CRINGEY: Kelly Brook and Kourntey Kardashian have both suffered camel toe in tight leggings

Tight leggings can be one of the worst wardrobe offenders when it comes to crotch cleavage.

But fashion forward sportswear designers have come up with a way to minimise the problem so you can feel confident you aren’t flashing too much next time you get your sweat on.

Trouser styles with a U-shaped seam help to avoid an unflattering fit in the groin area, giving ladies a smoother shape.

Jennifer Bandier, founder of high-end sportswear brand Bandier, told Who What Wear that the new legging style is both “flattering and elongating”.

She said: “Between the high waistband and seamless U-shaped inseam, these pants look amazing on everyone and eliminate any problem areas.”

It’s the first time that workout wear has been tweaked to prevent the all too common problem.

But other companies have previously dreamt up nifty solutions to banish awkward bulges or stop snug-fitting clothing from riding up.

Claiming they’ve “redefined the lines of fashion” with a revolutionary strapless thong, Shibue Couture are on a mission to eliminate embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions like camel toes and VPLs for good.

Their postage-stamp sized pants aim to give ladies a "smooth, clean silhouette" thanks to a tiny piece of fabric that is held in place by washable and re-usable silicone gel strips.

A spokesperson said: "It's one of the top fashion blunders and frankly no good on the peepers.

"We're asking everyone to get involved, stand united and direct ladies to the only place it can be erased."

Lads don’t have to feel left out either because there’s also penis-covering option called the “Hibue” so you never have to fear that dreaded moose knuckle again.
