The Esypik Birthing Comb – Your Labour Pain Relief Sidekick
Having a baby is an incredible life-changing experience, but labour itself can be a real challenge. That's why so many new mums search for simple, non-drug methods to tackle those tough contractions. Enter the Birthing Comb – a tried-and-tested acupressure technique that can help keep you focused & strong throughout this journey.
Why on Earth Would You Want the Esypik Wooden Labour Comb?
Our beautifully crafted wooden labour comb from Esypik is a labour support tool and natural pain relief companion. Its clever design engages the 'Gate of Inner Court' (Pericardium 8) acupressure point on your palm, which, when gripped during a contraction, can create a nice bit of pressure on that point. That in turn sends a slightly competing sensation to your brain. It's a clever distraction method that can reduce the pain & give you more control over your body.

The Simple Way To Use Your Birthing Comb For Pain Relief
It's pretty easy. When a contraction is starting to get going, just grip the birthing comb firmly in your palm and press the teeth into the fleshy bit below your fingers. Try to tune into the sensation in your hand instead of the pain. That hand pressure becomes a focal point – a grounding point – to help shift your focus from the overwhelming sensation of the contraction. You can try combining it with breathing exercises, visualisations or a warm bath for a really satisfying birth experience in the States.
