Using the Vibro Shaper belt is easy and painless. You can simply turn on your Vibro Shape, sit near an outlet and watch TV.
You can place the belt on your stomach, your thighs, your buttocks or even your back or shoulders depending on the area you are using. you want to work and / or massage.
The information on use is very brief. For example, we don't know how many times in a day or how long to use it is necessary, so we have developed our own routine with regular use (once a day for 10 to 30 minutes over a period of 4 weeks). Note that we do not recommend more than 30 min per zone each day and that when you start with this device, we recommend that you go gradually and do the different programs for 15 min and not 30 minutes.
As for the use itself, at first the vibration function may surprise. You are very likely to feel a tickling sensation, but you get used to it pretty quickly.
The Vibro Shape is an affordable slimming belt, in direct competition with the
Beurer EM 35 ,
Gymform Dual Shaper , MeaBelt 400 and more widely the
Slendertone System Abs .
If you've been trying to shape your abs for years, this device is supposed to give you an extra boost, in addition to daily exercises including you need.
Indeed, crunch exercises (standard abdominal exercises) are very good, but can sometimes cause pain in the back and neck.
The Vibro Shape was therefore designed like a mo easy yen for shaping abs without putting stress on your back or neck.
Comfort and Practicality
When opening the box, we quickly understand that you must always be near an outlet because the device only works on sector. So forget about freedom of movement.
Use
Second problem that we deplore is that the manual lacks explanations (when it is French language). No indication of duration is provided by the manufacturer, so it is impossible to know how many sessions are necessary to obtain a result. Fortunately, the operation is simple.
Also, we did not have a power plan included in our box, certainly an oversight given that the ads mention that a plan is provided. On the other hand, the carrying bag was present.
The use itself is rather easy and quick. All you have to do is choose a program and its intensity using the "remote control".
The advantage compared to some slimming belts is that there are no electrodes to connect and therefore no false contact but also and above all is that you do not have to change the electrodes every 30 uses. Knowing that a package of electrodes costs on average 12 €, it can quickly become expensive.
The mechanical part works well on the other hand in operation, the device is a little noisy with the function & quot; vibration & quot; but it remains correct and we get used to it.
Effectiveness
Like many people, you want to lose weight and belly fat and you are leaning for the easy way out. How effective is the Vibro Shape?
As far as muscle toning is concerned, with regular use, results, even if slight, can be felt. We used it for the abdominals as well as the glutes or thighs. But don't expect extraordinary results. The belt vibrates and heats up but there is no electronic stimulation.
After several sessions of 10 to 30 minutes per day, we feel the abdominals tone up. Of course, this is not worth a real session but it is still very practical.
However the problem that most people encounter is not muscle definition but rather excess of fat in the stomach, hips and thighs. And there this belt clearly does not keep its promises and will be of no use. We used it for half an hour a day for almost 4 weeks and saw no difference. Vibration technology cannot target and burn belly fat in any way. In any case, no study to date proves it. So to the question is it effective for weight loss, and even though we have only used it for 2 months, the answer is no.
Regarding the massaging effect on the other hand, effects are noticeable and it is even rather pleasant to use. This product allows you to massage (relax) the back, perfect for people with back pain.
Quality & amp; Reliability / Strength & amp; Durability
The vibroshape massage belt seems on the whole rather solid even if we noted a few weaknesses.
For example, we are disappointed with the quality of the seams, which could eventually lead to a complete break and therefore an inability to use it. After several uses, in fact, the belt is torn at the level of the black openwork fabric. To be used with caution.
In addition, the belt very quickly shows malfunctions (false contacts which may ultimately make it impossible to put the belt into operation).
We also suspect that after a few months, the wire that connects to the mains socket inevitably ends up being damaged (friction), making the whole unusable.
We only used it for a period of 2 months . To see if this belt can be sustained over time.
Restrictions
The use of vibratory technology unlike electrostimulation is much less binding. However, check the manufacturer's contraindications before use and see your doctor if you have any doubts.
