I gave birth to my first child 2 years ago and had no issues with stretch marks. So with this pregnancy I didn't take any precautions then boom I had them! I didn't even know until I took a picture with high flash at 7 months and I was devastated. I immediately start doing research and I found Tiger stripe. So I decided to give it a try since I read some of the reviews here. I'm so happy I went with this product, they aren't gone completely yet but they are so much lighter and I have a 7 weeks to go until I have my baby. I'm pretty confident that they will be almost nonexistent by then. The pictures are 3 weeks apart with me using it twice a day.
