Our machines are specially designed for childbirth, with simple controls and a Boost button to help you manage contractions naturally. Here’s how to get the most out of it.

1. Get Set Up Early

• You can begin using your Elle TENS 2 as soon as you feel contractions (often at home before going to hospital).

• Early use helps build up endorphins and keeps pain under control.

2. Apply the Pads

• Wash and dry your lower back (avoid oils or creams).

• Plug the leads into the unit before sticking pads on.

• Place two pads on either side of your spine, just above the buttocks.

• Place the second pair a few centimetres higher, around bra-strap level.

• Refer to your pad placement diagram if unsure.

3. Switch On & Select Mode

• Turn the dial to ON.

• The Elle TENS 2 comes pre-set for labour — simply start in Mode 1 for early labour.

• Increase intensity gradually until you feel a strong but comfortable tingling.

4. Use the Boost Button

• When a contraction starts, press and hold the Boost button (big purple button on the side).

• Release it when the contraction ends — the unit will return to the gentler background pulses.

• The change in sensation helps your body manage each surge more effectively.

5. Move Through Labour Stages

• Mode 1 – Early labour: steady pulses to encourage endorphins.

• Mode 2 – Active labour: deeper, slower pulses for stronger pain relief.

• Mode 3 – Can be used in transition or if you want a change in sensation to stay effective.

6. Keep It On

• Keep the machine running between contractions to maintain pain relief.

• Remove for showering or bathing (TENS is not waterproof).

7. Safety Reminders

• Do not use before 37 weeks unless advised by your midwife or doctor.

• Pads should only be on your back — never on your stomach or chest.

• Avoid use if you have a pacemaker, epilepsy, or certain health conditions without medical advice.

💡 Pro Tip: Practice with your partner before labour so they can help place pads and adjust settings when things get busy.Description text goes here

When your hire period is finished, please follow these steps.

• Remove & Dispose of Used Pads

  Carefully disconnect the electrode pads and dispose of them in your household rubbish. For hygiene reasons, we cannot reuse pads — these are yours to keep or discard.

• Gather All Items

  Please ensure the following are included in your return: TENS machine unit, Lead wires, Neck cord and belt clip (if included), Carry case/pouch, Spare Batteries.

• Clean The Machine

  Birth can be messy business! Please use the supplied alcohol wipe to carefully disinfect the machine and ensure all other items are returned clean and tidy.

• Pack It Safely

  Place the items back into the original carry case or protective bag. Put the carry case somewhere safe outside that we can easily access.

• We Collect The Machine From You

  We will message and let you know when we will pick the machine up, just let us know where you’ve left it. Somewhere we can access easily without disrupting you or pets. Please don’t leave outdoors for extended periods. We understand this is a special time for you, so we try and make this as hassle-free as possible. If we arrive to collect the machine as arranged and are unable to, we reserve the right to charge a further $30.00 service fee.

• Prearranged Courier Returns

  If a courier return has been agreed upon, please place your machine in the prepaid courier bag that was included in your TENS Hire Pack. The TENS Machine must reach us within 5 working days of your hire return date, otherwise a late fee will be charged at $10.00 per day unless prior arrangements have been agreed to by both parties.

• Refund of Bond

  Once we receive and check the TENS machine, your bond will be refunded to your original payment method.

  Refunds are usually processed within 3–5 business days.

  Tip: Please return your machine promptly at the end of your hire period so it’s ready for the next family. Late returns may incur extra hire fees.

• Give Us Feedback

  We’re a small business and we love to know how we could do better, so please let us know! And, if you’ve loved our service we would love it if you could leave us a review on Google!

• What is a TENS Machine?

  TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation — a safe way to relieve pain using gentle electrical pulses delivered through the skin. These pulses help to block pain signals from reaching the brain and encourage your body to release its natural painkillers: endorphins.

• Is it safe to use in labour?

  Yes. TENS has been used safely for decades in maternity wards and birth centres. It’s non-invasive, and has no side effects for you or your baby when used correctly.

• When should I start using it?

  We recommend starting in early labour, as soon as contractions become regular (don’t use a TENS prior to being in labour). Early use helps build up endorphins and keeps pain under control before it becomes intense.

• Can I use a TENS machine in the water?

  No. TENS machines are not waterproof and must be removed before showers, baths, or water births. You can put it back on afterwards.

• Will the TENS interfere with other pain relief?

  TENS can be used alongside gas & air, breathing techniques, movement, and massage. If you choose an epidural, the TENS will usually be removed but your medical professional can advise on this.

• How does the “Boost” button work?

  On labour TENS machines like the Elle TENS, the Boost button increases the pulse intensity during a contraction, giving extra relief. Release it once the contraction ends.

• Is it easy to use?

  Yes. Labour TENS machines are designed for childbirth. Most people find them simple to operate, even during contractions. You can ask your birthing partner to help too - if they need a job!

• Do I need to practise before labour?

  You can do. Some people like to be prepared, others find its something to focus on in the early stages of labour. You can always practise on your birthing partner so they can feel what you will feel - just start on a low setting!

• Do I need to bring it to the hospital?

  Yes. If you start labour at home, you can continue using your TENS at the hospital.
