one reviewer said that the pads on this pulse massager didn't stick well, only for one use. Has anyone else had this issue? Thank you.

The reviewer probably did not use them properly. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Clean skin thoroughly prior to each application of electrodes. Electrodes will not stick well if any lotion, oil make-up, dirt, etc. is left on the skin. Turn the massager off before you apply the electrodes to your skin. Insert the pins of the lead wire from the massager into the electrode wire connectors. To remove the electrodes from the protective liner, lift at the edge of the electrodes and peel from the liner; then apply firmly to the skin. Adhesion improves when electrodes reach skin temperature. To improve the life and adhesion of the electrodes, moisten the skin with a damp cloth prior to application.

Yes. Unfortunately, like all heating pads now, it goes off after a certain time. Thankfully, with this one it lasts an hour or two. Just love how we're all "protected" now because we're apparently too stupid to use things correctly. Sorry. Venting. :)

Have tried doing that. Can't tell if it helped. These days I change electrodes frequently enough (even though they're insanely expensive) that I don't need to worry whether they stick. I eliminate every stressor I can.

Just vibration + heat - various levels of both vibration & heat - Have had several types of foot massagers and this is the best we have had. Had a reflexology one just prior to this one and was one of the worst we have ever had - - plain discomfort ! ! Hope this answers your ? ?

I had the exact same experience as Liz. Customer service said replacement would be a case but lo and behold, 1 pad again :(Submitting for full refund now, avoid this item until it's fixed.

I use it personally and have only used it twice. So I am unable to answer this personally, but I do know a doctor and chiropractor who have been using it and not had a problem that I heard about. Maybe just a flaw in manufacture. Happens sometimes.

No I'm still using the pads that came with it and they still stick fine. I bought extra pads...but never used them. It's really a good little unit does very close to the ones at PT but smaller.

Did you scratch it? I have had mine for two years. I have used it at least once a week every week and never had it to stick. If it's not scratched and you are using Pam, I don't know. Sorry.

I just keep buying the pads when the sand paper goes flying. I think I am on my 3rd one. They most certainly do not hold up. Good luck finding one that lasts.. Janice

Yes! This has happened with every one of the pads I've used from this huge box. So frustrating!

I haven't had any problems with the velcro coming off. If anything I have a difficult time getting the pads to come off because they stick so well.

I only used the Wiesner clamp a few times, for two reasons. 1) Due to the design of the lower pad support, I could keep it on only about 3 hours. After that it became painful. 2) one time my normal movements caused the clamp to tighten up to a painful and probably dangerous level. I believe these problems can be fixed, but it will take some time and experimentation. I have switched to Dribblestop, which works well after you learn how to set it's size properly. I could write a pamphlet about that, but it was worth the trouble of figuring out how to use it.

Hi, I just got this question in my email box, so don't know if this will help. The Thumper is amazing. It really helps with my pain in minutes. I haven't tried any of the homedics massagers. A friend had the Thumper, tried it, and loved it. Good luck, hope you find something.

it may have too much dust on it to stick. clean the pad with a little soap and water and try it again
