Feeling stressed about not knowing when you have a camel toe?
A camel toe can be clearly visible when you are out and about, and although it may cause some slight discomfort, many women may not even notice when they have a camel toe, this sneaky fellow can creep in at an unexpected time which begs the question; how can you tell if you have camel toe?
To figure out if you have a camel toe, just check your clothes for visible lines in the crotch area and watch out for any feeling of discomfort while wearing certain outfits. You can also follow this simple guide to know more about how to tell you have a camel toe and how to check it discreetly.
14 Different Ways You Can Tell if You Have Camel Toe
You can also tell if you have camel toe when;
1. Pants feel too tight
When wearing tight fitting pants, especially the ones that have a middle seam, a camel toe is a very real possibility, not to mention clothing choices like leggings, biker shorts and swimwear, which tend to be very tight with thin fabric because they are designed to fit the form of the person wearing them.
When wearing form fitting clothes, check the areas around the crotch; if it feels too snug around the lady parts, this may be a good sign of impending camel toe.
2. Infections keep reoccurring
Women are prone to infections like yeast and bacterial vaginosis when they get camel toe consistently. Although this does not mean that camel toes directly cause infections, however, when pants become too tight and don’t allow enough circulation of air in the vulva, this is when it can start to compromise vaginal health.
If you have it for too long, a camel toe can trap heat and moisture in the vagina, making it a haven for yeast infections. So if you have been having some reoccurring vaginal health issues, they may be pointing you towards a camel toe, and you should start considering the possibility that you may be prone to it.
3. Camel toe has become a common occurrence
Women have varying body types; if you are constantly fighting a losing battle with camel toe whenever you wear pants, then it may be that you have a more pronounced pelvic bone or more fat in the crotch area. When you have had more than a few incidences of camel toe, then chances are; it will occur again.
4. You are getting some uncomfortable stares
In public spaces, a camel toe can draw some unwanted attention to your body, so if you notice a few uncomfortable stares directed towards your crotch, that is a pretty good sign of a camel toe.
5. You have been physically active
Morning walks, hikes, jogging and various other outdoor activities keep the body healthy and fit, but all this body movement can make clothing fabric bunch up in unwanted areas. Swimming athletes also experience their fair share of camel toe due to the dynamic body movements and, of course, the water.
So if you notice uncomfortable rubbing or if the fabric seems to fold into the area between the crotch and thigh during physical activity, this might indicate a camel toe.
6. It is a sunny or rainy day
Moisture from either sweat or water can make clothing stick to the body, especially in tight areas making a sunny or rainy day a good catalyst for camel toe.
7. You have been seated for a while
Sitting and standing movements can cause some major creasing between the legs, possibly causing a camel toe. Clothes that press against the skin between the crotch and the upper tights, especially those that leave lines on the fabric after you have been sitting for a long period of time, can tell you if you have a camel toe.
8. You notice chaffing in your delicate areas
If the fabric of the clothing is rough, a camel toe can cause some serious chaffing between the thighs and the crotch. You may notice redness or dryness after a long day of wearing pants as a sign that you have a camel toe.
9. You feel some pressure in your crotch
Some women can tell the feeling of a camel toe from the tell-tale signs such as tightness and pressure from the clothing pressing on the labia and getting into the folds of the skin.
10. You have a feeling of relief in the crotch after a long day
Feeling relief when you take off clothes after a long day is quite normal, but when there is a sore feeling of relief in the crotch area, this may be a sign of camel toe.
11. You have a wedgie
A wedgie is a situation where the fabric gets in between the butt checks. While a wedgie and a camel toe are completely different, it is possible that certain clothing can cause both issues at the same time, which is probably why camel toes are sometimes referred to as frontal wedgies. For example, wearing tight fitting underwear may give a person both a wedgie and a camel toe.
12. There are lines on your skin
A camel toe may cause noticeable lines on the skin. These lines can become more noticeable depending on the type of fabric.
13. There are fabric wrinkles on your pants
You may notice wrinkles and folds on your pants near the crotch, especially when sitting; this may be a sign that the clothing is so tight that it is pulling on the fabric.
14. Self-awareness
When it comes to detecting a camel toe, sometimes you may have to trust your gut feeling. If you suddenly start feeling self-conscious about how your outfit looks around the crotch region, it may be worth checking for any contours that may indicate a camel toe. Take some time to look at the mirror or use your phone camera to check for it if you don’t have access to the mirror.
4 Ways to Check if You Have a Camel Toe
1. The full gaze
In this method, you go to a restroom at home or in the office to do a proper check of the crotch area in a mirror. You can check for the camel toe by looking in a full length mirror or by using a small pocket mirror to check from different angles.
2. The turn and scan
A camel toe can pop up when you are running errands or shopping in the market; here, you have fewer choices; perhaps the nearest bathroom is far away from your location. I recommend the turn and scan; here, you walk by a shop with a glass window and turn ever so slightly to get a quick look at the area. Now, store windows may not give a totally clear view, so instead, check for creasing fabric or tightness in the crotch, which is easier to see in the reflection.
3. Bend and squat
This is for the active girls on a hiking trail or somewhere that have no access to mirrors for a while. Move away from the others if you are in a group to give yourself some privacy before squatting or bending to check for a camel toe.
4. Ask a friend for help
You can ask a trusted friend to help you check if you have a camel toe in a discrete manner.
Final thoughts
We have explored the different ways you can tell if you have a camel toe and the methods to check for it. Being aware of a camel toe and understanding how to recognise it can be essential to maintaining a comfortable and confident appearance. At the end of the day, your happiness and health is all that matters.
