Slendertone Replacement Gel Pads for Flex Abdominal and Gymbody Belts (3 Pads)
Review by usclawgrad2001 : Make your slendertone pads last forever

Before I bought this item, I kept seeing people complain that the pads wore out so quickly. I saw some people that said that they drenched the pads in rubbing alcohol to make them last longer. Others online recommended using window cleaner after each use. And still others said to use water based lubricant. I tried the rubbing alcohol and window cleaner and that didn't really work well because if you were using a towel to apply the stuff to the pads, the towel would stick and leave residue on the pads. The water based lubricants would probably be too messy. After thinking about it some more, I came up with the perfect solution. I found something that combines all the things everyone else had recommended (or elements of each) in a nice, none messy solution... so if you want to keep your slendertone pads working for a very, very long time, just use PURELL (OR ANY ALCOHOL BASED HAND SANITIZER) after each use. Put a couple drops on there, rub it on the pad to cover the surface and then wipe off the excess or just let it dry. No dripping mess, no towels sticking to the pads and no mess on you either. Works like a charm and the pads become sticky and work like new each time. I haven't had to replace any of my pads in months and months.

Review by Tay Arreaza Ch : The pads are the excuse to be a consumer for ever

The Slendertone is good, works great, is strong, but the only thing that i dont like is the fact that you have to buy constantly the replacement pads, the way that you can save money is buying a conducting gel and you put it on the gel pads and you have gel pads almost for ever.

Review by C. Mackey : Average quality gel pads.

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.

Review by J. Vasquez "luvinit" : THIS THING IS AWESOME

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.

Review by Andrew J. Marton : Lasts long...

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.

Review by Stephen R. Lasky "srlasky@burningelectrons.org" : Long lasting isometric tensioning.

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
