Precautions to mention:
Do not use with a cardiac pacemaker or with a seizure disorder. A TENS unit CANNOT go in water! You would need to remove the pads before getting in the bath/shower and then re-apply after.
It is very important to mention that for maximum benefit, TENS needs to be started in early labor before contractions become overwhelmingly strong.
