... I won't pretend to know whether this device can "tone" your abdominal muscles as claimed. The best I can offer, based on my own experience, is that I personally have never noticed such a result and would not be overly quick to dismiss the efficacy of sit-ups and other strenuous exercises that target the abs.

Since the Slendertone is sold on the basis of cosmetic considerations, and obviously is popular with women (Amazon's sales numbers for the two gender-specific belts suggest females comprise the larger market for the device), the aforementioned information should be taken especially seriously by that particular audience. ...
