Can An Electric Muscle Stimulator Be Used On The Hip With Dermal Piercing?
I recently purchased the flex belt (an electric muscle stimulator (EMS device) for training the abdominal muscles. It has been designed to tone, strengthen and firm the abdominal muscle) without thinking about my body piercings. I have a dermal on my side (above my hip) and my belly pierced. I can remove my the belly ring but not the dermal. Am I able to use the belt? Or can I put tape/band-aid over the dermal for a barrier?
