Kandy (@kandys.life.hey) has more than 14,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares her life in the Netherlands.
She took to the social media platform to reveal how she avoids an awkward camel toe situation when wearing skin-tight gym leggings.
“I'm going to give you the best method because I've tried everything,” she said.
“Many fit influencers like Krissy Cela and Mia, who I like to follow, have said they go commando in the gym.”
Kandy looked ready to workout as she donned a stylish black sports bra and gray Effortless seamless leggings, which cost $55 from One active.
However, she showed off the unwanted contours of her labia majora, which happens when she tries to go commando in the skin-tight leggings.
“Keep in mind that we are built differently,” she said, referring to her vagina.
“And she's a fat girl, so the commando thing just doesn't work for me.
“I tried the panty liner trick, a panty liner with a thong that you can fold around your panties or g-string.”
Kandy held up a thong with the panty liner wrapped around it as she explained that the hack doesn't always work.
“This worked really well to collect sweat or juices while exercising and to prevent camel,” she said.
“However, on your skin-like or seamless panty you will still see the scrunchie part of the panty liner.
“I highly recommend this if you're wearing pants with a front seam or something with a bit of texture.
“That'll take care of the camel toe.
“But when it comes to tights like these that easily show off the camel, you'll want to invest in seamless underwear with a pocket.”

Kandy suggested cutting the padded cups that come with bras to the shape of the underwear.
She demonstrated how to stuff the material into the pocket on the crotch portion of the seamless underwear, before showing what it should look like when cut correctly.
“Make sure you cut a little off the bottom because you want this line to just cover the part where it starts to split,” she said as she demonstrated.
“You don't want it too high because that will create a bulge.”
The fitness fanatic showed what the underwear should look like with the cup in and then showed what it looks like with the leggings on.
“As you can see, no camel, no funny bits, problem solved,” she said.
More than 4,100 people liked the video and Kandy assured viewers that the underwear hack stays in place even when he squats.
“Thank you for this OMD [oh my days],” one person commented.
“I'm so embarrassed when I go to the gym because I feel exposed, but I'll try the filler trick.”
“The most honest and helpful advice. Thank you,” wrote another.
“This is genius,” said a third. “Best hack of life hehe,” Kandy replied.
“You're a lifesaver… thanks for the tip!” another added.
