“I have arthritis in my hands and especially issues with right thumb. Using the gloves the tingle has varied tremendously, each time I have used it, from good stimulation on right but next to no sensation on the left hand when on same setting. I tried the small pads on my thumb yesterday which seemed to work well.”
Hi, thank you for your review. It may take some time for your body to adjust to the sensation. I would also recommend using some moisturizer on your hands before using the gloves.
“I purchased the shoulder wrap. I've only used a 3 times, recently arrived. But there are no instructions with it - like cleaning it. Can it be pit in a washing machine etc?
Also I'm using for my left shoulder and find it very difficult to fit. Need someone to assist.”
Hi Jourdan,
We're sorry to hear you are not enjoying your experience with the Shoulder Wrap. You are correct, the Instructions for use which are on the back of the packaging do not mention if you can pop it in a washing machine. We would recommend wiping the pad area down after each use. The whole piece could either be hand washed or put in a machine but only on the gently/delicate cycle. Due to the velcro and potential colour running we would not recommend washing it with other clothing.
The link to the video below is a How To Use video for the Shoulder Wrap which may assist you with putting the wrap on when you are by yourself. We are adding a How To page on the website for this product which should be ready later today.

“Jarred an old knee injury back into action & thought it would be trip back to surgery. The Pain Pod took care of it & in 2 days....pain & swelling gone!!”
“I love the pain pod mi. It has helped lots with my nerve pain. My only fault is that the pads are not great at staying stuck down with humidity in Queensland at the moment. After 10 minutes brand new pads are falling off. I have to use physio tape to stick them down:”
Thank you for your positive review, I totally understand about the humidity in Queensland as we are on the Gold Coast and it is so humid at the moment. We are so glad that the PainPod has been able to help with your nerve pain.
“I’ve been using PainPod for about 10 years. Great product and I have recently ordered products online. The online delivery was excellent. I was kept informed of the delivery times and delivery was prompt (within days). I highly recommend the product and the service.

“I have been using my PainPod3 for two weeks on a daily basis. It has aided the release of tension in most muscles I have concentrated on. My knee stiffness is still there but not as severe. I am hopeful that this trend will continue.”
“I've been using pain pod before going to bed each night, for several months now, to relieve the night time discomfort of a chronic frozen shoulder .It is very effective in releasing the associated muscle tension with the result that I can reliably get a good night's sleep.I wouldn't want to be without my pan pod!”
Hi Margaret, thank you for sharing. We are so glad that the PainPod has been able to help you through the pain of your shoulder and been able to assist with getting a good night's sleep.
“This is the second Painpod I've owned. I gave my last one to a friend who was in much need of an affective pain management system.
Received my latest one in two days. Unboxed it and got to work on relieving the pain in my shoulder. Four days of use and I'm as good as new.
I would highly recommend the Painpod for any muscular discomfort.

“Absolutely thrilled with the fact I could get my cracked screen fixed and that the turn around was so quick! I would have given a 5 star rating but I had also ordered a silicone skin that should have arrived with the device when it was returned, but unfortunately it was not in the package. I had paid for it but not received it. Hopefully quickly resolved once I phoned the next day the lovely lady on the phone apologised profusely and told me she would express post it to me 😃”
“The product is good sometimes at the end of a 30 minute session I feel a relief of pain sometimes I don’t in any case I think there should be a little bit more information and support on how and where to place the pads in order to get the maximum out of the product customer service is very good thank you for that”
Hi Reuven, Thank you for your review. When you purchased your PainPod it should have come with a User Manual which describes what each mode is to be used for and it should have come with a Pad Placement Chart which shows the best places to put the pads. I can email you a copy of both of these if you want. I would be more than happy to give you a call and see if we can help you out a bit more to get the most out of the PainPod.
