writes: What could I do about stretch marks? I'm a little insecure about my body because I have stretch marks due to child birth. I want to be able to wear sexy lingerie for my husband again, but I dont feel attractive enough to do that anymore. My husband says that I look hot in anything i wear, but you know us women always want to look and have that flawless skin, and stretchmarks aren't ok with us! So does anybody out there have some good answers to how to greatly reduce the appearance or completely remove stretchmarks? I want to look and have that beautiful flawless appearance again.

 I dont think that anything entirely removes stretchmarks, but can help to fade them a little. I was always told that the best thing to do was to rub cocoa oil or creme on your bump twice daily when you are pregnant to avoid them as best you can, so maybe that works after aswell, but i dont think there is anything that will totally eradicate it. Your husband loves you as you are, focus on that rather than what you look like, if you become too self conctious about it and start worrying and he senses it and you go on about it its actually more of a turn off then having the stretch marks... he loves you for you and has accepted you exactly as you are, not go worrying unessecarily!

 Use Bio Oil, Coca Butter, Lightening Cream, Blenching Cream, Fade Cream - Theres Many You Can Try I find that the bio oil takes the long but he doesn't only remove the apppearance of stretch but the the stretch mark it self.

Even teen girls and guys get them from growth spurts and developing fast. Hun, you're husband has told you, irregardless of the stretch marks, that he thinks you are hot and loves you in anything. I hope this declaration of his means something to you. So obviously, this isn't his problem..it's your problem and it's all about a poor body self-image. Take heart, so many women have poor body images due to stretch marks. Here is the bad news, you can't get rid of stretch marks, if you have stretch marks with loose skin from having children...a tummy tuck might help but you still can't get completely rid of the little buggers. They are your badges of motherhood, dear...you have beautiful children to attest to that. The only way to deal with stretch marks is to accept them and 'forget' about them. Too bad all those air-brushed, computer-generated, shame-inducing images of those 'perfect' women we see in the magazines do not represent the realities that most of us face while pregnant, and the after effects. Realize the media is a very strong force in the false expectations, we envision about our own post-pregnancy body images. It's almost as if we should believe that after giving birth "in one week and we’ll be back in our low-cut jeans, midriff-baring t-shirts and toting our kid around like the year’s newest, trendiest accessory. Hot Mama!" Not so, dear. Learn to go deep within your pysche and love your body for what it is or this will continue to drive you nutty. As for creams, you might reduce their appearance, but you'll never fully get rid of them. I suggest you research the internet and speak with your doctor to get some information and perhaps another Aunt will have more to offer in the way of getting rid of stretch marks. Sorry Good luck, dear

 well im right there with you ive had them since i was a teenager and learned that apart from surgery nothing can get rid of them. but you can make them fade a little by using coco butter moisturiser/ other leading lotions or baby oil, they wont get rid of them completly but it helps a little. as for hiding them for showing off for your hubby, well i use baby dolls with hold-ups and french knickers it's never failed yet and he is telling you the truth when he say's your hot to him, the more confidence you protrude the more guys are attracted, so follow him if he goes phoaw you say DAMN STRAIGHT I AM the more you say it the more you'll feel it inside. hope this has helped.

 dear reader i'm not sure whether there is anything to completely get rid of them but there is something you can try its from "Avon" it says you can see a differance in just 2 weeks its called "maximum body makeover" and cost £7 normally £12 so get in quick.
but to be honest with you i have the same problem i've had 4 kids and now my tummy looks like the underground train map at the end of the day you have made them beautiful children together he wil see them as making you more attractive your his he loves you probably more now then ever before so swollow it get dolled up if you feel bad take the focus off your tum and on soemthing else (face etc...) anyway good luck i hope if you try this stuff it works for you i have yet to try it so i couldn't tell you that much but its meant to be good
all the best xxx
