Concealing the camel toe 🐫

[VernitaGreen]

Only recently bought leggings for the first time for exercise. Any recommendations for hiding the camel toe?

Online searching brings up underwear products that claim to work but all seem a bit dodgy from brands I've not heard of and are either £2 from China or £35 for a single pair of pants.

Has anyone used either the silicone concealers or pants designed for this that work? Or something else, e.g. panty liners.

I think it depends a lot on brand. I have an issue with it in Sweaty Betty leggings, no problem with Lululemon, even the ones with the seam down the front.

It’s fit and fabric. Lulu Align
standard full seamless briefs (Costco Jones New York).

It appears so based on responses. Also that I'll have to do some significant trying on next time. 🤦‍♀️🫣

Long top

For your vpl issue buy seamless underwear - I get all mine from primark, mixture of thongs and shorts style (the latter I use for running)

I tend to wear leggings with loose shorts over the top whilst running at this time of year. I find thicker more supportive leggings to be less revealing in general plus seamless ones. Don't go for thinner ones especially if you intend on squatting etc. you won't make it through a while workout with a hoodie on unless you are walking. I'd be a sweaty mess! I do tend to wear longer, looser tops in a moisture wicking fabric in the gym

Most women: Whoops, I’m flashing a bit of camel toe, better wear a longer t-shirt.
OP: Perhaps I should ask on MN all the different ways to cover CT, and spend 8 hours debating the various suggestions.

This is why you have pinged as a pervy man to some of us.

You have to wear quite a long top to conceal that area, below your bum. I would find it very uncomfortable to exercise in such long garments, so no, that's not always the solution.

Maybe try period pants underneath as they have a panel that might disguise?

Oh I think/know there's plenty of people who really, really love seeing camel toes.

Joking aside, I honestly don't understand the trend, makes me cringe!

I wear panty liners. They work really well.

Longer t shirt. No one needs to see your bum.

I’m in the gym to work very hard, jump high, run fast and lift very heavy weights, so I live a healthy long life. VPL is so unimportant I can’t even …

If you’re bothered about VPL, you’re not training hard enough.

I am a fitness instructor, working out hard really not an issue and yes I do care about VPL and camel toe (my own, others can do what they want). People are different.

Well yeah, I've never been at the bottom of heavy squat, wondering if I'll make it back out of the hole, wondering about my pants.

Meant in the least non offensive way - are you sure they’re not too small for you?

failing that, are you pulling them up higher waisted than they’re intended to be? Maybe buy high waisted ones so you naturally don’t yank them up as high?

Compression leggings and the right underwear make a big difference.

Fabletics powerhold leggings are amazing for everyday and for gym or running and smooth everything over so well! they are the only leggings I’ve found that hide everything 100%

If you get the VIP membership you get 2 for £24 then just cancel afterwards

You are definitely not alone it’s just about finding what’s right for your body xx

In solidarity, I’m saddled with camel toe too because of how I’m built, pain in the arse ( or in my case, fanny) .

Leggings aren't compulsory.
If you dont want to bare your legs you also dont have to wear stuff that clings to your arse and labia.
You can wear trackies.

Exactly! I'm glad I wasn't the only one!

Just try and not be so self conscious. I have never heard of anyone worrying about CTs apart from people on MN .

All of those ideas sound like brilliant ways to get a yeast infection.

Try a size up in leggings.

I started wearing leggings about 2 years ago and do not have that problem at all. I buy from Llama Leisure (they are on FB). They are made from good quality material and are slightly thicker than most I have seen, so no awkward see through around the derriere either. The designs are great too.

Honestly- can you accept that some of us have fleshy bits and some don't?

Trust me, no one will care what you look like. Why do you think people are interested in looking at your camel toe? They really aren't.
