How Elle TENS Supports a Positive Birth Experience

How Elle TENS Supports a Positive Birth Experience

by Carly Rigney in Learn

Welcoming a baby into the world is one of the most transformative experiences in life. For many women, having the right tools and support during labour can make all the difference in how they feel about their birth. At Elle TENS, our goal is to empower women with safe, effective, and drug-free pain relief so they can step into birth feeling confident and supported.

Why a Positive Birth Experience Matters

A positive birth experience isn’t about everything going “perfectly”, it’s about feeling informed, supported, and in control of your journey. Research shows that when women feel safe and prepared, they are more likely to look back on labour with positive emotions, regardless of how the birth unfolds.

The Role of Elle TENS in Labour

The Elle TENS machine has been designed specifically for labour, providing natural, drug-free pain relief through gentle electrical pulses. These pulses stimulate your nerves, helping to block pain signals and encouraging the release of endorphins, your body’s natural painkillers.

For many women, this makes contractions more manageable and helps them stay calm, present, and connected during labour.

Benefits of Using Elle TENS for a Positive Birth

  • Natural pain relief: Drug-free and safe for both mother and baby.

  • Sense of control: With adjustable settings and a Boost button for contractions, you’re in charge.

  • Portable and convenient: Use it at home in early labour or take it with you to the hospital or your birthing centre.

  • Supports mobility: Unlike some interventions, Elle TENS allows you to move around freely during labour.

  • Peace of mind: Knowing you have a trusted tool at your disposal helps reduce anxiety.

Complementary Tools for Labour

Many mums choose to pair Elle TENS with other natural tools to foster a calm and supportive birth environment. Using an Acu-Comb in the palm during contractions is one such technique that applies acupressure to help reduce pain perception.

Together, these tools create a practical and empowering birth toolkit.

Hiring or Buying an Elle TENS

Whether you prefer to hire your Elle TENS for labour or buy one to use for both birth and beyond, we make the process simple and affordable. Hiring ensures your device arrives by 36 weeks, ready to be packed in your hospital bag. Buying gives you ongoing access to pain relief whenever you need it.

Natural Pain Relief Options During Labour | Elle TENS

Labour is one of the most powerful experiences a woman can go through, and many mums-to-be want to explore natural pain relief options before turning to medical interventions. From breathing techniques to water immersion, there are a range of ways to manage contractions naturally. Among them, TENS machines for labour are becoming one of the most trusted and practical tools, with 98% of women reporting reduced labour pains when using Elle TENS devices. Breathing and Relaxation Techniques Breathing deeply and staying relaxed helps calm the mind, reduce tension, and improve oxygen flow to both mum and baby. Many women find that simple breathing patterns taught in antenatal classes allow them to feel grounded and more in control during contractions. Massage and Counter-Pressure Massage from a partner or support person offers a sense of connection and comfort. Applying gentle or firm pressure to the lower back and hips can help reduce discomfort while creating closeness and reassurance during labour. Water Birth and Warm Showers Water is known for its soothing qualities. Being immersed in warm water, in a bath, birthing pool, or even under a shower, can ease muscle tension, promote relaxation, and help mums feel weightless and supported during labour. Movement and Positioning Changing positions and moving throughout labour can help contractions feel more manageable. Walking, swaying, kneeling, or using a birthing ball gives many mums a sense of progress, helping labour to flow naturally while also easing discomfort. Acupuncture and Acupressure Both acupuncture and acupressure focus on activating the body’s natural energy pathways. By stimulating these points, the body can release endorphins, the natural “feel-good” hormones, that provide relief and relaxation throughout labour. Our Acu-Comb is a simple yet powerful tool many mums love. By holding the comb and pressing it gently into the hand, it stimulates acupressure points that naturally release endorphins and provide a distraction from contractions. It’s small, portable, and easy to use alongside other techniques, making it a perfect addition to your hospital bag. Explore the Acu-Comb here. TENS Machines for Labour A TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) machine is one of the most popular natural pain relief options for labour. Specially designed maternity TENS machines like our Elle TENS use gentle electrical pulses to: Reduce pain signals Boost endorphin release Provide instant relief with a simple “boost” button during contractions Allow freedom of movement Keep mums in control throughout their labour The Elle TENS has been trusted by thousands of mums across Australia, and research shows that 98% of women experience reduced labour pain using TENS. Why TENS and Acu-Comb Stand Out While all natural methods have amazing benefits, TENS and Acu-Comb stand out because they combine drug-free relief, portability, and proven effectiveness. You can use them from the very first contraction through to active labour, whether at home or in hospital. You can also choose whether to hire or buy an Elle TENS device. Hiring is a cost-effective choice for labour, while buying means you can continue using it for period pain, back pain, or even future pregnancies. Pairing it with an Acu-Comb adds another layer of comfort and support. Explore your options: Hire Elle TENS Buy Elle TENS Acu-Comb Every woman’s labour is unique, and having natural pain relief options helps mums feel empowered and supported. From breathing to water immersion, massage, and movement, each has its place in creating a positive birth experience. For mums who want extra support, Elle TENS devices and the Acu-Comb are two simple, effective tools that provide comfort, confidence, and proven relief. Together, they’re the perfect additions to your hospital bag.

