Choosing the right TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) pads is crucial for effective pain relief and comfort during therapy. Both hypoallergenic and standard TENS pads have their benefits, but understanding the differences can help you make the best choice for your skin type and pain management needs.

What Are Standard TENS Pads?

Standard TENS pads are the most common electrodes used with TENS devices. They are designed to provide effective electrical stimulation for pain relief and are compatible with most TENS units. These pads typically feature durable adhesive and gel that allows for strong conductivity and reliable performance.

If you use a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) device for pain relief, you know how important the right pads are for both comfort and effectiveness. For people with sensitive skin, regular TENS pads can sometimes cause irritation, redness, or even allergic reactions. That’s where hypoallergenic TENS pads come in.

What Are Hypoallergenic TENS Pads?

Hypoallergenic TENS pads are specially designed electrodes that minimize the risk of skin irritation. Unlike standard TENS pads, they are made from materials that are gentle on sensitive skin, often latex-free and free from harsh adhesives or chemicals that can trigger allergic reactions.
