FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I use
SLENDERTONE ABS
• Yes, but you must wait a minimum of 6 weeks after childbirth before you begin using it and you
must consult your doctor first.
• If you've had a Caesarean in the past 3 months, consult your doctor for approval before using
the belt.
The stimulation is uncomfortable. How can I improve this?
• Make sure the gel pads are positioned correctly and that they are pressed firmly against your
skin - see page 7 & 8. Switch off your controller and reposition the belt if necessary.
• You can also smear a few drops of water on the black surface of the gel pads. This can improve
the comfort of the muscle stimulation, but be careful not to get water on the controller. Ensure
the controller is switched OFF before you do this!
• Ensure the metal studs are fully covered by the gel pads.
My skin is red after the exercise. Is this a problem?
• Some redness of the skin after a toning session is normal. It is partly due to an increase in the
blood flow under the skin and should fade after a while. You may also experience some reddening
of the skin due to the pressure of the belt. This is the same as the pressure marks you get from
tight clothing. You should not be concerned about this. It should fade soon after you remove the belt.
• If the redness is excessive, you may have the toning intensity too high. This may increase the
reddening in sensitive skin. Try using a lower toning intensity for a few days. If the problem persists,
you should stop using the product.
Will the controller cause muscle soreness?
• As with all exercise some muscle soreness can occur after using the belt. This is normal and
should go away after a day or two. Use a low toning intensity for a few sessions if you are
experiencing muscle soreness.
I can feel a tingling sensation in my legs during an exercise. What should I do?
• This indicates that the gel pads are over your hip-bones. Moving the two smaller gel pads upwards
and inwards on your waist (i.e. towards the centre of your body) should prevent this. Remember
to pause or switch off your
How do I know when to replace the gel pads?
• With time the gel pads pick up skin debris and may need to be replaced as this makes the
workout less effective and less comfortable.
• You may notice the signal is weakening even if the batteries are OK. This usually indicates that the
gel pads are wearing and will soon need replacing. You can check this by first adjusting the belt to
ensure correct positioning of the gel pads. If the problem persists, try using the controller with a
new battery pack. If the signal is still weak or uncomfortable, you should order new gel pads.
• New gel pads can be purchased online at www.slendertone.com (check for special offers) or from
the careline.
I can feel my waist muscles exercising but not my stomach muscles.
• Pause the program and reposition the central gel pad slightly lower on your stomach. If this
doesn't help, move the 2 small gel pads to a smaller figure setting on the belt (towards the
central gel pad).
