Just curious how moms with stretch marks feel with wearing their bikinis in public. Something that I have contemplated (After loosing a little more weight of course) but wasn't sure if my confidence would be up enough. I would love to see how women wear their stretch marks well.

I feel that confidence is key, and I just need to gain more of it. Lol.

I have stretch marks up to my belly button. and all over my love handles AND thighs.

    I plan on wearing mine!!! and i have stretch marks in exactly the same places as you. I think once my body is where I want it to be I won't be too ashamed of them. I think to myself...I don't really stare at anyone else who has them, so why would someone stare at mine? good luck!

    If I was as fit as you, I would too. Lol. I put a bikini on all I can think about is 'gosh everyone is going to be looking at my stretch marks' Lol. I hope that if I see enough 'moms in bikinis' that Ill be like, They look great, I can wear one too! lol

    I totally do, and I have bad stretch marks, but I've worked hard on the muscle behind the stretch marks, so you bet I show it off :)

    ...I was VERY self conscious at first, but I'm usually at the pool with my kids, so it's obvious I've had kids, and well they are part of my story! :)

    That does up my spirits some. I think if I could just get over the fear very first, like you did, then I will be okay. Maybe I just need to get over that first time. Lol

    Yeah the first time is "scary", but after you get over that it's easy. Best of luck!

    I do wear one, a normal top with boy short bottoms....My stretch marks start high up on my ribs (right under my boobs) and go down my thighs. Short lady+big babies= lots of marks!

    You know, there's always something "scary" about the first moment you bare yourself in a swim suit, regardless of whether it's a bikini. I say, the more stretch marks the general public sees, the better off we'll all be -- this is life, people! When you've worked to where you want to be with what's under that skin, you'll have deserved to show off. Go for it!

    Yup! Wore one yesterday when I went swimming. Once you get over the fear, it's quite liberating.

    I think if you are toned and they are faded stretch marks....they aren't really that obvious. At least they don't scream "look at me". I wore a bikini after my first 2 kiddos but haven't worn one this time so far (I had 2 more) but then I haven't lost all my weight yet...sooooo. We don't "do" bikinis as a family if that makes sense but I still have my old black one. I will definitely wear it if my hubby and I go somewhere just the 2 of us.

    I don't have stretch marks, or kids. I just wanted to give you my point of view.

    I think it's beautiful that you gave birth to your babies, and those stretch marks add character. I have never looked at someone and judged them by their stretch marks. I think if you feel comfortable wearing a bikini, then do it! :)

    Just like everyone else said, once you start doing it, you'll forget about it! Plus, everyone is going to be looking at your rockin' body!!!!
