Stretch Marks
Does anyone know if there is something that actually does work for getting rid of or at least diminishing them? I'm sooooo tired of looking at them.
Thanks.

I've had this problem and here are the things that worked for me, you can get a cream called Mederma at any drug store this works great on new ones but it's costly.
I found what worked the best for me was an ointment form GNC, called E-Ointment, it runs about 5 to 6 dollars for a two ounce jar and it lasts a long time. I just dabbed it on twice a day and in about two weeks it had done wonders. It's organic which is what drew me to it. Nothing will get rid of them completely but i have made mine almost unnoticeable thanks to these things. I hope they work for you.

Rumor has it that allowing a tall, thin, balding Irishman rub cocoa butter on your whole body makes you forget all about stretch marks.

I love the beauty of *all* the pixies women!
Hey gals, here's my two cents worth.
As women live their lives, their bodies change. None of us have the same bodies we had when we were nineteen. One of the reasons I love pixies is its celebration of the full range of women's beauty. But boy, the outside world sure puts pressure (especially on women) to reflect a very narrow view of beauty and vitality.
The physical changes discussed in this thread are part of our life journey. I wish health and happiness to all the guys and gals here, and if working on some aspect of your appearance helps you feel happier, go for it! But please know that there are many of us here who love the way you ladies look right now and will into the future!
