Ahhhhh, thank you.
My family has always told me that you only get stretch marks if you're "fat"/overweight/obese.
Goddamnit. They killed my self-esteem for years.

Now, I'm adding ScarZone and cocoa butter to my shopping list.

Me too. My mom tells me I get them cause I'm too fat.

I just found some cocoa butter =X YAY.

Anyone can get stretchmarks. I'm 5'3", 94 lbs. and I have stretchmarks on my inner thighs which I got from doing yoga. Our teacher was a complete snob (I wanted to strangle her on several occasions lol) and threatened to kick us out of the class room if we couldn't touch our nose to our knees within like one week, etc. They eventually fade- the new ones are a purple/blue shade then they fade so don't worry. Who's going to be looking that close to your thighs when your in a bathing suit anyway? Don't worry about it!

oh hell yeah.. I was wondering when someone was gonna say that. They say coco buter works, but I don't see anything happening. I guess its cuz I got lazy and stopped putting. lol Besides, that stuff's stinky! I got TONS of stretchmarks when I got pregnant, and they're slowly going away but I know they won't so away forever.

it's weird but I think massages also help them go away.
