"Recommendation!!!"
Brilliant product! I used this when I went into labour with my daughter, whilst I was at home.It definitely helped with the pain, for the first two hous at lest, by then I was 6cm dialated and needed something stronger! I'll certainly be using it next time!

"Easy to use!"
Although I didn't get to try the TENS during the labour itself (as I had a section) I did get to use it from 37 weeks of pregnancy to help ease my chronic back pain & it worked a treat! It was dead easy to set up, a little awkward to put the pads in place yourself, so you'll need someone to help with that bit, but once its in place...its fantastic.
I found that while I was the machine I wasn't getting any back pains atall and for a while after using it, I was pain free. Regular use is the key to keeping the pain at bay. I've also used it to help with healing of my section scar, again it really helped with the pains afterwards. I was a little worried about using it for this incase it made the pain worse, but it really didn't...it feels wierd but very soothing. My mum has also borrowed the unit to help with knee pain, she is on the hospital waiting list for an operation but has been suffering really bad & was so impressed with the effect that the TENS had on her pain , that she went out & bought her own unit!!!
Its great for all sorts of aches & pains and definately well worth buying. It would be interesting to have found out how effective it was for labour pains, but if the other pains are anything to go by, then I'd assume that it would be a really effective, natural way to deal with the pain during labour!

"Excellent product"
I used the TENS Elle for most of my 33 hours of labour. It was easy to use and the instruction booklet was very clear (I'm a techno phobe).
It gives the option of continual pulses and a boost button for each contraction. This really helped as it gave me something positive to do and I really found the boost option a lifesaver as it gave a totally different relaxing 'wave' sensation which helped keep me calm during a difficult labour.
Would use again.
