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.

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.

So incredibly worth it!

The TENS machine I hired enabled me to have a calm and blissful birth. I honestly believe I couldn’t have done it without it! If you’re on the fence about whether or not to hire one, DO IT! I was unsure on whether it would make much of a difference but was so glad I hired the TENS machine in the end! Compared to my first labour, this one was amazing! If I have a third baby, I will not hesitate to hire another! Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Easy and convenient Tens hire

Bliss Birth made the hire and return process so easy! There were clear instructions on how to use the machine and the inclusion of the postage paid return envelope made it quick and simple to return the machine after use. The Tens machine itself was great for labour - it’s my second time using it during labour and it definately helps take the edge off an unmedicated birth!

Worth every penny!

I was initially unsure whether to hire a TENS machine for the birth of my daughter but I am so glad I did. I wish I had done so for the birth of my son. It was a lifesaver and would recommend anyone hoping/planning for a birth without an epidural hire a TENS machine. It kept me calm and helped significantly with the pain of each contraction. This was the only pain relief I used and could not have managed without it.

The hire process with Bliss Birth was so easy and straightforward. The machine arrived quickly and was so simple to return. Highly recommend this service.

does exactly what you need it to.

this service is great. the flexibility to add more time on and the quality of the product and customer service are great.

Helpful with pain

The TENS machine helped me through my 2 days of early labour and my birth. It was my main pain diversion and I was happy with my birth. I was surprisingly quiet with the contractions using nose breathing and the TENS machine. It’s great to have some support in early labour because the hospital part of the birth was relatively short. We could measure the time between contractions using the TENS machine. Bring extra batteries just in case. The machine arrived punctually and was easy to return.

Best Small Business & A Must-Have For Birth!

I’ve used the Bliss Birth TENS machine hire for both of my births now and I can’t recommend them enough! It’s such an amazing service and I honestly couldn’t have done birth without the TENS! An absolute must-have for physiological labor. Thank you Bliss Birth for making such an amazing business!

Wouldn’t labour without it!

Cannot recommend these enough - 2 induced labours with only a tens machine for pain management! Love this!!
