Rent a TENS Machine for Labour – Natural Pain Relief That Provides Comfort All the Way
Giving birth is one of life’s most powerful experiences – and it’s also a time when many want to feel safe, in control, and have access to pain relief without medication. Renting a TENS machine for labour has become a popular and well-proven method for natural pain relief. A TENS unit is easy to use, completely free from side effects, and provides relief during pregnancy, labour, and the first hours after birth.
With us, you can rent Elle TENS machines – a reliable and flexible support that works just as well at home as in hospital, and is a great complement to other methods such as gas & air or a birth pool.
What is a TENS machine?
TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. It works by sending gentle electrical impulses to stimulate the nerves in your lower back. While blocking pain signals from reaching the brain, TENS also encourages your body to release endorphins – your natural pain-relieving hormones.
Elle TENS is specially designed for use during pregnancy and labour. It’s simple to understand and easy to operate, even during contractions – perfect for first-time users.
Key Features That Make a Difference:
-
BOOST button – provides strong, instant relief during contractions
-
Contraction timer – helps track the time between contractions
-
Simple navigation – no complicated menus or settings
Why Rent a TENS Machine for Pregnancy and Labour?
TENS is a safe and natural way to relieve pain during:
For many, TENS provides enough relief to manage large parts of labour. Some use it throughout, while most find it works well in combination with other pain relief or coping methods.
When Can You Start Using a TENS Machine in Pregnancy?
There are no studies showing that TENS is harmful early in pregnancy, but we recommend waiting until after week 12. You can then start using it for pelvic pain or early contractions – and get comfortable with how it works before labour begins.
Once labour starts, it’s helpful to already be familiar with the device. For best effect, begin using the TENS unit in the latent phase, as there may be a delay before full pain relief is felt. For example, a randomised study of 326 women showed that TENS resulted in significantly lower pain perception after 30–120 minutes and also shortened the active phase of labour (Gallo et al., 2020).

Benefits of Renting a TENS Machine Alongside a Birth Pool
If you also rent a birth pool from us, you’ll receive a 10% discount on your TENS rental. While the TENS machine can’t be used in water, there are many benefits to combining the two pain relief methods:
-
Use TENS when contractions begin but you’re still resting or lying down
-
Use it while waiting for the birth pool to fill
-
Alternate between warm water and TENS to give your body a break during long labours
-
Easy to carry and can be used both at home and in hospital
If you’re planning to use the birth pool at home before going to the hospital – or if you’re planning a home birth but want to be prepared in case of a transfer – the TENS unit provides portable and reliable support. It stays with you every step of the way, offering a sense of continuity and control even if your environment changes.
