My mom didn't get any and neither did I </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-stretch-mark-solutions#post-647018 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 15:48:01 +0000 blackbird 647018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got stretch marks despite using bio oil and rotating hydrated-and my never got any, either </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-stretch-mark-solutions#post-646979 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 15:16:19 +0000 PrincessBaby 646979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swear by Mama Mio products...I used their oil 2x a day and did not get even a hint of a stretch mark. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-stretch-mark-solutions#post-646965 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 15:05:05 +0000 meredithNYC 646965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fully expected to get tons of stretch marks since I have had some since puberty. But, I used cocoa butter oil (Vaseline brand) twice a day every day and I only have a few. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-stretch-mark-solutions#post-646912 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 14:29:35 +0000 pui 646912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've tried a bunch of things and absolutely nothing has worked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-stretch-mark-solutions#post-646911 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 14:28:26 +0000 rawrasaur 646911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretending they don't exist and hiding them as much as possible works well for me, ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-stretch-mark-solutions#post-646848 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 13:31:19 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 646848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While yes, genetics are basically the key to stretch marks, I WOULD recommend getting a good lotion. Whether it prevents stretch marks or not, it will help with crazy-itchy, dry, stretching belly skin. You'll feel better (and smell pretty) at least! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-stretch-mark-solutions#post-646843 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 13:27:14 +0000 heartonastring 646843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadly, I think the only real solution is winning at genetic roulette! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-stretch-mark-solutions#post-646822 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 13:13:18 +0000 Springtime 646822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried everything and still got them!
