Looking to add a birth comb as an extra support tool for labour? check out our beautiful curvy birth come HERE!
For hire is the Elle TENS Plus, the most advanced natural pain management device for labour available in Australia. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a natural pain relief tool for your labour, as it assists and distracts you from the pains of labour, helping you through the labour process. Your hire booking is for 8 weeks. You will receive the TENS on or just before you are 36 weeks.
A must-have for your birth plan / hospital bag
The Elle Tens Plus is an easy to use, gentle way to relieve the pain of contractions during labour by amplifying all your body’s amazing natural pain blocking abilities. The gentle electrical pulses block pain signals from reaching your brain & helps build endorphins, allowing for an overall better labouring experience.
The Elle Tens Plus is the ultimate in obstetric TENS, specifically designed for use during labour, and is perfectly safe for you and baby. The Elle Plus is more advanced as it has both a Birth mode and Pain Mode. So you may prefer one mode over the other during your labour, or use the Pain mode at home during your postpartum. Your gel pads can be reused many times if they are kept clean, and placed back on their film after labour use. Use the TENS at home for after birth pains, cramping or sciatica or birth trauma pain. If you would like to purchase extra gel pads, you can find them here.

Good Customer Service
Birthmother went above and beyond to help me sort out the confusion i had with using the tens machine i hired from them. I appreciate the little pamphlet that came in my satchel bag that i initially missed. Thank you ! Will recommend your business to others.

Elle tens machine
I cannot explain how much I loved my experience because of this machine! Goes to show that everyone is different as I know it’s a hit or miss, for me personally it was an absolute life saver, I put it on as soon as my contractions started. I had a home birth & kept it on right to till the end before I got into the pool to start pushing. I personally felt best while walking, so I went for a long walk with the machine on & I just can’t explain how much this machine helped me. Highly recommend giving this a try, especially for after labor pain, I did not take it off as i was in absolute agony for a week straight! So grateful.

Good service!
I was pleased with the way the rental went - it was sent out in a timely manner and was relatively simple to use. A few extra touches like a breastfeeding brochure, snacks and tea were appreciated. Personally I didn’t feel like the TENS helped with labour pain that much, but that’s an individual thing - I had other monitoring and tubing attached to me so didn’t really want more wiring on me for long. Not the company’s fault. I’d still recommend people try it as an option.

Great rental service
The rental service received was superb. Delivered to home address when I was 36wk pregnant. TENS really helped for me during the initial labour process. I even had it on during active labour with nitrous only as the buzzing sensation provided me something to focus on. Returns were a breeze as well.
