Review:

I always want to lose weight but I am lazy and love to eat. I am not in the overweight range, but I have some extra fat in my body, I do not have a beautiful body and I hate exercising. So, I bought this Body Slimming Massager from eBay to test it out. I bought it on 10 July from a ShenZhen, China seller (toplcbsales) for USD $6.67 with free standard shipping and I received it on 15 August, about 5 weeks.

Though I am not sure about the fat burning function as I have no idea how to test that but this electronic pulse massager is quite good for relieving stiffness in muscles and can be quite relaxing. If you have super tense muscles from a hard day at work, it would be nice to end the day with a massage and Body Slimming Massager Y-1018 will be a good affordable massager to have at home. It is very comforting when you need some relief.

It can be used in many areas in your body, including arms, neck and shoulders, back, low back, legs, feet, joints etc. In a Nutshell, it is intended to be used as a massager to relieve (muscle) pain, stiffness, fatigue and improve blood circulation and body function. The massaging effect is achieved by electronic stimulation of the nerves through electrode pads placed on the skin. Various massage treatment programs can be selected.

I placed all 4 electrodes on my stiff shoulder and ran it for the 15 minutes. The small electrical pulses are transmitted to the body, like little electric shocks. The stiffness in my shoulders had loosened after the treatment and I am very satisfied with it. Although there is not much robust proof that this massager works, I do find it very helpful and I think it is a good deal for the money.

3. Insert the battery and make sure that the (+) and (-) polarities match the diagram indicated at the back of the unit. Slide the battery cover completely shut.

Preparing and setting the electrodes:

1. Correctly connect the electrode cord to the electrode pads
2. Insert the plug of the electrode cord into the unit’s electrode jack.
3. Peel off the film from the electrode pads.
4. Use a damp towel to wipe the area of skin on which you will be affixing the pads to remove any oil, cosmetic or dirt.
5. Should the electrode pads be soiled, both their adhesiveness and the number of times of possible use will be reduced.
6. Apply the electrode pads to the area of the body you wish to massage. The unit cannot operate unless both pads from at least one channel are applied.

Caution:

1. Please remove batteries if product is not use for a long time.
2. Never apply the electrode pads to your skin with the power supply on. Doing so may result in sudden shock.

Intensity:

The intensity of the stimulation is felt differently by each individual and also will vary with physical conditions. The strength of the batteries and the conditions of the electrodes also play a role. Therefore, adjust the intensity control button to a position you feel most comfortable.

Caution:

Do not assume that by increasing the intensity of the stimulation that there will be a stronger effect. This may very well not be the case. However, it is possible that excessive stimulation to the skin will result in irritation or red eruption.

Time:

A standard amount of use per area is 10-15 minutes. A single treatment should not exceed 30 minutes.

Number:

A standard number of use per day is 1-2 for approximately the first week when first starting out. There may be some people who feel fatigue. In this case, lower the intensity shorten the time and limit the number of uses to once a day.

Problem check and remedy

No stimulation at all:

1. Are the pads and the cord connected properly? Check the connection to make sure it is correct.
2. Are the electrodes set properly? See before instructions on how to set them properly.
3. Have the batteries run down? If so, replace them with new ones.
4. Are the batteries installed properly? See before instructions on how to insert them properly.

The display and treatment mode light up but there is no stimulation:

1. Are the electrode set properly? The power to the connected channel automatically turns off approximately 5 seconds if one of the two electrode pads is removed from the skin. Therefore, set them closely to your skin.
2. The intensity level is at what position? Press on the intensity control button and stop at a point where there is moderate stimulation.
3. Are the electrode pads overlapping? Affix the pads so that they do not overlap in anyway.

Weak stimulation:

1. Are the electrode pads overlapping? Affix the pads so that they do not overlap in anyway.
2. Are the pads and the cord connected properly? Check the connections to make sure they are correct.
3. Are the electrodes set properly? See before instructions on how to set them properly.

Neither the display nor the treatment mode lights up when the power is turn on:

1. Have the batteries run down? When the batteries run down, the unit automatically turns off. Replace the batteries with new ones.
2. Are the batteries correctly installed? See before instructions on how to insert them properly.

Skin turns red:

1. Is the massage time too long? Limit your massage time to 10-15 minutes.
