Sadly didn’t get to the chance to use the TENS machine this time around but hire process was easy and and postage was fast. Great value :)

I completely forgot to hire a tens unit until the last minute - an essential for the low intervention home birth I had planned. Tayla was incredibly helpful and responded immediately at night to assist me, and had the unit in the post to me the next morning. As it turned out, I needed an urgent hospital induction that turned into an unplanned c-section instead, and the TENS was no less essential - it got me through hours of very painful back labour, and kept me grounded and connected to home and my low intervention pain strategies. I kept it on right up until I was transferred to the operating theatre for surgery. I wouldn't have gotten through a very scary and intense experience without it. Whatever direction your birth takes, this is a powerful supportive tool.

This was my second birth using a TENS and it was a great tool to help me labour calmly at home, in the car and at the hospital before moving into water and having and having an intervention free birth. It was a really powerful tool to keep me grounded and progress through transition (the hardest part of my labour!).

I hired the tens machine for the first time and omg, what a life saver. I hadn’t used one of these before and previously had two unmediated births but this was the absolute distraction I needed! 1000% recommend. Everything was provided with ample information and instruction plus it was extremely prompt post. Thanks so much Tayla x

I had never used a TENS machine before and didn’t know about them when I had my first but I am so glad I had one this time around because it made a huge difference coping with contractions. I had an unmedicated water birth and not only was the TENS a great tool during labour but I loved the birth comb my hire came with as that was also something I hadn’t used my first birth but absolutely loved and found really helpful this time around. It was easy to set up and use and the hatchling store had packed it all so nicely with easy instructions and a hand written note which is always nice to get. The whole process of hiring it was super smooth and I’ll definitely be hiring again in the future if we have more babies, can’t recommend hatchling enough!!!

The TENS machine was a lifesaver during my recent labour. It was great for managing the pain and was so easy to use. The boost button was great for stronger contractions. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a drug-free option for birth!

Tens+ machine was super helpful for smooth and positive labour experience! Quick delivery, amazing service and easy to return.

Service and communication from Hatchling were great - my machine arrived early to allow for a public holiday and return was super easy (and saved on unnecessary packaging). The cost was also highly competitive.
The machine itself provided great relief for stage 1 labour for me, and I would hifly recommend hiring one. The only negative was that the batteries did run out sooner than expected noting my stage 1 was only a few hours so it would be helpful to be prompted to have extra batteries handy.

This is my second time using the TENS machine for hire from the Hatchling Store! I loved using the TENS machine as the only tool to birth my two beautiful babies. Tayla makes the whole process for purchasing, hiring and returning the TENS machine so easy! She included all information on how to use the TENS machine (which is great for your birthing partner to review) and a personal note that makes you feel so inspired to birth your baby! Love love love everything about my experience with the Hatchling Store!

This is my second time purchasing from the Hatchling Store!
Great product! Love the pink!

Thank you for the amazing TENS machine — it was by far the most effective tool for managing pain during labour and made my unmedicated birth possible. Delivery was super prompt too. Highly recommend!

The tens machine I hired from Hatchling was an absolute lifesaver during the early stages of labour especially - ended up only using that and nitrous oxide and feel like it helped us to have the birth experience we were hoping for. The process to hire and return was so easy and the long hire period came in handy going past our due date.

I’m so glad this tens machine was available when I needed it. I went into labor at 39+3 and it was my second birth. I started having contractions at about 1am but they weren’t strong enough to fully wake me up. When I woke up to my daughter at 4:30am I realised labor was happening and things went really fast. I called my friend to come watch my toddler so we could head to the hospital and at this time my contractions were 5 mins apart. By the time we got half way to the hospital they were 2 or less and I put the tens machine on and kept it on till I delivered.
We got to the hospital and I walked quickly to the front and as soon as I touched the entrance of emergency my waters broke and my partner put me in a wheel chair and took me upto the birth suite. I was rushed into a room and within 15 minutes my son was born at 7:05am. It was the dream unmediated birth I always wanted and I can’t believe I almost didn’t make it to the hospital. The tens machine made this experience so much easier on my body and mind. Thank you 🙏🏽

On Wednesday 7th May I had a membrane sweep. Until Saturday evening I had some inconsistent cramping. Saturday night contractions got to 5 minutes apart then stopped overnight after being admitted to hospital for fetal observation.

At 7.30am May 11, I had my waters broken to start the process of labour. Some niggles here and there till 10.30. I put my tens machine on and by approximately 12.45 I was 8cm dilated. By this stage my pain had been managed perfectly with just the TENS alone using the boost button myself.

Once 8cm my husband took over pressing the boost button while I used gas to help with the increasing pain. My midwife would adjust the settings and position of the pads accordingly. Epidural was a no go at this point as I was too far into my labour. I kept persisting until 1.38pm my precious Bub was born after 8 minutes of pushing.

I can’t thank you enough for giving me the freedom to take control of my labour until assistance was needed.

On the 26th of April at 11:45pm I went into labor with our daughter.
After laboring on my way for 5 hours it was time to get the tens machine out.
A further 7 hours I was able to remain at home whilst utilising the tens machine.
After 12 hours it was time to go to hospital where things started to progressed.
I would not have been able to push through as long as I did with pain and being calm at home like I did if it wasn’t for the tens machine.
After a 30 labor, our beautiful daughter was born.
I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to hire the tens machine like I did.

Highly recommend Tayla and her service. Prompt responses and easy to place an order.

Will definitely have this on my list for next time. 🤍
