As someone working in women's health, Dr. Marcy Crouch thought she had seen it all - until she discovered a pair of pants from Target.
The physical therapist recently took to TikTok to slam the sweatpants after she noticed they had an unflattering design.
In the video, Dr. Crouch help up the light tan pants, which came from a collaboration between Champion and Target, explaining that her friend had purchased them from the girls' section of the chain.
The pants had a thick, elastic waistband with pleats at the front - including one right in the middle - with a slight flare at the bottom.
After trying the pants on, Dr. Crouch stood back from the camera and showed off the issue - the pleat in the middle stretched out in a strange way and looked like women's genitals.
'When I’m talking to you, this is what you see,' she said, before sharing a message to Target: 'Do better.'
She captioned the clip, 'Someone made the decision to make this, and then multiple people in multiple meetings approved it.'
Reviews on the Target website showed a similar problem, with many people sharing pictures showing the pleats sitting in a similar way to Dr. Crouch's.

It's a classic case of it looks better on the model or the hanger than it does on an actual woman's body.
In fact this one of the worse cases I've ever seen.
I suspect women who actually want to try to wear this might want to go up in a size and see if that helps, other wise a woman has to have a body type like twiggy to wear it.
My honest opinion.
Anyone named Dr. Crouch would have to be an expert on this.
You mean artificial labia should not magically appear on women’s slacks?
Ok. Yeah. I can see the camel toe effect.
His colleague Dr. Crotch is even more of an expert.
I'm flat out of eye wash.
It’s Target. Chances are they’re designed for non-female women of the masculine persuasion and not, you know, actual women.
I’m an old woman. Wore pleated skirts and hip-pleated skirts in the 60’s, so I find nothing wrong with the design. I wouldn’t want bell-bottom pants however. Wore enough of those in the 60’s too. With the extra pleated space and the bell-bottoms, they look like something Moochie Obama would wear, to give his big, black ass more space to fit in, and more area to hide his Crown Jewels.
I expect no less from Targay. First the queer/trans stuff now this.
It’s a ridiculous design choice. I don’t know if it was intentional but someone should have noticed it to go to market. Someone signed off on it, multiple people likely including the buyers at the retailer. Someone perhaps *wanted* that look. It’s different. I presume it’s not been done before and *maybe* there is a market for people who actually like that idea/look.
Personally I find it tasteless and unappealing.
“It’s Target. Chances are they’re designed for non-female women of the masculine persuasion and not, you know, actual women.”
You know I suspect you are correct! The more I look at that design, the more there is something off about it. I’ve made pants over the years and I’ve never seen that before.
What does this have to do with Health?
They had pleated pants with pleats right down the centerline of your hips?
Target specializes in UGLY. Not surprised by this one.
No, I specifically said pleated skirts. When I went to grammar and high school, girls weren't allowed to wear slacks, not even culottes.
Funny, I looked at it and thought “wow that lady to too fat to wear pleated pants she should know better”.
