During contractions, you don’t want anything complicated. You don’t want instructions. You don’t want to think. You just need something that is going to help.
Acupressure labour balls are designed to give you that focus by helping redirect sensation, relieve tension, and bring you back into your body when intensity builds.
The Birth Ally™ is our refined version of the classic acupressure labour balls – thoughtfully designed to be held through contractions, offering steady pressure and something tangible to focus on as intensity builds. The oval shape fits more naturally in your hand, making it easier to hold and maximise use throughout contractions.
The Birth Ally™ is often one of the few tools that actually gets used all throughout labour.
Grip these in your hands during contractions, allowing the textured spikes to stimulate nerve endings and activate pressure points. This helps to engage the body’s natural pain management systems – often referred to as “pain gating,” where the brain focuses on the sensation in the hands instead of the contraction itself.
A simple, supportive tool to pack in your hospital bag or homebirth kit.
Features:
• Set of 2 ergonomic wooden acupressure labour balls
• Oval design for a more comfortable, natural fit in your hand
• Hand crafted from natural wood
• Premium canvas Earthside storage bag
• Double sided how-to card with tips and safety
Don’t go into labour empty handed.
