Lloyds Chemist TENs machine £9.99

Hi all,

In my local Lloyds chemist they are selling a Solpadeine TENs machine reduced from £39.99 to £9.99 - it is supplied with two AAA battery's and the machine itself is brill - it has 8 settings ranging from pain to massage.

It's been used by all members of our household so far and it's magic :rotfl:

Here's a link to their website where I've just confirmed the offer:

    Just had a look and it appears that the offer ENDS TODAY - 31/08/06

    (see small print on the advert for the TENS)

    Although all the others - Thermometer & Scales & BP Monitor & Family Health Guide - all have "offer ends 12/09/06 "

    Sounds like you need Specsavers rather than Lloyds Pharmacies :rotfl:

    Also just managed to find a Lloyds that still had any left and bagged a couple.

    staff confirmed that the offer ended today BUT MIGHT return in the near future due to its popularity.

  • The offer might return as I bagged a couple about 5 months ago when it was last on. Worked great on my headaches caused by stiff neck and shoulders and also worked well on my elbow when I strained it.
    Just make sure that you dont start it too high - It gave me a heck of a shock and then I couldnt find the button to reduce it!

    I got one of these a couple of months ago and yes they are good.Problem though, i need some replacement pads - using 50% off voucher on box but my local Lloyds say they can`t get hold of them.
    val
  • I also got one and works great except you have to pay for the replacement pads which aren't cheap - I guess they may subsidise the machine so you have to then buy the pads where the real profit is

    did a google search for pads and found these

    Not sure how good they are will let you know once I've tried them

    i find these are great for keeping the wife awake when watching tv in bed, if she nods a bit then you give it a quick crank up to No10 :rotfl:
