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).

The belt is flexible. So, if you were to hold your fingers on the edges of the belt and squeeze, it bends fairly easily.

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.

The belt closure is simply an open loop that you feed the belt through. Frankly I didn't like the belt loop attachment and cut it off. I mounted a T lock from Blade Tech onto mine and it works far better.

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.

Mine goes then stops like the belt is slipping. Tried adjusting but did no good. Any ideas? Only used three times now.

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.

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

All belts really do the same thing they help but won't completely "save" you from back pain it all comes down to form keep your abs pressing on the front and your back tight head up this belt won't fail you... I use it overtime i squat and deadlift

In a way it does because you set the tension when you put this on the belt. Tension is what causes safety though.

There is no magic cure for the ridding of tummy fat other that taking in less calories than you burn. If one rids oneself of this superficial fat layer, than I believe the belt may help to increase muscle tone and may help to define your abdominal muscles a bit better..

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.

No. When I wear a belt wider then 1 inch I clip the holster to my pants close to a belt loop. Seems to work fine and I've never had a problem.

As far as I am concerned, belts don't "help" squat, but prevent injury. Say your max is actually 200lbs. Doing it without belt, you have 60% chance of injuring your lower back. With belt, 10%. Then you probably wouldn't try 200lbs when training without belt, and assume your max is only 180lbs. Yet in fact your strength is more than that. Thus, a belt can "add" 20lbs to your max.

Not typically, I understand it to be more for aiding in holding the belly up against gravity...ie while standing. Plus you don't want to wear it 24/7, you don't want to have the belt compressing the same area for that many hours on end.

I use this belt to support my abdomen and back, and it is great for that. I see no indication that it will help with serious weight loss; I do sweat somewhat when wearing it, but do not lose weight. Doubt it would help with weight loss.
