“I was able to use this straight away, as it came fully charged. The battery lasted 18 days before it ran out and there is an indicator on the LED screen to let you know how much power is left.I didn't read the manual and hit the ground running. It is easy to use, but you may wish to read the manual to keep up to speed on the settings and effects.It is quick to charge (1 hour approx. to fully charge) and although it does not come with a charger, it does come with a port so can be charged using a USB/Android charger.I used this for a month whilst fasting intermittently and did notice the difference. However, that is thanks to the muscle memory. I was noticeably toned, firm and shapely by the end of 5 weeks and I'm hoping I will achieve my target look within a few months and I'm currently on program 8. I like to chop and change so my muscles don't adapt to the intensity. Keeping each program fresh. The programs are intense, so do build yourself up, it can be painful but tolerable. No pain, no gain.Now, don't expect miracles or to achieve six or eight packs as per the ad. This is a great supplement for people who have already built that physique and the models featured have already developed that muscle and tone to create a chiseled stomach. If you are only just starting out on your fitness journey, you will need to complement the belt with other exercise and a good diet. Best worn before meals, however I have worn it an hour after. In terms of size and fit, it is adjustable and comes with velcro placed on either side of the belt. Please read the spec and measure your waist and hips. This is not suitable for the clinically obese.The stand out feature with this belt is that you don't need gel or gel pads either from the offset or later; dry pads are built in and comes with an empty spray bottle, fill with tap water and spray the pads and your body. A little goes a long way, so really good value for money and minus the faff and added cost of replenishing. Simples!There is a slight stickiness when you remove the belt, but this is to be expected given the moisture from the water.I will update a few months down the line.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great results in just 4 weeks!I lost almost 10 cm from my lower belly in only 4 weeks using the Tesmed ABSolute belt daily for 25 minutes. I'm only on program 5 and intensity 40, but the effect is real — my abs are firmer and more toned. It's powerful, comfortable, and easy to use. Highly recommend it, especially if you combine it with healthy eating and some exercise!This belt is out of this world”

