Stretch marks?

Question

All of my friends have them and I don't mind them on other people and I love the empowerment of them. But I just got my first ones on the sides of my butt and I broke down and cried a ton and I'm currently sitting with coconut oil on them :^/

It just feels like validation, proof of what I've thought of myself for so long now and it ruins my mood whenever I remember them. And when I walk I feel like I can feel exactly where they are, like not actual feeling but I'm constantly aware of them.

Can anyone share something that made them feel better about it??

Answer

I freaked out when I got my first one. Then when I had my first son I had stretch marks galore! I would never show anyone. I would ignore them. Or wear a shirt during sex. You know what made me feel better? I was with a man who loved me for me. He didn't have a problem with them because he knows women get them. They're a part of life. I've been better with them since then. I don't love them, but I don't mind so much anymore

Answer

I have stretch marks on my butt and also on my knees/thighs where I grew so fast, I've always hated them but I've learned A LOT of people have them actually and it IS normal. You're not alone! Just try to be comfortable in your own skin!
