We love this post made by Did you know that TENS machines aren’t just for labour and birth?

TENS can be really effective for relieving afterbirth pains. Afterbirth pains are similar to contractions and often occur in the days following birth. They are more common in subsequent births but can definitely still be felt after your first birth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These pains are due to your uterus contracting and starting it’s process back to it’s pre pregnancy size, this is referred to as involution.

We recommend TENS for afterbirth pains as unlike Panadol and other analgesia, TENS machines begin working immediately and there is no limit on how much you can use them.
