  • I had these massive stretch marks all the way across my back for about 2-3 years and my mom bought this stuff called "Elizabeth Grant: Essence of Torricelumn " and it has cleared them up so fast its amazing. It is a bit expensive, but you don't use a ton of it and it is soooo worth it! I thought maybe mentioning it might help some people like it helped me. btw, this isn't an ad or anything, just a testimony basically.

    Umm I have stretch marks but they are not noticeable at all. You can only see them from up close but for some odd reason when I wear a tight white shirt my stomach looks like it has bumps all over my midsection. So my stretch marks are not noticeable but for some reason they are bumpy, but they're not deep stretch marks (I hope that makes sense). So when I touch my stomach, it's very smooth, but they look like I have dots all on my midsection.

    My husband thinks that if I'm able to lose the weight and tighten up the skin, the bumps and dots might just go away.

    I am 3 stone overweight and have terrible stretch marks but last year in turkey I did wear a tankini. To be honest there are some people on the beach who really dont care what they look like so i shouldnt worry - go for it!

    get a tattoo

    Don't get a tattoo over stretch marks unless your artist knows what they are doing! If they press too hard the ink will bleed into the stretch mark and you'll have a weird streaky tattoo.
  • I had my daughter at age 15 and my body went from 90 pound teen to a 125 pound mommy. Yes, its been 16 years ago but my stretchmarks still remain.. I used to be very self consious about them but I have learned to accept them as a part of myself. Luckily I didnt get any on my stomach, but hips and thighs YES.. My advice is wear that bikini proudly girl!!! Im sure you are working your *kitten* off (literally)...lol.. So be proud of your body and be a rocking hot mom... stretchmarks and all....
