As ive said above, i dont like my body, infact im growing to hate it. Its not that i feel fat or too thin. I hate the way i look naked. Ive had 2 kids and with both got terrible stretchmarks. My belly is covered in these wretched vertical slash marks. People say think of them as lines of life, but call me shallow (please dont coz im not) i just cant see them as anything else but hideous. Ive tried various creams, ive even tried sunbeds but to no avail. I look at these girls walikng along with their bellies out looking all toned and flat and it makes me feel like crying. Ill never look good naked again. I hide my belly all the time to save people (and myself) from seeing it but id love for just one day to be able to wear a belly top. I have also had a c-section so have a horizontal line on my pubic bone just to add to the butchered effect. I look a state and cant get naked next to my partner, i wont even let him touch my naked body. Im 23 years old and have the body of an old woman.

you canuse acid to burn off stretch marks, please don't try a diy job, you need wraps from professionals. It is a type of fructic acid i believe.
BUT the stretchmarks will fade over time, you need to think a little more positively.
try telling your partner how you feel as his reassurance and support will be far more effective than wraps,peels or surgery.
oh, get a tan, that helps

Hi, Im sorry about your situation but i think i might be able to help. For one thing in no way should you hate your body. and the other you can help yourself to get the body you want.
You say you want to walk around with a slim tummy all toned and short top with no stretch marks. But think of it this way would you still walk round like that if you had none of the above, Ive been in this situation where ive wanted to do the above, but when i lost weight i never wanted to do the above.
If you tummy isnt toned then a few excercises will do the trick, and if you lose weight your strech marks will fade, i needed to lose a few stones, i had strech marks on my legs and hips and i couldnt even wear a skirt in summer ot tight tops. Then when i lost weight the strech marks have gone.
Bio oil is very good as long as you massage it in everyday.
Always moisturise your skin with a toning moisturiser, and get one of those tanning ones to give you a boost. Also avon does a range of there own which is brilliant. Co co butter doesnt work.
Every woman when having a child has strech marks.
If none of the above helps, maybe a trip to the doctors may help. he may suggest something.

Shea Butter helps smooth it on your skin before you go to sleep right after the shower. Then reapply in the morning and you will see results. You definitely need raw straight from the nut Shea butter though organic is the best, do not buy the junk from the stores they are useless. Also exercise suck in your tummy and try holding it that way for an hour and as you begin to tighten up you can go for longer amounts of time.
By the way having children is a wonderful feat not all women are able to do such a wonderful thing, you should be proud to bear those marks as testament to life that you brought forth.

just ignore the silly comments others are giving. Obviously your partner likes you for the way you are so you should try and accept the way you are as well. Most women have these problems, you are not alone. The girls you see wearing the belly tops are the few who can, out of the many that can't but in time, they too will not be able to flaunt themselves in that way. Try to be happy with what is good in your life already!!!

oo now pull up a chair and sit down .... if you are 23 you have had your children quite recently, you will have to wait for your body to reshape itself, you will have to help it along so those stretch marks are just lines on the skin - if those lines on the skin still trouble you in a few years then you can get corrective surgery.
Dont hate your body, do some work to get it back then you too can have a nice body that you want to show off to your partner.

Perhaps you need to post few photos of yourself, perhaps naked and non-naked. Then we can get a better idea and advise.
