Don’t Fall for the Velform Sauna Belt

If the idea of building a full-sized sauna room is too complicated, time-consuming or expensive, then by all means do not fall for the Velform sauna belt as a cheaper alternative. This miracle device is said to remove toxins and help reduce unwanted fat from the abdomen, waist, back and hips. Reviewers for these belts costing anywhere from $40 - $80 plus shipping are not sure if they are a deal or a steal.

Let’s get one thing straight: wearing a Velform belt won’t make you sweat, unless you exercise vigorously while wearing one. Reviews say that these belts “assist” the user in sweating. They are one of those too-good-to-be-true infomercial fitness products that appear on late-night TV and are hawked by fit looking men and women who certainly are not in need of these “sauna” belts. Pushed as an alternate way of losing unwanted pounds without lifting a finger, the Velform belt appeals to people who are too lazy to exercise. Online sauna belt reviews from people who bought this product called the belts “glorified heating pads”.

Other reviews from people who gave in to the infomercials and bought one of these heating pads say that Velform belts actually burned their skin. “Dangerous”, “useless”, “buyer beware”, “rip-off” were some of the words found in reviews by upset buyers of these so-called “saunas”. In any case, we wanted to include a review of this product on our site and hope you will buy a real home sauna someday. Home saunas are easy to build in 2-3 days with precut sauna kits or a pre-built modular sauna kit that assembles in just a few hours.
