Well packaged with a lovely holder for the comb. Comb was a nice material and the perfect size. I had heard of this before and people have suggested them. I’d heard good things about them so was excited to try it for myself. I liked the leather pouch the comb came in, it kept it safe and easily accessible for when I needed it. Instructions were clear and easy to understand. This was easy to use and came in handy during contractions and helped me to breathe through them. This was very effective. I really noticed a difference from when my contractions first started and I wasn’t using any pain relief to when I started using the comb, it really helped to relieve some of the pain and I didn’t have to rely as heavily on other pain relief. It was very effective, it really helped relieve the discomfort. I was able to use the comb to relieve the pain without having to use medicated pain relief. It was the perfect size which enabled me to carry it around with me and the little pouch it came with was helpful for keeping it safe when moving around the hospital. I used it throughout labour. I liked that is worked, it enabled me to have a drug free labour. Absolutely ideal for hospital bag. It really helps take the edge off the pain of contractions, I’d highly recommend it to anyone, even to use alongside other forms of pain relief or in the early stages of labour. Both the comb and pouch were great quality and durable. It’s really reasonably priced and worth every penny. I would buy this. It was a great support to me in labour and I was able to be in control of my pain relief throughout. I’d recommend to anyone who wants to be in control of their labour and pain relief. The Acu-comb was a fantastic support for me during labour, it allowed me to be in control and aware during my labour. I could use the comb as and when I felt I needed to and didn’t have to rely on drugs. My aim was to have as natural labour as possible and with the comb I was able to do that. Perfect design, works well, enabled and empowered me to have the labour I wanted and I didn’t feel the need to rely on drugs or medical intervention. Natasha Holgate – Thea 10 Days

Lovely looking comb and nice packaging. I’d seen and heard of different acupressure methods but not heard of this particular comb. Lovely presentation. Instructions clear. Simple concept and easy to understand. This was easy to use. I didn’t actually use it in labour as I had a c section. But I will be keeping if for future use as I do struggle with chronic pain. The fact that this targets specific pressure points to alleviate discomfort was effective for me. It was easily packed in my hospital bag. This is a nice looking and sturdy comb. I think if I had used it during labour it would have been a useful and interesting product to try. Good quality as sturdy and well made. I think it is a very fair price. I would not buy this because I am finished having children. I would recommend to friends that become pregnant in the future. I think it’s an interesting product to try and should be useful when used in collaboration with things like hypno birth. I did not get to use this product in labour as I had a c section. But I tested it briefly at home and think it would be useful for chronic pain as well which is something I’d be willing to test next time I have a flare up. Stephanie Poultney – Rupert 5 Weeks

Good product, good quality, nice packaging. I had heard about these before. I was signed up to a hypnobirthing course and they’d talked about them on the course. A comb was on my hospital packing list. Sturdy comb, and the nice packaging made it feel special. Makes it also feel like it could be a nice gift some someone who is pregnant. Instructions clear and easy to follow. I ended up having an emergency C section but it’s a nice easy thing to pack in your hospital bag and 100% worth a try without too much effort. I love the principle, and the nice design and packaging makes it feel special to use. I ended up having an emergency C section but I’ve heard through friends and people I met at my hypnobirthing class a wooden comb is effective in birth. 100% travel friendly. This was packed in my hospital bag ready to go and was super easy to slot in to an easy to reach compartment that I’d be able to get to quickly when needed. A cheap natural pain relief that doesn’t feel overly medical and sterile that is also easy to transport. It takes up no room at all, is easy to use. And not expensive compared to all of the other pain relief options there are to try. Great quality comb with a modern design makes it feel like it is a quality product that isn’t mass produced. Super cheap compared to other pain relief options and comes in lovely packaging. I was already in the market for a pregnancy comb and had it on my hospital bag list. I would recommend. 100% worth a try in labour at a small cost. A natural pain relief at a great price point compared to other pain relief options on the market that doesn’t feel overly medical or sterile that is also easy to transport. Although I didn’t get to test this product fully I felt confident and prepared having this quality comb in my hospital bag. Maria Piliero – Nico 5 Weeks
