Hi Heather.  Quick question.  What do you do with the TENS set up and showers during labour.  If you need to get into the shower can you leave the adhesive pads on your skin but disconnect the wires etc from the TENS machine.  Once out of the shower do you just have to dry the area around the pads and then reconnect?  Thanks. Peter and Susan. Hi Peter and Susan, Good question. You will need to take all TENS equipment off including the electrode pads to keep everything dry or else it will loose stickiness. The electrode pads are self adhesive and can be taken on and off many times. You will need to keep the skin where you attach the electrode pads clean and dry and free from oil or other products to keep a good contact. Remove the electrode pads and replace them on to the clear plastic film provided to keep them clean and sticky. If the pads start to peel off when using them just place tape over the top to keep them adhered to the skin. The good news is that the pain relief benefits of Labour TENS will be affective for up to 30 minutes after the TENS is switched OFF -plenty of time to jump in the bath or shower. After about 20 minutes the endorphin levels will start to drop significantly and you may want to replace the labour TENS. Good luck, Heather.
