Embarrassed about my camel toe

Unless you are wearing clothes that are too tight or clothes pulled too high I don't think you have a noticibly camel toe and I don't think people are looking. I think this is a body dysmorphia issue.

Really not that strange to be fair. Reviving strange zombie threads is though. How did you even find it?

Strange you feel the need to make a sarcastic comment. Whatever makes you happy I guess

Strange reviving a zombie thread to talk about your camel toe. Whatever makes you happy I guess

Eeeewwwwwwww!!!! Silicon down there? No way! I’d rather show a cameltoe than that.

Anyway, to the OP, don’t worry about it. If it’s physically uncomfortable because your jeans, leggings, whatever ride up, go for larger size clothes. Some leggings show my cameltoe and I’m really not bothered. Honestly, I’m sure you look fine x

I do think it’s a combination of wearing the Lycra heavy jeggings type jeans (not thicker normal denim), then pulling them up higher than they should be (as you have sized up due to tummy issues, pulling up to avoid them falling down).

dresses would be better.

If your jeans are so tight then they must be chafing and probably unhygienic. I suspect you are over thinking this.

I can't imagine you'd have a visible camel toe unless the jeans were pulled up so tight that they were causing you discomfort?

I know people who refer to bunching around the crotch (like the picture below) as “camel toe”. As well as just a prominent mons pubis, though that also gets called a FUPA now. Definitions vary.

It’s really not hard and I think every woman knows what it is…

@Janieforever it’s just really hard to get an actual camel toe (visible outline of the cleft between your labia) wearing jeans - the material is too thick. Obviously you can get a camel toe in leggings or swimwear as the material is much thinner. That’s why people are wondering if OP is being overly self-conscious about it.

I’m struggling why some posters are saying this must be in the ops head. I can assure folks camel toe is a thing it’s not imaginary. And yes it’s not seen as a positive for most women, weird leggings aside.

if the op says she has a problem with this then I’d urge people to be polite and believe her.

op, if your trousers are loose , but snug there, then the only other explanation is they are pulled up too high, so it’s either fit or how you wear them.

Your strength of feeling about this - feeling disgusting and abnormal, being convinced people are staring, letting it rule your life - makes me wonder if you have body dysmorphia.

I ordered (and returned!) a pair of jeans that gave me a camel toe - they were the weirdest cut. They weren't long enough in the seam at the front somehow, so when they were pulled up to where they should sit, and the bum fit properly, the seam on the crotch was cutting in to me. If I let them slip down so that wasn't happening, I looked like I was wearing a nappy from the back and they were in constant danger of falling down round my ankles. It was like whoever had designed them had never actually seen a human being...

Is it a v shape that's showing and they're sitting in the crease of your legs meeting your groin, or is it the centre seam that's a problem, showing a cleft? Are you sure they're not just pulled up too high?

M00nknight forget the pant liners as these could cause irritation if you don't really need them for their purpose.

What you need is a Smooth Groove - just Google it!

I wear these inside swimsuits! Very hygienic and they work brilliantly. They are made exactly for the reason you need one.

I also think you need to find some alternatives to jeans. You say you are not comfortable in anything else, but you are clearly very uncomfortable in jeans too! There are clothes out there for you, it's finding what suits. Clothes that fit properly won't bunch around the crotch and properly fitting underwear or shape wear could play a big part. While I genuinely think that nobody else cares at all, I think it's important that you feel good about yourself so investing some time and money into looking at new styles and materials would be worth it.

Would have thought camel toe in tight leggings. Op maybe a dark denim would that help. No light colours

Choose black jeans and trousers.

If you genuinely think you have a problem and it makes you so self-conscious, I would definitely wear dresses and skirts instead. You’re not comfortable in jeans so don’t wear them.

When you are out and about - do you see lots of other woman with the same problem or do they look fine? Because I think you are seeing an issue that’s not there, unless as others have said, you are pulling your clothes up too high (which might be the case if you consistently wear a size too big on your waist and so have to pull them up to stop falling down)

but if you aren’t able to get over this, go with dresses - there are lots of loose fit dresses on the market now, lots of empire line and t shirt dresses that aren’t fitted on the waist for comfort.

many skirts are available with elasticated waist bands that won’t be tight.

this does seem to be a problem purely for stretchy leggings and jeggings material clothes - which you prefer for comfort on the waist, but make you uncomfortable for appearance wise. So time to try other options.

Is it particularly prominent? Is it a weight issue eg where you carry your weight? Is it better since you lost weight?

I agree with others. It's possibly an issue that you are thinking is more of a problem than it is. If you have lost a lot of weight, is it more of a "Fupa" issue (fatty upper pubic area) this I could understand. I know you said you have tried other trouser and need an elastic waist, so have you tried those harem trousers? I think they are called. Very soft, shouldn't see any camel toe and comfortable elastic waist.

I've never noticed a camel toe in jeans, only leggings. Are you sure it's noticeable?
