The unusual underwear has additional padding in the crotch area that gives off the illusion of camel toe. Why something like this even exists is quite baffling.
Although the world has made some progress in terms of body positivity and just accepting and admiring different body types as they are, we still have quite a long way to go. The beauty and fashion industry, in particular, seem to be caught in some kind of an internal battle with some parts of the industries continuing to perpetuate unrealistic body types and expectations. Shattering our belief that we’d seen the worst of it, we recently came across an item that just about makes us want to evaporate off the face of this earth. With utmost regret, allow me to introduce you to fake camel toe underwear.
While most women go to extreme lengths to avoid sporting a camel toe, it appears as though there are some who apparently don’t mind doing so. For those wanting to accentuate the shape of their labia, these undergarments are the perfect means to take your flat-lipped vulvas from “meh” to “Va va voom!” Basically, this quirky product is your run-of-the-mill underpants with some additional padding that creates the illusion of a puffy looking camel toe. Why is this actually a thing that needs to exist in this world? The internet has absolutely no idea.

According to Mirror, these camel toe panties are available for purchase on a number of online shopping sites including Amazon and eBay. The product description for one Amazon listing of these unusual panties reads, “Get freaky with these NEW sexy Camel toe panties. These sexy underwear lets you bring a camel toe wherever you go. Similar to a good bra, these quirky panties promises to ‘lift and separate.’ You can be sure that you will leave an impression on the people you meet.” Uh, so this thing is essentially a push-up bra for vagina?

In order to get a woman’s perspective on this, the publication had a model named Georgia try out the fake camel toe panties. “They feel like normal knickers, they’re comfortable and cottony. You don’t really notice that’s there, although other people will. With tight leggings, it would be pretty noticeable. It doesn’t feel alien. When you put them on it moves with the curve of your body more. I don’t think they’re for me personally, but each to their own,” she said.
