@lioness it sort of is like a tens but no one else can feel it if they touch you and it doesn't really feel the same. The wires (paddles in my case) are implanted between the spine and the vertebrate and the wires are funneled under the skin to a battery under the skin either in the butt, back or like mine, the belly. Its sort of like what they use for people who have pacemakers. Similar battery
You use a hand held device to adjust the amount of buzz, intensity and to switch between programs. I have to charge mine every 3 or 4 days but some come with a non rechargeable battery.
