This fucking floors me. I don't get how anyone could come to even think of this. Seriously? First off, I am getting sick of beauty myths spreading all over my vagina. My vag is fuckin' gorgeous, and I don't need a camel-toe-fixing hunk of plastic, waxing, or hymen replacement to feel that way.
Second off, the total ignorance about female (and male) anatomy is, well, astounding.
"Camel Toe might be hot... if you are a guy!!" ... how exactly does, never mind.
"As we have evolved, hair down there is a thing of the past." Um, my vagina begs to differ. And since when does waxing have to do with evolution?
"because you don't want everyone to see your damn uterus from the outside" Thankfully, we don't have to worry about that, because the uterus is an internal reproductive organ. *groan*
And really, how many words to say 'vagina' do we need?? Fuck, they don't even actually use the word 'vagina' except when talking about 'organic vagina lips.' Organic? How about biological? Apparently, cooze and pussy are far preferable and the vagina is some crazy, organic new-age hippie crap.

Well, not to be the jerk, but for someone complaining about ignorance of anatomy...
The vagina is internal, too, and I can't imagine any level of camel toe making a vagina visible. Also pretty sure vaginas don't have hair in them.
Camel toe exaggerates the shape of the vulva, not vagina.
Yeah, that thing looks pretty ridiculous. I take comfort in the idea that people probably won't actually buy them!
Michael K. really knows how to sum things up: "You will go from looking like a biological female with organic vagina lips to looking like you've got an 8" dick tucked into your ass crack." Indeed.
"Bitch, you're vagina is hooongray!" HAHA sorry, I loved that.
But honestly, if you think about it, guys don't have to worry about their penis hanging all out because normally their pants are baggy enough to compensate. I don't know how society can expect girls to wear tight pants and not have some sort of shape-showing going on. It's also slightly ironic because often the pussy is considered the very 'object' of value (note Wanda Sykes' detachable pussy), yet people don't want to see it. Honestly, what do they expect??
I found the slideshow of celebrity camel toe pretty creepy, mostly the up-skirt shot of the tennis player. So what, we're criticizing women for having their vulva visible through their underwear now?
Female anatomy: simultaneously dirty and erotic. Let's shame and fetishize camel toe at the same time!
That said, I have to admit that I don't like having "camel toe" when I am swimming or wearing tight pants, because I worry about men staring at my crotch.
That the site admits guys think camel toes are hot and shames you for having one is really telling. "Eww look at that slut with her vulva all sort-of distinguishable!"
