TENS Machine Hire
The must have item for your “go-bag”! A TENS machine offers drug-free pain relief for women in labour. Although there are many types of TENS, the maternity range have a BOOST button for extra support through each contraction/ surge/ wave.
TENS machines work by sending electrical impulses through electrode pads placed on your back. If you want to find out more, download the instructions linked below!
Did you know a TENS can also be used for relieving after birth pains too?
AND the Elle TENS+ can be configured to assist with pain relief after a caesarean!

Documents
Available for hire anywhere in Australia! Each TENS is posted via express post (free shipping included!) OR if you are based in Perth, you can opt to pick it up in person from me; I have been known to make a special delivery to a woman in early labour!
What's Included In Your Hire?
- Express postage to you - Australia-wide!
- TENS machine
- New batteries
- 4 new electrodes
- Lead wires
- Instructions
- Lanyard so you don’t have to hold it
- Pre-paid return postage satchel to send it back
How The Hire Works
Your TENS machine will be put into the post on the “Hire Start Date” you decide on booking for so please allow a few days for delivery. They are shipped in an express postage satchel. You can also opt for a "local pick up" if you are based in Perth (6163) and I will bee in touch to arrange this with you.
When you are ready to return your TENS, just pop everything back into the case and then into the pre-paid return satchel. Don't forget to sign the "dangerous goods" declaration on the front of the satchel before popping it in the nearest postbox. I don't reuse electrodes or batteries so don't worry if you have thrown these away!
Your TENS is due back when your hire period is finishing. The return postage satchels are regular speed post so please pop your TENS back in the post 3-6 business days before the end of your hire period. I recommend interstate orders are for a minimum of 6 weeks to avoid late returns.
What Makes Birth Sweet TENS Hire Different?
Firstly, your postage is included in your hire (no sneaky postage costs at checkout).
Secondly, you are hiring a TENS from a Physio! The instructions provided are next level. Included in your pack is a quick instruction sheet which has QR codes for video tutorials. You will also be emailed a comprehensive instruction manual with more detailed instructions if you're still stuck. In these instructions is also how to use the TENS for after birth pains... I suggest keeping your TENS around for an extra while to get a second use from it!
Key Featurees & Benefits
Birth mode: The Elle TENS Plus birth mode is specifically designed to provide natural pain relief during childbirth. So, you can focus, remain in control and empowered during your birth.
Pelvic mode: Use to help strengthen pelvic floor muscles and to treat post-birth incontinence. The Elle TENS Plus will use electrical impulses to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles to improve bladder control, vaginal tone, and increase sensation during intercourse.
Pain mode: Use for chronic and acute pain conditions such as back pain, shoulder pain, arthritis, sciatica, sports injuries, migraines, period pain and postoperative pain. The ElleTENS Plus will pass mild electrical impulses through the skin into the nerve fibres via electrode pads to stimulate endorphins to relieve pain.
Opti-Max Technology: Ideal to use in the final stages of labour or whenever you need extra power. Use to adjust the depth of the pulses – either up or down, depending on your needs. Opti-Max Technology is exclusive to all our Elle TENS Machines.
Contraction Timer: The Elle TENS Plus features an upgraded interface, including a contraction timer to measure the duration of your contractions (in seconds). Once the contraction is over, the timer will also track the time between contractions so you can pass it on to your midwife. This will help them understand how much your labour has progressed.
