Ladies! Help with something embarrassing!

camel.jpg

I got a big one! It's always been big, it's always shown, but I've always been fat!
Now that I'm losing weight, it's all I see when I look in the mirror! OMG!
My husband thinks it's funny but it's so embarrassing!
HELP!

    I looked at devices to wear on Amazon and they all got really bad reviews. I feel like I'm gonna have to wear a sports cup to get rid of it!

    Cameltoe is from ill fitting pants, namely pants that are too tight in the hips and pulled up too high. Buy a size bigger and take them to a tailor to have the waist taken in to the proper size, and make sure the waist drop is long (look for classic or curvy cuts)

    Though tbh, if they're that good, a panty liner would also do the job, surely!

    I've no serious advice I'm afraid. Wear lower-crotched trousers/skirts?

    it sounds like your natural waistline, where your pants rest at, to your crotch is longer than the pants you buy. You want to look at high waisted pants then, no low-riders. And if these are still too short in that area, then you may have to look at getting clothes professionally tailored to make it fit better in that area.

    Sorry it's not the cheap answer, but there it is.

    ^^ This, or take in the waist yourself.

    Definately get either a size bigger than you are or get a different cut of trousers. Make sure you're not pulling them up too high as well. You could also wear skirts (if you're a skirty person) or just longer tops?

    Your illustration made me giggle.... sorry....

    I would go with the "buy bigger pants" thing. I am suprised about there actually being devices for this.

    Go to a mall, go into several stores and try on different pants. Do not pay attention to the size, but the fit.

    It's actually one of the reasons I use tampons instead of a panty liner... my crotch is a black hole, it just sucks everything in! (Yeah, I said it...)

    Makes sense you guys are saying to get pants with a bigger crotch, I suppose... Up until the last year or so I've always only worn men's pants which do have a significantly larger crotch. But I'm thin now, I wanna be beautiful too! So I need women's pants with a men's style crotch right? I tailor could do that surely?

    They're foam inserts for your panties that cover your form like a sports cup, but they're supposed to be thin and discrete. It's ok if you have a teeny lil line you're trying to hide, but I have a handful of crotch and everything that covers it just gets pulled down the middle LOL

    Cameltoe is one of the reasons that I started wearing skirts.

    It sounds like you have a long rise ( the measurement that goes from waistband to crotch and back up ). Stay away from midrise or low rise pants - chances are, you are yanking your pants up too high to compensate. It's hard to find pants that fit me in the rise, but it can be done. Admittedly, they are a bit " mom jean " at times, so I try to choose styles that are more flattering.

    Can't say my husband minds the skirts though ;-)

    Men's pants may be the problem. They aren't cut correctly for women. There are a lot of manufacturers that make curvy or classic cut pants now for women. They are higher in the waist and roomier in the butt and hips. This is exactly what you need. Don't be afraid to go a little larger in the butt and hips. Taking in the waist is easy. Not so much for the hip and thigh area.

    I think you should patent crotch extensions for ladies pants.

    It would be like the "Ahh Bra" but for your cooch.

    It's totally a clothing issue. How it fits on your body, either the waist is too high, or there needs to be a longer crotch area. Although, I think that yoga/fitness pants tend to make it stand out a bit more than jeans. The material is so soft it can just fold up easier. I found http://www.smoothgroovedesigns.com/ which looked to be like a small hard pad that would prevent it from getting up in there. You could always just spin it and be like my vagina is hungry, don't get enough sausage from the hubs.

    Umm....no. You just need women's pants that fit properly. Set aside some time to go try on different styles, especially the curvy ones suggested above. Express makes curvy pants that work well for hippy ladies. Good luck!

    LOVE this thread. The pic from the OP made me LOL. Totally agree with everyone about the fit of the pants and you're getting some good suggestions about how to find better fitting pants. That is all. Carry on.

    IMHO, Levi's 529 Curvy cut are outstanding for women with a smaller waist and larger bums. They have a really long rise also. I have tall hips as well, so I have to get high waist pants to avoid the cameltoe.

    JCPenney also carries a line of curvy cut work/dress pants in their Worthington line. They come in plus and regular sizes, and they usually run $25-$40. They have lots of room in the butt and a nice long rise also.

    Gap makes decent curvy cut pants also. Although my last pair of Gap curvy cut jeans got worn out too quickly for the price.

    What you want to look for are higher rise pants (not low rise or mid rise) and jeans that are cut so that the hips are roomier. These will be labeled usually as "classic" cut. If you have long hip bones, it won't look "grandmotherish" on you like it would on someone with normal hipbones.
