I have them on my bum and boobs. Can't say i've ever done much about them really. I think they've started to fade anyway. I blame the pill :p:

. (i have gone up a cup size since being on it).

Runnin around in a bikini suits me just fine lol :biggrin:

today's a rather typical english weather: it's 'bright', but not actually sunny :frown:

what's wrong with wearing clothes? the baggier it is, the better. more is more :biggrin:

I agree wholeheartedly. Yay for winter clothes - jumpers and scarves and jeans or thick tights and boots! Forget all this mini skirt and bikini rubbish :wink:

summer is a good chance to demonstrate how you can wear your dad's old shirt with tights and a bangle - appreciate the simplicity :biggrin:

Lemme demonstrate.

okay maybe not :p:

actually i found out that the more you bare your skin during the summer, the hotter you become. if you wear light cotton stuff air circulates around and [rambles off about the physics behind it all].

Heey all! I have stretch marks (lots of them) on my bum and some down my calfs and on my knees too! My skins quite dark and the stretch marks are whitish lines now. Looks disgusting! I've tried using bio-oil but i didn't really see much of a difference.

How long would you say you rub the bio-oil in for? I usually put it on my bum.. but then it probably always rubs off when i put my clothes on and then sit on my bum lol.
Ohh.. and how much is that Palmers cocoa butter? Sounds lush :smile:

LMAO loving the errrm clothing! :biggrin:

Yea I know all that shebang about light cotton wearing clothes and etc, but I just cant stomach having too much clothes on during the summer. If i wasnt soo big busted I probably wouldn't bother with a bra either as that makes me even hotter and irritable too - but 34E's cant look after themselves and need assistance! lol :p:

The bio oil i rub in a circular motion for almost a min, to make sure its absorbed well into the skin.

Palmers Cocoa Butter costs about £2.79 (i think) - I buy from a variety of places and often dont check the prices - ooopz! So that is guestamation! lol

Bio Oil is expensive, and if you have to use it for a year to see a difference....

I'm of small size too but i used to have a real problem with stretchmarks on my inner thighs and bum. But i have adopted the following strategies that have really helped. But bear in mind, stretchmarks do fade but they never go away completely.

Use Bio Oil on the area, its not cheap but very effective and your skin is really smooth afterwards.
Body brush after a shower - buy a firm body brush and rub on skin to exfoliate and get the blood flowing.
Drink more water - very good for overall clear skin.

Yes its expensive, but it does the trick! Also it lasts a looongg time (6months roughly for the small 60ml bottle).

I haven't been using the Bio Oil on its own - I have been using the proper real cocoa butter, which I melt (in my hands) and rub into my skin. That too has helped the stretch marks and other marks on my skin. So probably why its lasted me a lot longer.

Vitamin E, Cocoa butter

I have them on my inner thighs due to legs growing from sticks into thicker legs from squatting. They are white now though and you can't see them, faded themselves, they used to be bright red.

Because I'm tanned and mine are white it looks a LOT worse.

I've got some on my hips and thighs, although they are pale and silvery now so not massively noticeable. I've used Bio-Oil and Palmers Cocoa Butter on them, I thinkBio-Oil makes the biggest difference and this was only after a short time. Definitely recommend it.

Yeah I said girls usually have them earlier but because I had no chest at all til about 6 months ago (now 32D, was about 34AAA) I'm getting them later and that hopefully they'll fade. Do they?