Elle TENS Plus: Pain Relief for Labour, Postpartum & Beyond

Elle TENS Plus: Pain Relief for Labour, Postpartum & Beyond

One Device. Three Stages. Endless Support. Pregnancy and birth are incredible journeys, but they’re not just about one day in the delivery room. Your body goes through stages: early labour, active birth, and the recovery period that follows. The Elle TENS Plus is designed for all of them. With three unique modes - Labour Mode, Pain Mode, and Pelvic Mode, it’s the only maternity TENS machine that supports you from your first contraction through postpartum recovery and beyond. Stage 1: Labour: Take Control from the First Contraction The Elle TENS Plus isn’t just for the pushing stage; it’s most effective when you start using it in early labour. How it helps during labour: Labour Mode includes two burst patterns—one for early labour, one for rapid contractions. The Boost Button delivers instant extra relief during a contraction. Opti-Max Technology lets you increase intensity for peak moments. The built-in Contraction Timer records length and intervals so you (and your midwife) know exactly where you’re at. It’s small, portable, and clips onto clothing, allowing you to walk, move, or change positions freely, making it ideal for home or hospital births. Stage 2: Post-Birth: Supporting Your Recovery Once baby arrives, the focus shifts to healing, adapting, and caring for your new little one. The Elle TENS Plus switches easily into Pain Mode, which delivers gentle, therapeutic pulses to: Relieve neck and shoulder tension from long breastfeeding or bottle-feeding sessions. Ease afterbirth pains (common as the uterus contracts back to size). Support healing after caesarean or vaginal birth by encouraging healthy circulation. Provide comfort for period pain when your cycle returns. Help with everyday aches and pains, from a sore lower back to tight calves after a long walk. And here’s a little secret: the Elle TENS Plus isn’t just for mums. With an extra set of electrodes, even your partner can use it to relieve tension, muscle stiffness, or post-workout soreness. This versatility means the Elle TENS Plus stays useful long after your hospital bag is packed away, helping you manage a wide range of aches, safely and naturally. Stage 3: Beyond: Long-Term Pelvic Health Childbirth can take a toll on your pelvic floor. The Elle TENS Plus includes Pelvic Mode, transforming it into a pelvic floor exerciser to: Strengthen muscles and improve bladder control. Aid recovery from incontinence or pelvic floor weakness. Support long-term core stability and confidence. This makes the Elle TENS Plus a smart investment, not just for birth, but for ongoing women’s health. Why Choose Elle TENS Plus Over Other Options? Unlike single-purpose TENS machines, Elle TENS Plus is a 3-in-1 solution: Labour Pain Relief: portable, drug-free, and midwife-recommended. Postnatal Recovery: comfort and healing support. Pelvic Floor Training: ongoing health benefits well after birth. It’s reusable, adjustable, and designed with women’s real experiences in mind. Get Ready for Your Journey Have your Elle TENS Plus ready by 36 weeks so you can practise using it before labour begins. With Elle TENS Plus, you’re not just preparing for birth, you’re setting yourself up for a smoother recovery and stronger future.
