How to Extend the Usage for Slendertone Gel Pads

Slendertone products use electronic muscle stimulation technology to improve the strength and firmness of muscles. The gel pads are a part of the product that attaches to the belt and makes contact with the skin to conduct the current that stimulates the muscles. Slendertone recommends replacing the gel pads after 20 to 30 sessions of 30 minutes. Various factors affect the life of the gel pads, including the skin type of the user, how frequently the pads are used and how well they are stored. There are a few simple actions and methods of handling that can extend the life of these gel pads.

Instructions

    • 1

      Cleanse the skin with soap and water where the gel pads will make contact before using the Slendertone product. This reduces oils and dirt that may affect the life of the gel pads.

    • 2

      Reduce the handling of the gel pads by leaving them attached to the unit until they require replacing rather than taking them on and off for storage.

    • 3

      Cover the gel pads when not in use with the plastic covers that came with the product. If the original covers are lost or damaged, any kind of available clean plastic may be used.

      Put a little water on the gel pads to extend their use when the pads begin to show wear. This may rehydrate the gel substance that helps the pad adhere to the skin.
