Can I use
SLENDERTONE ABS
5 for post natal exercise?
Yes. If you are using your
SLENDERTONE
unit for post natal toning, you
should only begin the exercises a minimum of 6 weeks after childbirth -
and you must consult your doctor first. If you have had a caesarean in
the past three months, you must consult your doctor for approval
before using
SLENDERTONE ABS
5.
How do I know when to replace the pads?
With time the pads pick up skin debris and may need to be replaced as
this makes the stimulation less comfortable. You may notice the signal
is weakening even if the batteries are OK. This usually indicates that
the pads are wearing and will soon need replacing. You can check this
by checking the unit with new batteries and/or adjusting the belt to
ensure correct positioning. New pads can be purchased from your
nearest
SLENDERTONE
retailer, online at www.slendertone.com, or from
our Toll Free Customer Service Line at
1-800-551-2443
.
The pads are not sticking to the belt even though they are fairly new.
Can this be improved?
Ensure the grid side of the pad is stuck to the belt. If the grid side is
facing you, you should reverse the pad so that the black side is facing
you. With the liner still on the black side of the pads, press the edges of
each pad very firmly onto the belt before and after each session.
I find it difficult putting on the belt. What should I do?
If you have trouble fitting the belt around your waist, you should hold
the belt by the ends, position the central pad as usual and stretch the
belt as far as you can before fastening it behind your back. A belt
extension is also available from your
SLENDERTONE
retailer, online at
www.slendertone.com, or from our Toll Free Customer Service Line at
1-800-551-2443
.
The stimulation is uncomfortable. How can I improve this?
Ensure the pads are positioned correctly and that they are pressed firmly
against your skin. You can check their placement by switching off your
unit and repositioning the belt as described on page 7.
My skin is red after the exercise. Is this a problem?
Some redness of the skin after a session is normal. It is partly due to an
increase in the blood-flow under the skin and should fade after the
treatment. You may also experience some reddening of the skin due to
the pressure of the stretched belt. This is common and is the same as
the pressure marks you can get from tight clothing. You should not be
concerned about this, but should only wear the belt during a session. If
it is excessive, you may have the intensity too high, which can increase
the reddening in sensitive skin. Try using the unit at a lower intensity for
a few days. If the problem persists, you should stop using the unit.
I can feel a tingling sensation in my legs during an exercise. What
should I do?
Moving the two smaller pads upward and inward (ie. towards the center
of your body) on your waist should prevent this.
I can feel my waist muscles exercising but not my stomach muscles.
Pause the program and reposition the central pad slightly lower on your
stomach. If this doesn’t help, move the 2 small pads to a smaller figure
setting on the belt (towards the central pad).
I can feel my stomach muscles exercising but not my waist muscles.
Pause the program and reposition the central pad slightly higher on
your stomach. If this doesn’t help, move the 2 small pads to a larger
figure setting on the belt (away from the central pad).
