The BubsNest Verdict

The labour comb seems to be a solid choice for some parents looking for natural pain relief options during childbirth. Several found it helpful when used alongside other methods like a TENS machine, as it provided a distraction and stimulated acupressure points. However, opinions are mixed, with some parents not finding it particularly useful. Those who did benefit tended to use it actively during contractions rather than just having it on hand.

Solid Choice

The labour comb seems to be a solid choice for some parents looking for natural pain relief options during childbirth. Several found it helpful when used alongside other methods like a TENS machine, as it provided a distraction and stimulated acupressure points. However, opinions are mixed, with some parents not finding it particularly useful. Those who did benefit tended to use it actively during contractions rather than just having it on hand.

What parents love

Natural pain reliefThe comb can provide drug-free pain relief by stimulating acupressure points and providing a distraction during contractions.
Versatile useIt can be used in the birthing pool, unlike a TENS machine, and may also be helpful in other stressful situations beyond labour.

Worth knowing

Varying effectivenessSome parents found the comb more helpful than others, with a few reporting it did not provide much pain relief on its own.
Requires active useTo be effective, the comb needs to be squeezed and used during contractions, rather than just having it available.

Best for

  • Parents looking to incorporate natural pain relief options into their birth plan
  • Those using a TENS machine who want an additional tool for pain management

May not suit

  • Parents seeking a standalone solution for pain relief during labour

Tips from parents

Getting the Most Out of It

Use the comb actively by squeezing it during contractions, rather than just having it on hand.

Safety Note

Avoid using the comb before 37 weeks of pregnancy, as it may induce labour.
