I enjoy the warmer weather since it provides more possibilities to spend time outside, such as poolside or at the beach. You want to make sure your swimwear looks great whether you’re swimming, surfing, or simply laying in the sun. The famed camel toe is one swimwear-related clothing mishap that many women, including myself, are keen to avoid. Even the most self-assured among us can feel self-conscious as a result of this inadvertent fashion faux pas. Check out these ideas for avoiding camel toe when wearing a bathing suit.
A camel toe is usually caused by tight-fitting fabric pressing on the crotch, causing the visible appearance and separation of a woman’s vulva. When clothing is too tight in that area, the slang word describes how the outer genitalia appear. Some women aren’t bothered by the sight of a camel toe. Other ladies, on the other hand, choose to avoid revealing their camel toe in public because they feel it embarrassing or overly provocative.
How To Avoid Camel Toe in Swimsuits
Whether you’re wearing a one-piece swimming suit or a bikini, there are several reasons that can cause a camel toe. Once you know what to look for, you can either get a new bathing suit or repair one you already own. There are however some precautions you can take to avoid accidently displaying a camel toe.
Tip 1: Choose the Correct Size and Fit
With numerous one- and two-piece styles available, you’re bound to discover a swimsuit type that prevents a camel toe from forming at the most inconvenient times. Before you buy online, check out the swimwear size guide and study all of the swimsuit specifications that are presented. To get the most out of this tutorial, you must take exact measurements of your body, even if it means enlisting the assistance of a friend.
In general, a camel toe is more likely to form when fabric is excessively closely fitted against the body. Swimwear that is overly loose, on the other hand, may allow the fabric to slide around and get trapped in the groin, leading in camel toe. That is why it is critical to select a bathing suit that does not fit too tightly or too loosely.
While trying on swimwear offers you an accurate indication of a suit’s likelihood of causing a front wedgie, you may not be allowed to do so without your panties, which provide a layer of protection from camel toe.
Tip 2: Select Swimwear With Thicker Fabric
Thicker, higher-quality fabrics are more likely to remain put and ride up into your nether regions. Lightweight or extremely elastic textiles are more likely to settle into gaps and crevices, especially when moved or wet. Also, buy a swimming suit with some elasticity so that the cloth stays in all the proper places and moves less when you do. If the material isn’t extremely breathable, you’ll sweat more, which increases your chances of getting a camel toe because the fabric clings to damp skin. Our Leonisa design team invests a lot of attention and effort into selecting the greatest high-quality textiles for our products.
Tip 3: Consider the Style
Because of their fit, some swimwear styles are more prone to result in camel toe. As an example:
- One-piece bathing suits: A one-piece bathing suit should fit properly across the bust, waist, and hips. Furthermore, the swimsuit must be long enough from the shoulder to the groin to prevent the crotch from dragging into the crotch, which is a major cause of camel toe in this form of swimwear. At Leonisa, we offer a variety of high-quality one-piece bathing suits that are designed to keep wearers’ toes free of camel hair.
- Low-rise bikini bottoms: This trendy swimsuit style is designed to sit low on the hips. If you’re worried about your bottoms slipping down in the back, a camel toe may form. The more you pull up on the waist of these bikini bottoms, the more likely it is that you will have a camel toe.
- Thong bikini bottoms: The thong is created as a triangle in the front that can be hidden behind the swimsuit. Some thong types are broad enough in the back to cover the crack, while others are so tiny that they settle in the back. Because the fabric of the thong bikini bottom wedges is tighter during movement, it might pull at the front of the bathing suit, causing a distinct separation of the labia, resulting in a camel toe.
- Suits with front seams: If your swimming suit or bikini has a front seam down the middle, you’re more likely to have a camel toe because the ridge of fabric that produces the seam will likely settle in. You won’t have to worry about front seams when you buy a Leonisa bathing suit because they are built without them!
Tip 4: Try Darker Colors
Lighter-colored fabrics are more likely to reveal more of what’s underlying. When you choose a darker colored swimming suit, you can reduce the look of a camel toe even when the swimsuit is wet.
Tip 5: Check for a Built-in Lining
Unfortunately, not all cute bathing suits are created equal, and some may even be sold without a bottom lining. Check to verify if the bathing suits you like have linings stitched in while perusing your options. These will provide further protection against camel toe. It’s worth noting that Leonisa’s bikini bottoms all feature linings.
If you already have a swimsuit that you adore and are unable to part with, you can sew your own liner into it. Just make sure the fabric you chose is thick enough and breathable to minimize moisture gathering down there. Furthermore, when putting in the liner, only sew the sides along the leg holes, leaving the short sides uncovered to avoid unattractive seams.
Tip 6: Try Camel-toe Concealers
Camel-toe concealers are normally composed of silicone and have one sticky edge for attaching to your bathing suit bottom or to yourself. They can be used again and again. Panty liners can also be used, however they must be replaced after each usage.
You may also construct your own reusable concealer out of leftover bra padding or shoulder pads. Cut a rectangle that narrows toward one end from the lining in your bathing suit bottom. After you’ve cut a piece of padding to the suitable size, simply put it into one of the liner openings in your swimsuit. The padding will be held in place by the lining, giving enough protection from camel toe.
Tip 7: Cover Up
If your favorite swimsuit has a camel toe and none of the other options seem appropriate, you can always wear a cover-up out and about. Skirts, shawls, and other beach clothing can be stylish as well as utilitarian. When I’m not feeling my best in my bathing suit bottoms, having the extra security of a cover-up always makes me feel more secure.
Avoid Swimwear Camel Toe
Preventing a camel toe is as simple as wearing the appropriate bathing suit from the outset. At Leonisa, we go above and above to keep camel toe at bay.
