Answers to your questions
How long will it take for my TENS unit to arrive once I place the order?

We also have expedited shipping such as 2-day air and next day air. Rates are shown on checkout.
Our preferred shipping carrier is UPS. We occasionally use USPS as an option, mostly for remote areas.
Can I use a TENS unit in labor if I am planning on having an Epidural?
Absolutely! Start the TENS unit as soon as you think you are in labor. A TENS unit is one of the few pain management options for early labor while you’re still at home! Did you know that early labor is two thirds of your labor?
You can use a TENS up until the point you decide you want an Epidural. In fact, using a TENS may delay or eliminate the need for an epidural!
I think I'm in labor, when should I start the tens unit?
The earlier the better! This gives a chance for your body to produce more endorphins. It’s most effective when used early in labor to give your body time to respond to the stimulation, which can take about an hour. We suggest to start the tens unit as soon as you think you are in labor
