About Cami Shaper

Cami Shaper is a type of compression wear which is worn underneath clothing and is designed to give a slimmer, more shapely appearance to the wearer by lifting the bust and shaping the midsection. It has a three-in-one design of bra, camisole, and undergarment.  You put the Cami Shaper on by stepping into it and pulling it over your body.

The Cami Shaper is 95% nylon and 5% spandex, and is machine washable. Each pack of three contains three different colors: black, white, and nude. There are also six different available sizes (S, M, L, XL, 1X, and 2X). The official website, camishaper.com, was registered in 2011 and was active until January 2014 when the domain began forwarding to a page at geniebra.com. As of this February 2015 revision, it appears that camishaper.com is once again the official product website.

How much does Cami Shaper cost?

The Cami Shaper is sold directly on the product website in sets of three (including each of the three different colors) for about $60. Customers can also choose to make 3 payments of $19.99 instead of a single payment. A processing and handling (P&H) fee is also added to orders which is dependent on Zip Code. P&H charges for a test Zip Code within the continental United States came to $19.99.

A state tax is added to orders from CT, NJ, NV, NY, and PA.

Delivery time is estimated to be 7-10 business days.

There is currently a special offer on the Cami Shaper website where consumers can opt into buying 3 sets of Magic Boost Pads which can be used to convert the Cami Shaper into a push-up bra. Opting into buying these 3 sets of Magic Boost Pads will cost purchasers an additional $20.97.

Purchasing Cami Shaper from the product website comes with a 60-Day Money Back Guarantee (minus P&H charges).

Keep in mind that Cami Shaper is also sold in stores such as Walmart and Rite Aid, which makes returning the product much easier, should you decide to try it. Also keep in mind that there are many competing products which you may also want to consider.

We spotted this single Cami Shaper for $19.99 in a local Target store in May 2013.

Our Cami Shaper Reviews

In our research, we’ve encountered rather mixed reviews of this product. Some women have praised it, while others have said they were disappointed based on high expectations due to product advertising. It should also be noted that the “bra” isn’t quite a bra, but merely padded inserts that go into the bust area, similar to a padded one-piece bathing suit.

Our initial estimate in May of 2013 was a 60% dissatisfaction level with the Cami Shaper.

Complaints
Of those who did not like the product, we encountered the following complaints:

• Shaping & Lift – Some women were disappointed with the amount of body shaping or bust lifting.
• Rides Up – A few women told us that the product continually rode up on them, forcing them to adjust it throughout the day. This “riding up” gave an unsightly “bunched up” appearance on the stomach area, which is the opposite of the desired slimming effect.
• Pads – There have been a variety of complaints regarding the pads, such as their size, comfort, and appearance.
• Customer Service – For those who ordered directly from the website, customer service has been reported to be lacking.
• Upselling – If you call directly, they will try to sell you additional products when you order the Cami Shaper.

Google Trends History

The Google Trends graph below show interest in Cami Shaper over time. Interest in the product appears to have peaked in December of 2012. Since then, it seems that interest has largely declined.

Bottom Line

The idea behind the Cami Shaper appears to be better than this product is able to deliver. If you want to try a shaping product such as this, a trip to your local mall may yield plenty of alternatives for comparison. If you do decide to buy the Cami Shaper, we recommend buying it at a local store to make the return process easier, if needed.
