What does tapering the belt do?

It basically narrows down from 1.5" to 1.25" at both ends of the belt. It gives the belt more of a dress belt appearance, however I wear mine with just about anything... Great belt for me so far.

Tactically, nothing. It's just a different style, some would say more "dressy" and less obviously a utility belt. Which you choose is simply a matter of personal preference.

The belt is narrower (1.25 inches wide) in the front than on the sides and in the back (1.5 inches wide).

Nope. Sounds like it's out of alignment. Use the two allen screws at the back to adjust the belt so it's running straight down the center.

Yes and you put the control in the belt so it can tell what you are doing. Have fun. :-)

it plugs into the back of the machine and you fit the belt comfortably around your waist. When the switch on the back is switched on, then you can use the buttons on the top to turn on the FAR belt, and hit the mode button to switch between low, medium or high heat. You can use this without the ionic detox going, and sometimes I sit a little longer after I'm done with my footbath just because the heat feels so nice.

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.

The belt should be snug enough to where you are able to bend, stretch, or squat. If the belt pops a loose you will probably need to adjust it. Start with outer belt first and then the inner belt. If the belt keeps coming a loose, get a bigger size belt. If overlaps to much, you need a smaller size.Hopes this help."November"

This belt will be a half inch shorter. Still may work as belts stretch over time.

Basically the belt might work for weight reduction,but you have to eat right and exercise. I use mine while doing yard work or running. I like it because it keeps my back warm and creates a sweat this burns calories.

Maybe. This belt is not that comfortable. The edges dig into your sides. I've one done 3, 45's.

It is used to help stabilize your back during certain lifting exercises. This is especially true if you have a weak mid section. Usually these belts are used for exercises such as the deadlift and squat. You can also use it to do weighted pullups or dips by attaching weights to the belt via a rope.

I assume the 24.5" belt is loose and slipping. Here's an important tip. A belt of medium elasticity should stretch between 3% and 5% between the "relaxed" circumference, and the circumference it attains when stretched and on the pulleys. Many belts sold online are too tight. The reason for this is that there's a myth, largely created by TV servicers and often supported by recommendations from a catalog created by the Projector/Recorder Belt Corp., that belts should be tight. If you service turntables and tape recorders, as I have for forty years, you learn that tight belts kill motors. So . . . a 23.6" belt stands a good chance of working as long as it's fairly stretchy.

it depends what you're more comfortable with, because I'm not the average bodybuilder I used to be 315 pounds and I have excess skin I prefer my belt to be tighter, I feel as if it feels better on the core because of it being so tight, granted I only put the belt on when I do 405 on a deadlist.

Yes, it does taper. This is a good size baking dish, attractive. It accommodated a large peach cobbler with a quarter of the bowl left to spare. I like this baking dish.A large peach cobbler with too to spare

I felt the exact same way. I tried lowering the belt lower than the manual recommended and began to feel more in the middle. Also strapping it down tighter and gettign up to the max volts helped. It's not defective, but I don't believe we feel it in our middle abs as much because those are typically stronger than the sides.

I don't think it's tapered enough but not sure. Sorry I couldn't be any more help.

No. It's a slider. From the back, the belt will go into the rear loop that you can see and underneath the holster into a larger loop that is behind the slide. I usually put the belt loop on my jeans between the two on the holster. I lose the sliding functionality of the holster, but it says on my side right where I want it.

I would not recommend this belt, I literally had to tie a knot in the belt, threw it away and bought a different kind. Sorry
