“I am a guy with "hairy legs." Should I shave around my lower legs where you wear the Quell unit to extend the life of the electrodes or does it really matter?”

Use the “sport electrodes” only and there is no problem with leg hair at all. The normal electrode isn’t really a problem either with hairy legs but they are much ‘gooier” and the electrode substance tends to stick to your leg and i have not gotten more than a week’s use of normal electrode that ships with the device ‘starter kit’. Also, there is no difference in device performance, comfort or wearability with the sport electrode The ‘sport electrode’ substance is much less gooey, dryer, more concentrated and easily last two weeks and never sticks to your leg, hairy or not, when removing the device/ electrode. Hairy or not I highly recommend the ‘sport electrode’ instead of the normal one that ships with the starter kit and there is no need to shave the area - mostly because you’ll be moving it to the opposite leg and rotating its location as it tends to irritate the area if you don't and leave the device on your leg 24/7 in the same position. Hope this helps - Carl

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it would be more comfortable for you
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.So long as the electrodes can make good skin contact, it should not matter.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.NO do not have your leg. I'm a woman so I don't have hairy legs but the day I shave my legs, I basically cannot use the Quell, it hurts, like needles going into each hair follicle.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
