I'm Currently Feeling: 


Hiring TENS machines


Was just wondering how many ladies are going to use a TENS machine?

If you have bought it? or are just going to hire one?
if so how much was it to buy/hire? and what are the terms or hire? i mean how long can you keep it etc?
Also where did you hire it from?

Thanks all

I was thinking about possibly hiring one but I'm not sure. Knowing me I'll just never get round to it. Does anyone know whats more effective between gas and air or a tens machine?

I think the TENS is designed for the back ache for the long first part or labour and the gas and air is for throughout,you can mix both though.
