Huge TENS fan here. I loved it. I only had a 1 hour 54 labour but it was HIGHLY intense and I had the machine on for most of that time. It definitely took my mind off things, and I didn't use the shower, so wasnt' a problem. Only cost $10 a week to hire so it's one of those things that if you hate it, so what , $10 out of pocket. I recommend trying it. Also I recommend hiring a couple o fweeks before and having a practice. xo
