Camel's toes.

Cameltoe is a slang term that refers to the outline of a woman's vulva when seen through tight, form-fitting clothes. Usually, a cameltoe is visible from the front. Web sites exist that are dedicated to publishing photographs of celebrities' cameltoes.

Cameltoe vs. Bulge

The word cameltoe generally refers to a visible cleft between the labia, as in between a real camel's toes. The size of a cameltoe is largely dependent on the size of the labia majora, not the labia minora, although the latter can contribute.

Uncleft "bulges" are more often visible. The degree to which a woman's mons pubis or 'Mound of Venus' protrudes depends on a number of factors, including weight and anatomical variation.

Health

Tight fitting clothing around the vulva may cause 'feminine itching'[1][2]. Continuous contact between cloth and the inside of the labia may also cause irritation.

Common circumstances

Cameltoes are more likely to be visible under the following circumstances:

• Exercise shorts, stretchpants and leggings—including Lycra or spandex
• Hotpants
• Poorly designed jeans
• Very tight-fitting jeans or shorts
• Underwear or swimwear sized too small
• Vigorous or repetitive exercise, including running, especially in tight clothing
• Wet clothing
• Shaven genitalia
