When I would use the combs, I couldn’t feel anything compared to when I walked around without them. Tracy
When the contractions peaked, I would squeeze my combs, and there was a big difference between “comb” contractions and “non-comb” contractions. I wouldn’t do a birth without them. Rachel
I used two combs. They were men’s combs with the all the same size teeth, with blunt ends NOT pointed ends. I loved them. Didn’t want to let go the whole labour. Marlee
Do not under estimate the power of a comb. The small blue plastic comb… was better then an epidural! There are pressure points in your palm that help with pain relief in labor. As a contraction built, I would squeeze my comb as tight as feasible, the teeth digging into my palm, hitting those points and providing immense relief. I couldn’t have done it without that comb! source
I held a small black hair comb in each hand, squeezing them into my palm… I’m not sure how my labor and delivery would have been without holding them, but it actually went pretty fast. And I liked the sensation when I tried it, which is why I kept on with it. Viola
During contractions I was sort of searching with my hands for something to grab onto, I think to feel more grounded. My doula slipped a comb into my hand and I squeezed it instantly. It was awesome! ,,, I was still very much in pain, but it definitely made a noticeable difference and provided me with a bit of instant relief. I remembered her slipping it into my hand, but I didn’t remember what ever happened to it after that. I asked Dh one day if I used it for very long, or if I just dropped it after that contraction. He said that after Ds was born he pried it out of my still tightly squeezed hand. – Jennica

Would you recommend using one in each hand? I’m preparing for the birth of my second baby and I’m looking to do a natural birth!
