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. Pornographic web sites exist that are solely dedicated to publishing photographs of cameltoes. The male version of this is referred to as a "moose knuckle."

The word cameltoe generally refers to a visible cleft between the labia, as 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

The causes of cameltoe are not always obvious, especially to younger people. Cameltoe is commonly understood to occur as a result of wearing clothing under the following conditions:

Exercise shorts, stretch pants and leggings— including Lycra or spandex

Very tight-fitting jeans, shorts, hotpants, underwear or swimwear

Vigorous or repetitive exercise, including running, especially in tight clothing

Wet clothing

Wearing pants too high

However, some fashion analysts have identified the clothing design as the problem, rather than its size. Cameltoe may thus be exacerbated by:

Poorly designed jeans
