Pros

• Tones

  Cami Hot by Hot Shapers are garments designed to make you sweat more while you wear it so that you can flatten your fat, tone your body, and lose weight. The neotex technology is comprised of three layers which are meant to promote sweating, absorb the moisture, and let your sweat evaporate. Claims made by the company state that the sweat is not noticeable while you wear this top under your clothes.

• Comfortable

  It is comfortable, given that it is designed with neotex.

• Men and Women

  They make versions for men and women.

• Reviews

  The customer reviews are positive, with the website naturally posting the most supportive of feedback. This constitutes a positive feature, because it lends credence to the question whether this works. However, it should be taken with a grain of salt.

Cons

• Sweaty

  It is claimed that you can wear these weight loss tops during any activity, be it exercise, going out, or running errands. The idea is that you are able to stay toned insofar as the clothing holds in the shape you want, whenever you are out. Additionally you are able to lose weight by excessive sweating. One issue for concern here is that if it works as it claims to do, you are going to be sweating heavily all the time. This might not be visible, but the odor will be there.

• Expensive

  When you opt in on this deal you have to pay twenty dollars and ad additional thirty dollars in shipping and handling. Unfortunately, the exorbitant prices do not stop there. Customers are charged an additional rate of thirty dollars for the next three months, so that the total cost comes to one hundred and forty plus the thirty in shipping and handling. If you decide to purchase a second unit, you have to pay another fifty dollars. In addition to this, they charge sales tax for all Florida based orders.

• Not Found in Stores

  The offer is not available in stores. Unfortunately this means that the price for shipping and handling is not avoidable. What’s more, because you cannot purchase it in stores, you are stuck with the long delivery time and the difficult return process should you choose not to use the sweat inducing tops.

• No Medical Approval

  This clothing item has not been subject to things like FDA approval, or medical approval. There are no known certifications or proper approvals given by medical professionals of any kind. This calls into question the legality, health aspects, and safety of the sweat inducing tops. Without such credentials or support, there is no way to gauge how this sweat inducing top actually works on a biological level. There is no way to gauge whether it is safe and healthy, and whether it should be mass marketed. Having no proper medical reviews or even feedback / quotes from doctors who have used it or tested it, one should exercise ( no pun intended ) caution. Caution should be exercised when considering such a potentially unsafe method of fitness/weight loss.

Warnings

• Not Safe

  This weight loss top is insufficient alone for a healthier life or weight loss. While it does have positive benefits associated with its wear, no user should rely on this product solely. The body’s constitution is mostly water. What most people fail to recognize is that products like this one, body wraps, or things like steams, are all designed to leach water from the body. Results are, of course, real, insofar as weight is concerned. When water is leached from the body, water weight is subsequently lost. As water is lost though, people might incorrectly believe they have lost “weight”, which they think is “fat”. Reality is that water alone has been lost, often through heavier sweating, which means the body will need to replenish itself said lost water. People using such things are often left dehydrated, with a slight headache, because they need more water. Consuming more water, a necessity, will bring back the weight lost by wearing this clothing or others like it.
  Additionally, exercise and proper diet are keys to real weight loss. Losing fat is only done by way of better physical fitness and healthier diet. Even if you decide to wear this clothing in tandem with a diet and exercise, remember that such a change must be long term. You must make the choice to convert this into a lifestyle change, one which you do all the time. No short cuts exist to healthy bodies and weight loss. Users need to do things the medically acceptable way and focus on long term lifestyle changes. Should you choose, again, to wear this weight loss top, do so as part of a long term change in your lifestyle geared toward better health. Said weight loss top should not be worn, however, until you have carefully looked over the instruction manual, decided on better exercises to create for yourself, and spoken with a doctor. The website emphasizes this too, suggesting that all users consult their doctor before they try this. Should anyone wearing this clothing item experience discomfort, or challenges with their diet or exercise, it should be taken off immediately. Doctors should be consulted immediately too. This company would like to highlight that the information they have provided on their site and their clothing item is not meant to help anyone prevent or treat diseases or medical conditions. They also emphasize that it is not meant to be a substitute for proper medical advice.

Critical Advice

The product claims to make you sweat more, in places where you need it most. However, there is no evidence at all that sweating from specific areas causes you to target fat or weight loss in that area. The company claims that the structure of the male versus female units are designed to target the areas where males versus females want to target fat. However, again, this is not scientific at all and in fact, quite inaccurate.

Alternatives

• Toning Alternatives

  Much like a corset, this item flattens, adds a natural shape, and helps to hold that shape for the wearer. A corset, however, would be a cheaper investment and one which is much safer. There are also under clothing pieces for men and women designed to help hold fat while flattening it, naturally shaping it too. These things work similarly to the toning aspects of this item but for less.
