As a personal shopper, I’ve had the pleasure of working with women of different shapes and sizes, helping them find the perfect outfits to feel their best. What I realized is that regardless of body type, there’s one fashion faux pas that seems to sneak its way into our lives at the most inconvenient times – the notorious camel toe.
Camel toe is a wardrobe malfunction that is no stranger to many of us, whether we are strutting our stuff in snug jeans or flaunting our fabulous new swimsuits. And let’s be honest, having a camel toe can be both uncomfortable and embarrassing.
So, if you’ve ever found yourself wondering how to get rid of bikini camel toe once and for all, you’ve come to the right place.
Before we dive into the tips, here’s something many women now do for an instant fix:
Many women simply wear Camelnot’s Low-Rise or High-Rise Cameltoe-Proof Thongs under swimwear for a perfectly smooth, invisible finish. These styles stay in place even in water and confortable to wear.
Now, let’s talk about every effective method available plus how to make your bikini look flawless without feeling self-conscious.
The Most Effective Way to Get Rid of Bikini Camel Toe
If you want a solution you can use with any bikini bottom you already own, the quickest and most reliable way to prevent camel toe is by using a camel toe concealer.
They are easy to apply, durable, and come with a waterproof adhesive that makes them perfect for bikini bottoms. These adhesives keep the cover in place, giving you a smooth and seamless finish in any swimwear style.
But let’s go further. Here are nine additional ways to eliminate bikini camel toe and boost your confidence on the beach.
1. Choose the right fit
Of course, we all want a bikini that flatters the curves and highlights that beach body, but there is no need to go overboard. It is a common mistake among many women to opt for swimsuits that are way too small in the pursuit of that snatched look, but that can also lead to uncomfortable situations, like the dreaded camel toe. If your goal is to steer clear of camel toe, the key is to go for a bikini that fits just right.
To avoid any annoying bunching, start by taking accurate measurements. Measure your waist at the narrowest part, usually right above your belly button, then measure your hips at the widest point. Once you have done that, consult a size chart to find your correct fit.
Now, if you find yourself between sizes, here’s a pro tip, It’s always better to size up rather than down. We don’t want those bikini bottoms too loose because that can lead to the very same issue we’re trying to avoid.
If you love your current bikini bottom but the fit isn’t perfect, you can wear the Camelnot Low-Rise Thong for a smoother, more invisible look without changing the bikini itself.
2. Opt for bikini bottoms with built-in liners
Many swimsuit brands add an extra layer of fabric to the crotch area of the bikini bottoms. This additional liner serves as a barrier between the outer fabric and your crotch, leaving the fabric smooth and free of creases.
But if you can’t get one of those, you can try a little DIY on your existing swimsuit. Simply get a small piece of fabric from an older pair of swimsuit bottoms and stitch it onto the base of your new bikini bottoms to get that seamless effect.
Prefer a no-DIY option? The Camelnot High-Rise Thong has built-in smoothing support and can even be worn as a replacement bikini bottom for extra coverage and comfort.
3. Buy Bikini made with quality fabrics
The fabric of your swimsuit is very important. Thin fabrics tend to roll up and fold into crevices during activities and are more likely to cause camel toe. They can also cling to the pelvic area when wet and highlight the fold and curves of your crotch.
Moisture-wicking fabrics take things up a notch. They’re designed to manage moisture efficiently, keeping you feeling dry and comfortable.
Even with quality fabric, some swimsuits still cling after a swim. Wearing a Camelnot Concealer Pad underneath keeps everything smooth, lifted, and secure no matter the fabric.
4. Go for darker colours
The colour of your swimsuit can just be the lifesaver you need when you have a camel toe. Folds can be less visible in dark-coloured bikinis. They can camouflage those contours even when they get wet, while lighter colours do the exact opposite and may attract a lot of unwanted attention to that area. So try out darker colours like navy blue, emerald green, or burgundy.
