Safety & Who Shouldn't Use EMS

Electrical muscle stimulation is not for everyone, and any company that hides this is telling you something. We'd rather you read it before you buy.

Do not use EMS if you:

• have a cardiac demand pacemaker or any implanted electronic device
• are pregnant, or think you might be — safety during pregnancy has not been established
• have a diagnosed or suspected heart condition, or epilepsy — speak with your doctor first
• have metal implants in the treatment area
• have broken, irritated, or infected skin, or areas of reduced or absent sensation, in the treatment area
• have cancerous or pre-cancerous lesions in the treatment area

How to use it safely

• Never place the pads over your neck, mouth, chest across the heart, or head.
• Start at the lowest intensity and increase gradually. Burns and sharp sensations on cheap devices almost always come from dry pads at high intensity on a first session.
• Make sure the gel pads are in good condition and making full contact with the skin.
• Do not use while driving, operating machinery, in the bath or shower, or while asleep.
• Stop and speak to a professional if you feel pain, dizziness, or anything beyond a firm muscle contraction.

Postpartum

Most women wait until they have been cleared at their six-week postpartum check before starting any muscle stimulation. If you are experiencing pain, a diagnosed pelvic floor condition, or prolapse, talk to your provider before you begin.

If you're not sure

When in doubt, ask your doctor before your first session. It's a five-minute question and it's worth asking.

EMS is a wearable muscle stimulator intended to strengthen and engage muscle. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.
