Slendertone Arms Male Replacement Pads

Product Information

In addition to the abs belt, you will get 2 smaller pads, which are designed to work your thighs. You’ll need to move them around. Each one comes with its own mini control panel.

The Abs8 is controlled by a rechargeable battery powered remote control which is easy to use and you can get started pretty much straight away. Charging times are around 3 hours.The Abs8 features an OLED display, up to 100 levels of intensity, 10 pre-set programs and can be used passively whilst undertaking other activities or more intensely for a more rigorous workout. Without the grid, the electrical pulses would not spread as much, leading to greater current density and potentially less comfortable toning sessions. The main unit still features its own rechargeable controller that powers the belt and the gel pads are also in use and vital for getting the most out of the belt. There is a screen on the controller but this is mainly used to show whether the unit is powered up and you will need the app to control the belt fully. There are 3 controllers in total that provide the power to the pads so you can use all three at the same time. For the purposes of this review we only focused on the main abdominal pad but we are sure the arm/leg pads would work just as well. The controllers are charged using a 3-in-1 USB charger that comes supplied and they maintain their charge for a good few uses. We didn’t test full capacity but we were able to use each controller at least 6 times before we re-charged them.

I’ll summarise like this: If you can afford the extra money, go for the proven belts with the latest technology from Slendertone. If you are on a budget, or maybe just want to try out a belt before you commit, then there are cheaper alternatives which will work great. If you are looking for the out and out best ab toning belt then it simply has to be Slendertone. It is a close run thing between the Abs 8 and the Connect Abs and if you prefer app connectivity then the Connect might be better suited to you, if not (and it isn’t really necessary) then the Abs8 is our winner.

What Abs Belt Brands Compete with the Popular Slendertone – and are they Good Value?

The Abs8 fits all waist sizes between 24 inches and 42inches which is ideal for most people who will likely see a benefit from an ab toning belt. If you find yourself with a waist size of higher than 42 inches then you can either opt for the Abs7 belt or we would suggest pursuing a more all-round fat loss regime that includes training and nutrition.
