TENs machine- need alternatives!

I'm pregnant and would love a TENs machine for labour but I'm allergic to adhesive Confused

Can anyone suggest a safe alternate?

I'm also planning on hypno-birthing, wave comb etc if possible.

The comb is a good shout. As far as I know, it works along similar principles of stimulating different pain receptors that essentially distract you from the sensation of the contractions.
I'm also planning to use hypnobirthing (breathing), water (pool) and counter pressure applied by my birth partner.

I believe baby care tens, the makers of the Elle tens used to do hypoallergenic pads. Maybe these would be suitable? Think you can probably give the company a ring and ask them for advice
