stretch marks after pregnancy...anyone?

You can either use tons of make up and photoshop or just accept that most people have them somewhere. Google celebrities with stretchmarks and see how many images you find.

Bio oil can help them to fade a bit more. You will always find a nice swim suit that will cover them, and really, not many people would notice them. Those who do... well, they aint worth it.

I have a nice saggy tummy and front bum effect if I wear tight jeans, stretch marks just don't really bother me that much.

We've all had body changes and look different after having children than we did before. You need to accept the stretchmarks are part of you now and look at ways of covering them with make up or wear clothing that flatters your best bits.

Bikini's can still be worn if you want. People come in all sorts of shapes and sizes - some that flatter bikini's and some that don't but they still wear them. Do you really sit and analyse everyone else's body when you're on holiday? I bet you don't and I bet nobody will be sitting analysing your stretch marks either.

I'd rather look a bit messier and have three beautiful children that I love to bits, than have a perfect body and a huge childless hole in my life

I have stretchmarks and i used to not like them either, But now i actually love them ~(but dont want anymore of them lol) but they are a part of me and if i wore a two piece and it showed them I really do not care about others. Its just like anything on my body its ME why hide what you are or what you have because of others?

Learn to love them, they are part of what makes you, YOU

i have a few stretch marks on my stomach and also have an olive skin, I do think my stretch marks are a bit more noticeable than my friends who has really pale skin so her silver stretch marks are hardly noticeable

I am now in my 30s and although they are not my favourite thing I have learned to live with them, I will wear a bikini and not be that bothered. I am quite slim size 8-10 and didnt have any stretch marks prior to being pregnant but developed really sensitive skin during my pregnancy and made my skin really dry so think this is why I got stretch marks as I didnt have a very big bump.

you will always be more conscious of your stretch marks than anyone else, they are just one more thing for us women to feel self conscious about
