Advantages: small, discreet and easy to use Disadvantages: £150 plus need to replace pads
I bought one of these belts direct from Slendertone about 4 weeks ago.
The idea was to trim up a flabby, 4 times stomach surgery belly, along with a good diet and other exercise - I hate those abtoner things. I didn't expect miracles but I needed help.
£150 was a lot to pay, but hey, you've got to try it. There are two types of belt, one for men and one for women. The belt straps round your abdomen, with three gel like pads attached. A small power unit then makes the pads vibrate, and exercise those muscles. The first time felt a little uncomfortable, but now I'm used to it. Occassionally the unit beeps at me, and I need to adjust the belt to make sure that pads are attached properly. Other than that no problems.
Now, for the sceptics out there - I've followed a low carb diet for 12 weeks, swum twice weekly, and used ...
Advantages: No trailing wires, discreet, easy and quick to put on Disadvantages: bit expensive
The Slendertoneflex is the latest in slendertone's range of faradic exercisers. The one I have is for the abdominals although they also now have a flex for the bum and thighs which you wear like a pair of shorts.
The tummy one is great. I have had 5 children and a bad back so the usual round of sit ups and crunches are no longer feasible for me. I have previously had the earlier ones with pads and trailing wires, but frankly they are a pain in the neck (should that be stomach!) to set up.Initially I was put off buying this product by the cost. Mine was £145 although I think they vary a bit. However, I watched a really good demo on QVC and that convinced me to spend the money!
The new version is a wide neoprene belt with the contacts concealed. There are three sticky pads, one goes over your tummy button and one to either side ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Slendertone Flex
Advantages: Cheaper than the gym... and it works! Disadvantages: Replacing the pads
? What does the belt look like? --
Well that's the beauty of the belt! Unless you like wearing belly tops (and why would you if your buying the slendertone?) The belt hides easily underneath clothes! The belt is not thick either so does not show! I walk around the house with it under my t-shirt and no one notices a thing!
-- OK so what do I get with the SlendertoneFlex? --
You get a black and green belt, a small screen that attaches to your belt, three pads that work the belt and an instructon booklet! Oh and 3 AAA batteries for your screen to work!
-- Is it easy to use? --
SO EASY!! The instructon booklet is straight forward but it's so simple anyway! First off you just start off with your green and black belt. You start off by putting your three AAA batteries provided into the small screen thing then attach it to your belt ...
