I’ve been using Slendertone Men’s System Ab Toning Belt for a month and a half. Two things A) wish I’d purchased it from Amazon.com instead of their own website where it is more expensive B) don’t know how I ended up with the men’s version, since I’m a fairly slim woman. That aside, I use it twice a day and have lost a little over an inch from my waist. I now wear size 6 jeans instead of 8! I don’t use it passively. As the belt pulses, I contract the muscles it stimulates. I’ve found my abdominal muscles much strengthened, my posture improved. The belt is EASY to use. In the time I’ve had it, I have yet to replace the gel pads, though I ordered extra sets from Amazon so I’ll be ready. I’d recommend this product to anyone!

I have been using the ab belt for over 2 weeks now. I can attest to the fact that my stomach muscles are getting a good workout, by the strength of contractions. I’d like to fully review the product after the 8 weeks it says the ab belt needs to provide muscle toning. The product works as advertised, and has a decent battery life before it needs a recharge- about 3 uses on high levels.
Please with product.

I’ve been using the Slendertone belt for 2 weeks now and I am definitely seeing and feeling a difference in my abs. It’s very easy to use.
Solid kick in the gut.

This thing will really give you a nice kick in the abs. I’m wearing it right now at 40/40 (each side is adjustable) out of 100. Feels about the equivalent of holding myself at 45 degree angle sit up for 5 seconds.
Sometimes it feels like one side is stronger than the other even if you adjust the numbers to compensate (can’t go more than 10 settings higher on one side over the other. If this happens its probably because the lubrication is fading or its not tight on one side. You can check if its loose by pushing the pads into you while using and see if it feels stronger. If it isn’t stronger you can use water/sponge and cover both sides of the pad that feels weak. Petroleum jelly seems to also work decent (KY or the Equate off-brand is cheaper). I don’t expect the pads would really ever wear-out with these methods, but without the pads would probably weaken after 2-3 weeks with good care.
As for how it feels, everyone I’ve let try is really nervous just before it starts, but on the starting 1 setting it just feels like a little tickling vibration with the vibrations getting stronger as you go up. Definitely not painful or anything to be afraid of.
I’ve used it almost every day for the past 1.5 weeks and haven’t had to charge it even once since taking out of the box. I’d imagine most of the kick is really being done by your own muscles and the belt provides just enough electricity to simulate your brain telling the muscles to contract.
As for how it looks, if you put the controller in your pants pocket instead of the belts pocket you could wear it to work or wherever and no one could tell you had it on. If you leave it in the belts pocket you might look like you have a stomach tumor but still works just fine for around the house.
Bottom line is my abs are tighter and warm to the touch even a day or two after a workout. It definitely has the kick to put you on the floor with more to spare. I doubt I could continue standing for long if I kept the power above 50. They have an arm version I might have to try as well.
My Slendertone

This is the first time I have used any electric muscle stimulation. The Slendertone Abs came out of the box ready to go. I had no problems figuring out how to operate the toning belt, and it fits comfortably. I am a fairly skinny person trying to get rid of a layer of fat, and wanted to use this for toning. I realized the actual belt is designed to fit thin people to people much bigger than I. Regardless, the fit was fine.
I purchased the product under the impression that I’d be able to use it regardless of my activity. This is true at low to moderate settings. As I progressed to high settings, I realized that I needed to isolate my movements to prevent stimulation of the nerves in my hips or an awkward flexing of my abs when I was in a bad position. I ended up lying down when the setting was high.
I am satisfied with the Slendertone Abs. I live in Korea, and see similar items advertised on TV, but this design seems to be the easiest to use and stimulates the most abdominal muscles. It even gets the lovehandles – an area missed by some of the competition.
The downside: the pads that came with my belt were made of ‘medical grade’ gel and worked well the first few times. For the cost of the replacements, I would expect the pads to last longer. The buildup of skin cells degrades the performance of the product. I have read online that people have corrected this issue by using wet sponges (which also uniformly distribute the electrical stimulation). I have not yet tried this, though I will.
The belt can only be used for one purpose. This is obvious in the product description, but I would now like to be able to stimulate other muscle groups, and this belt is not designed to do so.
In all, I got what I expected. I am satisfied with this product.
It does not work
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Used it for several weeks now. I do not have a thick belly. I am healthy and regularly work out. I do not see any improvements. It just does not work. What a waste.
Worth it.

After losing weight, I needed something to tighten my abdominal muscles. With a ventral hernia, my options were limited (surgical correction is not an option). My wife and I have used this device, and we notice a good difference. Yes, it is not as “powerful” as a workout as when younger, but it strengthens the muscles without further abdominal damage. It’s a keeper.
Slendertone seems to work well

I was a bit skeptical, but after using the product for the past 4 weeks, it seems to have tightened up my abs. My pants seem to be fitting looser in the waist too. The gel pads seemed to be losing their strength after about 2 weeks. I changed them out at the end of 3rd week.
Pretty good ab-toner.
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I am not sure how to compare, but I hadn’t experience an ab belt before so it probably works well. I just don’t know how to position it so it felt weird on my sides where the electric force of it would sort of hurt my ribs and shoot up to my shoulders sometimes. The gel pads get worn out quickly, but that seems normal when you keep using it.
good product, but charge more than advertised

I have had this product for about a month.I have been trying to work on my abs.I am in the military and I just had a diagnostic PT test. I knocked out about 25 more sit ups than about a month ago.I bought it in hopes of toning my midsection. I have felt improvement, but those last couple inches are hard to get rid of. It is working though. As for charging me 50cents over the advertised price? When I wrote them. (slendertone) They blamed my bank. My bank (who I trust) still has a policy of not only not charging debit purchases, but reimberses me for any fees the merchants charge me. The 50cents was added to the price and not as a fee. 50cents was no big deal, but how many people do they do this to? Would I recommend this product? It works, but I don’t trust the companies integrity. Maybe you will have a better experience.
