  • What is a maternity TENS machine?
  • Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a professionally researched, tried and tested method of pain management in childbirth and chronic pain used in European hospitals and clinics since the 1960's.

  • Labour TENS unit is an advanced, small, battery powered device which sends a pulsed electrical stimulus via pads to the skin.

    Why use a maternity TENS machine ?

    • No harm to baby
    • Drug free pain control
    • Instant long lasting pain relief
    • No side effects or drowsiness
    • Fully controllable with boost button

    • Safe and easy to use at home or in hospital
    • Proven up to 90% effective for reducing labour pain
    • Non invasive giving freedom to move and walk about
  • How does TENS work ?
    • Releases natural pain killers (endorphins and encephalins)
    • Blocks out pain messages to the brain.
    • Provides a sense of control over labour pain and gives an alternative focus
  • What does TENS feel like ?
    • A pleasant tingling sensation on the skin where the pads are placed.
  • When do I start using the TENS machine?
    • We recommend you start using the maternity TENS machine at home at the onset of contractions. Early use of the TENS promotes the bodies production of endorphins and encephalins - the bodies natural pain killers.
  • How long should the maternity TENS be used ?
    • The Tens machine can be used as needed for as long as desired but a minimum 60 minute duration is recommended for childbirth.
  • Can I practice with the TENS machine ?
    • Yes, we recommend you tryout the TENS machine beforehand so that you are familiar with the operation. You may place the pads on your lower back as you would during labour or you may place them on the inside of your forearm to test. If you are earlier than 37 weeks then limit the test to a short period. The pads are self adhesive and re-usable. Re-apply the plastic film to the sticky side of the pads when finished and store in the plastic bag.
  • Is TENS safe?
    • Yes, our TENS is specifically designed for Labour. It has been professionally researched, tried and tested since the 1960's. However there are a few precautions. Do not use over broken or desensitised skin. Do not use before 37 weeks unless approved by your doctor. Do not use if you have a pacemaker. Seek advice from doctor if you have epilepsy.
  • I would like a water birth - can I use maternity TENS ?
    • Yes, although NOT whilst in the water. Use during the first stage of labour which may take several hours. The midwife will not usually ask you to enter the water after you are 5cm dilated. You need to REMOVE the TENS machine BEFORE you enter the water.
  • Can I use the maternity Tens machine with other pain relief methods ?
    • Yes, you may continue using  the TENS machine with other methods such as pethidine and gas and air.
  • Can I use the TENS machine after the birth ?
    • Yes, the TENS machine is very effective for reducing the pain of uterine contractions after birth. The TENS can also be used whilst breast feeding after birth, and can be used with leg, neck or back pain.
  • Can I use an ordinary TENS machine ?
    • It is not recommended as ordinary TENS machines will be less effective. A maternity TENS uses larger pads and has specially designed programmes with a boost button for changing between the programmes to allow an increase in pain relief during contractions, these do not exist on a standard tens unit.
  • When is the best time to order ?
    • Order as soon as possible to secure your maternity TENS machine. It will be posted out to you 3 weeks prior to your babys due date, priority hire is sent same working day. You can order 6 months in advance of your babys due date
  • What if I am due in less than 3 weeks ?
    • We recommend you use the Priority Hire Service - Sent via DHL same or 1st working day.
  • Can I take the TENS into hospital with me ?
    • Yes. The midwives and doctors are usually very happy for women to use a maternity TENS. Check with your midwife or doctor if you are unsure. You may need to turn the TENS off temporarily whilst using electronic monitoring equipment.
  • What if my baby is late ?
    • You automatically get an extra week free, any longer needed, email us as soon as possible and we can normally give you another extension for one week.
  • Can I use a maternity TENS to treat back pain during pregnancy ?
    • Yes, our maternity TENS can be used to treat back pain during and after pregnancy. (not before week 37)

      Tens arrived v promptly at 37 weeks but haven't had much cause to use it yet as still waiting for baby (4 days late at the mo!). But have had a play and seems pretty easy to use - hubby has found instructions v easy and we feel confident we'll know what we're doing with it and hopefull it will help with pain. Have heard lots of good things.

      TENS machine was easy to order and delivered very quickly with all the necessary attachments. During labour, it eased the pain of the contractions in my lower back almost completely. I am so glad I hired the TENS machine, would definately do it again.

    Rating Excellent, easy to use, wonderful device
      Used for two pregnancies and both times got me to fully dilated with no other pain relief. Elle TENS was a wonderful means of distracting me from labour pains. It wont get rid of labour pain, but somehow takes your mind off it, even if just by giving you a task to do of pressing buttons. Highly recommended if you are well motivated and have a strong mental attitude to labour in general if this is your only pain relief. If not, still highly valuable for early stages before stronger pain relief.

      Really good when the contractions really kick - but need to start using it early as once they do kick in, you won't have time in between to fit it on you and set it up!!

    Rating Elle Tens review
      I recently hired the Elle tens for a home birth. I have to say it was fantastic! I received the tens and everything I needed within a few days of ordering, the instructions were very clear and it even came with some smaller pads for a practise run. As soon as I started getting contractions I started using the machine. I used it for about 2 hours until I got into my birth pool. I did not need ANY additional pain relief even though my contractions were on top of each other.

      Fantastic service. Arrived two days after I ordered. It was in great condition and easy to use. they also made the return service idiot proof...which is great as your brain will be fried! I would definitely use Pregnancy Tens again.

    Rating Fantastic hire service
      A very fast and efficient hire service. TENS was all I needed until well into established labour when it complemented gas and air very well and nothing else was needed. A very competetive price for the hire service also.
