Best place to hire a TENS machine?

7 replies

I'm now 36+6 and wasn't going to use a TENS machine at all during labour, but other new mums have convinced me to get one after all...I'm not sure about buying one though so where's the best place to hire one from? I know Boots do them but they're pretty expensive and I don't know which kind to go for. Any recommendations?

Interested in the answer also, didn't use TENS last time but heard enough good things about it I'm considering giving it a go this time around.

Also interested in this! Shamelessly place marking Blush

I got mine from Birth Ease, rental was about £18, I think. Not that I got the chance to use it! They were the cheapest I found, and provided a good service, would recommend them.

Got mine second hand on Ebay (an expensive one with a boost button) for much cheaper than new, was absolutely fine, came with a spare unused pad set.

I got mine second hand on eBay too. One of the Elle tens with boost button. Cost about the same as hiring one. I used it for both my births and then sold it again and made the money back.

Another second-hand from eBay one here. Can't remember the brand but it had a boost button. It was the same one the local hospital hire out, and it cost me the same as hiring one would have.

I got mine through Kiddicare, it cost £15. I did use it and found it helped.
