TENS Pain Relief Unit Reviews

My mum bought one of these units last year and I couldn't wait to try it out. The TENS machine consists of the machine itself and four wires which you attach sticky pads to (you can also buy a smaller version to wear under your clothes). You then stick the pads to the afflicted part (read the enclosed booklet to find out the best place to ...  Read the complete review

A very effective pain relief option at a very good price. Although the pain was still there the TENS really helped to dull it and turn it into nothing more than a niggley pain at least for the early stages. As the labour progressed I found it very hard to keep remembering to turn it on and off during and after the contraction and as a ...  Read the complete review

My daughter used a Tens machine during labour and found it very effective. So, when she mentioned that it could be used for pain relief in other medical conditions I was very interested indeed. I have got two cracks on my lower spine and have been diagnosed with fibrositis. I am in a great deal of pain most of the time. I have been ...  Read the complete review

My first baby is due very shortly and I am going to try the Boots TENS machine during labour. Everyone I have spoken to about it has said that it is really effective and is defintely worth a go. The staff in Boots have been really helpful in explaining all about the unit and how to use it properly. It only costs 25 pounds to keep for a month, ...  Read the complete review

I hired one of Boots TeNS machines for the birth of my first child, not knowing whether or not it would be of any use whatsoever but determined to try every kind of pain relief available! I picked it up 2 weeks before my due date and started to use it almost immediately for the niggling back-ache all pregnant women are familiar with. ...  Read the complete review

I was extermely hopeful that I would not have to use drugs during labour and when I heard about TeNs machines made enquiries about hiring and buying. It turns out that Boots offer the best deal at £25 for a fortnight, with a fortnights extension available by phone call at no extra cost. Unfortunately my baby arrived 2 weeks early ...  Read the complete review

I read about TENS machines in various pregnancy magazines and decided that I'd like to try one when I went into labour. I saw an advertisement for Boots saying that you can hire them. I went in to book one, paid my money (about £25 I think - and I got Boots points on it too!!) and went back 2 weeks before my due date to collect it. ...  Read the complete review

When I was pregnant last year, I was desperate to try anything to ease the imminetn pain of childbirth (aren't we all!) so I booked a TENS machine to hire from our local Boots store. It cost me 27.50 for 6 weeks hire and I picked it up when I was 37 weeks gone (they had mucked up the original order as I was meant to get it 2 weeks ...  Read the complete review

Boots have a wonderful system whereby you can hire their TENS machines appx 3 weeks before your due date and keep it until the birth. From memory, this costed about £29 for a duration of 5 weeks or so and Boots were very flexible about charging you extra if you were very overdue (hence, you couldn't pick up a unit until 3 weeks before due ...  Read the complete review

I had decided that I wanted as little medication as possible when I was in labour so decided to hire a TENS machine from Boots. I collected the machine and everything was fine with it, I practised before hand and was sure that it would help when the time came. Unfortunately it didnt. I dont know if I was using it wrong or whether the position ...  Read the complete review

The unit works by transmitting low-frequency electrotherapy. This machine has two electrode pads which are adhesive. These electrodes must ...  Read the complete review

I discovered the Boots TENS Pain Relief Unit a few months ago after reading about it in a Health Care magazine. I have a spinal injury after an accident 10 years ago. I had been given a TENS machine to use by my local hospital. It was an extremely bulky piece of equipment. After reading about the Boots TENS I brought one to try ...  Read the complete review
