FAQ's of Elle TENS:
Q: How does Elle TENS relieve labour pain?
A: Elle TENS uses transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) technology to send mild electrical impulses through the skin via electrode pads. These impulses help block pain signals sent to the brain and encourage the release of endorphins, providing natural pain relief during labour.
Q: What is the process for setting up and using Elle TENS during labour?
A: Simply attach the provided electrode pads to your lower back as described in the instruction manual, connect them to the device using the lead wires, and switch on the unit. Choose your preferred stimulation mode, adjust the intensity, and use the Boost button for added relief during contractions.
Q: When should I start using Elle TENS in labour?
A: For best results, start using Elle TENS at the onset of early labour, as soon as contractions become regular. This helps the body maximize the natural pain-relief effects throughout the progression of labour.
Q: Where can the Elle TENS be used?
A: Due to its compact and battery-powered design, Elle TENS can be used comfortably at home, in hospital, or birth centers, wherever you choose to give birth.
Q: What benefits does Elle TENS offer over other pain relief methods?
