Toning Belt

Advantages: Tones
Disadvantages: None.

Ive always suffered with a little excess fat on my belly, some may say its puppy fat! However last year, i was planning to go on holiday to cyprus and i couldnt stand my body so i thought id buy some toning equipment and i picked this one, mainly because of the price, i bought mine for £34 from boots. I used it 3 times a week and within the first 2 weeks i noticed a slight change so i continued to use it and im real happy with my body now, my belly ...

Review of Slendertone Gymbody

Value for Money

Expensive but worth it

Advantages: Benefits can be seen, comfy, user friendly
Disadvantages: Pad replacement, cost

...good. My girlfriend puts her slendertone on of an evening when she is relaxing before bed, or whilst doing other exercise, giving this product diversity in its use, and not hindering daily activities for example so it can be worn whilst cooking for example. The display is clear and shows all the information you need, and warns when the batteries get low for example. This product uses 3 pads that 'stick' the belt to your abdomen for the signals to ...
...attached properly or are worn, you are warned of this on the display. The slendertone website offers replacements usually in a deal, for example 3 packets for the price of 2. The wrap around belt is comfortable also. More of a personal review, but definately a recommended product. ...

Review of Slendertone FLEX Ladies

Value for Money

Shock or contractions?

Advantages: I think it does work the muscles.
Disadvantages: Prickly shocks.

...is it? *********** The slendertone belt is something that is suposed to work the muscles while you don`t actually have to do anything. It is a belt that is battery operated, you wrap it around you stomach muscles and the one I had you could also wrap around your thigh though not at the same time. After applying gel to the pads which have a shiney inner side, you switch it on, they are battery operated. It is easy to fit and secures with velcro. ...
...that I couldn`t use the Slendertone so that was the end of it really. With exercise, you don`t just stop for a week when you are menstruating, I figured this should be the same, I was fed up with it by now. After Effects. ************** Apart from toning muscles, which I don`t think it did for mine as I didn`t do it for long enough, I don`t think there should have been any after effects. However, I went to my mums one evening, throughout the evening ...

Review of Slendertone 0515

Value for Money

A wonderful product!

Advantages: It really works, great for toning hard to tone areas like lower abs
Disadvantages: very fiddly to set up, takes time to get used to the sensation

...using my Slim Gym, my Rio Arm Toner and my Slendertone Max Belt. I emerge from the mass of straps with a toned and firm body! The intensity control on the Slim Gym, is designed well so that if you turn the machine off on the max intensity setting, when you turn it on again you have to reset the intensity. This saves you from getting a nasty shock that has you jumping in the air and screaming like a banshee, a problem I encountered with earlier models. ...
...me is that you can buy cheap tubs of hair gel for 99p and that these work well as a the much more expensive conductor gel. I've been using hair gel for years with no problem and saving myself a fortune. I bought my last Slim Gym on ebay for £40 a coupe of years ago and its still going strong. I would recommend this product to anyone ...

Review of Rio SLIM GYM

Value for Money

Great product but not without flaws

Advantages: Really works at toning muscles, great incentive to exercise
Disadvantages: sticky pads not sticky enough, intensity control too sensitive, can cause bruising

...this as I own a Rio Slim Gym, that comes with adjustable straps, so I simply use 2 straps on a tight setting to secure the pads in place and this seems to work very well. Anyone not owning a Slim Gym could probably make their own straps out of fabric and velcro, or even just use large rubber bands to hold the pads in place. The second problem is that the intensity control is very easy to knock accidentally with the result that I have, on several ...
...and using my Slendertone and Rio Slim Gym products helped give me the confidence to start exercising. Also the more toned muscle you have the better these products work so they act as an incentive to exercise in my experience. If Rio were to sort out the problem with the intensity control and also included supporting straps with the product I would have given it 5/5. ...
