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.

Amazing service and product
Birthmother team had my hire out to the same day, I was a little worried that I left it too late to organise but it arrived a couple of days later. The Tens machine I cannot speak more highly of, it helped me through a 16 hour labour. No other pain relief needed. Highly recommend this product.

Welcome to the world Miss Marlo Grey
Hello! Thank you so incredibly much for the TENS machine hire. It was truly instrumental throughout my pain medication free spontaneous labour! I discovered your business through my hypnobirthing class with Hannah Willsmore. I can't recommend this form of pain management technique enough for other birthing person's out there! During labour my entire focus was on breathing and trusting my body with the entire process. Throughout the 11 hours my fiance and I barely spoke. We knew our birthing plan as we had discussed it with one another constantly on the lead up to our special day! However we didn't really discuss the use of the TENS machine specifically. But it became simple and apparent once we were in active labour. She knew when I switched on the boost function I was going through a surge and once it was over I switched it off. She knew from these small cues when to offer me ice chips, when to ask me questions or when to lean in for a comfort/encouragement kiss. Our communication with one another extended beyond words. Erin, focused breathing, keeping active, our labour playlist and the TENS machine enabled me to achieve the biggest moment in my life with empowerment, confidence and ease. Such a fulfilling and out of body experience! The return delivery service and care package that came with this amazing machine was much appreciated also. I truly cannot thank your business enough and I will be sure to recommend this service in the future! Thank you again Birthmother

TENS machine
This was an absolute life saver! It really helped me get through each contraction by providing a distraction- although towards the end I had it on the boost mode non stop to get me through! Would really recommend, even if it isn’t as successful for you as it was for me, at least you’ll have added another “support mechanism” to your tool kit.

Amazing for pain relief during labour
I was a little sceptical of whether this would work - wow was I wrong. I used the TENS machine throughout my entire labour, and ended up only needing gas and air during the pushing stage. It worked amazingly well to manage the pain, and the contraction timer was extremely handy too. I will be telling every pregnant friend to hire one of these!
