Hi,

Has anyone used the secret saviours stretch mark prevention band?

I’m thinking of trying it but wanted some honest reviews.

Many thanks

I used this. I didn’t use it with my first baby, he was born 8lbs 6oz and I ended up with a few stretch marks around my belly button, I massaged bio oil twice a day religiously through that pregnancy. With my second baby I figured my tummy had already stretched before so I wouldn’t get any stretch marks, I got one at around 25ish weeks and so ordered the band and started to bio oil in the evenings. My second baby weighed 9lbs 7 and I had additional fluid so my belly was huge, and i did end up with more stretch marks. However, they are all in my lower tummy and aren’t bad at all really. I have them in my thighs from when I was younger and they are a lot worse than the ones I got on my tummy. I’ll never know if the band prevented them from being worse but it did offer support for the bump in the later stages too so I’d say for me it was with it.

Thank you for your reply, I think I will give it a go! Got to be worth a try!!

I used it and no stretch marks here, but my bump was small and I had an ELCS at 37+2. Agree with PP that it offered some support for the bump (I used my Belly Bandits when I went for a long walk or so, but the Secret Saviours was good around the house on its own).

I ordered one and find it u comfortable. I can take or leave the band to be honest, i have wide hips so it rolls upwards. I can't see how it will stop stretch marks lower down because of this or stretch marks around the sides where the sucker pads are. I'm only 14 weeks so god knows what it will be like when I'm bigger!! I'm using the creams though and bio oil.

Sorry that should say uncomfortable 😣
