    TENS - Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation


    1. Drug free pain relief in labour – what is it?
    2. What does it feel like?
    3. Are there any side effects?
    4. When should I stop using or remove the machine?
    5. When should I hire the TENS machine?
    6. What if I go over my due date?
    7. Can I use the TENS machine for backache?
    8. Where do I position the pads on my back?
    9. Can I test the machine before labour?

    1.Drug free pain relief in labour – what is it?

    The Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) machine uses a small battery operated unit to provide a non-invasive and drug free method of helping to control labour pain. At the onset of labour, simply apply the four pads to your back as shown in the accompanying instructions and switch the TENS machine on. You will feel a pleasant pulsing sensation. This will help to raise the level of your own pain relieving chemicals known as endorphins. When experiencing a contraction, press the booster button for the extra surge of power needed to combat the pain. When the contraction ends, press the booster button again - it is that simple! The Labour TENS can be an effective technique for pain relief in over 80% of births with no side effects.
    Evidence shows that to achieve the best results the TENS should be used from the onset of labour. In order to build up endorphins (the body’s natural pain relievers) the TENS needs to be in place for at least 40 minutes before the full effectiveness can be felt.

    2. What does it feel like?

    Most people describe the sensation of the TENS machine as tingling or pins and needles.

    3. Are there any side effects?

    It is not thought that using TENS in labour has any adverse effects on either you or your baby. You are free to move around while using it and you can use it in conjunction with gas and air. However you must remember it cannot be used if you want to try a birthing pool for pain relief and you can’t use it if you have a cardiac pacemaker.

    4. When should I stop using or remove the machine?

    When you remove the machine is completely up to you. It can be used in conjunction with gas and air to provide effective pain relief, and can be used for the duration of your labour. Often the effectiveness of the TENS machine is only realised once it has been removed.

    5. When should I hire the TENS machine?

    It is a good idea to book your TENS machine in early pregnancy (about 25-30 weeks) to avoid disappointment. It will then be dispatched in time for your 37th week. Do not worry if you have not ordered a TENS machine and you are nearing your due date just select "Express Delivery" and we will dispatch the machine on a Next "working" Day service

    6. What if I go over my due date?

    Do not worry as no extra charges will be incurred. When you hire the TENS you will be given a return date of 3 weeks after your due date. This should give enough time if your baby is overdue. If you do require more time please just let us know.

    7. Can I use the TENS machine for backache?

    You can use the TENS machine for back ache once you have reached 37 weeks in your pregnancy. Before this time you must check with your midwife. Replacement electrode pads can be purchased for £4.99 should you require them

    8. Where do I position the pads on my back?

    Try to get help when positioning the pads. The electrode placement pads need to be positioned 4/5cm above and below an imaginary line drawn with the navel. 2/3cm on either side of the spine.

    9. Can I test the machine before labour?

    Yes definitely, we would recommend you familiarise yourself with the machine and how to use it. Do not worry about the adhesiveness of the pads as they can re-used several times (ensure no oils or creams are present on the skin). Instructions on how to test the machine are included. Once you have tested the machine remove all the wires and don’t forget to place the protective covers back on electrodes to prevent them from drying out. Pack the machine away carefully and wait for the big day.

    Please note that we are only able to hire these units within the UK.

    8 reviews for Elle TENS2 with Contraction Timer Hire Service

    1. Lucy (verified owner) –

      Very easy to apply and to use. A great source of pain relief in the early stages of labour. The ability to time contractions was also really useful- I was able to tell my midwife how regular they were and how long they lasted based on the information recorderd by this device.

    2. Kate White (verified owner) –

      The TENS machine really helped during the first part of labour. Straightforward to use and was a great distraction. Would highly recommend getting one.
      Service was very good and easy to return afterwards as well.

    3. Rheannon Galloway (verified owner) –

      I ordered the Elle Tens 2 to replace a tens machine I’ve used through my last 3 pregnancies. What a difference! It’s a great machine, very easy to use and I particularly liked the contraction timer. I used it right up until I got into the birthing pool.
      The service from Birthease was excellent. Very simple to order and reasonably priced compared to other companies. The product came in plenty of time, despite me ordering later than recommended. Very easy to return too, using the prepaid envelope and just use any post box. Highly recommended!!

    4. Steph (verified owner) –

      Ordered a TENS not really expecting it to work but my friends had told me how much it helped so I thought ‘there’s no harm in trying’ and my goddess what an amazing little machine! Managed to labour at home with only the Tens to 9cm dilated. I have been converted and would highly recommend to anyone that is in 2 minds. The service from birth-ease was hassle free, the post was delayed by Royal Mail and Cathy was quick to email to update – I hadn’t even realised that it was delayed before getting her email. All in all an amazing service which I would use again

    5. Tone Gundersen (verified owner) –

      Great machine helped me though the early stages as well as after they broke my waters and I went from 3cm to by child being born in 1h!! Provide relif and comfort

    6. Alison (verified owner) –

      Easy to use and effectively helped me manage my labour pain.
      Very uncomplicated delivery/return process.
      Would recommend both the company and the tens machine.

    7. Jenna M (verified owner) –

      I was so impressed with the service and ease of ordering. The Elle TENS2 arrived in good time and because of the long rental length I felt I had sufficient time to return it after my birth without being too rushed. I will definitely use the service again if I have another baby and will recommend it to any pregnant friends!

    8. Lisa (verified owner) –

      I ordered the Elle Tens2 machine from birth ease and was delighted with the service from start to finish. Despite being in the middle of the Covid pandemic I received the Tens machine in plenty time with easy to follow instructions included. The Elle Tens2 machine itself saw me through my contractions for over 2 days at home until I was 9cm dilated where I then attended hospital. The ease of posting in any post box rather than having the need to post at the post office was also a great part of the service especially during those busy first few days/weeks of parenthood when everything is so chaotic. A++ company and service!
