Ab Belts are scams.

Companies that sell those belts that use electronic stimulation of the muscles (like Energizer, AbTronic, FastAb, Gymform) have been charged, repeatably, with false advertising. One company gets shut down and then another comes out of the woodwork. Although eltronic muscle stimulation has some medical use (for people who need physical therapy because they've been in a coma, or lost the use of an limb for some reason, electic currents can be applied to keep the musicles from wasting away completly from dissue), it really has no application to weight loss. The kind of electrical current that would actually be needed to cause serious toning and calorie burning would be VERY PAINFUL.

So in a nutshell, Ab belts don't work. They can't work. It's not scientifically possible. Please don't waste your money.
