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.

Customer Reviews

A definite improvement over previous model
I reviewed the previous Slendertone belt, and indicated there that I was going to try this one out. I am glad I did. The programming and intensity range of controls is vastly improved, and the recharge-ability of the device is a true plus. I have been using the unit for approximately three weeks, and it has definitely helped me to restart an exercise program after several months off due to illness. Because the controls are much less bulky, the unit is easier to wear under clothing, and much easier to exercise with while wearing. I am not quite sure why one of the reviewers is so negative on this device. Right now, I am using it an intensity of "40," and i clearly get quite an involuntary muscular workout from it. My wife has commented that she can see the involuntary reactions while the muscle stimulation is working. Granted, I lost a lot of wight while ill, and at 6'3" and 162 pounds, the belt doesn't have to reach "far" in order to stimulate my abs.

I would knock off a half star because of the proprietary connector between the recharger plug and the controller. I recently went on a trip, and I left the wall plug at my hotel. Fortunately, the battery lasted for several days after recharging, and so I had no problem waiting for the hotel to ship the plug back to me. But if I had lost it for sure, I would have been SOL. I contacted Slendertone customer support, and a week later, they still have not responded to my request for a replacement plug.

Hard to believe, but this thing actually works
I know it sounds hard to believe, but if you're already in semi-reasonable shape, this thing actually works. This is one of those products where you tend to think, "Well if this kinda gizmo actually works, why doesn't EVERYBODY already know about it?" I think one reason may be that it probably doesn't work if you really do have a big-fat gut. But if you're like me and only have a layer of fat on your gut (maybe an inch thick? not gobs of fat probably), this gizmo really is able to zap and exercise your abdominal muscles through the fat.

Here's my story: too much business travel got me up to about 163 pounds at 5'7" (male); spent 4 months on the treadmill (and The Abs Diet) getting that down to about 153 pounds (I was doing weights too, so I was gaining muscle mass, hence the slow weight loss). I have a "stiff" spine due to a youthful illness so I can't do crunches. After reading other Amazon reviews that say this gizmo really works, I decided to give it a whirl. Two weeks later (still doing weights and treadmill) I've dropped 4 pounds and I can feel (still under a layer of fat) how strong my ab muscles are getting.

This has me really motivated to lose the final layer of fat on my gut. In the few more weeks that'll take me, I should have some nice abs waiting to greet me.

I highly recommend this device as a useful part of a regular exercise and diet program.

Really Like It
So far it was worth my money. It's easy to use and you can really feel it working. I've only been using it about two weeks but I've already lost 5 pounds and people have been asking if I've lost weight. It doesnt take much dedication so that's a plus as well.
