Actually there isn't anything to get rid of them. They will fade eventually, and as for many of them. It's not something you may predict.
Until they fade, as you look at them, think of them as love. Because you got them by making love, to the father of your precious little baby. They can be badge of honor, sprinkled with
much love, for that newest little soul you brought into this world.
Would you have decided not to have this bundle, if you knew of the stretch marks before hand? I, truly think, not.

Stretch marks can also be gotten during puberty; I've got a good amount of them on my hips, from widening I suppose (but that's not necessarily a bad thing, either 
), but they've faded since then. I've also got some on my arms from what I'm assuming is recent weight loss.
As for getting rid of them, I've heard of creams you can buy over the counter, such as Mederma, but many people have told me that nothing works.

what's wrong with stretch marks?
A couple of my ex's had streetch marks, and honestly, I never found them at all unattractive. They sure were self conscious about them though...
Whenever they wanted to chastise themselves or insult their streetch marks, I would kiss them, and tell them that I loved all of them, including those hard to notice marks. If they were nude, I would kiss their stretchmarks, saying "I love these".

Hate those damn things, if anyone can find a "cure" they'll be RICH.
I have never had kids... mine are from weight loss and gain....and loss...
as I get older I think to myself, if I ever have children... I'll pass on this information... I will teach them that you only get one body, it's not something you can never trade in for a better model... it may not be perfect or what you think you want, but it's yours, so take care of it and it will take care of you.

I actually went through laser treatment to get rid of some annoying stretch marks on my lower thighs... they've since faded... but I'm not sure if that's what they would have done naturally or if the laser treatment actually helped any ::shrugs::. It felt like a tiny hot needle stabbing my legs repeatedly where the doctor pulsed the laser... and for some reason I found that to be very pleasant. But then I'm a weirdo, lol.
Anyhow, I've realized that most people don't even notice my scars unless I'm a moron and point them out... so, even though I look in the mirror and they appear to be horrifying... most of our blemishes are only dramatized in our minds.

I have them on my arms. There is nothing that can be done. They will fade in time.

Stretch marks are sexy...
...and if you didn't live so far away, maybe I would tell you that.
The right partner will love you for/with/regardless of them, they will be a non-issue in their mind.
When I look at a woman, I do not see a stretch mark LOL

Stretch marks...blech! They fade but never go away, and after I had my daughter I tried all kinds of creams, etc. to no avail. The only thing that I've found that makes them less noticeable is to get a good tan.

Hi everyone!!!!!
Be who you are, not who you see everyone else being.
I got mine from birth of four children. I'll be DANGED if I'll use lasers to take them off. Hurt enough gettin the darned things!
Accept me as I am baby
All men and women are beautiful creatures, one way or the other. Stretch marks add to the decorRunicRath said:Well, now that I think about it, mine do look kind of interesting...they go in parallel lines, like I was scratched by a big cat or something...*rar*

I gained most of them during puberty! I dispised them, but had to accept them! THEN I had my first baby by cesarean at 41, and let's say I didnt exactly bounce back to my girlish figure of..... 10 LOL Anyway, love them or hate them they are yours now and forever.. AMEN... I learned to get over the bashfulness of them.. And my lover of 20 yrs has no problem with them... They fade, ect.. just learn to love yourself... the outside doesnt count..

They are part of who you are and what you've done in your life. Like the internal scars that no one else can see - They represent something that went into making you who you are
They are a part of you and whoever loves you, will love them.

there's a new product out called 'bio-oil' (rose hip oil and PurCellin oil) and it claims to reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
i've used it on scarring, and it did work for that, but i can't tell about stretch marks - i only have 1 stretch mark after having 3 kids (1st was 9 pounds, 2nd was 13 pounds, and 3rd was nearly 15 pounds.)
and i'm damned if i'm gonna treat that single stretch mark as something to be 'got rid of' - it's my only proof of having kids!
(btw, my mother, grandma, and all my aunts have hundreds, so i guess there's no real genetic predisposition!)

The number of marks one gets from puberty, weight fluctuations,or bearing children, depends on the genetic make up of the skin. Some are more suseptable to scaring or marring of the skin..There are no creams or magic oils to help.. although they may ease the discomfort of itchy skin due to expansion.

I have heard CoCo butter can help a lot. I don't know if it is true or not. But i think men shuld think anything about a women is sexy.
Snowballz said:i also have stretch marks on my hips look like veins coming through looks weird
Are you sure those are stretch marks and not varicose veins?
I have stretch marks. I notice them all the time. My man doesn't give a damn, and no one else even seems to know they are there. I agree with Tania_Rides...we always see the imperfections in ourselves long before anyone else does, and we make a bigger deal of them than anyone else ever will.
Don't worry about them. They are just a part of lovely you.
