Last night Miranda Kerr walked the David Jones runway for the Spring/Summer fashion launch. She wore this:

She looks pretty awesome. There’s no question about that.
But as news websites everywhere gush over the shade of her lipstick, the cut of the white swimsuit and the presence or otherwise of her wedding ring… we were thinking something else: How come she doesn’t get camel toe?
It’s not that we’re shallow. Oh no. We have also discussed many other things on Mamamia today including this, this and this.
This particular swimsuit appears to be very tight. Which is generally the case for all bathing suits/bikinis/swimmers/budgie smugglers/togs/whatever you like to call the thing you wear when you head to the beach. But this one is also white. And it’s being modelled in front of a few thousand of people all of whom have cameras. Hundreds of whom have powerful magnifying lenses.
The intricacies of how lingerie and swimsuit models keeps that area smooth as she strides down the runway, is worth some brief consideration in an otherwise busy day filled with issues that are actually important.
And we think this might be the answer:
Introducing The Smooth Groove. Named as such because it smooths the groooooooove.
Check out these crotch changing before-and-after pics:
The SmoothGroove . was born because one British woman was frustrated at the lack of “camel toe solutions” on the market and decided to design her own. (Does it remind anyone else of a shoe horn? Just us?)
According to the company’s website “a staggering 55% of women, irrespective of age, size or weight, experience camel toe at some point in their lives”. That’s a pretty staggering percentage indeed.
Is this more proof that marketers are having a laugh at us or is the Smooth Groove filling an, um, niche?

I would never wear that. I think its a joke thing. I love showing my cameltoe when Im in my gym clothes. I see guys checking it out all the time. LOL.

Why would models use that? Camel toe is just as natural as cleavage or butt, which are areas that many women even enhance. If you start hiding your camel toe then you might as well minimize your breasts and butt so no one can see them either.
I am a woman, and I have a crotch as intended for women. If it shows then it shows. I am not embarrassed of it any more than I’m embarrassed of having breasts and a butt.

It’s a box for your box.

The design on The Smooth Groove looks like a fat penis. The head of the penis at the top of the pic. Can you see it??
loading...
Models do not use that. I’ve been a model for over ten years and done countless David Jones shows. We just don’t use that.
loading...
Very obvious here!

I think if you have some public hair you don’t get camel toe (as there is some natural thatching/ padding).
loading...
Legendary costume designer Edith Head once said, “Your dresses should be tight enough to show you’re a woman and loose enough to show you’re a lady.”
loading...
Maybe her vagina is so toned and taut she does not get camel toe!
loading...
You mean vulva, yes? The vagina is the inside passageway!
loading...
Oh, sweet Jesus, here we go again with vagina vs vulva. I think we all knew what Anon was talking about, sheez.
loading...
Yes, let it go another single woman!
loading...
Uh, yeah OK good idea. An anonymous person told me to pack up my opinion on an open forum, I’m gonna do THAT! *laughing HARD*
loading...
LET IT GO!
loading...
i prefer to call them my please hole. or my sperm depository

Reminds me of the ‘camel toe cup.’ Google it…. This could be good for girls who walk around in ‘mumblers’ even outside the gym. They are called this because: “You can see the lips move, but you can’t hear what they’re saying.”
loading...
Hahaha… reminds me of the ‘camel toe cup.’ Google it.

Pity someone hadn’t handed out a few SmoothGrooves to our female Olympians, particularly the cyclists. Definite need for a redesign of those outfits. Lots of the other countries had a dark colour on the bottom half, we had yellow. Sort of highlighted the body shapes.
loading...
Oh, give them a break! Anna just won gold for Australia. Those girls, yellow bottoms or otherwise, are sexy, fit, confident women, and are great role models.
loading...
It doesn’t matter what colour – cyclists pants will almost always give the appearance of a camel toe due to the padding. Being a cyclist, I would much prefer the false camel toe than the real effects of not wearing the padding!!
loading...
Because yes, the way our female athletes look is the most important thing.
loading...
As my boyfriend pointed out (he got a bit jealous of me looking at photos of Miranda Kerr in a swimsuit and all of a sudden got interested!) – its clearly built into the fabric design of the swimsuit so that it sits that way.
I have to agree- swimsuits are built amazingly nowadays, doubt anyone needs such a gadget for such an expensive swimsuit!
P.s I also think this looks like an advertisement for SmoothGroove. And if it isn’t- they should be sending a box of samples your way for excellent product placement!

