Why it's time to celebrate the controversial camel toe this winter
When you hear the words ‘camel’ and ‘toe’, what is your response? Do you shudder repulsively? Do you instantly look down, stretch the length of your jumper and think, ‘Please, not me?’ Defined as ‘ crotch cleavage ‘ on Urban Dictionary, the camel toe is an unfortunate and sexist rite of passage for many females.
Biologically speaking, it refers to the two-toed look your pants get around the crotch when the outline of the labia becomes noticeable. High-waisted jeans, leggings and bike shorts are all major culprits and labia-hugging bottoms. It's scrutinised and looked upon with disgust. But shouldn't a camel toe be cute?
Looking for more ways to break down stigmas associated with women’s fashion? Head over to our fashion vertical.
Tara Reid's nipple slipped out on the red carpet in 2004, quickly relegating her as the laughing stock of paparazzi and tabloid readers alike. And then there was the repetitive, dreaded appearance of the camel toe – the ultimate fashion faux pas, according to women's magazines and news sites.
Whether due to the prevalence of gossip magazines or simply societal pressures, I became aware of the camel toe early on, much like my peers. In primary school, we would mock those with highly-hitched pants (and only wear ours super low-rider, a la Paris Hilton), even more so if that crevasse was on show. We were products of the media, and the theme continued into high school.
Instead of dressing for personal style and comfort – or identifying with our femininity – we protected ourselves and our vulvae. We bundled them up and took great care to examine every angle in the mirror before leaving the house, god forbid anything nefarious were left on show.
Even now, celebrities are slaughtered for any hint of crotch cleavage, whether it’s Sofia Richie, Sophie Monk or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. With athletic wear the new norm – thanks to COVID, working from home, and our overarching obsession with wellness culture – it's a phenomenon that impacts even the richest and most beautiful.
Like a moth to the flame is the camel toe to stretchy, nylon pants our preferred breeches of choice. Listicles abound, outlining the ‘bike shorts that will never, ever give you camel toe’ or ‘camel toe erasing leggings’. Seek thick waistbands and fabrications, stick to dark colours, and avoid any centre seams, they say. Not to mention the products and tips recommended to cover-up: tissues, pantyliners, camel toe guard (yes, sadly these exist).
My desperate guzzling of Man Repeller c ontent in my early twenties offered a welcome, refreshing take. The FUPA (fat upper pubic area) and camel toe were public points of discussion. Although they supposedly ‘repel’ men, the discussion of and reference to this traditional faux pas was a welcome starting point in addressing the stigma and encouraging comfort within one's body. After all, some of us are more likely to sport a camel toe than others; every vulva is unique.
