A TENS machine is the ultimate best friend in labour!
There to hold your hand through every contraction.
No matter what type of birth you are planning, having a TENS machine in your birth kit is a must!
TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. The TENS machine works by sending small electrical impulses through the skin via electrodes which are placed on your back. These impulses work by altering your perception of pain, effectively "overloading" the brain with stimuli, providing a natural pain management solution.
TENS machines offer distraction and focus during contractions, promoting the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain relievers. This dual-action approach not only alleviates discomfort but also enhances your birthing experience by empowering you with control and comfort.
The Elle TENS Plus machine is Australia's leading labour TENS machine with its sleek and compact design, it allows you to stay mobile and move without restriction. It is recommended to start using the TENS machine in early labour and the BEST part about a TENS machine is that you can start using it at home. When birthing at a hospital it will also be with you during your car ride and walk to the birth suite.
Hiring a TENS machine for your birth couldn't be easier!
Simply enter the date you wish to receive your TENS machine into the calendar above (we recommend ordering your TENS machine to arrive around 4 weeks before your 'due date' or by 36 weeks of pregnancy), select your hire duration (4 or 6 weeks) and we will aim for you to receive your order ON or AROUND your selected date.

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. 🤍
The TENS machine was a game changer in my labour experience. I used it from the moment my contractions began right up until my baby was born! The TENS machine was the only pain relief I needed and enabled me to bring my baby into the world safe and healthy! I can’t recommend this product and service more highly!
I have used this tens twice now and both times it has been an amazing assistance during my labour. The sensation it delivers is able to mitigate the pain of labour enough to make it tolerable during first stage. And being able to use it to count contractions and time between is great
The tens machine was a great tool during labour, I highly recommend it. Hatchling Store had fast shipping & great communication.
I could not have had the amazing birth experience I had without the tens machine, I could not recommend it enough! If you are on the fence, it is 100% worth hiring & having a machine available.
