 +50 uses for Slendertone Pads secrets! Jun 13, 2008
By Bruce Miller
Before replacing the plastic covers, clean the facing side carefully with Windex and tissue to remove the skin oils easily seen as residue. Clean the covers EVERY time before storage then carefully centering them on pads and squeezing away all air bubbles, along edges in particular.
Mist the pads with good atomizer's water spray whenever pads start losing tackiness. Pads should look glossy when dry with tack, never dull and no stickiness.
If dull and/or covered with lint showing, spray heavily with water and drag lint balls off pad with fingertip, then let dry until again tacky.
With care, pads WILL last for months and months and easily +50 sessions following EACH tip.
It's best starting out with new pads and maintaining them rather than rescuing pads already dull and unsticky.
The KEY is pristine clean plastic covers draw skin oils away from pad onto their surface during storage between uses. That and not letting air gaps dry out edges by pressing them down before stored.
Also, fold up belt pad over pad to keep covers from peeling away stored. Walmart has 4oz travel spray bottles with the ideal micro-fine mist as water should be applied to pads, for 50 cents. As LITTLE water as possible, never drenched unless trying to remove debris.
There's nothing to the pads causing failure after 10 uses besides accumulating oils and particles layering over gel surface just below. Even one cycle of clean cover and storage will reveal how much stickiness-destroying grease transferred OFF gel ONTO plastic ready to Windex (works better than anything else) dissolve. The migration and oil/water separation happens during storage. Its the clean plastic that draws the skin oils towards it. When plastic film is soiled reapplied, the skin oils seem to sink into gel instead, starting the degradation cycle. When gel pads remain glossy and tacky peeling plastic off after storage at least a day later, long service life results. The large center gel pad needs more focus than side pads.
The more attention, the greater the benefit. My current pad set has over 100 40 minute sessions, and barely lost as-new pad performance still running. Four pad sets lasted over one year, including discovering and refining these secrets never described before now.
With Duracell's for power, Slendertone usage costs now are redefined. Instead of $1 supplies cost per session, slashed to a fraction. For me, substantial savings. I keep a travel bottle of water and Windex with belt storage bag making maintenance a few seconds routine and pad set replacement rare event.
The consistency of session intensity levels turned the belt from gadget to an exercise machine probably reason still used at all. I doubt hundreds of sessions even possible with ordering typical pad sets killing desire first.
This technique requires skin free of moisturizers to work and sweat-free sessions. I find best results lying still during sessions anyways. Walking around with gel pads pulling away as result will remain costly short life-cycles. I suggest ordering a second belt (around $20) and recycling old pads for such uses. EMS stimulation and multi-tasking exercise only sells more pads. EMS stim gel pads in clinical use require no movement at all. Even the very best Axelgaard peel off otherwise. Slendertone's gel pads (also made by Axelgaard) are incredible quality medical-grade and far more rugged given the chance.
Comments after adopting this method long enough to see results promised welcome. This review originates at Amazon.com while linked to across web. Only comments can add here.
Let's elevate Slendertone discussion such great product deserves. Some of us get phenomenal results, but don't bother with feedback unless voicing complaints. The effect is highly biased towards only those to read anywhere. A real shame decisions made by.

Long lasting isometric tensioning. Aug 19, 2008
By Stephen R. Lasky
"srlasky@burningelectrons.org"
I read some negative reviews saying that the pads didn't last long enough. I haven't had that problem, in fact, they lasted longer than I expected. I think that I used the first set of pads several times a day for several weeks before they started shorting out. I'm still on my second set and going strong, but I haven't been using them everyday this time. You have to remember to put the plastic backing back on them when you aren't using them. It says that in the instructions.
Its also true that this belt will not make you thinner or effect your weight loss. You have to be working on that separately, and then the belt is a good addition to your whole routine. I think that it helps your abdominal muscle condition if you use them enough at high enough voltage. I really crank mine up (to 999, as high as they will go) and use them on program 3 or 4 so I get the most tensioning.
Given that I have a sample number of 1, I cannot say for sure that they actually do anything, but its my strong impression that my abdomen is more toned and it is easier to do more crunches if I use the belt than it would be if I didn't use it. Personally, I think its worth the money, but don't expect any miracles. Miracles don't happen, you just have to have a well rounded conditioning program and if you add the belt to it, it helps.
just my $0.02

THIS THING IS AWESOME Jun 22, 2008
By J. Vasquez
"luvinit"
My sticky pads are still sticky, and I've used it for a while now with no problems. As long as you are CLEAN when you put it on, you shouldn't have a problem, I guess some people don't realize that. Just like everything else on the planet, if you take care of your things, they will work just fine.

 Average quality gel pads. Feb 08, 2008
By C. Mackey
The pads are great for the first twelve uses or so, but then I have a hard time with the connection to the Slendertone belt.

Lasts long... Oct 28, 2007
By Andrew J. Marton
Amazingly good pads. I live in So. Calif. and use the Slendertone Flex everyday. Pads are lasting over 30 days but I do not exercise while wearing them - just walk the dog. If you sweat, I would let the dry out a little before putting the pastic covers and putting unit back in pouch to prevent mold. I have never had this problem but have read about it.
