It depends on how often you use it. If you follow the recommended usage, then about one month.Personally, I stopped using it years ago. I bought into the hype of the belt being a be all, end all. The belt WILL NOT melt fat around the areas of the body that you want. The idea of electronically zapping fat from your body is funny at best. A person will get the same result by sticking their finger into a wall socket.Sorry, but the slender tone belt is just more snake oil. To achieve any desired effect, eating healthier and exercising more is the only way to achieve results. It depends on how often you use it.

One month in and the original set is fine. They are sticky, so make sure your skin is clean or detrtius will accumulate.

It depends on which setting you use. They really are only good for a night or two. Having said that, I refill the pads myself with 4 drops of eucalyptus essential oil and they will last indefinitely.

One pad is good for 4 hours. It turns from blue to white so you know it's done.

Sorry, I've never had or used other gel pads, so I'm not qualified to answer! Ours seem to stay cool, though.

I did not have an expiration date on the ones I ordered. It has been over a month and the gel is still working.

Even with the tape, they won't stay put after a shower. I usually take the pads off when I shower and put them back on after I am completely dry. You can wash them with soap and water every few days to "reactivate" the adhesive (it's a bit tricky because they tend to curl up). I get about 4-5 days of use before throwing them away.

Yes! My elderly Mother has been using this gel pad for 2 years. It was a great deal.

I bought mine about a year ago and the pads are still going strong! The device comes with two pads; just need to wash and air dry at least once per month or more often depending on soil levels. Hope this helps!

I use the blue pack of pads and they work very well. I am a frequent visitor to the potty and I have used these for about 3 years.

They last as long as you take care of them- I clean them out with 2 qtips and water to make sure all gel is gone and rinse and store in case.

All the pads I've seen (both those that came with the unit as well as refills) have expiration dates.

If you like the pad with much gel, this is good one. After using, carefully remove it and your skin look clean. the gel lasts several months of usage with me. I always rinse it under tape water and let it dry about 30 seconds then cover it with attached plastic (when it's still moist).

It all depends how often you use it. I'm currently using the original pads and I use it weekly . It just needs washing and it's good as new .

Hello!These pads just come by themselves, already sticky. They usually last for around a few months with me. If they start not sticking, all you have to do is rinse the pad underneath cold water, and let them air dry. They will be really sticky again.They will wear out eventually, but this method works for a long time. =)

I spray the resistance pads with WD-40. The pads also last longer that way. My 2 cents.

I believe they are supposed to last for one year. I have been using mine for over 6 months now and it has barely changed in size.

I never cleaned or replaced them and used it for about four months fairly hard. I did not need it any more and sold it to a friend who uses it and still works great with origanl pads. It is a great product and would suggest it.
