You know what they say: no pain, no gain — unless, of course, you find a way to block the former.
That’s part of the reason why one device that helps new moms get through labor could double as a great gift for dads working on their physique.
Users are raving about a tiny contraption on Amazon that is said to offer “real relief” for those dealing with serious pain. The RENPHO TENS Unit Muscle Stimulator, which retails for just $20, has been used for everything from sciatica and back pain to muscle recovery. And, research indicates that it can also be used as a non-pharmacological therapy to reduce pain during labor.
The compact device works by delivering transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), which helps block nerves that send pain signals to the brain. It offers up to 20 intensity levels and different massage modes for a tailored response. According to those who have used it, it’s seriously effective.
“Bought this for my wife to use when she was delivering our first child,” one reviewer shared. “She said it was really helpful for relieving the pain from her back labor.”
In addition to pain management, the brand also claims that the TENS unit can also support muscle performance, conditioning and recovery, which is why many users also say it’s a great gift for athletes or anyone dealing with tight or sore muscles.
With Father’s Day coming up, it could be a useful gift for him, too — especially for those working on shaking off the “Dad Bod.”
The RENPHO TENS unit sends gentle electrical pulses through adhesive pads placed on the skin — anywhere from the back and abdomen to the shoulders or legs. These signals interact with the nerves and can temporarily change how pain messages are sent to the brain.
It’s small, portable, and discreet — easy to use and convenient to take on the go, so it can be used whenever needed most. It can be worn under clothing at work, brought to the gym for recovery sessions or even used during stressful travel days.
And if you think your dad might want to try using it to support his workout performance, it might be worth picking one up for under $30 ahead of Father’s Day on June 21.
