Myth 3: Electro Play Will Electrocute You

Worries about electrocution are completely normal, but erotic e-stim devices are built to stimulate nerves in a safe and controlled way. They work similar to TENS machines used in physical therapy, delivering a low, safe current that feels stimulating but not harmful. This is very different from the dangerous shocks you might associate with electricity. It's important to gradually increase the intensity when using electrostimulation, adjusting to what feels right for your body rather than jumping to higher levels too quickly.

Myth 4: Electro Play Doesn't Feel Good

Some people may think electro play is only about pain, but that’s far from true. Many users describe e-stim sensations as deeply pleasurable and even orgasmic. Depending on how you place the electrodes and adjust the settings, you can enjoy anything from gentle teasing to intense, hands-free climaxes. Modern stimulators offer a wide range of patterns and sensations to suit every taste.

Myth 5: You Can Use Any Electrical Device

This is a dangerous misconception. Never use household or improvised electrical devices for electro play. Only purpose-built e-stim products are safe to use on the body. They are designed, tested, and regulated to provide safe stimulation. Anything else could cause serious injury, so stick to products made specifically for erotic use.

Myth 6: Electro Play is too complicated to set up

Electro Play might look technical at first, but most modern devices are designed to be very user-friendly. Once you understand where to place the pads or accessories, it’s as easy as plugging in your accessories, adjusting intensity and pressing start. Our stimulators even come with pre-set patterns and modes for different sensations, so you can just plug in and play.
