Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this?

Is it useful to own one of these?

OMG just looked at Boots websites and there are tons of the buggers! Which ones are good?

Rent. I used mine with my first delivery, didn't bother again.

I had an Elle TENS which I think was brilliant, although no experience of any others.

I dont think that I even had it on the highest setting.

I bought mine and lent it to a couple of friends as well. I didnt rent because I procrastinated for too long so didnt have time to arrange a rental.

Thanks mrsmaidamess (good name btw). Where did you get it from? Do you think there is much difference in the different models?

So.. if you want to use one, sort out the rental so you dont end up having to buy one!

I bought one second hand, used it twice and lent it to friends then sold it on ebay, it only cost about £5 plus the cost of the pads.

" Hire from only £23.95 inclusive of p&p and free return postage with every rental"

That is very reasonable?
