I would definitely recommend Bliss Birth to any expecting mums, the process was really straightforward. The TENS machine itself seemed to relieve some pain - or at least provide a distraction!
Third time labouring and I wish I knew about this product the first 2 times! For the first time I was able to birth without an epidural after being induced with Pitocin (both previous births I had received an epidural during inductions, given I tried to fight through the contractions until they became too painful). The TENS was very simple to use and a great relief along with the birthing comb also from this store. I used TENS and the comb solely from the start with mild contractions up until pushing where I then continued to use TENS in addition to gas. Highly recommend this product, I couldn’t do it again without it!
I found the TENS machine really changed the game when it came to the mental toll that contractions can have on you. Being able to time the contractions using the TENS machine and feel your progress made the biggest difference between my first birth and my second (didn’t have TENS for my first birth and ended up with an Epidural).
Having the TENS for my second birth gave me the ability to have an unmediated birth that I’m really proud of.
Would recommend hiring the machine, I know I will again for the next kid!
Dealing with bliss birth was too easy especially returning the product. Bliss birth thought of everything.
I couldn’t wait to use the tens machine for my labour. Turns out it wasn’t for me. Won’t know unless you try.
I also brought a bag of red raspberry leaf tea! How good! Definitely helped soften my cervix. Drink from 36weeks
Cannot recommend a TENS machine for managing labour pain enough, helped me get through it. So great you can hire it and worth every dollar.
Even as someone with an avowed dislike of lavender, I thought the scent was quite nice. I was too unsure to use before I was in labour, but it was nice to be able to mist our bedroom. We only had one small chance to use the oil because things progressed quickly, but I’d recommend to a friend. Anything that gives you or your partner a feeling that you can ‘do’ something during labour is a worthwhile product!!
The tens absolutely got the through so much of my labour and helped me achieve the intervention-free vbac I was hoping for. It gave me something to focus on during contractions and I really only took it off to get in the bath at the very end otherwise it might have got me through the entire thing! I would recommend to anyone - the ease of ordering and receiving the beautiful package in the mail is an extra touch that makes the experience so worth it.
First time mum and definitely couldn’t have lasted through to 5cm dilation without the TENS machine. Easy to use and fits in your hand so it’s not awkward to hold
The bliss birth hire and returns process was so simple (especially post when you have other things to worry about)
The TENS machine was great to have and provided something else to focus on during contractions
I wish I had this for my first birth.
I used just the tens machine through my active labour, no medications or gas. I felt in control and so calm during this time.
If you’re in the fence about trying the tens, do it. I highly recommend getting it for labour
Very glad I hired the tens machine, I used it for almost the whole of labor and it really helped me stay home longer and have an unmedicated labor, I'll definitely be getting it again for future pregnancies
Definitely recommend. I wasn’t sure about using a TENS for my second birth, but it was helpful having it while I laboured at home, and I REALLY appreciated having it when we were driving to hospital with contractions 1.5 mins apart. As my husband said, it felt like we could do ‘something’. I feel that it did help provide pain relief, but I most appreciated the distraction. It was easy enough to work, although having labour progress so quickly meant I didn’t get the hang of all the functions and had to get my husband to do it sometimes, but that was ok too.
The TENS shipped very quickly and was super easy to send back.
If you are thinking of a birth comb, I also appreciated the distraction it provided in early labour and in the car.
Thank you bliss birth from start to finish your customer service and product was exceptional.
Would recommend to any woman. X
Super simple process of delivery and return. Used the TENS for early and active labour and it was amazing, so effective and easy to use. 10/10 recommend!
I’ve hired a tens machine through this company for both of my pregnancies. Very good service and everything you need is sent and all instructions are easy to follow. I would recommend to Bliss Birth to include instructions to the user to bring a spare set of batteries!! After using the tens machine for about 2.5 hours in my latest birth, my batteries died. Luckily I brought a spare set with me and by then I actually didn’t need it anymore. Either including a spare set or reminding the user to bring their own would definitely be useful if you intend to use this for more than a couple of hours.
The service was exceptional, as was the product….but during labour I completely forgot to use it 😂 so I can’t comment on the usefulness of the Tens itself.
This is a two part review… a review of the machine and a review of the business!
I desperately wanted to labour spontaneously but at 41 weeks made the decision to be induced. As such I didn’t get to labour at home the way I was anticipating. However, once in hospital I experienced around 8 hours of pre-labour contractions that ranged in intensity. The tens provided exactly the needed pain relief during this time, and I’m sure would have functioned in the same way had I labored at home.
Bliss birth were fantastic to deal with. A really streamlined hiring system where the tens is posted to you, with the option to extend if required during the hire period and easy to return with ore-addressed mail bag. I did a 4 week hire, beginning 2 weeks before my due date. For peace of mind you could hire earlier and add time as needed. It was super helpful to get email reminders that the hire period was finished (because newborn baby brain fog is unreal) and it was very gentle, not incessant or stressful with threats of additional charges etc. that some hire companies utilize.
Overall a great experience and I will definitely be using Bliss Birth again if I have any more babies in future 💕
Delivery of the TENS machine was quick, the machine was super easy for myself to use and for my partner to set up for me. It really helped me through each contraction, I’d highly recommend and will definitely use again in the future!
Worth every penny and got me through early labour and a natural birth without epidural. Service delivered bang on schedule and will be using to support with afterbirth cramping.
The tens machine was super helpful to me in my labour. I had a home birth after cesarean and the tens machine helped me achieve the unmedicated birth that I had been hoping and praying for . I also used it a few times before I went into labour as I had terrible lower back pain.
