Now you can buy knickers with built-in camel toe

Katie Mythen-Lynch

Camel toe: ‘The effect created by a pair of trousers fit very tightly around a woman’s groin, so drawing attention to the shape of the external genitals’.

We’ve spent years doing everything in our power to avoid or correct it, but one of fashion’s biggest crimes is trending in Japan and we don’t know how to feel about it.

So enamoured are the Japanese with the camel toe effect that they’ve started selling underwear with a FAKE camel toe handily built in.

The thing is, we can’t quite figure out if this is pro-body confidence (‘wear your camel-toe with pride, ladies!) or anti body confidence (your groin isn’t the right shape, here’s something you can buy to fix that’).

In the words of Tammy Wynette, sometimes it’s hard to be a woman.
