First things first, there's nothing wrong with the occasional camel toe. They're pretty much a fact of life (especially if you have a vagina and live in leggings). If you've got no idea what we're talking about, ‘camel toe’ is slang for when tightly-fitted shorts or trousers draw attention to the groin area, producing a camel toe effect.
If we're being honest though, there are plenty of occasions where we'd really rather not be drawing undue attention to our vaginas: from hot yoga classes to even hotter first dates. And luckily, one influencer has come up with a clever hack to keep us covered (quite literally).
Hannah Warling, a digital creator based in Los Angeles, shared the hack with her 205k followers, writing, “how am I just finding out about this now??." In the video, Hannah cuts a bra insert into a slim, triangle before sliding it into that slot that all pairs of knickers seem to have.
Here's how its done:
In the video, she writes, “You can hide a camel toe by cutting [a bra insert] into a triangle, then slipping it into your underwear/bikini slot." Impressive.
While most people in the comments were highly impressed with the hack, some pointed out that it would be nice if lingerie designers considered this when – you know – actually designing our underwear.
One person wrote, "So, underwear brands should be aware of this issue and produce this thing at the beginning," while another added, "Surely the designers should think of this when designing lingerie.”
I mean, they've got a point?

One person commented on the post, "Please don’t do this. That piece of fabric on your undies is there for a reason: to make them ‘breathable’.
“If you insert this, you won’t allow a proper airflow and you will unintentionally aid towards yeast infection/UTI/VB. I understand the idea, but better to go for better fitting clothes!”
We can all agree that infections ~ down there ~ are to be avoided at all costs, so it's probably best to save this hack for special occasions, rather than wearing every day.
