Birthing combs use both distraction and the stimulation of pressure points to release endorphins in order to act as a natural form of pain relief. The birthing comb is easy to use, medication free, safe with all other medications, and suitable for all stages of labour. Simply grip the comb, teeth down, in the palm of your hand. The birthing comb also comes in a hessian bag, handy for packing in hospital bags!
