Decrease the intensity to a more comfortable level. * The electrodes may be too close together. Reposition them to be at least 2 inches apart. * The electrode active area size might be too small. Replace the electrodes with ones that have a diameter no less than 2 inches. * Ensure the device is being operated per manual’s instructions. Please check the manual before use.

      Natalie RiveraAug 29, 2025
      If your skin becomes red, or you feel a stabbing pain while using Stim Personal Care Products, it could be due to several reasons. You may be using electrodes on the same site every time, so reposition the electrodes. If at any time you feel pain or discomfort, stop using immediately. Ensure the electrodes are securely adhered to the skin. The electrodes may be dirty or the surface of the electrode may be scratched, so replace them with new electrodes.
