Birthing Comb

Made from natural wood the birthing comb is a small, hand-held tool often used by individuals during labour as a comfort measure to manage pain.

It typically resembles a standard hair comb but is held in a way that allows the person in labour to press its teeth into the palm of their hand.

The comb’s purpose is to engage acupressure points, using the concept of the “pain gate theory” — by focusing on the sensation in the hand, the brain may divert attention from labor contractions.

The comb’s size makes it easy to hold and carry. Its simplicity and portability make it a popular choice for use in natural pain management techniques during labour, often alongside breathing exercises, massage, or other comfort tools.

The perfect addition to your maternity hospital bag.

Comes with a wrist strap and a drawstring pouch.
