Camel toe drama

Missypuddingchops · 11/06/2026 21:40

Im going right in with honesty...the older ive gotten the 'longer' my bits of skin down there have gotten! I go to the gym and i like to wear my seamless shorts to keep it all in order...so to speak however im still getting a bloody camel toe! Ive tried loose shorts so you cant see it but they get caught on some of the machines and nearly cut me in half. Is there any tried and test anti camel toe thongs that actually work? Before I get the scissors out...

I don't really understand the issue. Isn't underwear sufficient? 🤔

Then youre lucky...my issue is very apparent in underwear...

When you say “they get caught on some of the machines and nearly cut me in half”…..can I check that you’re referring to the shorts, not the skin!😂

I just sputtered my tea everywhere...😂😂

I saw a video online that a removable bra cup insert can be cut down into camel toe disguise. Cut to size and put it in your underwear.

Apart from that, topical oestrogen cream. Gina from a pharmacy or Ovestin via script from a doctor. It will help to stem the atrophy and will hopefully restore things a bit.

It sounds like you're not dressing for your body type if this issue is bothering you. Choose better-fitting clothes?

I reported it yesterday but it's still here.

Myli1 · 12/06/2026 19:47

I honestly wouldn’t worry about it. It’s just a human body, we’re all different shapes and sizes and if you don’t make an issue of it certainly no-one else will.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 at this stage it could be either...my little loose friends are getting their own personality

DH just asked me what I’m laughing at 😳

Missypuddingchops · 12/06/2026 19:56

Normally im not fussed but 1...when im lifting it all gets abit 'caught up' so some extra padding would help...

Ill be honest...its just a nightmare in anything I wear...forget the look of it...since I had my kids and am hitting menopause...its not as tidy and actually irritating. So apart from wearing a tent with no pants on...

Tie it in a bow?

Gross isn’t it. Probably ‘spends all evening in the loo talking about tampons too’ 🙄

perlan · 12/06/2026 20:21

Agree with pp, start Ovestin vag cream now. And wear a pair of period pants. Sorted.

This is my concern too!

JaneyDC · 12/06/2026 20:56

What the fuck?
The ridiculous ellipsis repetition is getting on my tits and looks familiar?

If this is real. Panty liners will sort it.
If this is a creep. Get a bloody life, you perv.

Spends a lot of time asking people on MN about various different kinds of underwear and asking for stories and experiences of underwear and the menopause etc.

Or toss them over your shoulder, like a regimental soldier?

Tryonemoretime · 12/06/2026 20:59

Stop it, you lot. I keep snorting into my wine!

I bought the camel toe g strings that kept coming up on my instagram and they are quite good! Just has a small foam triangle in.
sorry I can’t remember the brand but might be worth you making some?

Missypuddingchops · 12/06/2026 22:32

A weird man??? As opposed to a normal man? Im a woman...a menopausal one
