Labour Combs – Natural Pain Relief Tool for Birth A labour comb is a simple yet powerful tool many mums use during contractions to help manage pain and stay focused through labour. By squeezing the comb in your hand, the pressure points in your palm are stimulated. This works with your body’s natural pain-gating response — helping redirect your brain’s focus away from contraction pain and into the strong pressure sensation in your hand. Small, lightweight and easy to hold, labour combs are a beautiful addition to your birth bag and can be used throughout early labour, active labour, or whenever you need an extra grounding tool. Why mums love labour combs: • Encourages natural pain management during contractions• Stimulates acupressure points in the hand• Helps redirect focus and maintain calm breathing• Small enough to keep in your hand throughout labour• A simple, drug-free birth support tool Whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, or birth centre experience, a labour comb can be a gentle but effective way to support your body through each contraction.
