TENS Machine Range: What’s the Difference?

OBi TENS

The OBi TENS offers many of the same benefits as the Elle TENS Original in a more compact and affordable design.

Features include:

• Easy design for easy use
• BOOST button for contractions
• Clear LCD screen
• Neck cord or rotating belt clip for hands-free use

This model has single-channel control and does not include Optimax Technology, making it a great entry-level option while still delivering effective labour support.

Elle TENS

The Elle TENS is one of the most well-known and trusted labour TENS machines worldwide. Loved for its simplicity and effectiveness, it’s designed specifically for use during labour.

Key features include:

• Large, easy-to-read LCD display
• Pre-set labour modes
• Dual intensity controls for upper and lower electrodes
• An integrated BOOST button to help manage the peak of a contraction
• Optimax Technology, which provides extra pulse power when you need it most — particularly in the later stages of labour

It’s intuitive, reliable, and designed to grow with you through each phase of labour.

Elle TENS+

The Elle TENS+ is a versatile 3-in-1 unit, offering:

• Birth mode
• Pain relief mode
• Pelvic floor toning mode

Pelvic floor weakness and bladder control issues are common after birth, and the pelvic floor stimulation mode allows you to begin strengthening these muscles at home, helping support recovery and confidence sooner.

Moreover, you will have a lit-up screen (you normally birth in a dim lit room) and an integrated timer for your contractions and the time in between your contractions - all in one device.
