Babycare TENS ELLE TENS for dysmenorrhoea
I have dysmenorrhoea and my monthly pains are pretty nasty, with fainting, D&V and being unable to move for a couple of hours as I am frozen in agony.
I'd heard the maternity tens machines would be good for this, and I was actually excited waiting for my monthly time to come around, having purchased this a few days before that time.
I placed the pads exactly as shown and switched on, playing around with the different modes, intensity and Boost button. There is no doubt that you get electrical stimulation, but in my case it felt like it made no discernible difference to my pain levels, and I've just had another two days of debilitating pain after parting with almost £50.
I genuinely don't know if I was expecting too much, but having spoken to a midwife who said her opinion was that they helped women in labour considerably, I thought, it had to be worth a punt.
I'm not sure if it's worth sending back under their 30 day money back guarantee (which is a really fair offer, and suggests that this must work for a lot of customers), or whether to try again next month. But I'm not sure what I could do differently.
I might try contacting the company for advice first. But if there was further advice to be had, I'm pretty sure they'd publish it in their instructions included with the product. 🤔
The machine itself is easy to set up. The pads are a bit tricky to place if you are doing it singlehandedly, as I was, so two mirrors to check their placement is useful.
It took a bit of getting used to keeping them on and going to the loo without disturbing the pads, but I think you get used to that, and it's not like i would be using it on a daily basis.
The boost felt good, I have to say, like somebody was giving my back a deep massage (although didn't offset pain), but whenever you turn it up to the next level, it's seriously feels like being tasered 😮, so the boost is great, but the initial jolt for each incremental increase in power is not!
I wouldn't say don't buy this, as it might just not have worked for me and my situation. So try it, and if it doesn't work, Babycare TENS have a very fair 30 day money back offer.
But it's back to the drawing board for me.
