[T27570]

I've noticed that women of certain ethnicities have a tendency to 'print' the detailed outline of their outer labia and pubic region through their pants, jeans, etc. I became aware of this as a child when a black woman made a remark about a white woman who was printing deeply. She found it totally gross. A male Caucasian friend said it was called a "camel's foot." My other friends and I (who don't print for some reason) are baffled. When our clothing has an ill fit, we put on something else. Is this printing due to the structure or tilt of the pelvis, or is clothing purchased with this intent in mind?

Some women just like to show "it" off.

i have seen women of all races wearing tight things that show 'camel toe.' i think some women realize it, and try to show it off. but for others, they might not realize it. it is always possible someone has gained a few pounds and now their clothes are tighter than before.

I don't know what causes it, but I think it's great! As far as the woman who thought it was 'gross', well when people are prejudice against someone, they find anything they can about that person, qualify it as a characteristic of the entire race, and then proceed to demonize it.

Well some womens outer vagina area is fatter than some so when they wear tight pants hiked up thats when you create this 'Camel toe' as well as a 'wedgie'.

Perhaps it is because these women can't afford to buy something else. I know many women who wear hand me downs because that's all they have. I'm sure, just as with boobs, the vagina is shown intentionally by the whores of all cultures.

I've never heard it called that...interesting. But it's nothing to do with ethnic background, and all to do with the fact that the woman in question is 1) wearing her jeans so tight that it makes a print, and 2) she's not wearing any panties at all, so again, her genitals show. It's nothing to do with color, but honestly--it's kind of trifling and many guys I know think it's nasty.

It's really not a matter of wanting to show it off! Some jeans fit tight in this region especially if one is tall and overweight.

I've also heard of this and also seen this. Its people who are a little more chunky down in that area who have this... I've noticed it on more chunky people or people who wear their pants/shorts really tight!

What an interesting question to ask...I never thought to ask it but have seen many. We call them camel toes. I always have hoped that the women with camel toes don't really realize it and assumed they are trying to still get into their favorite pair of jeans after they just put on some extra pounds.

It's called 'camel toe,' generally, at least here in the South/Southwest. I've never heard it called 'printing,' either, but anyway... I'm sure it has nothing to do with the pelvis. I think it just happens when a girl wears tight pants or swim bottoms with a short inseam. Thankfully, I never have that problem (I am annoyingly short-waisted), but I think it generally happens when wearing spandex pants and is primarily unintentional when a woman stands in a certain position (although perhaps some strange girls yank it up to accentuate this part of their body - who knows?) I think magazine photographers just might encourage the camel toe, however, judging from how much of it I've seen on supermodels and Britney Spears.

i don't know if race has anything to do with it, but i do know that not all white women get it. it has nothing to do with the pelvis either. if one looks at alot of porn, even just playboy, you'll notice that some women have large 'lips' and others have vaginas so flat that the clitorus hangs out farther than the 'lips'. some women will wear tight stuff to show it off, but sometimes it can't be helped and others have nothing to show no matter how tight they wear it.

I have a high waist, so when I wear pants, the pelvis area is naturally accented. The only time this does not happen is when I wear low-waist pants, which is not always recommended in proessional environments since it shows the crack.
