Keep away stretch marks?

jdonahue623 · November 2013

I'm sure there are a zillion expensive products that say they help with stretch marks, but I don't want to waste my time experimenting!

what are preventative things I can rub on my belly to maybe just maybe decrease or lessen my stretch marks? Don't be shy with DIY ones either. My husband thinks coco butter, but I have no clue. Help!

I'm tryin out the new stretchy cream but I just started so I can only say I've heard it works well.

Lotions don't help. It's all genetics.

spread peanut butter on your belly every night for an hour before bed.

then play games to see how many raisins your husband can successful stick to the area by tossing from a 5 foot distance.

(it won't help your stretch marks, but it will make for an entertaining game

)

....sorry, i had to!! stretch marks are not preventable, so don't even worry about them. but DO lotion your belly regularly, as winter itch is no joke!

@spasticfantastic I'm playing that this weekend! Extra points if he gets it in your belly button!?!?!?

The only thing you can really do to improve your changes is nourish your body - eat healthy and get adequate fluid intake. Otherwise it's straight genetics.

That would be a miraculous feat on my body.... my belly button is already totally obliterated!

Basically what PP said. It's a genetic thing, and stretch marks occur on a deeper level of the skin than the one you're applying lotion to! That being said, I do use the Burt's Bees Mama Bee cream! Partly because the placebo effect makes me feel good, and partly because your skin still is stretching and it does get itchy and annoying. And lotion certainly can't hurt anything. Just don't break the bank thinking you're getting exactly what you're paying for.

Direct belly button hit is an automatic win.

And a BJ.
