How To Hide Camel Toe Naturally (No Pad Needed)

Nothing says sloppy quite like a camel toe showing through clothes. Whether it’s at work, at the gym, or while running errands, an unsightly outline often sends the wrong message. It gives others the idea that an outfit lacks effort.

However, if you’ve had a camel toe, you know that is not usually the case. No one wants to walk around with the private bits out on display, but sometimes the lines just creep up on you. Even simply sitting down can somehow attract a camel toe.

But not to worry, there are easy, uncomplicated ways to deal with this issue. Keep reading to discover how you can get rid of camel toe naturally. No mess, no fuss.

1. Wear Camelnot underwear

The easiest way to hide a camel toe is by wearing camel toe proof underwear. What are these? You may ask, well, Camelnot panties are made with anti-camel toe technology. This means they are designed with special features that address the problem, so you can feel secure and comfortable every time you dress up.

These features include:

• A firm and full gusset that provides coverage in the front.
• Soft moisture wicking fabric
• A balanced waistband that doesn’t shift or roll down
• Flat seams that stay invisible under clothes

Camel toe proof underwears give you the kind of protection that regular undies cannot provide. The fact that they are made from skin friendly material only makes them perfect for everyday use. You can get both high-rise and low-rise versions, so you never run out of options for different outfits and styles. If you are looking for a natural solution for camel toe that is trusted by women all around the world, this is definitely it.

2. Choose the right size of clothes

There is a very thin line between snug and tight. Many of us are guilty of sizing down even when we really shouldn’t because we want that snatched effect from pants and leggings. A lot of the time, this only leads to a malfunction, especially when we start moving. The fabric has nowhere to go, so it begins to wriggle up into the wrong spaces, and you know the rest.

I always recommend that sizing be done using your actual measurements. Use a tape and get accurate lengths of your waist, hips and thighs. And you have to do this regularly because bodies change. Of course, there are times when you need to go down a size and that’s fine as long as it isn’t overdone.

3. Opt for dark colours

Its been long known that dark colours naturally hide folds and creases. Growing up, all the magazines said it; black is slimming. However, I never really took that advice seriously until years later, when I got a camel toe while dressing up for work, and all it took was changing to a darker shade of pants to get a smooth appearance.

And it doesn’t have to be boring black either, many dark colours have the same smoothing effect. Burgundy, teal, burnt orange, brown, dark purple, and navy blue are all fun shades you can try for leggings, shorts and pants.

4. Invest in thicker fabrics

Thin fabrics are not the best option for garments when you are trying to get rid of camel toe. They often bunch up and get into folds easily, making them the wrong choice for a camel toe free outfit. When you want to solve the outline problem, you should make it a point to go for clothes that are double-lined and thick to the touch.

If the material is see-through, it will probably not work to prevent outlines. You need fabrics that have enough structure to maintain a clean appearance around the thighs. So when shopping, ensure you take the following precautions:

• Hold the garment up to check for sheerness. If you can clearly see objects through it, it might not be right.
• Give the fabric a light pull, if white lines start to appear, then the elastane is not sufficient.
• For leggings and other active wear bottoms, check the label or description for moisture-wicking content like spandex and nylon. It should have at least 12-25%.

5. Use designs to provide extra coverage

Certain designs help to disguise and cover the front area, eliminating camel toe in the process. The good thing is that there are so many to choose from. Ruffled pants use layered fabric and added texture to break up smooth lines, while pleated pants create structured folds that add volume through the front and hips, naturally disguising unwanted outlines.

Ribbed shorts work by shifting focus to the fabric texture and palazzo pants offer a wide-leg silhouette that drapes away from the body. All these pant styles have a design element that naturally hides tension. So don’t be too hung up on skinny pants and give other looks a chance.

6. Select outfits with front panels

Since camel toe became a problem, some brands have sprung into action, creating bottoms that have a front panel (gusset). Lululemon leggings even have built-in shorts that give the leggings a double layer of fabric, so the material is not in direct contact with the skin.

You can also take old pants to a good tailor to have them altered to add this feature. Many professionals can provide solutions to your favourite pants once you explain the problem to them. And if you are a DIY girl, you can check out our guide on how to alter pants to prevent camel toe.

7. Avoid worn-out garments

Clothes lose their elasticity and integrity overtime so you can’t blame them when they get caught up in the wrong spot. After a while, even your favorite pieces can give up and when that happens, you simply need to let go.

Once in a while, get into your closet and separate outfits that have been in rotation for a while. You want to check for pants that are getting saggy at the bottom, seams that are fraying apart and leggings that have lost their stretch. All these worn-out clothes are potential camel toe magnets and should be avoided as much as possible.

8. Layer with longer tops

Thank goodness for longer tops, sweaters and cardigans, because they can save us in a pinch. Depending on the mood and the occasion, you can find something that can cover the problem area while remaining stylish. Here are some of my favorite combos:

• Oversized button shirt on leggings.
• A blazer on trousers and jumpsuits.
• Cozy knit sweaters on jeans.
• Flowy kimono on shorts.
• A wrap skirt on leggings.
• Tailed shirts on work pants.
• Oversized sweatshirt on biker shorts.
