Ever heard of the disaster called camel toe? Well, maybe you do not know it by its name but we are sure you have come across this frightening thing many times in your life or worse––you have been a victim of it yourself. Camel toe is a situation in which the outline of the labia majora of a woman becomes visible through the clothes. The outline becomes visible particularly when a woman wears tight-fitting apparel. Many times due to some or the other anatomical reasons, the fabric of crotch looks like the forefoot of a camel, which is why it is commonly referred to as camel toe. Many stylists consider the design of the clothes to be a major cause for the camel toe than the size of a woman. It is a major fashion disaster and can put you in a very awkward position publically. Image yourself with a camel toe and everybody staring at it as you walk by. You definitely do not want to carry a camel toe and walk around in public. But the truth is that most of us are a victim of the calamities of a camel toe. It is hard to avoid having one when you put on clothes like shorts, hot pants and tight-fitting jeans. You may wish to look highly fashionable, but the wrong choice of apparels can make you look ridiculous instead, with frights like camel toe. Let us first discuss about the causes of camel toe and then ways to get rid of it. Read on.

Causes Of Camel Toe
- You can get camel toe if you regularly use spandex, as it is a very tight fitting fabric.
- Leggings and tights show off the camel toe distinctively.
- If you use weak fabrics, they can take the shape of camel toe.
- Exercise shorts are very tight fitting and can lead to the formation of camel toe.
- Using swimsuits smaller than your size can also cause the problem of camel toe.
Tips To Prevent Camel Toe
- You can remove camel toe manually, by hooking your thumb to the base of your crotch. Pull the inseam down, by applying pressure on your thumb and index finger. You can even make yourself more comfortable by adjusting the legs of your pants.
- Always wear underwear and be selective about the underpants you choose to wear. Choose the flattering kind of knickers and avoid wearing the high inseam ones.
- A simple solution to avoid the camel toe from appearing is to pull the fabric from the crotch or zipper area.
- In case you are wearing tight fitting jeans, make sure that your waistline sits slightly lower than your hips. Occasionally, you can go to the washroom and pull down the jeans to get rid of your camel toe.
- In case you are already out of your home and then realize that your camel toe is showing off, tie your sweater around your waist, in such a manner that its arms hang in front of your hips. This will hide your camel toe perfectly.
- You should ask your friends to help you in bringing your notice to your crotch area if you get a camel toe. Never fix a camel toe in public because it looks odd to grab your own crotch around people and try to pull your apparel out. Always make use of the bathroom or a private space to fix your camel toe.
- There exists a product in the market with the name of ‘camelflage’ (getting its name from the fact that it helps in camouflaging camel toe). This product was mentioned in the famous Hollywood talk show, hosted by Chelsea Handler, called ‘Chelsea Lately’. It is a great product for fashion conscious females. It is basically a knicker but it is not an ordinary knicker. It is specifically designed to flatten out the lady parts under skin tight clothing. There is an insert that is sewn in the underpants, which lets you enjoy the ‘visual privacy.’ This insert is called ‘patent’ and it is sewn inside the knickers to keep it intact and make you feel secure. There are insert holes inside the knickers to make it more breathable and comfortable as it keeps your knickers dry at all times. These come in the form of thongs, which means that you can wear these with a skin hugging dress as well.
