Skin and Electrode care:
The manufacturer claims that the electrodes are good for about 30 applications. So using the stimulator every day means you should get about 1 month’s use.

Electrode positioning:
The manual that comes with your stimulator may have diagrams of electrode positions.
Your clinician may have marked your electrode position in the manual or even issued you with photos of where your electrodes go.
If you continue to have problems, we recommend you contact the clinician that issued you with the equipment as they will be able to help.
