A GUIDE TO COMPEX ELECTRODES

Our electrodes are an integral part of the muscle stimulation experience. They are made from high-quality materials and facilitate the muscle stimulation experience, ensuring sessions are comfortable.

On this page we offer you a guide to our electrodes; how to look after them, get longer use from them and how often to refresh your electrodes.

If you'd like to learn more about electrode placement for better, more efficient sessions then head to our Compex Electrode Placements page.

For our current range of muscle stimulators, we offer 3 different types of electrode all available in black and white. Which ones you use depend on which muscle placement you are trying to use and whether you wish to use 2 or 4 channels on your muscle stimulator to target that muscle.

For best outcomes, follow the recommendation to use your Compex electrodes for up to 15/20 sessions only.

+ Once you have finished using your electrodes, place them on the "ON" side of plastic sheet.

+ Use Compex Electrode Gel to improve adhesion between the electrode and skin.

+ If you are not using Electrode Gel, ensure that your skin is dry and clear of any oils or moisturisers.

+ Use a Compex Motor Point Pen to highlight the best place to position your electrode/s.

+ When doing static and dynamic exercise, use Compex Elastic Straps to help keep modules and electrodes secure.

+ Placing your electrodes well on your muscles means you will get the best out of your workout/recovery session, giving you the best chance to either achieve your goal, or recover muscles better for that next workout.

We offer a selection of budget-friendly Electrode Packs, allowing you to save while buying Compex electrodes in bulk for prolonged usage.
