Answers to your questions
How long will it take for my TENS unit to arrive once I place the order?
We’re located, and ship from Lexington KY USA!
We ship USPS or UPS mail, which usually takes 4-7 days depending on your location. We also offer priority mail, 2 day air (not including weekends) and next day air options
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

Client Feedback

This greatly helped with my labor. I was able to use it to work through my contractions and the natural birth without an epidural and pain medication. I am a physical therapist and I will be recommending this to a lot of my patients!

Renting a unit was so easy! They made it super easy to rent and return the unit and for such an affordable price. It made a big difference in my labor & delivery. Would highly recommend!

I had such a wonderful experience renting the TENS! My pain during labor was way more manageable while using it. Also ordering it and returning it was very simple and smooth. Will definitely do it again in future deliveries!

Great service. Paid for express shipping, received the package when I expected it. Return process was easy. Everything to execute the return was provided.

This TENS rental was perfect. Not only did it help me immensely during labor (I opted out of having a doula this time around), but the customer service at TENS for Labor is immaculate. Do yourself a favor, rent a TENS unit, and you will go further without meds. 10/10

Great product! Saved me! Couldn’t recommend more. Also amazing customer service.

I’ve ordered a TENS unit from this company twice, and both times, my order arrived on time and without any issues. The process was smooth, and everything worked as expected. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable place to purchase one.

Rented a TENs unit for my labor and delivery. Easy to order, came well packaged, everything looked new. Includes instructions on use and everything I need to return it. Thanks!

The training class was super informative and helpful! thank you for sharing that resource. I would definitely recommend this TENS to my clients!

I used the TENS unit at home early during labor and all the way to 7cm at the hospital. Unfortunately, it didn’t provide full pain relief through delivery but we got really far and I feel great about that. This company made it super simple to rent and return, great instructions on how to use, and I loved the ability to rent a higher end device but not be stuck with another thing to buy for keeps. Would definitely recommend and use again in a future pregnancy.

The entire process of renting, using, and returning was easy and streamlined. Would recommend to anyone!

My sister in law who lives in Australia mentioned she used a tens unit for her labor. I had never heard of a tens unit so I started researching and quickly found Tens for Labor. Working with them was easeful and they made sure our unit was here in time for our birth. I was able to labor naturally and believe using the tens was instrumental in that process. My midwives were impressed I had one as it is not commonly used in the US for laboring. I’m very grateful to this company for offering this service and if I were ever to have another child I would be using them again.

Renting the Elle TENS unit was absolutely instrumental in my unmedicated water birth. I only took it off during my initial hospital checkup and to get into the pool during the pushing phase. I am eternally grateful to TENS For Labor for offering this service. Thank you so very much!!

It was a good distraction in early labor but didn’t really touch the pain for my pitocin induced contractions later on in my induction. Thank you for fast shipping and customer service!

I am very satisfied with my experience of renting a Tens machine for my labor. My doula recommended using a TENS machine during labor and suggested this company to me. The process of renting the machine, returning the machine, and learning how to use the machine were easy to understand and went along seamlessly. My labor began with a scheduled induction and I labored 48 hours prior to receiving an epidural. The Tens was a God send in helping me get through each contraction in those 48 hours. Thank you for the lovely service you are providing to Mom’s like me. I highly recommend this company and incorporating this therapy into an expecting mother’s birth plan.

I received the Obi Tens quickly and am very happy with this product and the service!

It was a great interaction with customer support(Jillian Silva) to process the order and request for faster delivery of product.

TENS for Labor makes the TENS machine accessible: affordable and convenience. I don’t know what I would have done without the TENS machine during my labour. After giving birth, the process of returning this rented machine was easy, because the return sticker and packaging was already set when we were mailed the rental. It’s great that the pricing is affordable, machine works great, returning was seamless—and most importantly, no clutter of additional thing to keep at home and no contribution for the manufacture to make and deliver a new machine when a perfectly fine one already exists in the world!

As a doula,I ordered an Obi TENS for my clients to use. It arrived in less than a week. I wanted to try it to make sure I understood how it worked… And unfortunately my unit wasn’t working. I emailed Jill and she called me within the hour! She patiently explained and helped with troubleshooting, solved the problem, and walked me through effective use of my new TENS (which actually WAS working – PSA: it must actually be attached to a human to test it). I highly recommend both the unit AND the company behind it.

Jillian was very helpful and shipped the Tens unit right away for my wife. I highly recommend buying units from her. She has the best prices on these imported labor Tens units and is great to work with!

Second time I used a Tens system for labor and this unit was even better than the one I had before. The optimax function really made a difference. I used this device during my second unmedicated birth at a hospital. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in reducing the likelihood of medical interventions or interested in exploring options that give control to the birthing mother and allow her to move around – weather in hospital or in another setting.

This is a great and unique service! We didn’t want to buy a TENS unit for a one-time need in labor, and hate to create unnecessary clutter and waste. Plus the ones for sale online don’t have the same features as this one (which is specifically designed for labor and includes a boost button that gives the user the all-important sense of control, which really helps coping with contractions). The process from ordering to return was seamless and easy. They even included spare batteries, which we ended up needing to use (and a long interruption to go find batteries would have been VERY unwelcome in the moment!). The TENS made a huge difference in coping through early labor without relying on lots of pain medication. I also appreciate that there is a long enough “rental” period so that we had the unit after about 36 weeks in case of unexpectedly early labor, and we still had a couple weeks left to return it after a full-term birth. It was nice not having the pressure to put it in the mail immediately when we were overwhelmed with around-the-clock baby care. Highly recommend!

Recommended by my doula, the TENS machines rentable here are so much better than a unit you can get in a US drugstore because of the burst mode. This helped me so much during my labor and helped me accomplish my goal of an unmedicated birth. Thank you so much!

I could not have gotten through my completely unmedicated labor and delivery without the TENS Unit. I was able to labor at home until I was 6cm dilated using the TENS and kept it in the car on the way to our birth center and through the delivery of my son. Austin Childbirth Center made renting the unit super easy, from having a user friendly online ordering system to providing everything you need (even the label!) to return the unit. I highly recommend Jillian and the TENS For Labor and will use them again in the future.

I labored naturally for a very intense 5 hours and this tens unit helped me so much! Baby was sunny side up and I could feel my contractions in my back. This is such a wonderful tool for anyone in labor, so happy I had it.
