i would like to wear a bikini on the beach this summer instead of boy shorts, i have a toned, fit body but i started getting stretchmarks in high school, i work out 3 times a week and nothing seems to help so now i'm just looking to cover them up instead of getting rid of them

i dont know why they appeared maybe you went through growth spert or something? idk...but i know or heard that you can use coco butter or shea butter to prevent stretch marks..i think thats what preg. women do to help prevent them? sorry i am not much of a help. oh and also i think if the stretch mark is red it can go back (maybe i am not totally sure) but if its white its there perment.

I actually really did well- the spa was a nice place and the gal was great. I lost 2.5 inches off my midsection alone and it did not come back! At the time I was a womens size 16. I am now a teen size 10 but I still hate my arms- thats 38 lbs from excercise and diet- so I want to go back and have my arms done before the holidays- I was very pleased at how nice it made my skin feel too- I consistaly lost something everywhere thru the series of 4 that I had done and would do it again.(the seaweed smells ugh though-make sure your going straight home after because you can't shower till 8 hours past-also where non special underclothes as they get seaweed gunk on them and a change of undies to wear home with a plastic bag for the worn ones---- it does wash out

Good job on the additional comment you made - getting out of your comfort zone. I absolutely encourage you to continue that. However, a water park really requires something that you will be comfortable in, and certain that you won't lose it. If it's a two piece that's pretty sturdy, then go for it. If it ties or is even the slightest bit loose, top or bottom, go shopping for another suit. Why spend the day worrying about your clothes, when you're supposed to be having fun? Either way, take something to cover up with. And wear sunscreen. Lots and lots of sunscreen. (I just got fried on my vacation, so it's really fresh in my mind.)

I had lipo done on my stomach as well as my "love handles" 3 weeks ago and i am so happy with the results... i went to Tijuana Mexico becuase its so inexpensive there and i chose a surgeon who was educated here in the states... i couldnt be happier with the way i look..tell me this though besides the fact that you have had children ( i have 2 myself) how is the elasticity of your skin.. do you have a lot of stretch marks or did your skin bounce back fairly well ? that is what makes the difference becuase after they "suck out the fat cells" it takes a little while for your skin to adjust depending on the elasticity.. anyway feel free to IM or Email me with questions

More cat ears...I love em...As you probably know, at least in America we are programmed to see and except ONLY beautiful and flawless, no imperfections.  Must be perfect eye color, hair, tan, shape etc.  Truth is we do want those things but most common sense adults know that can't always be so.  Stretch marks are a part of life and are accepted.  I don't think you'll be shunned by any one even if they are noticeable. When I see the marks on a woman who has worn scanty clothing it just doesn't bother me. I just think she has had a baby or lost weight.  It's not "icky" or anything like that.

I can't speak for every man, just myself. Stretch marks mean nothing to me. It wouldn't matter to me at all if my girlfriend had them.\n\nWith that said, if it bothers you so much, why don't you try one of those stretch mark removal creams that are on the market?

well, you weigh 105, so you are certinly not fat. just eat, healthy, and excersize. and about the stratch marks, try "palmers cocoa butter for stretch marks". it really works.

Topical lotions won't really help, since most of the redish streaks that you see are actually under the top layer of skin, in the fatty layer.  What happens is the skin has to expand rapidly during pregnancy, and this stretching happens so quickly that sections of fatty tissue actually pull apart, giving the stretch marks their appearance and texture.  They will fade in time, sometimes even growing a shade lighter than the surrounding skin.\n\nLike baldness "remedies" for men, there are many products on the market that claim to elliminate stretch marks, and they're really effective--at elliminating money from your checkbook.  You might try setting up an appointment with a dermatologist, as some stretch marks can be treated via laser, and there's a perscription lotion named Retin-A that can penetrate the skin deeply enough to catch some of the smaller ones, providing that these marks are still pink.  Since you stated that you had your son six years ago (congratulations on that, by the way, mom!), I'd serriously doubt that it would work, however.\n\nSorry I couldn't bring better news!

Lunges are really good for legs & your bum.  I like Shape's "Bikini Body" or a title similar to that.

Use the lotions they have now with a small amount of self tanner in them. In about two weeks you'll have a really nice, even, natural looking cancer free tan that won't age you one bit. I use them and they work great. I don't do the lying out in the sun thing anymore. I'd rather be white as ghost and still look 25 when I'm 45 than worship the sun and look like a raisin by the time I'm 35.

um, well, i've seen water bras coming back into stores...if you really want to increase your bust, invest in 1 or 2 of those...other than that, i can't really help you.  i have always had the exact opposite of your problem.  if it were possible, i'd send some of mine to ya :-)

You're just going through rapid growth right now and sometimes the skin can't handle the quick changes.  Make sure you moisturize those areas well.  Cocoa butter is an old standby that actually helps a lot.  Use the kind that comes in an oil with vitamin E.  This helped my niece when she had this same problem a couple of years ago.  With time and care, the stretch marks will fade as your body grows into itself.\n\nps.\nYou are NOT overweight.

There is a cream called Bikini Zone that I'm sure you can purchase at any store.  It's not just for the bikini area because that's what I use for mine and I was surprised that I had less of a breakout the first use.  It takes a time or two before you'll be totally bump free.  Just be sure and not get it on your 'sweet spot'.

stretchmarks are impossible to get rid of, but if you use cocoa butter on them every day, they will fade quicker
