Here is a short and sweet update about my live streams.
As many of you will know, my current workspace is an old converted barn in the Peak District in the UK. That means it roasts in the summer and freezes in the winter.
I have reached the point where I have run out of space there. When doing live streams, I have the added problem of being in the middle of nowhere. Even after investing in Starlink, my internet connection is "funky," to say the least, causing me all sorts of issues when I stream.
Due to the cramped conditions there, I also have to set up the studio every week and pack it all away again, as I need the space to create my range of electrodes and other kinky delicacies.
One end of my workshop is filled with 3D printers doing their bit to improve chances of hands-free orgasms all around the globe, and the other half is set up as an office space for the three of us here.
Well, this week has seen me release two new electrodes. The first has already sold out, leaving me frantically ordering more materials. I wasn't expecting it to be so popular.
We have also ordered the final equipment to begin podcasting next week. It's a daunting thought, but so was live streaming, and at least with podcasting, our dodgy internet connection won't be an issue.
So watch out for our first-ever podcast next week (caveat: as long as we can get the kit working in time).
Let me introduce the first new product that I have added to my range of bespoke designs.
Big things are happening in the very near future. As some of you may already know, we have started to do a Saturday e-stim livestream where we talk about all sorts of electrosex-related subjects.
Now, our internet is temperamental at the best of times, so we often lose connection during our live stream, and the feed drops. This, coupled with us running out of space here at Chez Joanne, has meant I am actively on the lookout for a new workshop closer to town.
Moving, while expensive, is going to give me better internet access and, more importantly, more space for my operation as I am getting busier and busier each month (which is a good thing).
I host a weekly livestream on Youtube at 5pm (UK time) every Saturday where, share news, offer advice and highlight what's new in the wonderful world of e-stim.
Well, I am so excited to tell you all about the NEW ElectroRings System from E-Stim Systems, a UK company renowned for the quality of its electrodes.
I have been lucky enough to have reviewed most of their electrodes in the past, and they make the core of my electrode collection.
I visited their factory in Watford and was blown away by their manufacturing methods and levels of quality control on their electrode production line. I see how they can happily offer a lifetime warranty on their electrodes.
But I digress. This post is about their latest addition to their range of electrodes - The ElectroRings System.
So, I want to let you all in on a little secret. I am considering getting into the insertable electrode scene. By that, I mean body-safe silicone electrodes with metal electrode surfaces for excellent conductivity.
I am still in the planning phase, whether it is financially viable for me to get into producing low-volume but high-quality insertables. So far, I have made a name for myself due to my innovative 3D-printed electrode designs, and I am pretty good at what I do.
But here's the kicker: I've always wanted to make my insertables, but until recently, I had yet to decide what I wanted to make or how I could bring this dream to life.
Why would I want to make silicone insertable electrodes when the market already has lots to choose from?
I'm proud to announce two new products this week (after a very long development period).
As a self-taught user of Fusion360, it takes me way longer to design products than someone would take if formally trained. But eventually, I do get there.
These two designs have been tweaked over a couple of months, and each product aims to remove a problem some people face when playing.
It has been a lovely process designing them and putting in the skills I have learned over time, and they look great and perform well, which is the most essential part.
My own electron server is freely available for my friends and the general e-stim community at large. I am hosting it myself at my expense on one of my servers.
This instance of Electron is run and hosted by me. I am running it as a way of providing a service to the community that has been so good to me over the years.
I often use self-adhesive monopole pad electrodes when I stim; for me, it gives me a quick and easy way to wire myself up using external electrodes.
I know many penis owners also use them due to their flexibility and ability to be placed precisely where needed.
While self-adhesive monopole electrodes are available in many shapes and sizes, people often choose to trim the ones they have down to a smaller size to increase the perceived intensity levels.
It is a quick and easy way to get a perceived power increase from your control box.
While that is a simple, quick and easy option, it does come with some things that you need to be aware of, hence this wordy post that hopefully gets the message across.
There is nothing wrong with trimming down monopole pad-style electrodes as long as you are careful, and this is where I will highlight a couple of things.
But first, let me tell you about two incidents that I was made aware of from two experienced stimmers who were using pads and had some problems with their use.
Well, it's time to grab the bull by the horns and get my live streams off the ground - finally.
I have been talking about it for ages and planning things while secretly being terrified of actually doing live streams, so please be gentle with me. Yes, I am usually a confident woman, but put me in front of a camera and watch me become a tongue-tied bundle of self-consciousness.
First E-Stim Livestream - Wed 24th May at 5pm (UK time) on my Youtube channel.
Well this is awkward, as I have never done anything like this before.
With the cost of living crisis ongoing, as with any business, cash flow is my biggest problem when looking at pushing my business forward.
So, I could do with some light help.
"Oh no, she's begging", I hear you cry. Well, that's only particularly accurate. Yes, I am looking for a way to generate some funds, but I'm not asking for donations.
