The Contour Abs Belt has been around for several years. The Flex Belt has been the main competition. Both belts work by stimulating the contractions of abdominal muscles by issuing electric shocks to the abdomen. Therefore, the muscles will become toned and stronger. We will compare the Contours Abs belt to the Flex Belt. Both of these abs belts have strong points that make them ideal for working the abdominal muscles. However, there is a clear winner after comparing all the features that both belts carry.
The Fit and Usability
The Flex Ab Belt is the smaller and neater option. It fits real snugly around the abdomen giving a comfortable wear. It can also be worn under the clothes discreetly. The Contour Abs Belt is a bit bulkier. It is not possible to wear it under the clothes without detection. The accompanying remote is also too large compared to the remote control of the Flex belt. The remote of the Flex belt can be worn on the belt discreetly. This belt also sports a travel pouch and weighs less than one pound. The Contour Abs Belt is also portable but a little bit more obvious.
Both belts can be used while talking on the phone, watching TV, doing homework and walking. They can be used in almost any casual situation. It is also not necessary to partake in exercise activities while wearing the belts. The abdominal muscles are easily toned by the belts and do not require any other physical activity. The cost of the Flex Abs Belt is $199 along with a $12.95 cost for shipping and handling. The Contour Abs Belt cost $199.80 along with a $14.95 trial cost.
NOTE: We have posted some exclusive Flex Belt Coupon Codes that reduce the price of their belt by 10% or $25. This makes the price difference between the belts negligible.
FDA Clearance and Trials
The Flex Belt has been cleared by the FDA. It is the first Abs Belt of its kind to meet the approval standards set by the FDA. There is no information regarding the Contour Abs Belt found in the FDA database. There are multiple clinical trials that test the effectiveness of the Flex Ab Belt. There was a 6 week clinical trial which resulted in 100% of the participants reporting that their abs felt toned and firm. In another 8 week trial, participants reported that they received an increase of 72% in abdominal endurance. Participants also reported a 42% increase in abdominal strength. The Contour Abs Belt has no published third party clinical trials.
Batteries
The Contour Abs Belt does require the use of 4 AAA batteries. The Flex Belt does not require the use of batteries and is easily rechargeable. The abs belt with a comprehensive power supply is the better option. The electrical convulsions experienced by the Contour Abs belt are a bit more jarring and harsh. The Flex Abs Belt on the other hand delivers smoother electrical convulsions.
Intensity Levels
The Flex belt also comes with 150 levels of intensity. This is basically the level of current intensity that is applied to the abdominal muscles. Higher levels of intensity will result in greater abdominal contractions and workout. This system also boosts 10 training programs. This program basically sets the intermittent function of the electrical pulses. The Contour Abs Belt on the other hand has 100 levels of intensity. Both systems require gel pads to deliver the electrical impulse to the abdominal area.
