Can My Partner & I Use Different Electro Toys At The Same Time?

Some of our stimulators are single-channel electro sex machines that can be used for solo play or for sharing sensations using a single output. Not sure about the difference between single and dual output stimulators? Check out our 'How To Choose A Stimulator' guide. 

But what if you and your partner have different preferences? 

This article explains how to share electro sex stimulation using a dual channel stimulator. Because single-channel stimulators only have one output, you have to use the same intensity level and that’s not always ideal.

For couples wanting an erotic electro stimulation experience that’s more in tune with their individual desires, a dual-channel stimulator is the way forward. They have two outputs instead of one and the channels are completely isolated, allowing you to select different intensity levels for each. If you like a mid-range intensity and your partner prefers a more intense stimulation setting, you’ll both be happy with a dual-channel stimulator.

You can filter by Single or Dual output in the sidebar of our store.

How To Use Dual Channel Stimulators?

When using a channel each, you won’t be able to feel the stimulation your partner feels. The isolated controls mean that you’ll only experience the stimulation setting that you have selected.

You can still enjoy the synchronised pleasure of sharing a single channel on a dual-channel stimulator but you get twice the number of electrodes to play with. Choose to share sensations on one channel or both. If you opt to use just a single channel you don’t need to connect any electrodes to the other channel and can leave the intensity at 0.

Basically Dual Channel Stimulators give you twice the versatility of a Single Output stimulators; vital for couples in our opinion! 

When using both channels you can each use a uni-polar electrode on both channels at the same time.

For example you can each use an ElectraPad on channel 1 and a second ElectraPad on channel 2.

You can even connect a pin from each output to the same bi-polar electrode so that when you select an alternating pattern, you feel sensations at different times through each contact. However you choose to share sensations with a dual-channel stimulator, remember that you’ll only feel sensation when you and your partner are touching one another. When you complete the circuit by touching, you’ll both feel sensation everywhere you touch as well as through the electrodes you’re using.

When sharing sensations, it’s OK to touch and kiss one another above the waist but you should follow these additional guidelines:

• Pads to be attached below the waist such that stimulation cannot flow directly across the heart
• Maximum intensity level of 6 when touching with any part of the body above the waist
• Normal warnings still apply
