What is a TENS machine?

An 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
Build endorphins

The Elle Tens Plus is the ultimate in obstetric TENS, specifically designed for use during labour, and is perfectly safe for you and baby. TENS is the most effective pain relief you can use at home, and provides completely drug-free, natural relief from pain. The more comfortable and calm you are during the early stages of labour, the less interventions you are going to need, making it a must-have for your natural birth plan.

Should I choose the 4 week or 8 week hire?

Our 8 week hire is recommended for peace of mind to cover you through the most common weeks you could go into labour, plus a little extra to get it back to us in time. We recommend selecting a date to begin the hire period roughly a month before your baby's due date. We'll send the TENS to arrive on or as close as possible to the date you selected to begin your hire period, then you can pop it back in the prepaid return post satchel when it is due back 8 weeks later.

The 4 week hire option is available for those who are due sooner. For those who select the 4 week hire option ahead of time, we recommend selecting a hire period start date at least 2 - 3 weeks before your baby's due date and we will schedule the machine to arrive on or as close as possible to that date.

We have a 4 week hire with PRIORITY SHIPPING option for those who may have left it to the last minute to hire and need a machine ASAP. With this option, we will do our best to ensure the TENS arrives at your doorstep within 1 - 2 business days, with same day dispatch if you order before 12pm.

We will send you a friendly email reminder when your Elle Tens Plus is due back.

How fast can you get it to me?

HIRE NOW

Questions? We’ve got answers.

You can pre-book your hire now. One less thing to worry about! We’ll schedule your TENS kit to arrive 4 weeks before your due date and remind you when it’s due back 4 weeks after your due date.

Yes! We always have hire machines in stock. In the rare occurrence that there will be a delay with dispatch due to stock issues we’ll let you know ASAP and is likely to be 2 business days at most. Make sure you select Express post if you’re due in less than a month so we can make sure the TENS arrives before the baby does.

After you place your order you will automatically receive a PDF copy of your invoice which you can submit to your private health provider. Check that your Insurance covers ‘Pain Relief by Device’ or ‘Health Aids and Appliances’ cover. The rebate available differs between plans and providers, but may be up to 100%!
A guide to claiming your TENS hire or purchase on private health insurance

As the TENS uses electrical pulses to block pain signals to the brain, it is not able to be used when in water. But that doesn’t mean using a TENS is incompatible with a water birth! We recommend using TENS early on, when contractions are regular, and saving water for later when you are transitioning. Having lots of options in your birthing toolbox will mean you are empowered with choices.

A regular TENS machine from a chemist or Physio is great for painful joints etc but is missing a vital function – the boost button! Without this element a TENS machine is not an obstetric TENS, and you can’t amplify the pain fighting sensation during contractions so it’s going to be nowhere near as effective for your birth.

Labour TENS Hire

Highly recommend

Great price for the length of hire time. Arrived quickly. I used the TENS machine through my labour and believed it really helped me get through.

Bliss Birth is Amazing

Bliss Birth made everything so easy from hiring to returning my TENS. The TENS itself was incredible - I used it for about two and a half hours when I was experiencing hip and back pain in active labour at home as my main form of pain relief and it definitely enabled me to labour at home for longer. I was still wearing it when I arrived at the birth centre and only took it off just before I was entering the bath for a beautiful water birth. Thank you so much Bliss Birth!

Couldn’t have gotten through labor without it!

Honestly, I don’t know the magic behind the TENS machine, but it’s just that magic. I was able to have an unmedicated birth hands down due to my bliss birth tens machine. The boost function was an absolute must, and with each surge allowed me to focus back on my breath! Highly recommend!

LOVED IT!

Absolutely loved the tens machine. Was so helpful during my labour with my daughter who was posterior and didn’t turn until birth! The tens and intense back massage was so helpful and I would definitely suggest it to all my friends. Used the tens from early labour right up until I got in the bath. Thank you for an amazing hire service and the ease of returns makes it so great when having a newborn

Amazing resource

I used the bliss birth tens machine for almost my entire labour, it was amazing at providing some distraction and relief when I needed it. The hire and return of the machine is very simple, everything comes packaged ready to go! Would highly recommend

Amazing! The whole process was so easy and the product and parts were great quality. I found using the TENS machine super helpful during labour. I used it before I went to hospital and kept it on at hospital until I eventually got my epidural. The battery lasted 10 hours using the boost button too. I would definitely recommend it anyone!
