I was a little weirded out by the idea of this. I mean, I’m not at all opposed to poisoning my body with leftover Halloween candy, but intentionally zapping my muscles to relax them just seemed crazy and weird. But, I tried it. And let me tell ya – the only play this machine will be getting in this house is from me. There is no possible way Paul could use it – the pads are the stickiest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Naturally. I mean, they have to stay on your body! Your hairless body. Persons with body hair need to steer clear of this thing.

But, I used it, and I think it works. It didn’t really come naturally to me, but I figured it out. I tried it on my lower back, where I have 99% of my debilitating back pain. It felt kind of creepy. Not in a bad way, just like, WHOA! Okay, I guess it’s supposed to feel like that. Carry on. And afterward, I felt pretty good. There are little pre-programmed uh, programs you can cycle through with a hand-held button thingy, like the massage chairs at the pedicure salons. It’s easy to use.

And hey, Christmas is coming! You probably know someone who likes stuff like this a lot, I’ll bet. Possibly someone really into fitness, or gadgetry. Check out the Slendertone site for the EnerVive and other cool products. And, a big thanks to Role Mommy for sending this thing to me to review!
