The aforementioned belt can be set to various temperatures. It is thought that manipulating the temperature is beneficial with regard to relieving symptoms of certain ailments. For instance, it is believed by some that a temperature of approximately 86 degrees may help to promote the circulation of one's blood. For pain relief and muscle relaxation, temperatures of one hundred and four degrees are typically recommended.

Waist trimmer belt manufacturers state that device should be worn for a minimum of six consecutive weeks. They then recommend not using the belt for one full week, after which it should be worn for an additional six weeks. Unfortunately, some individuals find that it is not practical to wear the device for that many weeks in a row, making it difficult for them to determine whether or not it is a beneficial activity. Regardless of one's goals, it is always wise to discuss the use of any natural or holistic treatment with a medical professional.