Well, after a long period of procrastination, I have finally bit the bullet and ordered a DG Lab Coyote e-stim control box for myself.
This small but powerful e-stim control box hit the marketplace in 2020 and has become a very popular control box for its features and small form.
I opted for the most expensive package that comes with electrodes and am looking forward to checking it out. I have a guest review of the Coyote on my site, which has proved to be popular, and there aren't many reliable reviews about it on the net. I intend to change that by doing one of my own.
I have decided to run an e-stim competition for followers on social media, the members of my Discord server and anyone else who enjoys e-stim. It's an excellent way for me to give back to the community that has been so good to me over the years.
As I design and make a range of electrodes, it would be remiss of me not to offer some of the most popular ones as prizes. But, that's not all, as I also now sell electrodes and control boxes from one of the UK's biggest e-stim manufacturers, E-Stim Systems; I will be offering up an ElectroPebble control box kit as a prize as well.
The winner will get the choice of either an ElectroPebble XPE or an ElectroPebble XPF kit worth £209.
It isn't often that a new e-stim control box is released, and it is even rarer to see one aimed squarely at newbies to stimming.
So as you can imagine, I watched the launch of the new Electrastim KIX with great interest. I am constantly asked for recommendations for control boxes, especially from people new to stimming, so it certainly caught my eye.
"My favourite mode without a doubt is 'Ramp & Clench'. I love how the output steadily rises, and then you get the tap, tap of pulses just as it is getting intense. That is a mode I really enjoy, and it will get me off reliably."

With its simple controls, small form and interesting feature set, I wanted to get my hands on one to see how good it was.
Electrastim kindly sent me one to review in exchange for an honest review of its performance, so I am going into this review with beginners use in mind.
So let me tell you all about the KIX; maybe it's just the sort of thing you are looking for as you dip your toes into the wonderful world of e-stim pleasure. At only £69 it certainly is attractively priced.
Well, after two months of planning, one visit to check out the lay of the land and lots of stressful nights of planning, I have popped my cherry. My fetish market cherry, that is, of course.
For those who haven't heard of the Birmingham Bizarre Bazaar (BBB) is a fetish market held on the third Sunday of the month in the Nightingale Club in Birmingham's Gay Village. With three floors of traders and the famous BBB Afterparty, a fetish and BDSM play event that takes place straight after the market closes.
With over 30 traders attending the BBB, it gets busy, bustling in fact, and so the thought of setting up my stall there was terrifying.
Another fantastic guest review from RubberStimmer, a long time stimmer and rubber fetishist. It builds on his last review of Serious Kit receivers suitable for both V2K and Tremblr e-stim play. You can read his first review here - Serious Kit Electro SPT And V2K Conversion Kit (Or Pimp My Tremblr).
So, it's over to RubberStimmer.
Serious Kit has a large range of SPT receivers for their iconic milker system, many of them with multi-stages. With clear sections to show what is going on and, more interestingly, bi-polar e-stim electrodes. Unfortunately for V2K and Tremblr owners, they require a Serious Kit milking system as there is no liner for the column system (you can read more about the differences and an introduction to SPT’s here).
Browsing through the options on the Serious Kit store, I spotted their push to fit second electrode designed to convert the basic Electro SPT that is typically used with either a monopole anal electrode or in triphase with a bipolar plug. One of the interesting things about using the milker receiver as a single-pole electrode is that as the power levels increase, you can lose the sensation of being milked and the perception of having a cock.
"There is an endless cycle of change from slide to sensation that allows you experience being taken to the edge of pleasure/pain and back again over and over."
RubberStimmer
This seems counterintuitive, but the brain simply does not know how to process the sensations. By turning the Electro SPT into a bipolar electrode, the sensations are focused on the cock, and you get a more conventional perception of movement but more on this later.
Electrastim has been very busy, bringing out not one but two new e-stim products recently.
The first was a new control box, the 'Kix' aimed at people new to e-stim or anyone wanting a small portable unit.
The second is their 'Explorer' conductive finger sleeves, which could be fun in the right hands (see what I did there LOL).
In celebration of the Discord channel that I created reaching 1,500 members, I have decided to run an e-stim competition for the members and anyone else who enjoys e-stim. It is a great way for me to give back to the community that has been so good to me.

As I design and make a range of electrodes, I have decided to offer one of the most popular ones up as a prize. But, that's not all, as I also now sell electrodes from the UK's biggest e-stim manufacturers, E-Stim Systems and Electrastim; I will be offering up an electrode from each as a prize as well.
Why do I design my e-stim electrodes? This is a complex question that deserves some explanation.
Years back, I saw a post on smartstim (I miss that place) where someone explained the reasons for wanting to insulate the top surface of a cock loop. That intrigued me, and I started to look into the idea and reasons for it in great detail.
It made sense that insulating the top half on a cock loop placed around cock and balls could increase pleasure. But, the recommendations as to how to go about it left a lot to be desired.
