Cami Secret: A Cloth to Cover Up Your Cleavage
March 1st, 2010 Paul Lucas
Have you ever thought about how tough life must be for your neighborhood tramp? She loves to flash her cleavage at bars, nightclubs, bus stops and 7-11s. But around the office, such blatant display of booby-flesh gets disapproval from superiors, as well as causing female co-workers to gossip about the office hoochie. (Of course they’re all just jealous because they don’t have such a great bustline!) She could bring a change of clothes, but that gets cumbersome to lug around everyday.
You may have never thought about this dilemma faced by floozies everywhere, but fortunately the makers of the Cami Secret have.
That is truly a genius marketing angle to sell a small piece of fabric!
I never would have thought the commercial for this product would include a cutesy rhyme in the tradition of the Snuggie:
You love the low-cut top for going out at night,
But in the office it’s just not right.
You’ve tried safety pins but they leave holes and just look wrong.
And with a camisole you end up tugging and adjusting all day long!
If the Cami Secret infomercial has left you rubbing your eyes in disbelief, I assure you that this is a real ad for a real product you can buy at www.CamiSecret.com
The woman in this infomercial does have an amazing rack!
But I guess Cami Secret would give even more protection for women who stuff the Secret Keeper in their bras.

If you use a safety pin RIGHT then it works perfectly well.

They should make one of these for plumber’s crack…. the CRACK CAMI!!
You love low cut jeans, but when you bend down,
You flash your crack to everyone in town,
Now there’s the Crack Cami, a cami for your ass crack!

Wow, it’s like granny panties for your chest.

*shakes head* That even SOUNDS like the woman from the Snuggie commercial -_-
Take it from a girl with a D cup, wearing certain shirts can make you self conscious in public, but wearing a jacket, or just wearing a DECENT shirt will solve that problem immediately.
And safety pins DO work if your capable of using your brain to use them

I actually ended up seeing this in an as seen on tv store when i was tryin to find something to put under a prom dress that was a little to low. all they do is end up making your bra be a choke machine. and theres no way to anchor the bottom so if you bend over its even more obvious then just pinning.

Ye Gods! $10 for a doily to attach to your bra?
This makes the Flowbee look like well thought-out genius.
BTW, what happens if a bra strap breaks? Will only one boob fall out then?
I will trust the ladies who posted here that say a simple safety pin will do the same trick.

I think this is a great idea! I wear tank tops under all my shirts, but they are really inconvenient, bunch up, and slip down so my boobs and hanging out anyway. I’m a very petite girl with large boobs, and I think I will definitely be trying this product to see if it works for me. I have just never come across a tank top that really works or that I’ve been satisfied with.

I have always had a large chest - hereditary. In my shopping experience,many women’s clothes, especially dress clothes, have a V neck which shows cleavage. I guess that’s normal in today’s world, but not for me. I can’t stand someone looking at my chest and not in my eyes. I have many tank tops which I wear under my clothes, but it’s true they are bulky and uncomfortable. I wear size 8-10 clothes so I am not overweight, and really thinking about trying this product. Safety pins are an incredible pain and they do leave holes in your fabric and hard to place so they don’t show. Wearing a jacket or full shirt in hot summer weather is not an option for me. Hopefully this product will help so I can wear whatever shirt I want.

IT the SHIPPING that cost… 14 bucks for $2 worth of nappy.. I will pass!

Yes, it takes skill and time to get a safety pinned top to look as if it’s staying closed by magic rather than a safety pin. There are fabrics just wouldn’t lay or look right with a full tank or cami underneath. Some of us can’t stand the warmth of layers anyway; never knowing when a “power surge” will come along.
When these are in a store and I can see them first and buy without shipping charges, I might give them a try. This is not a new idea, and not much different than dresses with front modesty panels that button on. I just googled and found better quality items in a variety of fabrics and sizes.
This product might be ok; If you can get past the poorly made infomercial.

Two words- FASHION TAPE
It’s double sided tape used by fashion models to make clothes stay put and fit so they can get fashion shots of clothes that fit perfectly.

I think it might not be a bad idea. I seem to be wearing tanks and camis under everything lately………too low cut. If I left every shirt in the store than hung a little too for my taste……I wouldn’t buy anything but turtle necks and sweats theses days. It is something that I just noticed recently. Granted, I am pretty short, but I never had this problem so often before. Two layers of clothing annoys me sometime.

Depending upon the cut of a garment and the shape of a woman, safety pins aren’t the answer in many cases. Too many garments now are cut ridiculously low. Wearing extra layering just to be able to wear the new top you bought and still be decent is utterly horrible when you are in hot climates or just tend to get hot. I’m not convinced this Cami Secret will work nicely but it is exactly what I was designing for myself so that I could wear new clothing at work and be decent. In this day, the price is actually good (try buying the fabric and pieces for less). There are many horrible products out there but for many of us, this is a perfectly GOOD product.

I seem to be in a minority. I think this is a great idea. It’s difficult to find tops these days that are office appropriate or that don’t look like your grandmothers. Often I have to wear a tee shirt under my work tops to conceal everything…I work with 3rd graders; but the tee shirts get hot by mid morning. I plan to check out some reviews from others who have bought this, but I’ll probably give it a try.

Couldn’t tell if that infomercial was a joke or not?? (Is this a G-String?)I did end up searching the internet after seeing this,as I liked the concept,and stumbled upon something classy called a Camiband, which I feel more confident buying.

I have a tatoo across my chest. I’m wondering will this work?
Comment by myisha — July 20th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
For years I have been using a very similar product and have been looking for new ones since mine are about 10 years old. These are perfect!!! for the office or going out when you don’t want to flash the girls, it’s a perfect option. I too can’t stand the added layer and this makes outfits look professional or just classy! I’m happy to see this product!!!!

I saw clip on camis in a variety of colors on ebay.

Finally something for breast cancer survivors. And there are many. So women think before you make comments.

I’m trying Cami Secret because I like the idea of it. Sure, it’s a small piece of fabric and any sewing-inclined person can do it themselves. I’m a bit apprehensive about the choking feeling or having the bottom lift when bending over. Some of my tops look fine standing up, but it’s bending over that needs the coverage, and if it were to flop around bending over, then there’s no point.
For the blogger, the point of the cami secret is to NOT be the “office hoochie” because they would not be getting this. It’s for people who like to be modest. But, hey, got it flaunt it, dont be ashamed because it’s just a body and we all have them!
Me, I dont have a cleavage. What’s to show? For years I’ve been avoiding buying the cutest tops because of the low cut line. And for the ones I do buy, I wore a cami under. Commercial’s right, tugging and pulling everywhere. I have to tuck it in, deal with straps and bulkiness in every other area, just to cover a small triangular space. Usually, commercials REALLY exaggerate and I just roll my eyes, but this one was not far off from the truth. That said, I will also look into other products.
