Which is the best labour TENS machine, I hear you ask?
When you are thinking about using TENS for pain relief in your labour, my first piece of advice is to ensure you have a TENS machine that is specifically designed for labour. There are many different TENS on the market, but a labour TENS machine has two important features which make it your first choice:
- it is easy to use – there are no fiddly settings for you to try and figure out (or remember during your labour!)
- it has a Boost Button – this is what you use during your contractions. The Boost Button changes the sensation of the TENS, and really helps you to get through those contractions
Birth Partner has Australia’s widest range of labour TENS, so we understand it may be difficult to decide which one to buy or hire. We have put this table together for you to try and help you.
