Burst mode – between contractions The burst mode operates by default and is typically used between contractions. It feels like a pulsing, tingling sensation with the pulses coming on and off and on periodically. This mode will help to promote those all-important natural pain-killing chemicals known as ‘endorphins’ and ‘encephalins’. Boost mode – during contractions By pressing the easy to access boost button you’ll receive an extra surge of power required to combat pain during contractions. The Obi TENS has simple up and down buttons to control the intensity of the pulses both in burst and boost mode.
