Using the TENS Machine During Labour

When should I start?
Start as soon as regular contractions begin. Use a low setting initially to allow your body to adjust. It takes about 30–60 minutes to feel the full effects, so starting early helps build up endorphins for pain relief.

Gradually increase intensity as labour progresses. The UK’s Royal College of Midwives recommends starting in early labour for maximum benefit.

TENS and Other Pain Relief Options
TENS pairs well with:

 

• Hypnobirthing techniques for relaxation and breathing
• Gas (Nitrous Oxide) during contractions
• Massage, movement, and positioning (not water immersion)
• Birthing combs for added acupressure (Come check out our awesome Birth Comb- The AcuiCOMB)

Why Rent the Elle TENS 2?

The Elle TENS 2 is the global leader in labour TENS devices. Designed specifically for pain relief during childbirth, it includes all the key features without unnecessary extras.

While the Elle TENS Plus is our best-selling 3-in-1 device, it’s more suited for postpartum recovery, as pelvic floor stimulation isn’t recommended until 10–12 weeks after birth.
