Do you have stretch marks?

Question

If so, where?

I never really had them. They only started to develop when I started to loose weight. On my stomach around my bellybutton, and on my hips. They're an insecurity of mine, but luckily my boyfriend doesn't care. He has them too, and he's fit!

Also, are you insecure about them?

I do. Damn you puberty. I use to feel really bad about them. I really wanted to wear a bathing suit in public. But they're on my high thigh area, so right where the bikini string is, that's where they are. And now, I'm ok with just wearing shorts or a swim skirt in public, and I still feel pretty and functional. I definitely plan to get laser treatments done on them later down the road. But they don't affect my life because I don't go to the beach much anyway. And my boyfriend, and guys in general, have never said anything mean. So, I have them, but I'm not insecure in my mind because they don't make me feel bad. I choose to not show them off, but I don't feel ugly because of them.

Yeah, I used to be literally morbidly obese. 18 stone my the time I was 14-15 I've lost the weight over the past 4 years and I'm now pretty muscular. I finally could see my 6 pack last summer. However I can still see my old stretch marks if I look closely. I had them really bad. They will fade over time

/facepalm a poll with two questions and not enough selections.

I have stretch marks around my inner thighs.. maybe it came from cycling/running/squats, it occurs occasionally and i get new ones every month or so. I dont care too much about it.

GirlsLie · Answer

I've had them over the years, through my teenage years I had them off and on but luckily it wasn't a lot and they were the white kind so they weren't very noticeable. A few years ago I got sick and lost like 20lbs in a month and I got a few on my hip/side and they were the darker kind so I got some Bio-Oil and it made them white, then they went away almost completely now, you can barely see them. You should try Bio-Oil, some people said it didn't work for them at all but it worked for me. I also used it on a scar i've had on my knee and it's lightened it.

DodgersGM · Answer

I have some, yeah. Also from weight gain/loss. They almost disappear after losing weight and taking care of your skin.

I can understand why you'd be insecure about them, but you'll overcome that with time. Very few people are without them, and very few people actually care about them. :)

fauchelevent · Answer

I have them. I have a few on my hips, my thighs and my ass. Basically everywhere I developed with my damn pear-shaped body :P I'm not insecure about them. My boyfriend has them vertically along his back, like down his shoulder blades, from growing so tall, and he's a little more insecure about his back than I am about my stretch marks but ehh, neither of us really care that much.

Jxpxtxr · Answer

I have some on the inside of my thighs but they're quite old and basically turned the same colour as my skin tone by now so you will only notice them if you look really closely like basically stick your head between my thighs and I probably won't let you do that lol so I don't really care about them :P don't mind them on others either

Thatweirdone_ · Answer

I have inner thighs and like on my love handles
They're not like super visible unless you really look
But they're there
From all the time I said no to healthy food and yes to junk food when I was little
I'm more insecure about my cellulite
Stretchmarks don't phase me tbh

Even skinny people get stretchmarks from growing. My fit ex-boyfriend grew like 6 inches in one year and has stretch marks all over his thighs. He's been fit all his life too. Most people don't care about them. You can use creams to lighten them or get them lasered off if they bother you.

loofah · Answer

I have a few little ones on my hips. Bio Oil and Cera Ve Stretch Mark cream significantly reduced them. Good stuff!

MissNowhere · Answer

I don't think so. At least I've never noticed them. Perhaps I'm not even 100% sure what they're supposed to look like :S

javi89 · Answer

Worst poll ever, two question only one answer O_O But yes, I have stretch mark. No I don't feel insecure. Why: everybody over certain age has them

BritishMarshmallow · Answer

I have them between my biceps and shoulders on side of my arm where my armpit is.

I put on 10kg in a year when I went to college.

I don't like them, and I'm worried some girls might find them unappealing. Luckily, they're going silver, and I use body butter to help ^^

quinoaflakes · Answer

Yep. On the inside of my thighs and a little bit on the top of my arm from gaining weight when i was younger. I got skinny then, they don't bother me because they're just stretch mark's and basically everyone has them. It's no big deal really.

Aarron · Answer

i would say i'm pretty fit and do sports and such but suddenly have 2 little stretch marks on my ass >.< 2 tiny ones on each cheek and they're symmetrical, its prob just when i fully developed i grew a perky man bum xD

Sweetbrunette305 · Answer

I do have them on my butt. I don't feel insecure about them as much as I don't like them. It's part of being human.

bedroomeyes · Answer

I have stretch marks, and they don't bother me at all. Some of them aren't as visible as they were when I was younger, but even if they were, I don't particular care as they are flesh toned. Any guy who really pesters me about my stretch marks is a pansy.

RachelBrigs · Answer

On my butt. They used pink and ugly but they faded to white. And my ass is pretty white so you can't really see them.  I used to be insecure about them before they faded

Lady7 · Answer

I started having them when i was loosing weight too. I have stretchmarks on my hips and buttocks, the ones on my butt doesn't really bother me cause most people have it, though the ones on my hips does.

rgb008 · Answer

My inner thighs, lower stomach, butt (they're white now, kind of faded).

Im not insecure about them. My boyfriend doesn't care.

justbanANNAz · Answer

yeah i got some around my thighs and butt, and just a few on my hips that i actually like lol.

Cmasterson · Answer

The side of my butt, I haven't really noticed them- not really because I know it's common to have them!

Gooseman · Answer

First of all, you young ladies should not be concerned about stretch marks. They are a sign of beauty. I didn't see anyone mention pregnancy causing them... so if the little ones on your hips, love handles, butt and boobs bother you... keep your legs closed because pregnancy will screw you over!

phil2 · Answer

I do, and I don't have any insecurities about them because they are from two pregnancies. Yah, so what?

ElissaDido · Answer

Yes I do, it's nothing dramatic though, they're not that visible and they actually don't bother me at all. I have some on my hips

cookiesandcream · Answer

thighs, butt, hips, and knees but i don't think anyone's noticed them of if they've had no one mentioned them to me

LastFlowers · Answer

None that I know of, but I haven't really had rapid growth spurts or anything like that to cause them.

ThisAndThat · Answer

I have marks and some have said they are stretch marks even some doctors have said that. But they most definitely aren't stretch marks they are hives or wheals cause stretch marks don't behave the way the ones I have do.

Dez22 · Answer

I've always been skinny not fit, but i have stretch marks on my ass and boobs

lexythelou22 · Answer

I have them on my stomach from gaining weight too rapidly recently, I hate them.

Skydas · Answer

I've always been fit and always had low body fat % so that kind of crosses out the weight loss situation. I have stretch marks around my hips and I think I probably got them because of growing so fast :P I used to be really short and when I hit puberty I got like way taller and really fast. Not many stretch marks but I do have them.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes i do, in my hips and up between my legs... they're not very visible and they're white, not purple or red like some i've seen before. I always had them because of my weight changes, i was very fat when i was a kid but not so much now...

On my butt, I'm not really insecure about it but I wish it would of actually done something instead of the same size since I'm insecure of my butt sometimes.
