You enjoy the tight fabric that hugs your curves as you put on your new yoga pants. You feel fitter and more attractive than ever.
You catch yourself in the mirror after you walk to class or do a few asanas, and your stomach drops: you have a big yoga pants camel-toe!
You feel like your true self has been revealed. Nothing is more embarrassing than trying to adjust your cameltoe during a public yoga class or in front of others.
What is Camel Toe?
“Camel toe” refers to the appearance of a woman’s labia minora when wearing tight clothing. The usual culprits are fitness wear, swimwear, spandex briefs, leggings, and yoga pants. Camel toes can be both embarrassing and unsightly. They are also very uncomfortable.
Although camel toes should be avoided, society must stop criticizing women’s bodies. Here are some tips to keep your yoga leggings from squeezing your crotch.
How to prevent Camel Toe
You’ve come to the right place if you want to avoid a camel toe ruining your favorite athleisure outfit. It’s okay to replace only some of the Yoga pants you have in your closet. Here are some simple ways to prevent your leggings from wrinkling up.
Tip for “Bra-pad Cushions”
Sophia Edmund has devised an easy yet effective hack to conceal camel toes. Sophia Edmund’s words:
Yoga garments can be patterned and sewn in different ways. Leggings made on a large scale are often produced in sweatshops using cheap fabrics by poorly paid workers. These yoga pants tend to be lower quality and are more likely than others to become misshapen after washing.
Search for leggings with flat-front panels. Brands with flat-front panel yoga leggings are:
- WodoWei’s Women’s Seamless Camo Legging: Flat front, squat proof, and opaque
- ODODO Camel toe-free Leggings Capris: Flat front construction specifically designed to avoid camel feet
- Women’s Buttlift Seamless Leggings: No-camel toe and squat-proof legging with booty lift scrunch.
Size up in Activewear Bottoms
- It’s not just you. I’ve also tried to fit into pants that are too small. These pants are so cute. Why can’t you make them work? I would stretch the spandex to its maximum length. It’s not worth it.
- It’s best to exchange or replace your existing leggings with a larger size to ensure they don’t dig into your lady bits. In any case, athletic wear is often too minor! Leggings made from cotton or polyester will also shrink when washed in high heat.
- Wearing activewear bottoms one size larger is more comfortable. This will ensure that they are “squat proof” (not see-through when you bend over) and “cameltoe-resistant.”
Wear Leggings With Built-In Liners
- Some high-end legging brands have integrated underwear into their leggings. It’s perfect for those who like to go commando but dislike the look of camel toes and visible pants lines.
- The thicker fabric and complex patterns sewn during production make these leggings more expensive. Ultracor Leggings have built-in shapewear and a lining.
Leggings with a Gusset
- A gusset can be defined as an extra piece to reinforce specific areas of a garment. Activewear is increasingly using gusset crotches to avoid annoying issues like camel-toe. The gusset crotch allows for greater freedom of movement and reduces chafing.
