Best website for hire of TENS Machine

Does anyone know the cheapest/best website for hiring a maternity TENS?

I think there's one called MamaTens which had the new, up to date one with the booster for contractions and it's about £27 + return P&P of about a fiver (although why they make this an extra charge i've no idea!!!) They also charge extra for an additional set of pads for you to try them out before going into labour. Is this really necessary?

Anyone know of anything cheaper (for a decent one)?

I used Boots first time then Nature's gate but actually didn't use it second time around.

I found Boots really good -came with spare pads, batteries etc. Booked it in, and collected from, local branch but when you'd finished with it you just returned it in prepaid package (so didn't even have hassle of having to go into town to the branch to return it)

Got mine same place as happy bunny. Tried it out and it works really well. Very professional service, got here the next day.

I've always hired mine from Boots. Latest one (lasts October) was £25, with returnable £25 deposit. But I really wouldn't recommend it. It was very fiddly to use, and the safety clasp on the neck string kept coming undone if I rocked too vigourously, so the bloody thing would unplug itself mid-contraction. Other TENS units I've used were fantastic though, so would still recommend using a TENS.

I got mine from same place as HappyBunny & DivaSkyChick, really good service, easy to use, spare batteries and worked really well for me. Would definitely recommend.
