Stainless Steel E-Stim Electrodes

What grade of stainless steel do you use?

All our stainless steel electrodes are crafted from 316L medical-grade stainless steel, the same material used in surgical instruments and body jewellery. This grade is specifically chosen for its biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and hypoallergenic properties.

Are stainless steel electrodes safe for sensitive skin?

Yes! 316L stainless steel is hypoallergenic and suitable for most people, including those with sensitive skin or metal sensitivities. Unlike nickel-plated alternatives, medical-grade stainless steel is body-safe and won't cause irritation for the vast majority of users.

Can I use stainless steel electrodes if I have a nickel allergy?

316L stainless steel contains minimal nickel (typically 10-14%) and is tightly bound within the alloy, making it safe for most people with nickel sensitivities. However, if you have a severe nickel allergy, please consult with your healthcare provider before use.

Why choose stainless steel over other materials?

Stainless steel electrodes offer several key advantages:

• Superior conductivity - Provides consistent, reliable electrical stimulation
• Exceptional durability - Won't degrade, crack, or wear out like silicone alternatives
• Easy to clean - Non-porous surface allows thorough sanitization
• Long-lasting investment - With proper care, they'll last for years
• Better sensation - Firm contact provides more precise stimulation

How does conductivity compare to other electrode materials?

Stainless steel is an excellent conductor, providing superior performance compared to conductive rubber or silicone electrodes. This means you'll experience more consistent stimulation with better control at lower power settings, making your sessions more efficient and enjoyable.

How do I know which size to order?

Proper sizing is crucial for both comfort and effectiveness. We strongly recommend purchasing our nylon sizing set first to determine your perfect fit. The sizing set is affordable and includes a discount code (in the packaging) that offsets the cost when you order your stainless steel electrode.

What if I order the wrong size?

Due to hygiene reasons, we cannot accept returns on electrodes once opened. This is why we highly recommend using our sizing set first - it ensures you get the right fit the first time and saves you from purchasing the wrong size.

Do stainless steel electrodes come in different styles?

Yes! We offer multiple styles including Jet Set Willy and Helmet Glans designs, each available in various sizes. Our sizing set is compatible with both styles to help you find your ideal fit.

How do I clean stainless steel electrodes?

Cleaning is simple:

1. Wash with warm water and antibacterial soap after each use
2. For deeper cleaning, use a toy cleaner specifically designed for metal
3. Dry thoroughly with a clean, lint-free cloth
4. Store in the provided ABS protective case

The non-porous surface of stainless steel makes it easy to sanitize completely, unlike porous materials that can harbour bacteria.

Can I sterilize stainless steel electrodes?

Yes! Medical-grade stainless steel can withstand various sterilization methods including boiling (for 3-5 minutes) or using sterilizing solutions. This makes them ideal for those who require the highest hygiene standards.

How long will stainless steel electrodes last?

With proper care and cleaning, stainless steel electrodes can last for many years - often a lifetime. Unlike silicone or rubber alternatives that degrade over time, stainless steel maintains its integrity and performance indefinitely.

Will they rust or corrode?

No. 316L stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, even with regular exposure to moisture and body fluids. This is why it's the preferred material for medical implants and surgical instruments.

Are these electrodes compatible with all e-stim units?

Yes! Our stainless steel electrodes work with all standard e-stim power units that use 2mm pin connections. They're compatible with popular brands and provide excellent conductivity with any quality power box.

Do I need to use conductive gel?

For optimal conductivity and comfort, we recommend using a water-based conductive gel or lubricant. This ensures good electrical contact and a more comfortable experience. Never use silicone-based lubricants with any electrodes.

Can stainless steel electrodes be used with other electrode types?

Yes, you can mix and match stainless steel electrodes with other electrode types in your e-stim sessions, as long as they're all connected to the same power unit properly.

What's included with my electrode?

Each stainless steel electrode comes with a protective ABS storage case to keep it safe when not in use. Connection cables are typically sold separately (check individual product listings).

Do you offer a sizing set discount?

Yes! When you purchase our nylon sizing set, you'll receive a discount code inside the packaging that can be applied to your stainless steel electrode purchase, effectively making the sizing set free when you order your final electrode.
