How long should I leave this on to get the max "sweat" benefit? I keep thinking my body will re-absorb the sweat.

I never thought of that concept of re-absorbing the sweat because the material through out is like the outside of a waist trimmer belt- therefore it absorbs the sweat. After I exercise my underwear are normally soaking - 30-50 minutes.

Hi there! We recommend wearing the sauna gear for the total duration of your workout. Your body will not re-absorb the sweat. However we also suggest to remove the clothing after working out.

Thank you for the input, it is different from somebody else's comment. I normally leave it on after my treadmill 50 minute workout until I "cool down". So, you are saying workout, go and remove, and cool down and continue to sweat without it on?? Any reason for doing it this way??

Its up to you really. It says to leave it on for 5-30 min. You actually don't have to wash it off if you don't want to. To me thats kinda waisting it. I use it as my nightly moisturizer. I get better results that way. Its a better version of the vital c lotion. So its perfectly fine to use it that way. U can also mix it with other image moisturizers and leave on

I'm in there naked and at the highest setting. I start dripping sweat at 25 min. It shuts off 5 min later, and I drip profusely for the next 30 min while the sauna is off. At first, though, I did not sweat.

How often should I put this on and for how long before I start over again? Like every other day for 2 weeks and then start over for example?

It's a 2oz tube. Probably lasts 8-10 hours per application with sweat. Assume 3-4 days/tube with generous application over most of body.

My instructions say to reactivate it you would re-wet, wring out and shake. I use it for racquetball and have only done that and it keeps it without sweat, etc.

I have only used it on upper arms, above breast & on my back. It has stayed on for a week over med patch until I change it. At times I have been very sweaty & it has not come off.

I'd lean a bit more towards 20 minutes, but I usually don't pay attention because it just seems to do it's job.I've mentioned before that after the body side of it seems to cool down to the point of moving, you'll find substantial heat on the pillow side, if you were so inclined to use one. I actually anticipate that and go to it forthe final heat application after removing the heating pad! This pad seems to be pretty well built now that I'veused it for several months. Not that anyone was asking...

Not really! It may for some people but for some reason not for me. Other reviewers made it sound like you were gonna be drenching in sweat! But I guess individual results may vary.

I think around 2 months. You don't want to put too much on because it will burn your skin. Another trick I found is to spray your skin with rubbing alcohol to help make sure the skin is dry before you apply it. If your skin is wet at all it will burn bad and become very irritated. This product is great though. It even works when I'm working out.

You will end up with a bunch of foam. That stuff is b.s. anyways i returned mine. Just have some honey or a small cup of coffee 45 min before a workout and stay hydrated.

In my opinion, it could use more resistance at the higher settings, I do break a sweat around the 15-20 minute mark, but tend to stay on the bike longer than that to try and get a good workout in, usually 25-30 minutes. Settings 1-4 to me are barely noticeable in resistance. If the resistance was an even climb throughout the adjustment range, it would of been perfect.

I would recommend that you not water for a day or so as the product softens when wet. I think you will find that it is very effective within the first 24-48 hours.

When I first got mine, their site explained that the skin should be moist. The sample they gave was: the skin should be slightly damp, like you've been exercising for half-hour--glistening with perspiration. Too wet and it won't work. Your skin should also be very warm. I use mine in the shower. I have a ceramic heater I turn on before I get in (personal preference, I chill easily) so I don't get cold when the water is off while I'm exfoliating. I also use a soap without added moisturizers (black african works for me) to wash off all the creams, lotions & potions before exfoliating. They can cause a "slip" to the skin which is undesirable. This was a great investment. Excellent results. When I first got mine, their site explained that the skin should be moist.

I'm really sorry. It seems that I can't help you. See, I only have used it in my armpits. I applied it before I go to sleep and clean it right after I wake up. And let me tell you it has helped me tremendously. I sweat alright but no excessively I used to but not now. That's all that I can say. Sorry for not being more helpful.

a minute at most, but then I live in Las Vegas where the humidity is very low. Also depends on how damp/wet my face is as it must be applied when your skin is damp.
