What Is E-Stim?
E-stim (short for erotic electrostimulation) uses gentle electrical pulses to stimulate nerves and muscles. In a kink or pleasure setting, it can create anything from subtle tingling to deep, throbbing sensations.
What You'll Need:
- An e-stim control box.
- A sound, this can be one made specifically for e-stim, or you can convert a regular sound into an electrosound.
- Conductive accessories like pads or insertables.
- Sterile conductive lube (sold here).

What Is Urethral Sounding?
Urethral sounding involves inserting smooth, sterile rods (called “sounds”) into the urethra. It stimulates highly sensitive internal areas, especially pleasurable for those with a prostate. But, sounding can be enjoyed by all genders.
The urethra on females is much shorter than the urethra running through a penis so the short E-Stim Systems Diamond Plugs Sounds are a great electrode to use on female anatomy.
Our collection of sounds includes beginner and e-stim-compatible options.
Why Combine E-Stim With Sounding?
When done correctly, combining these two practices can offer:
- Deep, internal stimulation.
- Prostate and nerve-end pleasure.
- A hands-free erotic experience.

Safety Tips Before You Start
Urethral and electro play does come with risks. Here’s how to stay safe:
- ✅ Clean everything. This is the most important rule. Sterilise the sound, wash your hands, and use gloves.
- ✅ Use sterile, water-based conductive lube—avoid silicone or oil-based formulas. It is highly recommended to use one-shot sachets of sterile lube for osunding.
- ✅ Only use purpose-built e-stim gear—never improvise, it isn't worth the risk of injury.
- ✅ Start on the lowest intensity setting.
- ❌ Never pass current through the chest or heart.
- ❌ Avoid play if you have infections, a pacemaker, or are pregnant.
