Boots Tens Machine replacement pads

I have a Boots tens machine, it is about 7 years old and works perfectly. I need some replacement pads for it, I had a look at Boots online and noticed that the electrodes they supply now are completely different.
The ones I have are attached to the wires by press studs. Its not a maternity TENS its one such as you would use for back pain. The new electrodes arent attached by press studs.
Does anyone know where I can get supplies from? I have seen some electrodes with a press stud fastening like the ones they use for chest ECG, but the press stud isnt the right size so they would be no good.
Has anyone else got one of these machines and found a solution please?

Hi, I finally found a supplier for the Boots TENS replacement pads with the studs and they can be contacted on Telephone 01372723434. They also confirmed that you can obtain replacement leads which effectively convert the machine to the newer, more easily obtained, replacement pads.0

Hi Dragonaholic
Thank you for the info re Tenscare and their number above. I too have been having problems locating Boots TENs pads and after finding your post I rang Tenscare this morning. Wow, what a helpful guy I spoke to. He confirmed they have the leads and is sending some out first class. He's also sending me some pads to try with them as well. The total cost was £15.
He knew exactly what make and model I was talking about and even knew it needed two leads.
So, thank you once again for the info. The Boots machine is one of the best ones I've found for me and I didn't want to start spending lots more money buying a new one. Now I don't have to! :T0 -
Thank you Dragonaholic.

And thanks to Quofan39 too, for the additional information.0 -
