Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy firmer and stronger ab muscles after just six weeks with the Slendertone Flex Pro abdominal training system. Designed exclusively for men (an alternate version is available for women), the Flex Pro doesn't require thousands of sit-ups or crunches to tone your abs. 
The Flex Pro training belt tones and firms your ab muscles in just six weeks. | Instead, the system employs medical-grade Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology to simultaneously work all of your abdominal muscles while you walk to the store or sit in an office chair. Simply strap on the toning belt and adhere the included gel pads to your skin. The belt will then send signals to your nerves by way of the gel pads, causing the muscles to relax and contract for an effective yet comfortable abdominal workout. The system has been clinically proven to firm and tone all three abdominal muscles--the rectus, oblique, and transversus abdominis--in addition to boosting core strength and improving endurance. The Flex Pro offers seven built-in programs and 99 intensity levels, providing a great workout for everyone from beginners to advanced users. For best results, wearers should use the Slendertone Flex Pro five times a week for six weeks. Lightweight and breathable, the unit fits men's waists between 24 and 47 inches and carries a two-year warranty. About Slendertone

 Surprisingly... It Seems to Work October 21, 2009
Andrea L. Polk (Southern Oregon)
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I'm a skeptic by nature, so the Slendertone FlexPro Abdominal Muscle Toner seemed like a 'joke' to me when I received it as part of the Amazon Vine Program. My husband, a guy who works out daily and has for over 30 years, spotted this item and decided he wanted to be my 'guinea pig' for the test drive of this item. For the record he is 'fit' = 165 pounds, 5'10", 32" waist, 10% bodyfat and does abdominal exercises daily. He's also 74 years old.
Despite being fit for any age, he still has 'problem' areas (love handles) he doesn't like and can't seem to get rid of thus the desire to try the belt. I was a bit stunned by his offer, but let him go for it.
The following are his comments from the past 4 weeks of daily use (mid-intensity #3-4, 30 minutes 1x a day). He did not lose weight or change his diet of beer and pizza during this time. He continued his daily 1 hour work-out routine, simply adding time with the belt at the end while he was cooling off before his shower.
Comments made regarding the belt and its use 30 day trial are as follows.
Week 1:
"The belt when turned on feels 'tingly'. If turned up too high, it actually hurts!"
"As much as I work out, I can't imagine this thing is going to do any good."
"The gooey pads (3 of them) seem weird, but if they are covered up with the plastic wrap they came in, the belt doesn't work."
"The pads are expensive... I wonder how long they'll last before I have to buy more?"
"I'm having trouble finding just the right setting."
Week 2:
"I can't tell if it's doing any good or not?"
"It actually hurt when I wore it while I went walking this morning..."
Week 3:
"I don't know... give me a few more days."
"How much are those extra pads anyway?" (About $25 on Amazon for 3 sets of 3.)
"I'm not going to turn it up too much. It seems to work the muscles when I put it in the mid-range."
Week 4:
"I'm not sure if it's the device or not, but my Levi's fresh out of the dryer are fitting better around the waist. All my pants are going on a lot easier and buttoning easily."
"I want to keep using it because damn-it... it seems to work."
Our 'Non-Skeptical' Conclusion:
This belt is a good supplement to further tone already fit abdominal muscles by waking up the muscles in the abdominal area with low-level electrical currents. It's similar to very expensive machines used by physical therapist and should be used as directed for maximum benefits.
Surprised, actually works. October 16, 2009

When I first received the Slendertone, I was very skeptical of its claims. Clearly, it looked like another quack item from the QVC or Home Shopping Network, with big promises but little results. The people pictured on the front of the box were clearly already muscular to begin with, leaving me highly doubtful of any potential Slendertone device efficacy. Another ShamWow like product.
When I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Slendertone came well equipped; it came with its own batteries (big plus! 3 x AAA), 3 electrode-gel pads, a nice little carrying bag, assorted other items, and a pretty solid looking Slendertone. The device itself looks a bit like a girdle with an electronics module and mini-display; the module has a few buttons on the sides to control the programming, and the mini-display is cleverly positioned to facilitate operation. It would've been nice if they included a memory option to have the device recall the last used strength setting, so I wouldn't have to re-program each time upon use.
I do appreciate the independent left/right control settings; that's a thoughtful touch. My abs are better developed on my right hand side, so I can set the workout on my left to be stronger.
A word about my body type before we begin; I'm thin, good shape, but not great shape. I workout and run 3 times a week; my stomach area is thin, and somewhat but not really defined, and after doing many crunches, was open to another tactic for better defining the abdominal area. Note, this probably won't work very well if you have folds of fat covering your abdomen, because obviously you'll have to do some cardio to rid yourself of those extra fat cells.
FIRST WEEK; I set the device on level 25, and used it for 20 minutes at a time. The first time I used it, it felt ticklish, possibly because it was on a low setting. I also used it after eating a meal (bad idea), and felt stomach pains afterwards. So I decided to take a break from using the machine.
SECOND WEEK; I set the device to level 30, and used it after my gym workouts (but before any meals). In all of my gym workouts, I do regular crunches, as well as crunches on medicine balls, and reverse decline crunches. Using the Slendertone was like getting a nice "massage" after a hard workout, further working the abdominal area.
THIRD WEEK; Kept up the same routine of using the Slendertone after my gym workouts, and moved the device to level 35. I think I'm starting to see some better definition around my abs! Could it be the Slendertone, or just my imagination? Hmm, better keep using it.
Slight setback between 3rd and 4th weeks when I decided to splurge and eat at a buffet restaurant.
FOURTH WEEK; After recovering from the buffet restaurant, increased to level 40. During Slendertone usage, I also tensed my stomach area to increase effectiveness.
After 4 weeks of continuous usage, I'd say the Slendertone has helped me to get a better defined stomach area. I wouldn't say it's a perfect six-pack like the Spartans in the movie 300, but it seems to be more effective than just doing crunches on my own. And that, is pretty helpful. 5 stars for actually being effective, and not gimmicky.

C. Simpson (Elizabethon, TN)
Purchased about 3 weeks ago and have used nearly every day since. Instructions say will begin to see results in about 6 weeks. I wear the belt 40 minutes each session. I can feel the muscles contract and have felt a little soreness but nothing major.
I do NOT expect 'rock hard abs' and no such claim was made. I would merely like to strengthen the abdominal muscles. I have chronic back problems which make it impossible to do sit ups. I am hoping this belt will strengthen the muscles just enough to help me do this.
It is not painful, just a tingling sensation, but you can feel and actually SEE the muscles contracting.
At this point I am very satisfied with the purchase.
Slendertone is a great product June 1, 2010
