Frequently asked questions

Is Baoliter better than a basic 2-channel TENS unit?

Baoliter is better when you want more pad coverage, 4 independent channels, EMS mode, and a fuller kit. A basic 2-channel unit may be enough for simple single-area sessions.

Do I need 4 channels for lower back pain?

Not always, but 4 channels can help when you want wider lumbar coverage or separate pad pairs around both sides of the lower back.

Is a basic TENS unit easier for beginners?

Sometimes. Basic units can be simpler, while Baoliter gives more room to grow once you want TENS, EMS, RELAX, DIY modes, and more pads.
