Global stars from Jennifer Lawrence to Khloe Kardashian have admitted to battling it...but could the dreaded camel toe finally be a thing of the past?

According to one online fitness gear company, more and more makers of leggings, which seem to offer a one-way ticket to the camel toe, are using a special U-shaped seam to ensure the fashion faux pas doesn't happen.

The cheeky term, which describes when a woman's genitalia can be seen through her closely-fitting clothes, has been in common use for much of the last decade but could be consigned to the history books if the new inseam design takes off.

The founder behind fitness-wear company Bandier, Jennifer Bandier, says more and more designers are using the inseam to help combat the common problem when they're creating the latest must-have work-out wear.

Bandier told fashion website whattowear.co.uk that a 'high waistband and the seamless U-shaped inseam' eliminate any 'problem areas' and that if you choose a pair of leggings with the new stitching, camel toe simply can't happen.

Earlier this month, Mexican weather presenter Susana Almeida, a host on 4 Televisa Guadalajara who has been dubbed 'the world's hottest weather presenter', offered a rather unfortunate example of what not to wear on live television while broadcasting.

In a pair of grey leggings, and a skin-tight black polo-neck vest, Susana Almeida caused a storm, if you'll excuse the pun.

The footage of her camel toe has been viewed more than 255,000 times since it first aired, with one fan describing the clip on social media as: 'The greatest thing I've ever seen.'

The new-style leggings are the first time that outer clothing has been adapted to get rid of the affliction, with plenty of underwear providers previously attempting to smooth out unwanted creases.

Last year, the aptly-named Camel No underwear was launched, employing medical-grade silicone to combat the awkward silhouette.

At the time, creator Maggie Han told Mashable: 'Women don’t want to address their camel toes and think if you have a camel toe then you must have a huge vagina and that’s not it.

'The underwear itself is made of a breathable polyester and spandex blend so it's comfortable even in the warm weather.'

Elsewhere Belfast inventor, Collette McCrarren, also had a go at coming up with pants that would do away with the same problem.