Ah… Mamamia, you need to research a bit more.. she has a camel toe in this picture of her on DJs facebook page

Classic post. I love that you go ‘there’.

Having grown up in the cameltoed 70s with everything from tight jeans to tight bikinis & no bra etc.. i am dismayed at how women now hide their breast shape, live in fear of pokie nipples & heaven forbid have a front bottom to admire = wtf? No wonder there is so much surgery & body image issues nowadays with all this sensationalised garbage dumped on womankind !
loading...
Hooray! Now we can all shove a miniaturised shoehorn into our knickers and pretend we don’t have a vagina!
loading...
Well, given that Miranda is so ‘perfect’ at everything else (‘I gave birth naturally without pain relief, I’m such a hero’), I’d say it’s highly unlikely she would ever get camel toe and would therefore not need to use this. No doubt she will tell all about it and atribute it to two tablespoons of coconut oil a day, some noni juice and an organic diet. Oh and the use of overpriced Kora products.
loading...
LOL!
loading...
Rwoar!! Jealous much?
loading...
reow!
loading...
It does happen to models

Oh wow. Proof that she’s not wearing a smoothgroove, right there.
loading...
Hahahahaha! That’s hilarious
loading...
no hilarious at all. Normal. Totally Normal.
loading...
“Camel toe solutions” is really not a phrase I expected to hear today. Or, in fact, ever.
loading...
LOVE Jessica Gomes’ outfit – anyone know who the designer is?
loading...
This looks like an advertisement for smooth groove to me.
loading...
I can assure you it’s not!

Thanks for letting us know Jamila – I thought I was going mad for a minute there!
loading...
Wow camel toe so its finally come to this? Took me a while to work out what you meant…thanks for the photo now I know…Is it the brazilians? Is this a new phenomenon? Does having pubic hair mean this doesn’t happen?
loading...
Miranda looks amazing. I just hoovered a lemon curd cup cake and lots of icing from the bowl. Can you do that then look as good as Miranda in a white swimsuit?
loading...
Nope, and I choose the cupcake!!
loading...
We’re still doing the fake tan thing, aren’t we?
loading...
I don’t get camel toe when I wear a one piece, I don’t know why Miranda would when she only has to wear it for a minute or two.
loading...
We don’t squeeze mens bits into a mould when on the catwalk so why are we hiding womens? Just asking.
loading...
After the olympics I reckon there’s someone out there who’s about to make a bucket load out of mad-restraints!
loading...
Miranda looks amazing. I just hoovered a delicious lemon curd cup cake and lots of icing from a bowl. Can you do that then look as good as Miranda in a white bathing suit?
loading...
Ewwww, I can’t imagine wearing that ‘shoehorn’ in my pants.
Miranda Kerr doesn’t have camel toe because what she’s wearing doesn’t have a seam along the groove. Simple.
Best solution to avoid camel toe is to purchase pants that actually fit properly and don’t have a seam that pulls tight right along the groove.
Or was this post just an ‘advertorial’ for SmothGroove?

I have this problem when ever I wear a swim suit! It is partly the reason I now don’t go swimming anymore, at all, or own a bathing suit.
- Sorry is this is a double up, my other post seemed not to work!
loading...
I’ve often wondered this myself. The mind boggles
loading...
Lol .. it took me a moment or three to work out what camel toe was.
loading...
Duct tape could work too.
It would serve the double purpose of freshening up your Brazilian when removed.
loading...
Thank you for that mental image and for helping me discover the ability to wince and laugh simultaneously.
loading...
Duct tape, that’s hilarious.
loading...
My money is on her having a plastic mound, like Ken
loading...
My big tip: having pubic hair will ensure you avoid instances of camel toe!
Hence I never have that problem

These girls must have a seriously good laser/waxing situation going on. Imagine that level of bikini line scrutiny.

Just looking at all the photos here, Sarah De Bono has star quality !
