“Recently I the 'EconoPADS' but the sticky gel came off one of them. Consequently, I had to then order the Premium PADS. It is a pity the gel did not last as long as expected.”
“Hi There do you have any advice on how to make the pads sticky for longer?
They seem to lose there stickiness very quickly and then won't stick the skin.
We religiously put the plastic cover back on them straight after use”
Hi Steve,
Thank you for your review.
Yes absolutely, this time of year especially the pads can dry out a little so we recommend putting a drop or 2 of water on them prior to applying the plastic cover to help them rehydrate.
We have also noticed that outside influences such as moisturisers or lotions and even oily skin types can cause the stickiness to deteriorate faster than expected. We have a product available called the PainPod Conductor Gel that will help prolong the life of the pads stickiness (they will still need to be replaced from time to time though).
We recommend when using this product to only use a small drop or 2 and spread it over the pad surface then let it air dry for 20-30 seconds - this should help it become a little more tacky and stick better to the skin. The gel should also help rehydrate the pads so you won't need to add any additional water.
The link to the product is below and I hope this helps!

“Pain Pod has made me active again. I have a bulged disc in my lower spine and am allergic to most pain medications. My life was all about living with pain. Pain Pod has meant I am now mostly pain free. Best money I have ever spent!!!!”
“My wife is using the Pain Pod 3 every day for the last seven weeks and hasn’t experienced any change. The pain in her legs are still there and she still has to go up several times during the night to move and stretch her legs”
Hi Franz, I'm sorry your wife is not experiencing any relief with the PainPod. I will shoot you through an email and perhaps we can organise a time for us to call you and try to help your wife.
“very easy to use wherever and whenever you want. Pain Pod has been a lifesaver for me as I have a chronic illness but am allergic to painkillers. Not a cure, but sure makes life a little easier.”
“Early days - I’ve used this daily for just a couple of weeks for osteoarthritis in my hands and on my shoulders and neck. It’s a unique type of massage, feels soothing while it’s on, and I think it’s really starting to relieve disabling stiffness and pain. Most importantly, the company is excellent to deal with if there are problems - that’s rare!”
