TENS machine - how long do pads last for?

[Luk]

I've just bought a TENS machine and wondering how many times the sticky pads can be taken on and off before they need replacing? FTM so no idea what I'll prefer when in early labour yet, but I'd like to try going between bath and TENS (after drying thoroughly!) so just wondering if the pads will hold up with lots of on-off

Yes they’ll be fine. I used the tens machine until I was ready to push which is when I got into the birthing pool. It really did help. You won’t want to take it off. Make sure your machine is suitable for use in pregnancy and has a boost button for contractions
