[Helsbels]

... Had one last time from Boots but can't find it on their website this time, any ideas, please? Can't bear to be without one in July!!!! Thanks

Boots stores have them you can hire. Just take proof of address.

Lloyds Chemists - that's where I got mine from last August. Boots tols me they weren't doing them anymore

thanks - I'll try both -

just ordered one from here:

babycaretens

should get it tomorrow on special delivery. it was £22.95 i think. HOWEVER, paid online and havent received a confirmation email. Sent them an email and got my mail returned!! So.... you may want to try somewhere else. Try a search on the web.

you can also hire them from mothercare.

I got one from Naturesgate and they even sent it to Switzerland !

Boots used to do them but when I had ds, last July, they'd stopped ? something to do with quality control (can't remember what the problem was). Not sure if they've resumed again. Anyway, plenty of other sources here.
Good luck!

I got mine from babycaretens.com, and it was pretty good. I also ordered the 'Woman's Guide to Drug Free Pain Relief' book, which I didn't feel was worth the money (£5.99 for a 25 page booklet)

Mothercare and Boots hire them out. Babycaretens are the cheapest. I just ordered one on Saturday. Also the hospitals have some which they hire free but its a case of first come first served.
hth

i posted the place where i got mine on another thread afew wmonths ago....
cheaper that boots etc....

can't for the life of me find it though.....

search for my name and TENS and see what you come up with,,,

Just thought I'd add to this thread and mention I hired mine online from Maternity Tens Hire and was very pleased with the service and the condition of the unit. Found it invaluable for the birth, and have no hesitation recommending them to anyone.

Me too Georgina. Same place, same good service and great help in my labour.
