This is a great unit and it's very easy to use, it comes with three different sizes of pads, and you get two pairs of the medium pads, a pair of large pads and a pair of small pads. I have used the medium ones several times now and I have yet had to wash them, because the adhesive is still really strong. I would suggest using it on clean dry skin, (no lotion, etc.) and the pads should last a while before you have to clean them, I usually have a session with this after I get out of the shower. The only downside that I have against this unit is that there is no setting for a constant current. They are all pulsating, some longer pulses than others. I find it rather strange and I don't know if it works as well as the other unit I used to have a long time ago. It had one mode it was on or off and you could control the power level of the current. This one seems pretty strong as far as currents go, I have been using it on the medium setting, anything above that gets painful. So if you like to use the high settings on the units this will work for you for sure. The pulsating will take some time to get used to, I find that the cupping one is more closely to the old steady current unit I had. Don't get me wrong this is a great unit, and for the price it's well worth it, but if you're looking for one that has a steady current like the older models did, this one doesn't offer that.
