There are many parts of Japanese culture that are undeniably excellent.
Sushi. Snow monkeys kicking back in hot springs. Karaoke. Sake. Mind-boggling Japanese game shows.
But something that doesn’t automatically get our tick of approval is the “fake camel-toe underpants” that women are apparently clamouring for.
In case anyone has been blissfully unaware of what a camel-toe is (well done, by the way), the urban dictionary defines it as “the visible cleft of the outer labia under tight clothing”.
The so-called “frontal wedgie” looks like the toes of a camel. Hence the term “camel toe”.

See the resemblance? Of course you can. It’s like looking at identical twins.
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, we can happily move on and look at why on earth anyone would want to manufacture a product that can replicate this awkward fashion fail.
The pants, which have been called “party pants” have a silicone pad in the front that “enhances” the female form.
A pair will set you back around $22 on eBay.

According to EliteReaders, the party pants have found a market with the transgender community — male genitalia can be concealed quite effectively with these magical jocks.
Weirdly they also come in a variety of skin-toned hues.

The different skin tones on offer indicate that the cup with be seen at some point. WHY?
It’s all still a bit odd because the camel-toe is a fashion accident that most women strenuously avoid. In fact, some companies such as Lululemon use their “anti-camel toe” technology as a selling point.
There have also been products released that aim to conceal the camel-toe, which at least makes a little bit of sense:

The tag line ‘our lips are sealed’ is undeniably gross.
But maybe we shouldn’t be too shocked — it’s not the first time a fashion accident has been turned into a “trend”.
Remember those god awful G-string jeans that were kicking around for a while?
It also reminds us of the C-string that was launched on Amazon a year or so ago — the plastic cuplike thing that was meant to eradicate the visible panty line.
At the time, the C-string was described on Twitter as “possibly the worst thing to happen to humanity”.
This person sums up our feelings on the latest WTF accessory:
