The Elle TENS 2 is specially designed to help mums-to-be with the management of pain during labour and post-natal needs. Elle TENS is highly effective, portable, and easy to use. All settings are pre-set to eliminate fuss, with the attached neck cord allowing you to move around.

The exclusive Opti-Max technology is what makes Elle TENS products different to any other maternity TENS in the market. It gives you an extra reserve of power for when you really need it, especially in the final stages of labour when you need it most.

What is a TENS machine?

TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and provides a drug-free kind of pain relief. This can be used for all sorts of pain and is often used by women in early labour.

A TENS machine sends small, safe pulses of electrical current via leads to electrode pads which are held your skin and held in place by a firm gel. The pulses pass through your skin and into your muscles and tissues. This gives you a gentle tingling or buzzing sensation. The intensity of pulses can be increased or lowered based on the pain being experienced.

Why does a TENS machine reduce pain?

There are a number of factors that contribute to the pain relief offered by a TENS machine. These include:

Electrical pulses from a TENS machine prevent pain signals reaching the brain.
TENS pulses release natural feel-good substances call endorphins.
It helps you feel in control of labour and feel less anxious.
It offers a distraction from contractions.

When should I use a TENS machine?

You can use TENS from the very beginning of your labour. You could start using it when you’re getting regular contractions or backache. TENS is most likely to be effective in early labour though you may still need other forms of pain relief as your labour gets stronger.

Your midwife will not recommend starting to use a TENS machine if you’re already in established labour. However, if you started using TENS earlier and want to carry on using it, that’s is generally OK. You may need to take off the TENS pads if your baby’s heart has to be monitored electronically, because the pads could affect the signals to the monitoring machine.
