AUVON TENS for Labour in UK?

[MrsEnger]

Hi, I'm just 3 months to go, start to search for a good TENS for pain relief during labour.

I found lots of recommendations for MamaTens and ElleTens.
However I've got my eyes on AUVON tens for the moment (found on amazon) as it's got really good review for general purpose: has many functions (So can be used for generic reasons after labour), its battery is rechargeable; and apparently their pads last long. (They provide: 4 small Square Electrode Pads & 4 Large Rectangle Pads with 2 Lead Wires).

But my main purpose to buy one is for labour, of course. And I haven't found instruction on their site if it is suitable for labour.
So if anyone has used AUVON TENS for labour, your opinions will be really appreciated here.

Also do the midwives only allow certain types or brands of TENS in UK? Would they ban AUVON?

Thanks very much in advance .

Can't help with the particual brand but I did use a tens machine in labour. I have another tens machine for general use which doesn't have a labour setting so make sure you're certain is can be used in labour before getting it x

Thank you @FirstTimeBumps, that's helpful tips.

My maternity unit have ones for use during labour, I think it was just a boots own one

Thanks @dochas06

I think they all do the same thing so brand wouldnt matter? I borrowed one, no idea what brand.

Hmm , thanks @Keha.

I heard the maternity ones need to have 4 pads, but then, this tens has 4 pads anyway...

@mrsEnger

Could I ask did you get Auvon model as been thinking the same thing?

Thank you in advance

I did, it served its purpose and i passed it on to my mother in law for her back pain afterwards.
