Yes, you can.... I'll get you examples today some time.

I'll edit this thread...so look in later.

Some magnet suppliers have low prices, but they hit you with a service fee say for items less than $20-50. Also shipping is a factor.

I have found 4 suppliers on Ebay which are more affordable. I hope you are active there.

1.5in-- this is larger than I use, and thicker. But stronger.

1 inch -- a good price for 10 including shipping Same size as I use, and you will have to determine the polarity

plastic coated

PLASTIC-COATED- these are 3/4 in before coating. They may appeal to you since they are less likely to cause magnet burns. But they are thicker because of the coating. These are slightly smaller than the one I use.


best price size uncoated:

I like this last one the best. The size is right, the price is right.
You will have to put some moleskin on the pole toward the body. You will have to determine the S pole yourself. This is the size I use.

I bought mine at a computer supply place...you know a build your own... 5 of them + shipping for about $10 a few years ago. They were being discontinued then. I bought the last of them.

I cover my bare magnets with surgical tape, and replace it when worn and icky, and mark the S pole. The polarity is easy for me to figure out, since the wrong pole (N) causes more pain, or at least buzzing feelings.

The belts typically use 1/2 inch neodymiums, many of them. Seagem who posted here for a while bought an expensive belt that was really strong. I wonder how he is doing. Some people don't come back after they find their answers tho.
This is the belt he bought:

he bought the most expensive one...which is onsale now.
The belt is less flexible for use IMO.... I use my magnets in alot of places on the body.

The quadrablocs have 4 --1/2 inch neos in them, two poles up and 2 down, in an X pattern . That was the type studied by the doctor at Vanderbilt. They are covered in plastic for longevity etc. They are the most expensive, IMO. But they have over a decade in use etc.

I find these large really strong ones, you don't have to wear all the time to get benefit. I only wear them at night typically. I don't want them near the computer, etc.
