try using pure coca butter or go to a health food store for an all natural remedy for not getting stretch marks. I have been told by many that if you exercise and drink 10 8oz water or more a day, that it helps too. hope that you do not get any. I did and I tried everything.

When I was pregnant I used coco butter in the beginning. But I don't think it has to do with the kind of lotion you use. Later in my pregnancy I just used normal lotion and I have not one stretchmark on my belly. I think the thing that makes you get stretch marks. I think it happens if you scratch too much. So just try not to scratch and just uses whatever lotion you want. Research it! Because even if you put on lotion all the time, if you scratch you can still get strech marks.

I read over and over that it's genetic, because the skin "rips" from the inside (or something like that). However, my mom has a TON of stretch marks and I didn't get a SINGLE one, so....
I was allergic to cocoa butter, but I used Neutrogenia Body Oil every single day. Smells great - I still use it all over after the shower!

Cocoa butter doesn't work at all. If you're going to get stretch marks there is no cream that can prevent them. They're hereditary.
Cocoa butter does help for itchy belly though.

I used Palmers strech mark cream, and didn't get any strech marks until 1 week before delivery!grrrrr lol. But seriously, they are small and you can hardly see them, even I have to really look to find them. Great product

I think that the Palmer's cream is really good. Also I hear that Shea butter is also good. I'm gonna be using Palmer's stretch mark cream.
