TEN MINUTE AUDIO MOOD TUBE:
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Read about the features of your Mood Tube and how to use it.
Using the Mood Tube to Track Your Labour Progress
What Does It Do?
The mood tube gently cycles through 11 different colours over a 10-minute period. In addition to creating a calming atmosphere, it is specially designed to help you stay aware of your labour progress.
How to Use It
To use it, simply note the current colour of the mood tube - for example, blue - and begin counting your contractions from that point. When the same colour reappears, 10 minutes will have passed. This gives you a clear way to track how many contractions you experience in that time.
Why Is This Helpful?
This method mirrors how midwives assess labour progress, particularly when determining if you're in established labour. Having this visual guide in your environment can support and empower you with greater awareness of how your labour is progressing.
This is an illustrative example of the colours in the palette. Real-life transitions are much slower.

Control Your Environment with Bluetooth Speakers
How Does It Work?
The tube has built-in Bluetooth speakers, so you or your partner can easily connect a phone or other device to play any audio you like. Just turn the tube on, switch on your Bluetooth and choose 'pair new device' to connect to '[tube name]'.
What Are the Benefits?
Once you're connected, you can listen to whatever helps you relax - whether it’s calming music, nature sounds or a guided meditation. The sound also helps reduce noise from other rooms, letting you focus on your own peaceful experience.
