Mama Mio Products

[LeahPaige]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has used the Mama Mio products;

Scrub
Butter
Oil

And whether you think they are effective or not? This is my second baby, first baby was 13 years ago and I was 19 so not very clued up on skincare. I know stretchmarkz are genetic but I'd like to avoid getting any more if possible.

Bonus Q - has anyone used these in a second pregnancy and avoided additional stretch marks?

Oops not sure why stretchmarks has a z at the end of it 😅

I have used the oil in a previous pregnancy and I am currently 30 weeks. No stretch marks yet! It sometimes pops up in TK max if you are lucky!

I used the butter and oil. No stretch marks, and I was expecting them as I have a lot on my hips from puberty.

Thank you both for your replies. I think I'm gonna take the plunge as look fantastic have 50% off at the moment so it's pretty cheap!

Can I ask how early in your pregnancy you started using it?

I’ve used the butter during the day throughout my pregnancy - I basically started morning and night from around 5 weeks - I use a Shea butter at night that I get from Etsy as it’s thicker and oilier! 30 weeks and no stretch marks yet! (Touch wood!!)

I used them religiously in my first pregnancy and had no marks....until 38 weeks when a load appeared under my belly button. I used it again in my second pregnancy and didn't get any new marks but did end up with very baggy skin as my belly was stretched so tight and thin - of I knocked it on something it would bleed.

I'd say they're nice for smell and feeling a bit luxurious. But they won't prevent any stretch marks and people who say they do are just lucky with their pregnancy.

I used them from about 12 weeks both times. Never had any itching or uncomfortable skin. Hope you enjoy them!

I used a small company called Sheamazing’s body butters on my two pregnancies, no stretch marks in site besides on my boobs where I wasn’t applying the cream on my first pregnancy! I did on my second and got no stretch marks on my boobs, so I’m confident the cream works really well.

It’s nice to support a small business with simple ingredients and no nasties... and it actually works!

I used the tummy rub butter, had no stretch marks but that was maybe just luck, I found it to be a nice moisturiser though.
