SPANX Slim Cognito Body Shaping Camisole 210 Reviews

Very comfortable, good fit, really slimming garment. Will purchase in nude as well. A bit expensive tho. Roberta from Brooklyn

Returned it. It was to tight and hard to get into. I was looking for a smoothing garment that didn't flatten me but this was not it. The bust was ok in terms of not squishing too badly but overall I just detest the camisoles that are so tight . This one was supposed to be lighter control but it was very firm control instead. I ordered a small which is the size I always wear. Alice from Salt Lake City, Utah

Most unhappy with this item. It did not stay in place and rolled up to my waise both times I wore it. After laundering, it pilled up and looked like a garment that had been worn and laundered for years. I was told I cannot return the item because it was more than 30 days since the date of purchase, has been laundered and the tags were removed. For the price ($74), certainly not a good purchase.

I wear only camisoles, and this is the first one that supports a D cup without flattening, while comfortably smoothing my torso. I love that the under wire is removable, and even without it there's very good support without a "loaf of boob." My only complaint is that it runs a bit long; however, it does stay in place. Joni

Initially, when I put this on, I loved it; thought it very comfortable. But when I wore it to work under a dress, it constantly rolled up to my waist - very annoying, and uncomfortable. I tried it with pants, which was better, but it still creeped up. I have a Sassybax camisole, which I love - I just wanted one with adjustable straps. I plan to return the Spanx garment - too expensive for all the hassle! I would not recommend the camisole to anyone.

HerRoom Response: It sounds like you need the larger size. If a compression garment keeps rolling up, this is a sign that it's too small. Doreen from Auburn, MA, USA

This is a nice camisole except that it should be a little longer. It cuts in at the hips and rolls up unless you put your shapewear panties over it. Wilma from Victorville, CA

Garment was so tight in the torso that I couldn't breathe when I had it on...if I ever got it on. I was sweating bullets by the time I got it over my stomache. Maybe me, but they need to make one that isn't tight in the torso. L from Birmingham AL

The bottom of the cami wants to roll up and I am constantly pulling it back down. When it is in place it feels great, but because of the not staying in place I don't think it was worth the big price tag. I would not buy another one. Latraca from Doniphan MO

I initially loved this garment but the bottom started to ride up after a few washes so that I now must tuck it into jeans or pants in order to ensure it doesn't ride up to my middle. I now prefer Sassybax tops, as they have a better quality, stay put, and do the job of keep you smooth. KM from San Francisco, CA

First I ordered the medium, but when it arrived, I could not even get it on. I returned it for a large. I love it. It holds you in without feeling tight. It's totally comfortable and just smooths you out so you don't see any rolls in the back area. To the person who said there is too much movement in the bust area, I wear it over my bra and I think that would solve her problem. Also, it does not roll up if you are wearing pants over it, but I think it might if you were wearing a dress when you sit down. NYmom from Queens, NY

I loved how I looked in the cami....BUT, the material on the bust allowed for too much movement, I looked fantastic..as long as I stood still...the material allowed for way too much movement in the bust!! BJ from Chicago,IL

It has good support for the bust. It does shape you well but material is rather heavy so really not good to wear on really hot days. It stayed put for about 5 hr but then it did roll up. So that is reason for 4 stars. marg from Illinois

Does everything I want! Creates the form I want without feeling as if I'm wearing a heavy old time garment. It's not for casual wear, as it's heavier than most of the others I wear, but it works for those special occasions when a little extra oomph is required. Karen from Santa Fe, NM

This is a great tummy shaper! It does not ride up and the underwire support makes it so you don't need to wear a bra underneath. I gave it 4 stars because it is so expensive and it's not very breathable, making it a bit sweaty on hot days. Unlisted from USA

The Cognito Body Shaping Cami was okay but not for the price. I found that after a few hours wearing it the bottom rolled up to my waist which was alright since I was wearing slacks but not sure it would be a good thing with a dress. It did however feel that helped control the rolls around my middle. LSB from USA

I love my new Cami! This tells it all: After work the first time I wore it, I was changing out of my work clothes and talking to my husband. When he saw the cami, he said "oh, that explains it" and I asked him what he meant. His response was "I thought you looked slimmer all over, but I couldn't figure out why - now I know". Who could ask for more than that? Linda from South Webster, Ohio
