Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you're a casual exerciser, a senior, a fitness enthusiast, or someone facing physical challenges, the Slendertone System Abs Toning Belt for Men can help you build a stronger core foundation. Simply follow the 30-day toning plan for 30 minutes, five times a week to develop your abdominal strength, muscle mass, and power. Discreet, comfortable and easy to use, the Slendertone System slimline belt enables you to build power abs anytime--at home, while working at the office, out the garden, etc. The rechargeable, handheld System Controller plugs into the toning belt and displays information on toning programs, time and intensity all in the palm of your hand. It features seven toning programs, up to 99 intensity levels, and warm-up and cool-down phases. It's backed by a two-year warranty. Slendertone uses clinically proven, patent-pending C.S.I. (Concentrated Slendertone Innervation) technology to firm, tone and strengthen your entire midsection with patented medical-grade muscle stimulation technology. Signals from the belt reach out to nerves where they are most concentrated. These nerves branch out to reach all the abdominal muscles (not just those under the pads) causing them to relax and contract naturally, exercising all the muscles at the same time. Used regularly (as little as 30 minutes a day) in conjunction with a healthy diet and some moderate exercise, you will notice results within four weeks. You can wear the Slendertone System belt when you just don't have time in your hectic schedule to hit the gym or go for a run, or wear it during your workout for added emphasis.

 Product stopped working March 10, 2010
Barry M. Alvey
Although I received the product in a timely manner, after 30 days of use it has stopped working, tried to contact the company I purchased it from to resolve the problem, called the Slendertone Company and was told I had a counterfeit product.
Do not buy slendertone products from Amazon or SVM products March 7, 2010
Husam Brohi (Greenwich, CT)
I purchased several of the slendertone products, the abs system mens belt and the arms system, through the Amazon web-site. Some of the products were shipped through SVM, who Amazon uses as a trusted merchant. Anyhow, my controll unit suddenly stopped working after a a month or so and when I called Slendertone to replace the unit they informed me that the unit was fradulent, based on the serial number and also informed me that Amazon and other retailers such as SVM are shipping knock-offs that look just like the real product. Apparently Slendertone is trying to shut this down, who knows.
In essence, unless I was able to get Amazon or SVM to refund me I was SOL. SVM claims, through an email, that they sell authentic products, but I have yet to see any word on getting my unit replaced.
Anyhow, be careful from where you buy this from. I spent $200 and now I can not use any of the products.
 SLENDERTONE ABS TONING BELT March 3, 2010
Donald Tarvin
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS BELT WORKS. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO WEAR IT. IT SAYS IT WILL FIT A 42 - 47, BUT IT WON'T GO AROUND ME AND I'M A 44. IT DID SHIP QUICKLY AND WAS HALF THE PRICE OF THE SLENDERTONE COMPANY THOUGH.
 Yep, it works February 12, 2010

First, I'm 60, 6'0" tall, and about 170, so not fat, but with a little too much middle-aged buildup around the midsection. I've never in my life been able to achieve a six-pack, owing probably to a genetic aversion to doing tons of ab work. After about 2 1/2 months with Slendertone, my belly is still not a thing to admire when I take off my shirt (I need to get the calorie count down further, and it doesn't help that I have a pretty inert lifestyle), but, even with the belly bulge, now when I flex my stomach I can see some definition I've never had before.
I'm going to keep using the Slendertone for at least another four months and see what can be accomplished. It's not really less pain than doing crunches (at higher settings, the contractions are nothing to laugh at), but it exerts a certain discipline (if you can make yourself put it on every day for a session), and it allows me to keep working at my computer while my stomach gets a workout.
The Slendertone product is well-made. The battery is easy to charge and holds its charge for several days. Respectfully handled, this product should give many years of service.
Now for something that concerns many people: pad life. I'm still on my original set of pads after almost 3 months, and don't see why I can't keep using them for many more weeks. The secret is simple -- whenever you finish with your Slendertone session, gently remove the belt from your stomach so the pads don't tear, use an almost dripping-wet sponge to gently wipe the pads and get them very moist, then carefully replace their clear protective plastic covers, massaging them to get as much air out from underneath as possible. Make sure the edges are sealed to prevent air from getting in and drying out the damp pads. It's an easy maintenance routine that takes maybe 45 seconds. Once you've covered the pads, carefully fold the belt so as not to bend the pads (in the same way it was folded when it initially arrived in the box)and keep it stored in its little tote bag.
 Do nothing and lose unwanted pounds off your stomach area? February 7, 2010

I've never written a product review before but I've been so impressed with this the Slendertone Ab Toning Belt I wanted to put something out there.
I purchased this in January 2010 as part of a New Year's resolution to 'get in shape'.
I have about 20 pounds I'd like to lose. I've always had some 'love handles' that I would like to get rid of. At the same time, I work 60+ hours a week and have little time to exercise (though, I try to find about 30 minutes 5 times a week to exercise). When I saw a commecial for a product that seemed like you could simply strap on and it would 'firm' up my stomach - my first thoughts were 'yeah, right those commercial models have likely always had tight midsections before they strapped on the electric shock gismo'- but, I was still intrigued by it. I remembered seeing some Bruce Lee interview from years ago, or maybe it was one of his movies, where he used some electric shock thing to exercise his muscles. I decided to do some research, first on the model I saw in the infomercial - I can't even remember the name of it - but, while researching - and reading the fine print on it, it was one of those deals were you buy it for something like $19.99 but if you don't return it in 30 days they charge you something like $250.00 (similar to the whole video professor thing). There were a few reviews of people who found the product to be ok, but really complained about the marketing practice of this particular company.
Separating the product idea from the marketing issues, I did some more research which lead me to decide to 'give it a try' - not to 'melt the pounds away' but, in hopes of 'firming and strengthening' my midsection. After doing various searches on different products I came to this one which seemed to be the most reasonably priced with a decent amount of positive reviews (rather than just a couple you find on some products which are likely from the makers of the products!).
I've had this now for over a month - I also still have a layer of fat over my midsection - but, I also have something else - a firmer, stronger midsection! I'll admit I do an elliptical about 5 times a week for about 30 minutes, but, I intentially have not been doing any cruches, sit ups, etc - to see if this thing really works. It really does.
You'll find the first few times you use it it will feel kind of odd. At first I wondered, is this thing really causing my muscles to tense up, or is it just lightly 'shocking' me to give the impression of the muscles tensing. It really does cause the muscles to tense.
Imagine sitting down, or walking around, and how your stomach feels if you just tense it up on your own - it's pretty much the same thing. But, wearing this is like breathing - an involuntary action - where you muscles will tense up on a rhythmic basis. Now, you could do this voluntarily - walk around and tighten your stomach muscles - hold it for 10 seconds or so -and then rest a moment, and do it again for 30 minutes - but, I much rather do it involuntarily through using this thing. I strap it on and pretty much forget about it while I work.
After you've used it for about a week you'll find you can really up the intensity - and after two weeks you'll find your stomach muscles really getting stronger. It's actually pretty motivating in that now I'm even more encouraged to go through the pain of getting rid of these final pounds to get to the point where my stomach muscles stand out.
Bottom line: If you're looking for some way to do nothing and lose unwanted pounds from your stomach area - you won't find that with this product. But, if you wouldn't mind having a stronger mid-section and firmer muscles (even if it means being able to get up off the couch easier!) than this is for you. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