“***(UPDATE)***I have noticed that since I purchased the device, it has been changed - something sellers do to keep the reviews from previous products.Also at the time of my purchase, there had already been different products on this same listing.(It says that this device comes under "Toys"?!). Change it.***I can honestly say, that, initially, I was somewhat apprehensive & sceptical of the products' claims that boast it's 'premium quality' & 'highly effective', hospital-grade functions... but I was quickly humbled and can say with absolute certainty, that it IS all of those things, and then some!..I have used and own a couple of EMS devices - to aid in muscle-strengthening, toning & growth, when my Polyarthritis limits my capabilities for an extended period of time and had a totally biased opinion of 'TENS' machines' functional quality - just assuming that it was ineffective 'malarky'...That was, until I actually purchased a new (different) EMS device that also had the additional TENS capabilities/modes, or so I thought... in-fact, it was instead a TENS-oriented device, with a very terrible couple of EMS modes that turned-out to be THE single-most worst EMS function/s I had ever used!..That being said, the TENS modes on that particular device were SO incredibly effective, that it completely changed my mind about TENS altogether and I swiftly adopted the idea of using that other device solely for the TENS function, only!This left me with the decision to either purchase another EMS-only device, OR get an EMS + TENS machine, that has exceptionally good modes for 'BOTH'...After much contemplation and a few months of research, observations & perceptual changes... I finally decided upon THIS specific device, from 'Med-Fit'.I can hardly express how deeply-appreciative & pleased I am with this product - I am VERY happy with my purchase!This has been, by far, the MOST effective AND efficient EMS device I have EVER used!.. Not to mention the exceptional TENS modes as well!I am so glad I own this PERFECT, 'master' kit; impeccable technical craftsmanship, that is both SAFE, customisable & intuitive - it really is a professional, premium, high-grade product and has an extensive owner's/user's manual, with fully-detailed, descriptive explanations of every conceivable & perceivable aspect of the entire device's capabilities/functions, limits & safety measures/practices...The included double-sided 'placement' poster with more detailed diagrams that show the best sites to apply the electrodes (pads) + the suggested modes & (optional; custom) settings, really sets this apart from the generic & knock-off versions...The user interface (UI) is considerably easy & simple to navigate (once you fully understand and test each of the pre-programmed modes + the customisable modes & settings - for both TENS & EMS; providing a comprehensive and user-friendly selection system that is not overwhelming or complicated. It gives you full-control over the 2-channels that can be individually tunned to a vast array of different settings - whether you wish to use a quick and simple 'pre-set' programme, or have more experience and would like to fine-tune your own custom experience - this is the perfect device to match your strengths & work on your weaknesses!One thing I will say though, is that when you connect your 1, or 2, main wires (by which x2 electrodes (pads) can be connected to EACH of the main [channel] wires... I dread to think how many people struggle to fully insert the electrodes' pins that need to be inserted into the main wires' port/s, because they are VERY, very TIGHT-fitting and require considerable strength/force to be properly connected!Which, on one hand, is a good thing, because it means that they will NEVER have even the slightest possibility of 'falling out' or coming loose... but for those individuals whom do not have the strength, nor someone to assist them with this, it would definitely be a struggle to do so by themselves!The charger really intrigued me, as it consists of a 4-piece system, where you have the choice of a 3-pin UK plug AND 2-pin Euro plug, which can be removed/attached to the main adapter that has a USB slot, where the charging cable is inserted; only thing is, that the charging cable supplied/used, is NOT a USB Type-C Port, it is an older version that phones & cameras used to take - so it is recommended to keep it safe, just in case!I actually purchased a general electronics storage/travel bag that has adjustable dividers and straps, netting, pockets, etc... to store each of the cables/wires and the electrodes, the device and the manuals, neatly and conveniently and it was reasonably cheap but very good quality and perfect to store all the different parts + the extra (larger) electrodes (pads) that I purchased to be used with this device.The pads themselves are very 'sticky', in-fact, these are certainly the most adhesive pads I have come across (MUCH better than the Auvon pads - which keep peeling/falling off on the FIRST use!). These particular pads are so effective at their job, it takes some pulling to remove them once the session is completed! No skin irritation or itchiness and no residue after use; they can be used up to 50x times (each), before needing to be replaced by far, the best-quality pads out there!I only would have hoped that they included some of the 2"x4" pads instead of only 2"x2" ones - the bigger ones I have are the Auvon ones and they're terrible at staying on/in-place! (I wish that I had bigger ones from Med-Fit).The battery capacity is rather impressive! I used the machine for multiple LONG sessions, with relatively high-powered modes + intensities and it lasted for days on end! I have NEVER run out of battery unexpectedly.It takes about 2-hours to charge to a point where it can be used for up to a week+ (solely depending on usage) - so it does have a really decent battery.The device itself is somewhat easily-wieldable - meaning that it sits nicely in the hand, with a perfectly-weighted feel to it and also has a really convenient, handy 'belt-hook' on the reverse of the device (which is pretty sturdy!), so it is highly portable AND can be attached easily to your belt/waistband + it has a safety 'lock' feature - by way of a small, easily-distinguishable red button, so that you don't accidentally press any of the buttons (and also makes it safe to store in your pocket while it operates).I've got to say, that I absolutely love the variety of modes and programmes available to use!.. The ability to use 'custom' modes to fully customise the width + rate + frequency of your most desirable choice/s, is a game-changer that keeps it 'interesting' (in a way) - there is an incredible amount of variety that make sure that it's useable by EVERY single person whom utilises this innovative bit of gear!There really are no bounds, no constraints to who can use it, regardless of ability, strengths, weaknesses, age, fitness, etc... Literally, the most 'complete' all-in-one, one-size-fits-all (conceptually) device that can be used by young, old, post-surgery, recovering, rehabbing, athletic, body-building, beginners, novices, professional, amateur, ANY PERSON, regardless of their 'label' can effectively benefit from the use of this TENS + EMS Machine - it can be gentle AND an absolute POWERHOUSE, with 99-levels of intensity that, at it's maximum capacity, even the most muscular can hardly endure it!And each level is a minor increasement in intensity, whereas on particular devices, whether they have 20 or 99-levels, are totally imbalanced and each increment is an insanely uncomfortable/painful jump - especially at lower levels, which makes them NOT user-friendly or even safe to use by most, but THIS specific device is carefully curated and masterfully produced to be suitable for ALL ability levels...This is why I rate it 5*-stars!”

