Spare pads for TENS machine?

I'm planning on hiring a TENS machine for labour. Is it worth buying extra pads? If I decide to take it off to get in the shower but then get out & want it back on can I reuse the original ones?

You can reuse them fairly well but I found they slowly lost their stick. I used it over three days of prelabour and labour and by the end they were slipping off sometimes.


Excuse my sucky spelling, I'm on my iPhone

The one you hire may have spare pads, ours did. But if not I would definitely buy spare ones! Would rather be prepared :D

Tens is awesome and the pads are reusable!

sometimes you get dodgy pads so I'd buy spares. I own a TENS for back pain and have experienced brand new pads sticking worse than older ones. So I err on the side of caution.

Thanks. I think I'll get a spare set just in case.

Are you hiring it through the hospital or privately? I'd like to hire one too!
Thanks :-)

I'm hiring from birthpartner.com.au Cheaper than hospital I think. There are lots of online hire places all very similar. I had just seen a couple of positive reviews on that one, no other special reason for my choice.

Thanks, I'll check it out..
