As I was coping well with labour, I kept it on the entire time as I was too afraid switching it off would make the pain worse, so I don't really know to what extent it reduced the pain. It was comfortable to wear and easy to take the pads on and off when required, were I to have another child I would happily use this again.

Sophie: If I could change one thing about the product it would be the range of settings that it offers from A to C. I managed to get to 6cm with no other pain relief, I was transferred to labour room at 6cm where they took it off after about 10 mins and replaced with gas and air and baby arrived less than an hour later. The MamaTENS machine works on two AA batteries, so it’s a good idea to have a spare set handy (on average the batteries should last between 10-15 hours). To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Endorphin Release: At low frequency settings, and slightly stronger outputs, TENS drives the motor nerves to produce a small repetitive muscle contraction. NATURAL PAIN RELIEF: the Perfect Mama+ utilises TENs technology which has been used to relieve pain worldwide.

It will also not take up much space in your hospital bag and comes with a storage pouch so you know where everything is. Gemma: The only thing I would change about this product is some way to contain the wires, when I was moving around at times I found they got a bit tangled, but this is a minor issue. We understand that everyone experiences labour differently - that is why we have developed a boost function. Pain Gate: The MamaTens stimulates sensory nerves (which carry touch and temperature signals), which go along the same connections in the spine as the nerves carrying pain.Using adhesive electrodes it is a great alternative, or used in conjunction, with epidural / gas and air to help relieve pain during labour. Endorphin Release: At low frequency settings, and slightly stronger outputs, the MamaTens drives the motor nerves to produce a small repetitive muscle contraction. You can adjust the level up or down anytime as needed, and you may need to increase the stimulation as your body gets used to the sensation or your labour progresses.