“This little device is fantastic. I have spinal injuries so I can't do sit ups but but this has really added tone to my stomach muscles and helped me to lose weight.I started out at 12st 3, and after using this for a month, I'm down to 11st 12 (not dieting but being careful what I eat)I use it once a day but in 3 different positions (totalling about an hour) each side of my stomach and at the front of my stomach.A couple of sprays on the pads every time I use it and that's it.It's really simple to use, it's really effective and I couldn't be happier with the results.”

“REVIEW 04/09/2025: I have just upgraded to their new version of this device which is a device with pads that DO NOT need replacing. The new pads make the device much more comfortable to wear, doesn't hurt, sting or burn. Arms genuinely feel like they have had a work out, they get that ache. Lower settings are a good call too, as there is a massage mode which can help relax the muscle if your not after something heavy one day.The new device has better straps too, more robust.This is a small change but one I think makes a difference with east of use, the connection and base where the unit actually sits on the strap, for those of you who have not got one, I am talking about the little circular thing in the middle with the blue light on (look at the picture) this is what controls the device, it has a much better biting point when attaching it now so it has a better and strong connection, the old model could be a little fiddly.I have tried many of these devices over the years, including the expensive slender tone. This is the one that gives best bang for it buck.Oh, and great customer service too, huge thank you to Hanna.Arms genuinely feel like they have had a workout and some definition has changed: mission accomplished.”

“I got this as i've already tried a different machine. This EMS machine is superior. When I first tried it out on my arm I only tried a low pulse and felt ok. then I went up 2 levels and could really feel the electrical shocks. After 3 goes on my arm I can say I do feel a difference in the muscle. A great machine”

“Tried many but none compare to this for the price. Most of similar price are weak but this one is very powerful. Not managed to get up to full yet as it's quite powerful. Also, it's easy to wrap around with ample Velcro.The toning pads are extra wide and cover whole abdomen unlike others.The results are truly amazing!Can't go wrong for price and quality.”

“I don't normally leave reviews, but this device is brilliant. My right quad is in atrophy due to a back spasm a year ago, I've started using this and I've noticed a difference, it takes some getting used to on the higher frequencies but I can see the muscle working. Also where my muscle was weaker, it caused knee pain and some fluid on the knee, the painful knee is improving. All in all I can't fault it for the price point, I know you can spend 100s of pounds on a Compex but this is good enough for me. A++++++”

“Great product at a great price. Dual channel, easy to use. Adhesive is excellent quality. Relieved my back pain instantly. Plenty of modes to try. I love the fact that I can stick the pads to desired area and keep controller at hand to make desired changes. The only downside is the clip. It comes off very easily,not designed thoughtfully at all.”

“Vorab - der Wadentrainer macht einen sehr wertigen Eindruck. Er funktioniert wie angegeben, allerdings muß ich bei mir die Stufe 15 einstelle um eine relevante muskuläre Kontraktion festzustellen. Ein abschließendes Urteil werde ich in 2-3 Monaten nachreichen.”

“Ich benutze es zusätzlich zum EMS-Training. Das ganze mit Erfolg. Etwas nervig ist das man die Manschette und auch die Wade anfeuchten muss. Das erinnert mich einwenig an die Anfänge des EMS. Ich kann es trotzdem weiter empfehlen”

“This back muscle stimulator is fabulous! The first thing I noticed when I opened the box, it's how well made it is, it looks very durable.It's very comfortable to wear and very easy to adjust to size, just pulling the elastic bands on both sides and securing them in the middle.Another thing that I liked is that the controller is removable, you can take it off to change it, I find this feature very convenient.It comes with surprisingly good instructions, and it's easy to use, I tried to use it without reading the instructions, but I ended up reading them and it was very useful, it only took me a couple of minutes. It turns on pressing +, it's easy to change modes by pressing M and it changes intensity by pressing+/-. To turn of long press -.It's comfortable to wear, I have been wearing it around the house, exercising while I'm doing chores or watching a movie, it's a great way of multitasking and saving time.The only thing that needs changing is the controller, it takes about an hour if it has been depleted, but it lasts a whole week fully charged.I think it's a great value for money item, it's very good quality, comfortable and durable.”

“I bought this muscle stimulator to help with my back tightness, and it's been a great tool. The straps physically keeps the shoulders pulled back to fix our posture, while the pulses do a fantastic job relaxing stiff neck and back muscles. Highly recommend it.”