5. Wear patterned bikinis
Okay, maybe you are not a big fan of dark colours, you prefer fun, bright bikinis, and you won’t settle for less; no worries, there is also a solution for you. All you have to do is avoid plain bikinis; instead, find one with patterns and prints, like a lot of it.
Choose something busy that will distract the eye that way; even if you get a camel toe, at least there is a chance for it to go unnoticed.
6. Go for seamless bottoms
When you are shopping for a bikini, it is really important to check the stitching and seam placement. Swimsuits with front seams are likely to cause a camel toe as the seam tends to cave into the crotch area during movements.
Now, I have nothing against front seams, but if you don’t want those lines digging into your folds, then it is better to go with seamless bikini bottoms.
The Camelnot Thong Collection is made without front seams, which is why so many women wear them as swimsuits bottom to keep everything smooth even during movement.
7. Pick the right bikini style for your body
There are various styles of bikinis, every one with its unique design, and it is very important you choose something that fits you best. Know your body type and what works for you. If you have a prominent pubic area, go for bikini bottoms with a wide base that can provide coverage.
Moreover, the beauty of swimsuit shopping is that you don’t have to limit yourself to popular styles. Be bold and go for designs that offer more coverage, like vintage retro styles, ruffles, or skirted bottoms.
8. Try the boob tape trick
The boob tape is an old trick I used before I started using a camel toe concealer. Basically, you are using the tape in a sort of binding method to keep the toeing in check. You can do this with any skin-friendly tape that has a firm adhesive, like boob tape or even medical tape.
Cut the tape out in a diamond shape and apply it onto the base of your bikini bottoms to give it some structure; this will prevent the fabric from creasing into a camel toe.
9. Practice proper bikini maintenance
When swimsuit fabrics are not maintained properly, it can cause the fibres to get damaged and lose their shape, making it easy for bunching and creasing to occur. Chlorine, salt, sand, and all the other things bathing suits are exposed and can be harmful to the fabric, so it is important to develop a good maintenance culture.
The first thing you should do after a day in the sun is to rinse out your bikini in warm water to get rid of all the sand and dirt that can cause abrasions and lead to funky odours. Do not keep wet bikini in a bag; make sure to air-dry it once you get back. This will allow the fabric to retain its stretch.
How to Hide Bikini Camel Toe (Quick Fixes)
1. Adjust the fabric
Discreetly, step aside or find privacy to adjust your bikini bottoms. Gently pull the fabric away from your body to smoothen it out.
But honestly, the easiest fix is wearing a bikini bottom that prevents creasing entirely like Camelnot’s smoothing thongs that stay seamless even when wet.
2. Accessorize
Get a buoyant beach hat or cute waist beads to create a distraction so that others won’t easily notice it. As a bonus, this can add a little more flair to your outfit.
3. Use a swimsuit cover-up
Swimsuit cover-ups may come in handy when a camel toe occurs. They can be any style of your choosing as long as they cover up your pelvic region. A scarf can also be used for this purpose, just tie it into a cute drape on your waist, and you are good to go.
4. Wear an oversized shirt
Personally, I always come prepared with a light blouse that is long enough to go over the crotch for when I come out of the water. But if you don’t have any on you, you can ask a friend if they have an oversized button-down shirt you can borrow.
Can Panty Liners Prevent Camel Toe in Swimsuits?
Yes, panty liners can provide a reasonable amount of protection, but they may not be the right choice in swimsuits. Panty liners are usually made with soft materials that can easily fold when they get wet. For water activities, a Camelnot Concealer Pad is more reliable, waterproof, and specifically designed for the job.
Final Thoughts
Camel toe can happen anywhere and at any time, but it doesn’t have to ruin your day or keep you locked away from all the fun. If you want a smooth, effortless, and long-term fix, both the Camelnot Thongs and Camelnot Concealer Pad are excellent solutions. Whether you prefer wearing something under your bikini or replacing your bottoms entirely, these options keep everything smooth, invisible, and secure.
Hopefully, with these tips, you will be able to get rid of unwanted crotch cleavage and flaunt that bikini with confidence.
