The carrier includes a tubular member having a circular cross-section with a plurality of sets of conductive first snap fastener sections arranged circumferentially about and communicating with its exterior surface. The pad is removably secured to the carrier by a plurality of sets of conductive second snap fastener sections which are releasably cooperable with the first snap fastener sections of the carrier. The pad has a plurality of electrically isolated electrode sections, each section in electrical contact with one of the sets of second snap fastener sections, to contact the vagina.
