It takes 500 ma directly across the heart to cause a problem. Check your tens unit output. Mine caps out at 250 ma. So it would be safe to use above the waist, no problem, as long as there isn't a pacemaker.
That being said. A lead attached to each nipple won't produce the sensation you are looking for. When good contact is made, a tens creates sensation between the points of contact. So, you would feel it more across the chest than in the nipple. Instead try hooking a lead on each side of the nipple. Many TENS units have 2 channels, so you can attach a pair of leads to each nipple (just make sure they are on the same channel). That should be closer to the desired sensation.
Alternatively, you can attach one lead to your partner (inner thigh is good because of the proximity of nerves), and attach one to your wrist. Now, when you touch your partner, the shock is at the point of contact (because the contact isn't perfect there). There is a good chance that you will feel it just as much as your partner. To prevent this, hold something metal, and touch them with that. A nail will do. Since you have firm, good contact with the piece of metal, but your partner has intermittent contact, they will feel all of the shock. Use a little water to increase conductivity.
