A fairly common but unfortunate
scenario for women in gyms
(especially those who wear yoga
pants) is the dreaded camel toe.
Many women have been there. It’s
absolutely nothing to feel ashamed
about. Everyone has seen and knows
what a vulva looks like.
Camel toe is a slang term for the outline
of a woman’s labia majora, as seen through
tightly fitting clothes.
Due to a combination of anatomical factors
and the snugness of the fabric covering it,
the crotch and pudendal cleft may take on
a resemblance to the forefoot of a camel.
The Barbie-doll Culture
Dictating of female fashion: shave, pluck,
or wax most if not all of your pubic hair.
Wear the tightest of tight thongs/
hot pants/jeans, made from the thinnest
material you can find, preferably lycra.
At all costs, avoid the terrible fashion faux pas
of showing the outer contours of your cunt.
Make your genitals as smooth as a peach, wear tight,
figure-skimming clothes, but make sure no one can s
ee its outline! You’re aiming for a groin like Barbie’s.
For those of you not in the know, the dreaded genital
outline is known as the ‘camel’s toe’.
Sporting it will render you the subject of ridicule.
But fear not, fashionistas! The solution is simple.
Stick some padding down your pants, and you’re away!
Puff pads can be purchased from the following sites:
Camelflage – ‘the original visual privacy garment’
(apparently), and Cuchini – ‘our lips are sealed’.
Oooh, girl.
You’ve got a fatty, girl! While the camel
toe cunt is almost identical to
the slit, the camel has visibly
larger lips.
Some of my friends with this vagina type have
felt insecure about it when summer time comes
around, because they know throwing on a pair
of tight leggings, or high-waisted denim shorts,
will never fail to give them a vaginal wedgy.
Swollen Labia
Hanging Labia
Myth: having a lot of sex
stretches the labia
Although shocking, people really believe
multiple sexual partners or lots of sex
can affect the way your labia look.
Sex should never have a long lasting physical
effect on the appearance of your vagina and the
shape and size of your labia are not affected by sex.
The vagina is designed to stretch for
childbirth – even a larger partner won’t
have an effect on the size of your vagina.
When you’re roused the tissues of the
vagina and vulva (including clitoris)
will become engorged with blood and
start to swell and may appear darker.
Inside the body the top of the vagina
will expand. The increased blood flow
will facilitate an increase in natural
lubrication. These changes aren’t long-lasting.
No part of a woman’s body is exempt from
the beauty pageant. That includes the cunt.
Thanks to porn clips showing generally hairless
women with ‘perfect’ rosebud labia, both men
and women have adopted the expectation that
this is what every cunt should look like.
In the same way our faces look different, so
do our genitals – and it’s completely natural.
“I read recently 50% of women have visible/larger
labia which made me feel a lot better.
I’d no idea that my labia were about average in
size.I’d thought I was an abnormal disgusting
freak after I saw jokes about it online.
I’m trying to learn to love and be more kind
to my body more now. I’m very insecure in
general and have very low self-confidence.”
