Questions and Answers

Q
Can I use my belt for post
SLENDERTONE
natal exercise?
A Yes. If you are using your unit for post
SLENDERTONE
natal toning, you should only begin the sessions a
minimum of six 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 the
belt.

Q
How do I know when to replace the pads?
A
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 inserting new batteries and/or
adjusting the belt to ensure correct positioning. If
the pads are wearing, the symbol will also
appear on the display. Replacement pads can be
purchased from your nearest stockist,
SLENDERTONE
f rom the website (www. s l e n d e rt o n e . c o m )
S LEND ERTO NE
or, by calling your local Careline.

Q
The pads are not sticking to the belt even though
they are fairly new. Is there any reason for this?
A
Ensure the patterned side of each pad is placed
onto the belt. The black side of the pads should
always be facing you. Press the edges of each
pad very firmly onto the belt before and after
each session.
Q
The stimulation is uncomfortable. How can I
improve this?
A 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 3.
You may also find it beneficial to rub a moisturiser
into the skin between sessions.
Q
I can feel a tingling sensation in my legs during
a session. What should I do?
A
Moving the two smaller pads upwards and inwards
on your waist (i.e. towards the centre of your body)
should prevent this.

Q
My skin is red after the session. Is this a problem?
A Some redness of the skin after a
SLENDERTONE
session may occur. It is partly due to an increase in
the blood-flow under the skin and should fade
after the session. You may also experience some
reddening of the skin due to the pressure of the
stretched belt. This is the same as the pressure
marks you can get from wearing tight clothing. You
should not be concerned about this, but should
only wear the belt during a session. If it
SLENDERTONE
is excessive, you may have the intensity too high,
which can increase the reddening on sensitive
skin. Try using the unit at a lower intensity for a
few days. You may also find it beneficial to rub a
moisturiser into the skin between sessions. If the
problem persists, you should stop using the unit.
Q
I can feel my waist muscles exercising but not my
stomach muscles.
A Pause the programme and reposition the central
pad slightly lower on your stomach. If this doesn't
help, move the two small pads to a smaller figure
setting on the belt (towards the central pad).
Q
I can feel my stomach muscles exercising but not
my waist muscles.
A Pause the programme and reposition the central
pad slightly higher on your stomach. If this doesn't
help, move the two small pads to a larger figure
setting on the belt (away from the central pad).
Q
Can I use my belt to treat muscles
SLENDERTONE
weakened from lack of use due to injury?
A Your belt may additionally be used for
SLENDERTONE
the alleviation of or compensation for injury.
Consultation with your doctor is required to
establish a rehabilitation programme with the
unit, which would safely provide
SLENDERTONE
improvement to the strength and tone of the
abdominal muscles.
