Speaking as a quad that has very limited sensation in the abdominal area, I do wonder if instead of a tens unit or one of those wing ding belly deflators that the FDA dismissed as useless, what if you used a crank magneto. I'm not sure how many milliamps a person can take without burning flesh, but if anything will get you doing situps, that machine should do it! Lets be realistic, its not voltage, its amperage that causes that electrical shock that burns your tastebuds. I've heard people say they get relief with a tens unit but I've heard plasebos are pretty effective too. Whatever you do, good luck.

The FDA issued a statement two years ago on the benefit or lack of benefits by anyone using a device very similar to the slendertone. Personally, I would think that you'd get the same results with a well placed "TENS" unit. If you are really interested in this product and what it will do for YOU, have a certified Physical Therapist discuss the merits with you. Granted, it just might work, but I don't think so. But the idea of an old TENS unit might be the answer.
