Got the Qinux Vibrathea a few days ago and the pads seem to stick better if I press them down for a few seconds. Is that actually necessary or am I just wasting time? Feels like they slide a bit on my leg otherwise. Not a huge deal but curious if anyone else bothers.

Pressing them down is not a waste of time in my experience. I give them a good few seconds of pressure before turning anything on and they stay put through a whole session, so I just built it into the routine.

Pressing down for a bit probably isn’t wasted effort. I noticed the sticky side gets a little less grippy after a few weeks of use, and I started wiping the pad surface with a barely damp cloth before sticking it on. That seemed to bring back some of the tack for a while, at least on my arm. The leg is trickier though, since mine bends and moves more, so the pad edge tends to lift first when I’m walking around or sitting down. Nothing dramatic, it just creeps up slowly over a session. I don’t press super hard, more like a firm smooth-over to make sure the whole pad is flat against the skin before I bump the intensity up. If there’s an air bubble or a curled corner it feels different, sort of tingly in one spot instead of spread out. Anyway I’m only a couple weeks in so maybe the pads are just settling in. Does yours peel at the edges after a while or stay put for the whole session?
