Download Article

Wearing snug-fitting leggings can give you camel toe, which is slang for when fabric bunches around your bikini area and outlines your labia majora. While some people don’t mind the look of a frontal wedgie, it’s totally understandable if you feel more comfortable covering it up. Luckily for you, we’ve compiled the best ways to avoid camel toe while wearing leggings, including the types of leggings and underwear to wear as well as quick cover-up tips. As a bonus, these hacks also apply to other tight bottoms like yoga pants, athletic shorts, and swimsuits!

Things You Should Know

  • Choose thick, well-fitting leggings without a front seam to prevent camel toe. Opt for dark or patterned fabrics to conceal your bikini area, too.
  • Wear seamless underwear to help smooth out your pelvic area. Or, wear period or cycling underwear to create a thicker barrier.
  • Put on a panty liner or camel toe concealer to prevent your leggings from riding up. Or, make a DIY concealer out of an old bra pad insert.

Opt for thicker leggings.

  1. When you’re shopping for new leggings or yoga pants, opt for ones made with thicker, blended fabrics like lycra, rayon, spandex, nylon, or bamboo. Wearing bottoms with more material helps prevent your camel toe from making an unwanted appearance. [2]
    • In general, stay away from thinner fabrics like linen, polyester, and 100% spandex.
    • Sit, bend down, and walk around when you try on leggings and other bottoms. The fabric is likely too thin if you can see your skin through the leggings when you move.

Put on a panty liner.

  1. Panty liners create a thick barrier to get rid of camel toeing. If you find yourself rocking a frontal wedgie while you’re out or at the gym, just stick a panty liner inside your underwear to conceal any creasing. The thick material of the panty liner prevents your leggings or bottoms from bunching up around your pelvic area. [9]
    • If you prefer to wear thongs, wear thong panty liners . These are made with less material to fit inside your underwear while still covering up camel toe.
    • For extra camel toe protection, wrap the panty liner horizontally around your underwear instead of sticking it on vertically.
