We are often asked what to buy when it comes to electrostim units and accessories. We design and create a wide range of power boxes, an even wider range of electrodes and when it comes to adaptors, cables and all the ancillary items it can become seriously confusing.
Now we don't know everything but we do have some experience as we have been using, manufacturing and marketing our own range of E-Stim equipment professionally since 2004, so we do have some ideas as to what works and what doesn't.
E-Stim or electro stimulation, (sometimes also referred to as 'estim','electroplay' or even 'electrosex'), is simply the use of electricity applied to the human body in such a way to produce a pleasurable (normally!) sensation. The levels of stimulation and the methods of generation all combine to produce a unique experience far surpassing anything produced by any funny colored vibrator, especially ones named after cute furry animals.
Equipment available on the market today is either TENS based units (the medical use of E-Stim for pain relief) or made for play dedicated units. TENS units are designed to reduce pain and sensation and will always be inferior to 'made for play' E-Stim units. We produce a range of safe versatile made for play equipment, that far surpasses its competitors both in functionality and price, and all of our staff actively play with our equipment, both in research and development terms and in their personal lives. So when we offer advice its from personal knowledge and experience. We try to offer guidance as everyone's E-Stim experience is going to be different.
E-Stim equipment is basically two items. The power box, and an electrode. Everything else is considered to be ancillary, but important nevertheless. (Batteries, cables, conductive gel etc.)
We could suggest you buy everything at once, but a more realistic approach is to purchase a power box and an electrode and enjoy the learning experience. Then gradually, as your experience and knowledge increases you buy more.
Power boxes are the bit of equipment that generates all the fun. We currently produce 5 units, all designed to complement each other.
If you are looking for a starter unit then the ElectroHelix is the one we would suggest. It's flexible and versatile and not too complex. But it has the power and controllability levels that even a professional will find a space in their play box. |
The ElectroPebble® is a true players unit. If you want a powerbox that is easy to use and just works, then the ElectroPebble® should be your choice. |
The 2B represents the ultimate when it comes to E-Stim Equipment. If you are looking for the most advanced unit on the market, then the 2B should be top of your shopping list. |
If you are seeking the remote control aspect then obviously the Remote fits the bill. Ideal for controlling the wayward maid, or the errant 'pony' (as proved by its popularity on many TV shows around the world) |
Lastly we come to our new ABox Mk2. The ABox Mk2 is still the only dedicated sound driven E-Stim unit on the market, offering audio driven E-Stim. A single channel dual output unit, that uses sound to generate the output. With a built in adjustable sensitivity microphone and the ability to use external sources (MP3 players etc), as well as a bright level control and step less output adjustment, the ABox Mk2 puts voice or music controlled E-Stim into the playroom. Not just using the amplitude (loudness) of the sound, but also the frequency (tonal nature) the ABox Mk2 is flexible, versatile and unique.
The ABox Mk2 is unique. We wouldn't recommend it as a starter unit, but if you already have our equipment and are looking for something more, or if you have experience with audio stimming then the ABox is certainly a good choice. |
Nearly all of our E-Stim packs are shipped with a pack of 4 reusable sticky pads, and the necessary cable to connect them, giving you the ability to start to play as soon as you get home (or even before). The only exception is the 2B Pro Pack which is designed to cater for users who already have some E-Stim toys.
Electrodes are to a certain extent a very personal choice, and that choice is dictated by cost and anatomy. We offer a higher specification Premium Insertable range that covers a number of sizes and designs. Our premium range of electrodes are manufactured by us in our own workshops in the UK from solid metal alloy bar stock, and assembled with medical/food grade polymers and stainless steel fittings. We don't believe in cheap chrome plating or thin tinfoil contacts so we don't use then. The connectors are heavyweight 4mm with the sockets drilled directly into the conductors. And they all come with a lifetime guarantee.
The majority of our premium range of electrodes have contact points top and bottom. We have found this offers a more natural feeling when the electrode moves within the body as well as offering the optimum size of contact area. Some electrodes have contacts on the side, some on the top and bottom. some have a flanged or flared base to ensure they don't go in too far, others are designed to be simply big.
Why No Rings? We don't stock thin steel cock rings. Although they exist on the E-Stim market we have always found they never fit correctly, (or they do when fully erect, but fall off 5 minutes later) |
Add conductive Gel to any surface based electrodes (apart from the sticky pads) and the fun really begins. Conductive Gel decreases the resistance and makes any power box more effective. |
Hopefully this have given you a taste for Electroplay, and some idea as to what to buy. If you are still confused, or you want to ask more then please don't hesitate to give us a call, or send us an email or try our online chat system. We would love to hear from you.
