We are often asked what to buy. We stock a wide range of control boxes, an even wider range of electrodes and when it comes to adaptors, cables and all the ancillary items it becomes seriously confusing.
Now we don't know everything but we do have some experience as we have been manufacturing and marketing our own range of E-Stim equipment both online and at various events around the UK for the past 4 years.
What is it?
E-Stim or electro stimulation, (sometimes also referred to as 'estim', or 'electrosex'), is basically the use of electricity applied to the human body in such a way to produce a pleasurable (normally) sensation. The levels of stimulation and the methods of generation all combine to produce a unique experience far surpassed by anything produced by any funny coloured vibrator, especially ones named after cute furry animals.
Equipment available on the market today is either TENS based units (the medical use of E-Stim for pain relief) or made for play dedicated units. TENS units are designed to reduce pain and sensation and will always be inferior to 'made for play' E-Stim units. We produce a range of safe versatile made for play equipment, that far surpasses its competitors both in functionality and price, and all of our staff actively play with our equipment, both in research and development terms and in their personal lives. So when we offer advice its from personal knowledge and experience. We try to offer guidance as everyone's E-Stim experience is going to be difference.
E-Stim equipment is basically two items. The control box, and an electrode. Everything else is considered to be ancillary, but important nevertheless. (Batteries, cables, conductive gel etc.)
I could suggest you buy everything at once, but a more realistic approach is to purchase a control box and an electrode and enjoy the learning experience. Then gradually, as your experience and knowledge increases you buy more.
Control Units
Control units are the bit of equipment that generates all the fun. We currently produce 4 units, all designed to complement each other.
EBox Series 2
 The recently launched EBox Series 2 is the ultimate when it comes to E-Stim Equipment. With dual isolated channels (you can use two electrodes independently), built in audio control with both an internal microphone and stereo input, together with 13 program modes and an illuminated LCD display with a help system (no more funny codes to decipher), the Series 2 provides safe controllable power at a very reasonable price.
EBox Series 1
 The EBox Series 1 is a single channel dual output model designed to be simple but effective. This is NOT a rebadged TENS unit, but a durable made for play unit that since its conception has turned out to be our most popular unit. It offers power and flexibility at a very reasonable price. It has a wider range than similar units on the market, both in terms of control and power. With built in current limiting and stepless level controls, It’s also the only E-Stim unit currently on the market with a 'Fire Button' offering precise manual control, as well as the more automated pulse and continuous modes.
EBox Series 1 Remote
Next in the line-up is the EBox Series 1 Remote. The Series 1 Remote is one of the smallest E-Stim remote controls on the market, offering a number of unique features. With a radio controlled digitally encoded keyfob (no more interference from other units) and 80M range the remote also offers similar levels of functionality to the Series 1, controlled from a small discreet keyfob controller. It also has the unique ability to link up with other transmitters allowing more than one transmitter to control more than one receiver (or one receiver responding to more than one transmitter), assuming of course you want it to.
The ABox
Lastly we come to our ABox. The ABox is the only dedicated sound driven E-Stim unit on the market, offering audio driven E-Stim. A single channel dual output unit, that uses sound to generate the output. With a built in adjustable sensitivity microphone and the ability to use external sources (MP3 players etc), as well as a bright level control and step less output adjustment, the ABox puts voice or music controlled E-Stim into the playroom. Not just using the amplitude (loudness) of the sound, but also the frequency (tonal nature) the ABox is flexible, versatile and unique.
Electrodes
Electrodes made for E-Stim fall into two types, unipolar and bipolar. Put simply in order to feel anything from E-Stim you need two points of contact, the current generated by the control unit flows between these two points and that is felt as a sensation. A unipolar electrode has a single contact, a bipolar electrode has two. It is possible to combine unipolar and bipolar electrodes together (for instance use one unipolar sound and a single contact of a bipolar plug.
All of our E-Stim kits are shipped with 4 reusable sticky pads, and the necessary cable to connect the two, giving you the ability to start to play as soon as you get home (or even before).
Electrodes are to a certain extent a very personal choice, and that choice is dictated by cost and anatomy. We offer the choice between a number of low cost electrodes, and a higher
specification premium range. Our premium range of electrodes are manufactured by us here in the UK from solid metal alloy bar stock, and assembled with medical grade polymers and stainless steel fittings. We don’t believe in cheap chrome plating or thin tinfoil contacts so we don't use then. The connectors are heavyweight 4mm with the sockets drilled directly into the conductors. And all of our premium electrodes are supplied with the correct cable.
The majority of our premium range of electrodes have contact points top and bottom. We have found this offers a more natural feeling when the electrode moves within the body as well as offering the optimum size of contact area. Some electrodes have contacts on the side, some on the top and bottom. some have a flanged base to ensure they don't go in too far, others are designed to be simply big.
Cock Straps
Electro bands, 'blue bands' 'cock straps', are all common names are for the same item. Two flexible conductive fabric straps that fit around the penis and then connect to the control box. They are flexible, fit nearly all sizes (and that includes from flaccid to stiff!), generally without adjustment.
Veriprobe and Femilux
The simplest insertable is the Veriprobe (and the slightly newer Femilux). Simple cheap and easy to clean, they work well for both vaginal and anal use. You don't need to buy any additional cables as they will work with the standard 2mm cables provided with all of our kits.
Flanged base electrodes
The most popular in our premium range is the Flanged electrode and its bigger sister the Mona. With a large flanged based both these electrodes offer comfort and durability, as well as the additional security of a flanged base.
Torpedoes
If a you are looking for something larger then the torpedoes should fit the bill. The small torpedo is 1½” in diameter the larger torpedo is 2”. Both are bipolar, but offer a serious fullness feeling when worn.
Pinwheels and Sounds and more
We don't just produce a range of insertable's. We also provide a range of exclusive urethral sounds (for insertion into the penis) and bipolar clips, tweezers and pinwheels for use on the surface of the skin.
Everything else
We stock a wide range of cables, gels adaptors and other bits and pieces, all designed to enhance the E-Stim experience. We also produce a wide range of adaptors designed to allow you to use our equipment with that produced by other manufacturers.
Hopefully this have given you a taste for E-Stim, and some idea as to what to buy. If you are still confused, or you want to ask more then please don't hesitate to give us a call, or drop an email. We would love to hear from you.
