Keep Your TENS Pads Fresh

TENS machine pads help relieve pain. But over time, they collect dust and oils. Cleaning them the right way keeps them sticky and safe.

Simple Cleaning Steps

Start by unplugging the pads. Do not soak them in water. Instead, use a damp cloth. Gently wipe the gel side to remove residue.

Avoid alcohol or soap. These can damage the pad’s surface. Let the pads air dry before storing. If they lose stickiness, rinse briefly with cool water.

Extend the Pad’s Life

Proper cleaning extends use. Pads made by a pad machine often include gel layers. These need extra care to stay effective.

When not in use, store the pads in their plastic film. Keep them in a cool place. Never fold or press them against hard surfaces.

Replace When Needed

Even clean pads wear out. If the gel breaks down or doesn’t stick, replace them. Machines that make sanitary pads follow strict hygiene rules—use the same care with your TENS pads.

Clean pads mean better results. Treat them right, and they’ll last longer.
