Recommendations: Talking with other people who have used birthing combs during their own birth experiences is probably the best thing you can do if you want to figure out which comb to buy. Although everyone’s experience is different, word of mouth is always helpful. The idea is that if you’re experiencing painful sensations, then non-painful stimulation can help “close” the pain gate. In this case, the contractions are your painful sensations, and the comb is a non-painful stimulation that helps close the gate, so your brain focuses on the comb rather than the contractions. Acupressure-inspired techniques like gripping a comb may work because they distract you and give you something else to focus on, OB/GYNs say. Whatever approach allows you to relax and cope with the pain of uterine contractions can prove useful when the time comes. A birthing comb is a regular ol’ hair comb.

One of the acupressure points that can be targeted during labour with The Wave Comb is the Laogong point. This point is also known as the Pericardium 8 (P8) point and is located in the centre of the palm, between the second and third metacarpal bones.
