Not all TENS machines are the same. One of the biggest questions Australians ask before buying is whether to choose a wireless TENS machine or a traditional wired one.
Let’s break down the differences so you can make a confident, informed choice.
What Is a Traditional TENS Machine?
Traditional TENS machines use wired electrode pads connected to a small control unit. They’re reliable, adjustable, and commonly used at home.
Pros:
-
Multiple pad placement options
-
Often more affordable
Cons:
-
Wires can limit movement
-
Less discreet under clothing
What Is a Wireless TENS Machine?
Wireless TENS devices combine the pad and control unit into one compact design. They stick directly to the body and are controlled via buttons or an app.
Pros:
-
Discreet and portable
-
No wires to manage

Ideal for busy lifestyles
Cons:
-
Smaller coverage area per unit
