FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I use
SLENDERTONE ABS7
for post natal exercise?
• 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 6. 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.
How do I know when to replace the gel pads?
• With time the gel pads pick up skin debris and will need to be replaced, as
this makes the workout less effective and less comfortable.
• You may notice the signal is weakening even if the battery is fully charged.
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 signal is still weak or uncomfortable, you
should order new gel pads.
• New gel pads can be purchased from www.slendertone.com or from

I can feel my waist muscles exercising but not my stomach muscles.
• Pause the programme 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).
I can feel my stomach muscles exercising but not my waist muscles.
• Pause the programme and reposition the central gel pads slightly higher on
your stomach. If this doesn’t help, move the 2 smaller gel pads to a larger
figure setting on the belt (away from the central gel pad).

* The symbol always appears in conjunction with the left/right intensity
indicators. If the left indicator appears, there is a problem with the left gel pad,
the right indicator shows a problem with the right gel pad and if both indicators
appear there is a problem with either the middle gel pad or all three gel pads.
