Instructions and Tips on how to get the most out of your TENS

How do I use my Elle Tens Plus

  • Start using your tens as early as possible, to maximise the building of those pain fighting endorphins
  • Attach the electrodes to your mid and lower back; two above the panty line (approx 4 cm either side of spine and 4-5cm below navel line), and two below the bra strap (approx 4 cm either side of spine and 4-5 cm above navel line)
  • Attach the electrodes to the leadwires and then into the top of the TENS, channel 1 for both of the pads on the bra line, and channel 2 for the pads on the panty line
  • Ensure the TENS is in 'Birth' mode
  • The machine will send pulses of electrical signals through skin to nerves. The sensation is similar to pins and needles, it can take a few seconds to adjust to the feeling but is quite painless and after a while you will barely notice it.
  • The 'Opti-Max Key' controls the depth of pulses and the 'Channel' keys adjust the intensity of the pulse for each electrode pad. Start at the lowest setting and turn it up as your labour progresses.
  • During contractions you press the ‘boost’ button which sends a more constant buzz through your lower back, blocking the pain of each contraction AND the Elle Tens Plus is the only tens available which will simultaneously time your contraction so you can easily track the progression of your labour all on one device
  • To recall your contraction history simultaneously press CH1 and CH2 buttons to display your last 5 contractions. BCT stands for 'between contraction times' and CT stands for 'contraction time'; the length the contraction is lasting. Use the Opti-Max button to scroll through previous sets of contraction times.
  • The electrode pads are re-usable and can easily be removed and reattached. Just replace the backing onto the sticky pad whilst not in use and ensure that your skin is clean and dry before reattaching. If you are in and out of a shower or bath during your labour, you may need to wait 10 mins for your skin to properly 'dry out' before reapplying the pads. Extra pads are also available to purchase.
  • As your labour progresses and the contractions become more intense the TENS will not be able to block all of the pain, however TENS can be safely used in conjunction with any other pain relief medication or method (other than water)

Great service

The tens machine was really helpful during my early labour. The service from Bliss Birth was very professional and convenient. I would definitely use this service again.

Loved using the TENS

The TENS machine was great to use and helped me during early labour very much! Service was easy to use and great value. When I got admitted to birthing, they were all surprised how far along I was as I didn’t seem in that much pain. Thanks Bliss Birth!

Such an incredible product!

This TENS machine was the best tool to get me through incredibly painful back labour. From when my surges started to just before pushing, the TENS machine was a massive aid to get me there. I highly recommend this product for any Mummas heading into birth ❤️ I wish I had this for my first birth!

It was such an easy process to order the TENS machine with Bliss Birth and even easier to extend the hiring period if I needed. The instructions on what to do from working the machine to what to send back was clear and easy to understand. Overall an amazing experience!

This photo was taken between surges, I don’t think I would have been smiling without this machine!

First pregnancy/labour experience and am forever grateful to have had such a convenient and effective aid for it. I now see it as a staple.
The hiring process and email communication was a breeze and very reassuring. The goodie bag and how to return it with the prepaid postage bag was beyond helpful and convenient (especially post birth with a flipped upside down daily schedule!)
I would highly recommend investing in this product especially knowing how easy the hiring + returning process has been curated by Bliss Birth. Super attentive.

Life saver while in labour at home

My contractions started really strong and I needed the tens machine almost immediately. The boost button was exactly what I needed to distract me from the pain while at home and on the way to the hospital. I would definitely recommend!

Really helped the labour experience!

Great affordable option to hire. Tens machine worked really well and the return process was made easy and I received good communication. Would definitely use service again!

Really Works

Had a really positive experience using the Tens Machine! Great delivery, easy to use instructions and really aided in my early labour at home up until mid labour in the hospital 🙏 Return was super easy with the pre sent return parcel, very handy when you're in the newborn whirlwind.

100% would get a tens machine again for labour!

Tens machine did wonders for labour pain! The boost function was amazing and helped with the intense contractions. Highly recommend, cant use while having an epidural though obviously so if you have to get an epidural fairly early it wont last long. But still worth it :)

Thank-you!

I hired a TENS machine through Bliss Birth for my second labour and am so pleased I did- I never took it off! It was an integral part of my positive physiological labour and assisted me to manage pain and intensity right up until my final push.
Delivery was also very prompt and returning it was simple!
Highly recommend!

All I needed

The most exciting delivery prior to the delivery of the main event (baby)! I love receiving my tens machine from Bliss Birth ( 3rd time now). From seeing "you got this mama" on the packaging to the contents inside it really is a motivational, empowering and valuable boost in preparation to give birth. The tens machine is very easy to use, the package has all you need and the return process is very simple. I have never been disappointed using bliss birth and i have always received my tens machine on time if not earlier which is a relief. The cost is very reasonable and I have nothing but good things to say about Bliss Birth and their products and service.

You won’t regret it!

I highly recommend this Labour TENS Hire company! The TENS machine was a lifesaver, providing much-needed relief during early labor at home and helping me stay comfortable through active labor. The rental process was simple, and the customer service was excellent, offering great guidance. It truly made a difference in my labor experience! I highly recommend this service to any expectant mums looking for a natural pain relief option!

Amazing

Product is amazing can not go through labour without it. Went to the hospital both births at 10cm because the tens machine helps so so much with contractions. Delivery, ordering and returning is so easy.

Such a positive birthing experience second time around

After a long unpleasant medicated (induction) first birth, I really wanted to my best (where possible) to have a different experience the second time around.

I did my research on a Tens machine and gave ut a go. Bliss was super easy, quick postage, cute pouch to keep, all the equipment you need and easy return instructions (including reminders - much needed when you are underslept).

It was honestly a great experience (as much as birth can be). I got the tens on early in labour, once contractions were regular (at 10min intervals for me). I had it on the entire time including when I was pushing and then turned it off as soon as baby was born. It was my rock during the process and love how easy it was to check your contractions timing, increase intensity as needed and just gives you something to rely on during the process - lets you feel « in control » during an intense process.

Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to try for an unmedicated birth or even in the early stages if you do end up getting an epidural. The best trick to make it work super well - get it on early to build up your pain endorphins

Highly recommend!

I wasn’t sure about hiring a TENS but read so many good reviews I thought I had nothing to loose! It was honestly a life saver. I can’t imagine getting through labour without it now. It was so easy for both myself and my husband to operate and compact enough that it never felt like it was in the way. Highly highly recommend. Thank you!

Best thing since sliced bread

Worth every cent to have a non invasive pain relief that I could control on my own, while waiting hours for epidural

TENS machine

I am so glad I got a TENS machine for my second birth, it really made a big difference!
It was so easy to order and arrived on time. I am glad I also got reminders to mail it back :)

A must use tool for physiological birth

I used the TENS machine for the birth of my second child. I didn’t use one on my first but after listening to many other women’s birth stories I knew I needed in my kit. I can’t recommend this machine highly enough. I laboured at home with just the TENS machine until 5cm dilated. I continued to use until transition/pushing. It was easy to use and I actually was able to set jit up by myself when labour had already started (don’t be me, practice before labour!) it was intuitive and I got the hang of it quickly. I believe this little machine enabled me to have an unmedicated, intervention free vaginal birth. I recommend to all mums to be to add to your birth kit!

Highly recommend hiring the TENS

I am so glad I hired the TENS - it got me through most of my labour and I loved how simple it was to use once I got the hang of it. I would definitely hire this again if needed in the future. It also arrived packaged so lovely & the whole hire & return process was easy. Thank you Bliss Birth!
