How to Prevent Camel Toe in Bodysuits

Going through my wardrobe recently, I could not believe how many bodysuits I now own. These makeshift tops have become my go-to for many occasions. I enjoy styling them with jeans and pants because they really take away the pressure to re-tuck. Truly, they have become one of my top wardrobe essentials and I imagine the same is true for a lot of you reading this.

But here is the thing about bodysuits. As much as I love them, they come with one very common and very annoying problem called camel toe. Because a bodysuit fastens at the crotch, they often get stuck in those sensitive areas.

However, because I value them so much and they make my mornings easier, I didn’t give up on them and you don’t have to either. In this article, I’m going to share all the tips and tricks I use to prevent camel toe in body suits, so you too can enjoy the smooth benefits without getting outlines.

How to Prevent Camel Toe in Bodysuits

1. Wear shapewear underwear underneath

This is the tip I always start with because it makes the biggest difference. Infact, this alone is enough protection from camel toe. The Camelnot Camel Toe Proof Thong is the shapewear underwear I recommend for bodysuits.

It has a built-in camel toe proof front panel that actively prevents the outline from forming, no matter how fitted the bodysuit is. The seamless construction means no edges or ridges are pressing through the fabric and the flat front panel keeps everything smooth at the crotch area from the moment you put it on.

Here is why this shapewear underwear works so well under bodysuits:

• The camel toe proof front gusset keeps the crotch area smooth and flat
• The seamless design stays flush against the skin with no visible edges
• It stays in place without shifting or bunching during movement
• It is lightweight and invisible under bodysuits
• The fabric is moisture wicking, so it stays comfortable through any activity

Once you have the right underwear underneath, your bodysuit camel toe problems will disappear on their own. For complete confidence under all your bodysuits styles, get both the high rise and low rise designs.

2. Consider the length of the bodysuit

Sizing a bodysuit is not the same as sizing a regular top. With a regular top, you mostly think about how it fits across the shoulders, chest, and waist. With a bodysuit, the length of your torso is very important, and this is the detail that most women overlook when they are shopping.

A bodysuit that is too short for your torso will pull upward constantly. All that pulling creates tension, leaving visible lines that can ruin the outfit. The kind of camel toe that can come from undersized body suits are not just ugly, they can also be painful.

When you are choosing a bodysuit, think about basic everyday movements like sitting down, walking, and bending. Try the bodysuit on and sit down in it before you decide to buy it. And if you are buying online, measure your torso and check the size guide for your perfect fit.

3. Choose quality fabrics

Thin or low quality fabrics are not the best for body hugging clothing like a bodysuit. To get a flawless appearance, you need to invest in good quality fabrics. They have enough structure to sit smoothly against the body instead of highlighting every detail underneath.

Fabrics like jersey, ponte, scuba, and quality cotton blends all have the right combination of stretch and structure. A quick test when shopping is to hold the fabric up and stretch it gently. If you can see through it when stretched, the fabric might be too light for a bodysuit.

However, if you intend to buy a bodysuit online, start by reading the descriptions. Then compare the details to the reviews. What are other consumers saying about that garment, especially after washing it or wearing it for a while? This will give you a clue about the strength and durability of the item.

4. Get the snap closure right

Most bodysuits fasten with snap closures at the crotch. If those snaps are fastened in the wrong position, or if there are multiple snap options and you choose the wrong one, the crotch section of the bodysuit can end up at an awkward angle.

Some suits come with two or three snap positions that allow you to adjust how snugly the bodysuit fastens. So, if camel toe is showing even in a well fitting bodysuit, try fastening the snaps on a looser setting. This gives the clothing a little more room and keeps camel toe at bay.

Alternatively, if you are not comfortable with snap fasteners, opt for body suits with zippers. That way, you do away with any bulging around the crotch. Your comfort is what matters most, so choose the body suit design that helps you achieve it.

5. Check the seam placements

Avoid middle seams as much as possible. I will keep saying this as many times as I can. Speaking from experience, if you have any stitching in the middle of your bodysuit around the crotch area, the chances of camel toe are very high.

Based on what we discussed earlier, you already know that any tension on the crotch is bad news.  A bodysuit with a very narrow crotch panel or a straight seam that does not follow the natural curve of the body will pull inward and create lines faster than you can imagine.  

The only thing you can do to save a middle seam body suit is wearing your camel toe proof thong. The underwear will support the seam because it has a reinforced gusset that will stop outlines and keep you comfortable.

Final Thoughts

Bodysuits are too good to give up over something as fixable as camel toe. They are sleek, they stay tucked, and they pull an outfit together in a way that very few other tops can. All they need is a little extra attention when it comes to fit, fabric, and what you wear underneath.

To recap, start with the shapewear underwear because it solves the problem instantly. Then make sure the bodysuit is the right length for your torso and choose good quality fabrics. Applying these tips ensures that camel toe stops being part of your bodysuit experience.
