I only used this product one time and not for the full 50 min. It burned blisters on my stomach. I would be interested in joining the class action mentioned by other people in their comments. But their email address are not posted I bought this [] so only paid $34.95 but that is still more than it is worth.

I couldn't wait to get this product. When it arrived it was cheaply packaged and had no contact for comments or returns. Yes, I used it. Did I lose any inches? No. Did I get burned? Yes, on my waist and in my wallet. It's amazing that the actors demonstrating this product are so fit and trim. My advice.....stick to a healthy diet and workout.

A part of me is disappointed to have found this site, because I kept thinking I was doing something wrong....But, no, it never shut off, no sweat, just burns...

Please do not buy the Velform Sauna Belt; it's a scam! The belt does not make you sweat at all; it merely gets warm and leaves your skin red. And as far as losing an inch - impossible. I tried the sauna belt in several positions over several hours, on the highest setting without any result at all. I can't believe I fell for this.

I received my Sauna belt and was very excited to try it. I followed the instructions and tried it three nights in a row. It did nothing but burnt a hole in my stomach and I have burns all on my right side only. When I took it off the third night my daughter said, mom look at your stomach. When I say it burnt a hole in my skin, I mean it burnt a hole. I have taken picture of my stomach and today was able to wear a pair of non-elastic pants. I did not feel it burning and it only burnt on one side, not the entire stomach. Obviously there is something wrong and I want just compensation. I will be writing to my Attorney General and forwarding the picture. I pray in the meantime I get no infection in the hole. I cannot locate where to send a complaint or forward the pictures, etc. Please advise. Thank you for your time and trouble. Andrea

We bought this product like hundreds of others trying to lose there midsection or where not and I will say I have sweat but I have burned and get red myself. The problem here is also the switch does not go off on it's own and tonight my husband was using it and the switch wouldn't turn for him and it blew a spark. Well to say this is and can be dangerous. I will and am going to return it. If there is others out there that had a spark to it and had this problem speak up. The more people we have here we can do something. Thanks

This product does not work. I did not sweat at all, but I did get red, and the automatic shut off does not work either. The Sauna Belt can be dangerous because it gets too hot and can burn your skin if you are not careful. If anyone wants to file class action suit contact me PLEASE. []@yahoo.com

I just received my velform sauna belt. I was excited to use this to help on my midsection. I wore it as instructed for 50 minutes and not only did I get burnt, and there was no sweat, but the unit never shut off on its own! I now have burns on my skin and no one to file a complaint with! The instruction manual says its warranted for 2 years, but has no contact number!!! So now its on to my credit card company to help on this matter. I will try the numbers on the previous complaints for some assistance. But i must say......don't buy!!

After waiting for weeks to receive the belt I called customer service. They told me that I could cancel the order or have it resent. I told them to cancel and thankfully my credit card was credited!! But the belt arrived at my door 2 weeks later. I can't believe how cheap the packaging and instructions are. I tried it on because like everyone else, I thought this would be a great way to get rid of my stomach pooch. The Sauna belt did NOTHING--not a thing. It didn't even heat up enough to burn my skin like others have gone through. What a total scam and the infomercial is full of lies. How can they get away with this?? I called Customer service to try and return this piece of junk (because I had been credited) the CS agent told me to throw it out and not bother returning it.

Was praying for an answer to losing my belly fat, and saw the tv commercial and gullably thought that this must be an answer to my prayer. Ordered it quickly and just couldn't wait to receive it. I have used it several times and am greatly dissapointed. It just gets hot, but not as hot as a normal heating pad, and I have never once sweated! I want my money back.

Do Not Buy This Worthless Thing!! As everyone else is saying, its a heating pad and thats about it. I luckily got mine on ebay so I didnt pay full price($80) like a lot have. I placed the belt on laying down, had a cup of hot tea, left it on for approx 50 minutes(60 actually) and never sweated a bit. I did have 2 burns though on either side of my abdomen. Overall dont waste your money...Hey,anyone want to buy a new velform sauna belt??? LOL

To all who have purchased the Velform Sauna Belt, I am sorry that you were deceived like me. The product claims to help you sweat away unwanted inches and pounds by wearing it up to 50 minutes. I followed the enclosed instructions, checked after 5 minutes ( as they suggest) continued to wear it for an additional 45 minutes, and the only outcome I had was a red and unsweaty stomach. The redness lasted for 3 days, and the measurement around my waist after was no different than before. I did contact customer service at 1(800)835-2080. I was given a return address: Fulfillment #136, 6960 East Gate Blvd. Lebanon, TN. 37088. You need to call and receive an RMA number to place in the lower left corner of your return package to receive your refund. They do not refund the shipping and handling.

oh my gosh every bad thing you here about the velform sauna belt is true. It's nothing but a large heating pad that gives you second degree burns. Luckily I only paid 12 bucks for it on ebay but I am still seriously pissed about even spending so little on a piece of crap product.

I am so glad to see that I am not the only one that got taken by this product. Not that I am happy that others did but, I felt as if I had done something wrong. I had the same experiences as everyone else. It just makes your skin red, no sweat, no calories burnt off, nothing. A total lose. I hope that someone can find a way to do something about this. I too have tried to return my product. No phone calls or emails to the company have been a success. I am unsure of what else to do other that realize that the $80 I spent was a waste.

This product is worthless! Nothing more than a heating pad at 3 times the price! It burned my skin and did nothing else. I returned it to the manufacturer and they refused delivery! They sent it back to me! This is a ripoff, avoid this product at all costs.

This product is worthless. Blatent false advertising. The consumer is led to believe there has to be a battery pack, when you see people doing cartwheels etc, while wearing it. I called the customer service number and asked how could somehone be out in their backyard in a lounge chair, and was told they use an extension cord. There is no extension cord on the infomercial. I think a class action law suit should be filed against this company. I am going to phone the customer service number back and tell them I am Amish and do not use electricity, so I want my money back. Customer Service # 877-835-2080. I urge all of you to bombard them with phone calls. From posts I read about this product on another site, you will have no luck getting your money back.

I recently bought the belt off the internet for $46.00. My experience was nothing like the infomercial. I used it for a week and never broke a swet. I even drank hot tea while wearing the belt. Yes I was upset to find that the device was not coardless. This is truly a heating pad. I have red marks from on my abdomen from it burnig me. Everyone no matter where this product was purched should be compensated.
