Embracing your stretchmarks...

over a year ago

I'm absolutely not fishing for compliments here (my stretchmarky bits aren't on show here) but I've recently acquired a bigger, lumpy and pretty dark stretchmark on my stomach with a few similar littler ones near it. Naturally I have a few on the side of my boobs which have faded quite a bit, but these new ones have knocked my confidence a bit!

I need help with accepting them!

Accept them.

I know blokes give it all that about not fancying a woman unless she’s better looking than a supermodel and could suck a tennis ball down a garden hosepipe but the truth is that we’re so grateful to get a woman naked that a few marks on the skin make no difference

I love the look and feel of strechmarks. Bio oil (I've been told) can help reduce the appearance, but why cover up or hide the natural changes the body goes through.

You are a gorgeous lady and im sure have a personality that fit's, and that's what matters.

Guys seem to love mine but I hate them. Had them since i was in my twenties they have all faded but they are almost transparent in places. But guys seem to like them for a weird reason.

I think its all about the package. You have a wonderfully sexy figure and that will just add to the attraction x

I personally, spelt wrong I think, hate mine but others don't seem to care or pay any attention to them. I've got them all over some have faded with time others not so much.

I also have very blotchy skin as I have psorissis.

I hate mine. I hate my tummy full stop. I hide it as much as I can. I remember the first time someone went to kiss it. I froze in fear that he would recoil and run. He didn't. It was a bit of a life changing moment for me. While I'm still not confident or embracing it in the way I wish I could, I no longer fear it.

Maybe not, but the point I’m trying to make is that it matters less to most blokes than the colour of a woman’s eyes. She’s got brown eyes, what the hell, if she’s fun to be with and wants to get naked the stretch marks, eye colour or many other things don’t matter

I had some with my first child, many moons ago. They have faded now. I don't like them, but I don't hate them either. I know there will be some who will be turned off by them, but I have no control over that, so don't dwell on it

I feel the same way. 3 kids and fluctuating weight over the years have left me with a stomach I don’t care to share, but I always find an outfit or two to cover the bits I’m not happy with and no one has ever complained.

I had two large babies and it left me with a lot of stretch marks and an apron, but even though I hate it I have had it kissed and carressed by several partners over the years so it can’t be as horrendous to them as it seems to me

I have tons of stretchmarks! On my belly, on my boobs, inner thighs, groin, calves and probably on my ass too! All from pregnancy.

I don't really notice them anymore, its just me. Nothing I can do about them, scars of battles won in my opinion.

Embrace them doll! Most men worth their Salt won't even notice them. I'm sure you look fantastic!

Exactly this. Not all women hate their stretch marks because they worry men won't find them attractive. It's about self perception and how it makes the woman feel.

I understand that, but demonstrating that stretch marks are no more than a part of who you are will hopefully help a bit.

I’m no oil painting myself but if a woman pointed and laughed at me naked I might get self conscious. If she planted her moist lips on my kisser and hugged me I’d probably feel less self conscious

20 years ago I hated my stretch marks..but I have never had a guy in a relationship or a random fuck comment on them so now at my grand old age I don't give a flying fuck..in the same way I wouldnt be bothered by freckles or scars.

All those women magazines are airbrushed to fuck. I am so pleased Rihanna has released pix with all her perfect imperfections unairbrushed.

But it's how I view it. I'm a woman. Are you saying I have male logic? Sorry that's bollocks. I just have self confidence that many seem to be lacking for whatever reason.

I have stretch marks and a big tummy. When I was first joined Fab I was hugely embarrassed by it, would die rather than be naked and felt I would never get a meet. Fast forward a year and although I’ve not dancing about nude all the time, there have been a 2 or 3 guys that I’ve actually got fully naked with and it’s been ok. One was even with the lights on and not under the covers! He made me feel it was ok to do that, and although for whatever reason we don’t really chat now,which makes me a bit sad, I’ll be forever appreciative of the fact he gave me the confidence to do that.

You are beautiful, find the right guys to play with who will help you believe that.

I've had stretch marks since puberty. I was a skinny kid but got them when my hips grew.

I'm now covered after kids and weight gain/loss.

They used to bother me a lot but not so much now.

I think you will find more people have them than not.

Oh no stretch marks, the horror. If you stood naked in front of a group of strangers I seriously doubt anybody would give them a second look if they even noticed them at all. Everybody has things they dont like about themselves and are usually tiny details nobody cares about, we build it up in our own heads into something massive when its not. How about instead of getting worked up about a tiny detail on your body try being proud of your sexy figure or your spankable bum, pretty eyes or nice smile.

I used to absolutly hate mine, still do to a point however, since being on here i have discovered that people, either a) dont notice them or b) arent bothered by them or c) are just very polite and dont draw attention to them. Either way i am a little more accepting of them.

They are part of me, part of what makes me me and if they dont like them that they can happily pass me by x

I have them on my boobs, stomach, hips going round to my back and legs. Sixteen years of fade but still very noticeable, I've had one or two nasty comment on here as you can see them in some pics but never in person. I'm very lucky that I have the confidence that I do as they don't bother me at all it is what it is, I have no problem getting naked in front of a guy or walking around naked in a club or whatever or having them on shown in an outfit. If someone doesn't want me because of them the doors over there send in the next guy on your way out.
