Product details
Boots Pharmaceuticals TENS Maternity Unit uses TENS technology to provide drug-free pain relief for women during the early stages of labour.
It is the only TENS unit in our range that is suitable for use during labour as it has two pre-set modes; boost mode for use during contractions and another for use between contractions.
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) works by preventing pain being passed into nerve fibres and by stimulating the production of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers.
Our TENS Maternity Unit is easy to use. At the onset of labour, apply the four pads to your back, as shown in the instruction leaflet. Switch the unit on. You will feel a pleasant pulsing sensation. This sensation will help to increase your production of endorphins. When experiencing a contraction, simply press the boost button for a surge of power to combat the pain. When the contraction ends, press the boost button again and the cycle will restart.
- Batteries included
- With storage pouch

Poor quality
had purchased boots maternity unit for my delivery, I'm writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with this product.
It does not deliver at all the description or the purpose it's designed for.during labour when I used, the vibration button doesn't function as it has to be, when the two options needs to be constantly changed even u mistakenly press 3_times the machine gets off, which is useless because when you are in pain the machine needs to operate as it is pressed,the pad does not absorb the vibrant as you press and keeps falling out too.
I gave previously used other tens machine which works great.
I'm greatly disappointed in this purchase,regret buying this product.

Really helped with early labour
I found this really helpful when I was in early labour and on the way to hospital. It really made a difference during contractions and being able to control the intensity was great. It was very easy to use, definitely recommend.

Better than expected
Great little TENS machine. It worked well for me through my contractions. Pads stayed sticky for much longer than expected.
