Answer 1

I use the stand up beds and they are awesome! You dont have to worry with flippin over and all that mess! I tried the stand up bed last summer and I will never go back to twisting and turning to get an even tan! Girl, try the stand up bed i promise you will like it!!! Good luck!

Answer 2

If you stand up, be prepared to hold your arms up for the entire time, unless you want a white line on both of your sides.

I know some people who think you get a better tan standing up, others don't like falling asleep in the beds.

I always go in a regular bed, and every 4 mins I rotate so that all 4 sides have been exposed to all the rays.

You may want to consider a bronzing accelerator in the beds, it can get you faster results.

Answer 3

I worked in a tanning salon for years and we always recommended the stand-up bed because the bulbs were brighter (read: more dangerous) and more expensive. But you don't tan as well on your legs. What we recommended was to use the normal lay down beds most of the time, but to use the stand-up once or twice a week.

However, they are coming out with research now that suggests tanning beds are even more dangerous for you than tanning in the sun. I would be careful and use a product to keep your skin hydrated.

Answer 4

I used to tan in the beds all the time...
UNTIL I worked for a dermatologist and saw hundreds (just in one town) get skin cancers cut and burned off of their faces and bodies. Buy a self tanner.

Answer 5

i used to do stand up tanning and the only downfall from that is it's obnoxious to have to stand there holding your arms up for long amounts of time. also your legs don't tan. my friends and i all started doing it and none of our legs tanned. i am not sure why.i prefer the lay down beds. i like to relax when i am tanning just lay there and listen to music. not have to stand up with my arms in the air

Answer 6

I hate stand up beds because I am lazy. If I go for a while I like to fall asleep.

Answer 7

I prefer the stand up. The bulbs get you from every angle and there are hand grasps up on each side to hang onto.

Answer 8

tanning is horrible for you! i know you probally heard this a million times but you can get skin cancer, just for tanning to look good! try a professional spray tan! you'll look just as good and your helping your skin. also you'll get horrible wrinkles if you keep on tanning, and when your like 40 you'll look so washed out and your skin will look gross! who wants that? and its also like being in the sun for 8 hours. yikes! :)

Answer 9
