Would you wear a bikini? I have a ton of stretch marks from pregnancy and we are going to Hawaii next month. I have one cute one piece. I was at target today looking at bathing suits and it gave me the sads because I have a ton of cute bikinis that I'm not sure I'm brave enough to wear... I am 10 pounds lighter than pre pregnancy. It just these dang stretch marks and loose skin!
Do you flaunt or hide your stretch marks?

@MamaJ: I tried on a bunch of my old bikinis this morning and if I can get my belly to be more toned (on a weight loss challenge now) I would wear one. I have a lot of stretch marks but they are sort of camouflaged.

I'm in the exact same pickle! I don't have many but I still feel self-conscious about baring my belly to the beach-world in 2 weeks.

I wear some in my backyard but I would probably wear a tankini or one piece in public.

Stretch marks would definitely not stop me from wearing a bikini, but my body shape in general does.

I don't have any stretch marks from pregnancy (yet!) but I have a bunch all over my belly and sides from high school, when I gained a lot of weight very quickly. After losing the weight I was left with some loose skin and all the stretch marks. I've never let it stop me from wearing a bikini. Sometimes I've felt self conscience, but I've come to the realization that I notice them way more than anyone else.

I haven't wore a bikini yet but if I were going to Hawaii I would. You're on vacation, go for it!
