Our Elle TENS Plus journey for Jules Robinson!
Jules Robinson Recommends Elle TENS for Labour: “It’s a Must-Have!” We are so excited to share that Jules Robinson—TV personality, mum, and star of Married at First Sight—has been singing the praises of the Elle TENS machine for years! In a recent video, Jules shared her incredible experience using Elle TENS through both of her natural births. Her words say it all: “If you’re having a baby, you’ve got to get one of these (Elle TENS). I’ve had two natural births now, and without this I don’t know if I could have done it. Hand on heart, it’s like you’re coaching yourself while you’re giving birth.” Jules has been recommending Elle TENS to anyone and everyone—from podcasts and interviews to everyday chats with fellow mums-to-be. She’s a true believer in what this little device can do during labour. “This Elle TENS machine is just a must-have if you’re giving birth. And if you have health insurance, you also get a 60 to 80% rebate because it’s TGA registered. It is so amazing.” We couldn’t agree more. The Elle TENS is drug-free, safe, and designed to give you control and comfort during one of life’s biggest moments. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth or a home birth, it’s the ultimate support tool. 👇 Watch Jules’ full video below to hear why she swears by Elle TENS 👇

Maternity TENS: Preparing for Labour with TENS
When it comes to childbirth, every woman’s experience is unique. Some breeze through labour with little intervention, while others face long hours and intense sensations. The good news is that no matter what your birth journey looks like, some tools can help. One of the most effective and empowering options available today is a TENS machine for labour — and it’s gaining traction among mums-to-be all over Australia. In this article, we’ll guide you through how TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) can support you during labour, what to expect when using one, and how to prepare for the big day. We’ll also cover organising a TENS machine hire, why products like the Birth Comb can complement your TENS experience, and what makes the Elle TENS unit so special. What is a Maternity TENS Machine? Let’s start with the basics. A maternity TENS machine is a small, battery-operated device that sends gentle electrical pulses through the skin using electrode pads placed on your back. These pulses help stimulate the nerves and block pain signals to the brain. The device also encourages the release of endorphins — your body’s natural painkillers. Unlike medical pain relief like epidurals or gas, TENS is drug-free, non-invasive, and can be used at home or in a hospital. It gives you a sense of control during labour and can be particularly effective in the early stages. TENS for birth has become especially popular because it allows women to remain active, upright, and present throughout their labour. Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, the feeling of empowerment that comes from managing labour naturally is invaluable. How Does It Help During Labour? Labour pain typically starts in the lower back and abdomen. As contractions build, the pain can become more intense. TENS machines help in three main ways: Distraction: The sensation from the TENS machine can shift your focus away from the contraction. Pain Gate Theory: The pulses interfere with pain messages trying to reach the brain. Endorphin Release: Stimulating nerves boosts the production of endorphins, which naturally ease pain. Many women find that using a TENS machine for labour early on can delay or reduce the need for other forms of pain relief. It can also be combined with other techniques like water therapy, breathing, massage, and using a Birth Comb for acupressure support. When Should You Start Using It? TENS machines are most effective when started at the very beginning of labour — as soon as you begin to feel regular contractions. Using it early gives your body time to build up endorphins and makes it easier to cope as labour intensifies. It’s a good idea to test the machine before your due date so you’re familiar with how it works. You and your birth partner can practise applying the pads and adjusting the settings. Many women opt for a TENS machine hire from a trusted Australian supplier like Elle TENS Australia. This way, you’ll receive your unit a few weeks before your due date, giving you time to get comfortable with using it. Setting Up Your TENS Machine Setting up your TENS machine is simple: Make sure the skin on your back is clean and dry. Apply the electrode pads to the correct positions (around the Bra and Panty line). Connect the pads to the machine. Turn it on and adjust the intensity to a comfortable level. Labour TENS machines have a “boost” button you can press during contractions for extra relief, then release between contractions. This feature is essential during active labour and is one of the standout features of the Elle TENS range. Your birth partner can be a great help here — they can manage the controls so you can focus on breathing and staying calm. Are There Any Risks or Side Effects? TENS is widely considered safe for use in labour. It has no known side effects for you or your baby. However, it should not be used: Before 37 weeks unless advised by a health professional If you have epilepsy or a pacemaker (unless approved by your doctor) On broken or irritated skin Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consult your midwife or doctor if you’re unsure. Choosing the Right TENS Machine for Labour Not all TENS machines are the same. It’s important to choose one specifically designed for maternity use. Key features to look for include: A user-friendly “boost” button for contractions Adjustable settings and clear display An inbuilt contraction timer to help track the rhythm and duration of contractions Neck strap for mobility Medical-grade electrodes to ensure safe and effective use A TENS unit that is a registered medical device with the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) Elle TENS is a top-rated choice in Australia. Designed for mums, it’s compact, reliable, and easy to use during all stages of labour. Elle TENS combines effective pain relief with simplicity — helping you feel confident and supported. What Do Real Mums Say? Here’s what some of our Elle TENS mums had to say about their experience with TENS for birth: “I used my TENS from the start of labour, and it got me through hours at home before heading to the hospital. It was the best investment I made during pregnancy!” – Jenna, Sydney “Having that boost button during contractions gave me something to focus on. It helped me feel in control, which made such a difference.” – Alisha, Melbourne “I loved that it was natural and didn’t affect my baby or delay breastfeeding. I’ll be using it again for my next birth!” – Tara, Brisbane Tips for Making the Most of Your TENS Labour Experience Practise before labour: Know how to apply the pads and use the settings. Start early: Don’t wait until the pain becomes overwhelming. Combine with other tools: Use your Birth Comb, breathing techniques, and relaxation exercises. Final Thoughts Preparing for labour isn’t just about packing a hospital bag — it’s about having the right tools to support you physically and emotionally. A maternity TENS machine for labour is one of those tools that offers a powerful, natural option for pain management. Whether you’re considering a TENS machine hire for your first birth or looking to use TENS for birth again, investing in a quality unit like the Elle TENS can help you feel calm, in control, and empowered. We’re proud to support Australian mums at every step of their journey. From early pregnancy through to postpartum recovery, Elle TENS Australia is here to help you experience birth your way.
