sessions. I’ve been able to reuse mine several times before needing replacements. Second, someone mentioned the unit should have a usage log so you know when you can use it again. While a log might be a nice feature, it’s worth noting that each session automatically runs for 30 minutes, and you can immediately restart it for another 30-minute session if needed. There’s no enforced cool-down period—you’re in control of how many sessions you run in a row. Hope this helps anyone considering the unit. It’s a solid device once you get familiar with how it works!

I have several ruptured disks in my lower back and in the middle of my back, some of which have been surgically repaired. I have used these for years! While on vacation, I realized I neglected to pack my older one that works with a remote, so I ordered a new one, to find I have more control using their app on my phone (the new one). I’m tempted to purchase another one so I didn’t have to have a separate remote (but I’m not sure if I can control two using the same app on my phone.) Admittedly, it takes a bit to get used to it, but is one of the best ways I’ve found to deal with the pain, other than narcotics (that I refuse to take for more than a day or so).
