Which direction do your stretch marks go?

Mine are small little waving lines going horizontal down my belly. But all the stretch marks I've ever seen are vertical going across the belly.

    mine are diagonal, like forming a broken letter V along side and below my belly button. whatever direction they go, they suck.

    Mine are vertical on both sides of my belly button. It looks like a mountain lion raked its claws down the sides of my belly. Sad

    Mine run across my belly and are really light, pray the stay that way.

    Mine swirl around my belly button.  Imagine what the doppler image of a hurricane looks like, only my belly button is the eye of the storm.  So gross.

    Dont get mad at me... I haven't gotten any, yet. I am also on the more umm, voluptuous side. Perhaps that makes a difference.

    Yeah I'm not enjoying watching them spread out as the weeks progress. They just appeared about 4 weeks ago and are taking over the surface of my belly. And my poor belly button is still struggling not to become an outie the poor thing is puffed the whole way around but it still hasn't popped shockingly

    Mine go vertically on my love handles, and right above my rear end they are also vertical (but I can only see those in a mirror).

    Edited to correct which way they go. Sorry!

    The couple I have so far are on my hips, vertical. Also on my boobs, mostly on the top side, & radiate out from my areola.

    Yep, this but replace sides of my belly with my whole belly.

    Vertical under my belly button, but the ones on the sides of stomach where tummy meets hips are horizontal. I think it all depends on how the skin grows. From puberty I've always had horizontal stretch marks on my hips and vertical ones on my thighs.
