Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

More and more women are avoiding harmful drugs to ease the pain caused by childbirth. Instead, they are choosing TENS; a drug-free, non-invasive method of pain relief, which works in harmony with the body, and is recommended by midwives.

Thanks to its power, simplicity, attractiveness and comfort, MamaTENS is the most popular TENS machine in the UK. A recent customer survey showed that 90% of mothers who used MamaTENS would use it again.

TENS works by stimulating the body's own natural defences against pain. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) has an excellent reputation as one of the safest, most effective forms of modern pain control available to women during childbirth. The treatment is medically approved, widely recommended, and totally free of side-effects for both mother and baby.

The MamaTENS transmits gentle, electrical signals through the skin via four self-adhesive pads, positioned on the back. These harmless impulses attack pain in two ways: by stimulating the release of endorphins, the body's own pain relieving hormones, and by stimulating the "pain gate", which stops pain signals from reaching the brain.

Following extensive research, the MamaTENS has been especially designed for use during labour. Digital technology and pre-set programmes eliminate the need to fiddle with dials, making it easy to choose the correct programme and achieve the desired level of intensity.

The three programmes are used progressively during the labour, starting on programmes A and B, which stimulate endorphins, through to programme C, which has a ramp facility and targets the Pain Gate. The integral Boost Button quickly raises the levels of pain relief, for use during contractions.

By using MamaTENS, the mother remains mobile, lucid, and in control of her own pain relief. When used from the first signs of labour pain, it helps her to remain at home for longer, as well as being suitable for use in the hospital. MamaTENS is also beneficial after the birth, easing post-natal pains as the uterus contracts and helping to manage the discomfort of an episiotomy or tear. It is even effective for post-caesarean pain.

MamaTENS can also be used for general pain relief, such as back or period pain, so long as it is not used before the 37th week of pregnancy. With this in mind, it is an ideal pain-relief device to have around the home, suitable for all members of the family. Replacement electrodes are available; for hygiene reasons, fresh pads should be used for each person.

The MamaTENS is supplied as a complete kit with full instructions, a pictorial guide, and a pack of four 100x50mm pads with integral leads. This unique feature ensures that the MamaTENS is the most hygienic maternity TENS on the market. The MamaTENS (unit only) includes a two-year guarantee. Should you have any questions or require more advice on the use of MamaTENS, we also run a helpline on 0845 230 4647.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, 25 Dec 2008
By Amena Farooq (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this when it was £29.99 on Amazon which is what you would pay to rent it from Mothercare. It is easy to use and fairly convenient because of the belt clip and and neck cord. I spent the first 40 hours of labour at home (slow contractions) and was really glad I had this to keep me going. I ended up using it (and it alone) for the remaining 9 hours of labour at the hospital too.

It took the edge off the pain and helped me to manage the contractions better. The intensity adjustment button was a bit hard to press (manufacturing defect?) and I used this button a good deal, so I had to keep checking the screen to make sure the intensity had gone up when I'd asked it to, but otherwise it was fine. I would also invest in a spare pack of electrodes because mine kept slipping off the spot and needed readjusting (although they did not lose their effectiveness because of this) and I felt that they should have had better adhesion.

At £19.99 (current price) I'd say this is a great bargain - remember, this is all you'll have while you labour at home and it could take ages!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the money, 5 Feb 2009
By A. Firth (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very useful in the early stages of labour, especially the boost feature during contractions. I would not have been without it. The only issues I had were that the button sometimes had to be pressed twice to get it to work, and the programmes took a bit of understanding, so it's definitely worth a practise to familiarise yourself (and/or your partner) with it before you're actually in labour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really excellent, 2 Aug 2009
By S. Slucock (Glasgow, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this in preparation for the very recent birth of my little one after we were shown it at an antenatal class. I bought it rather than renting as it was only £10 extra to buy rather than rent and I wanted to know that I had it ready regardless of when I went into labour. The TENS machine was very effective, particularly in the early stages of labour. It's very easy to use and has 3 different programs you can use through labour as your contractions increase. The boost button is also excellent, just remember to switch it back to pulse mode after each contraction or you won't get the benefit of it later! Really pleased I had this with me for my labour.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Quality / Poor Customer Service
Used it once on myself (husband) before trying for real on my wife and it worked fine. Came to use it for reeal and it did not work. No response from MamaTens. Poor, very poor.
