Has anyone ever used on of these? Did it help you any when you worked out while wearing it? I am thinking about getting one for when I am working out but wanted to see if anyone had any success with one. Thanks!

    It's a gimmick, save your money for quality groceries that will work with your diet. 99% of that infomercial crap is just that, crap. :smile:

    do u mean a slendertone sort of thing?
    i got one.. and it did work..
    but the problem is is that it was alot stronger on one side than the other so i was scared that it would make my abs lob-sided..
    so i stopped using it =/
    but if u manage to find a slendertone that isnt broken then i wouldnt definitely recommend them..
    but i dont know if thats how they are / thats how my abs are / if it was just broken..

    I don't know if I necessarily think it helps me loose fat faster, but all I do know is that when I am wearing one I sweat A LOT more! Because I sweat more I do think I get a better workout than if I workout without. Hope that helped! :)

    I bought a decent priced one in an Avon book and yes I sweat way more but if u don't want to spend money use plastic wrap like what u would use to cover food! Works just as good and I do feel it slims me down :)

    I have 2 that I bought for about 5 bucks each at walmart. they are Gold's Gym brand...I put one over the lower part of my belly and one around my ribs under my bra....I LOVE them!!! I love to sweat when I work out, makes me feel like my workout was more effective and I'm not sure why, but I just love to sweat when I work out....I also wear a long sleeve under armour shirt and a long sleeve t-shirt over the trimmer belts...and by the time I'm done with my 40 minutes on the elliptical machine....I am sweating all the way through....I'm not sure if the belts help to shape your waist or even make you lose inches...but the definitely help you lose some of that water weight!

    I was thinking of trying the $5 one from Wal Mart so this really helped me! plus $5 isn't too much so it's worth a shot! Thanks so much!!!

    Glad I could help! I absolutely love them!! Make sure you hang them to dry after a workout! Or they will start to smell!

    If you're wearing it because you like to sweat that's one thing, but if you're looking for it to actually HELP your exercise efforts I believe you'll be disappointed. If you want to lose water weight simply drink more water, when you are properly hydrated your body gets rid of the excess through urine. Sweating isn't a measure of how hard you're working or how many calories you're burning, it just means your body's cooling system is working and all that belt is doing is making it work harder by reducing the surface area available for evaporation. Save your money, even if it is only $5.

    Agreed.
