Slim Away Belt. Come On, Really?
Welcome & Thanks for Visiting UndershirtGuy.com!
The Slim Away Belt (As Seen on TV). There’s no way this thing works.
7/12/12 Update: Slim Away Product Review (Click Here)
– original article –
Just had to post a quick comment here about the Slim Away Belt commercial I keep seeing. In the process, I also hope to help consumers who would otherwise be duped into buying this wacky contraption.
Although I’ve never personally tried the Slim Away Belt, I’ve tried nearly every slimming undershirt on the market, and I used to wear those crazy rubber slimming tube belts when I was a chunky little kid. So, I’d consider myself a bit of a consumer expert when it comes to slimming products.
I’ve gotta tell you, there’s very little chance that this product will live up to any expectations you may have after watching this product’s outrageous marketing claims.
Also, look at that crazy wrap-around belt design with a bunch of different zipper-ridden sizing positions. Is there anyway that belt won’t show through your outer clothes? Not a chance. Oh, well maybe if you wear a heavy sweater like the folks in the commercial.
Here are some other claims shown in the product video:
- Evapo-wrap fabric: Seals in body heat
- Elevates perspiration
- Shed water weight faster
Guess what? If you wear any rubberized contraption around your midsection, it’ll likely help you shed water weight (when you’re working out only). If you really want to shed water weight (not healthy by the way) pick up one of those plastic sweat suits.
If you really want to appear thinner temporarily, don’t waste your money on the Slim Away Belt. Instead, check out a Slimming Undershirt or Compression Shirt instead. I guarantee you will be 1,000,000% happier with a slimming undershirt than you will with the Slim Away Belt.
Consider yourself informed (and warned). A friendly public service announcement from your neighborhood undershirt guy.

I bought slim away today and its on the very last zipper hopefully it will work for me. I need to lose my pooch from 2 babies.
good luck jamie! my guess is that it’ll help you shed some excess water weight, but i’m not sure if it’ll help you lose weight permanently.
keep me posted though, i’d love to hear how things work out for you!
Just bought one and will try it. But I must say I don’t feel too excited about it. I should of opened the box in the store. I would of realized that it is similar but not as quite good as a normal Weight Belt. 1. The zippers stick out and show under everything. WB has Velcro and you can pull it as snug as you want and the Velcro sticks very well without coming loose so you don’t see anything under your clothes.
2.I got the smallest they have and im using the last zipper and the belt is still too big.
3. It is the same material as WB (so I am sure it does the same thing as a weight belt) which means you cannot just sit around in it for it to work. I had to work out hard and ride my bike for hours to sweat enough to loose weight and make a difference. 4. It costs almost twice as much as WB.
So overall review..don’t by it. Go to your nearest wal-mart and buy a weight belt you can get one for about five bucks.
Since I bought is I will use it to see if there is seriously anything dif. and if there is I will come back.
thanks for the details and honest feedback christie!
i’m certain the information you’ve shared will help folks considering to purchase a slim away belt.
I currently use it, & it works for me after having a baby and mommy tummy, really seems to be helping love handles as well.
right on paris! thanks for sharing. i’m going to keep wearing mine during working out to see if helps reduce my love handles. so far though, i haven’t noticed anything permanent.
