You get stretch marks when you gain weight too fast so your skin can't grow fast enough to keep up.

It doesnt happen just when you have babies. If you are overweight you might get strech marks on your stomach or legs.

I was wondering...How do you get rid off or make stretch marks fade? I have really ugly ones on my legs and I don't like to wear shorts because of them.

Sadly enough, there's no way to totally get rid of stretch marks. But *everyone* has them - everyone has to get bigger sometime. Using just regular lotion should help, but they'll fade as you get older. Don't worry: no one will laugh at you, and if they do, they aren't worth your time anyway (because I guarantee they have some sort of mark somewhere they don't like). Good luck -James

Go to your local drug store and buy "cocoa butter" make sure that it has nothing else but that in its content list *it will say 100%. Then, every night rub it on your marks- after like a month of doing this they will be less visible. I have stretch marks galore on my hips so those low waist pants that are "in" show my marks and i hated it- so thats why I use it. I like the roll-on sticks but the lotion works well too. My advise: use it at night because depending on what kind you get- it can feel oily. Take a shower in the mornig it you dont already do to prevent build up and stop the "oily feeling". (yes, it has a scent, but when you shower it will come off. BUT ITS WORTH IT! I LIVE BY IT!!!)
Some people really like the smell, I do. Its great during the summer because it can help you tan. And some people use it to make their skin baby soft. It's not necessarily made for stretch...

Just remember it wont make the marks dissappear, and it takes dedication to do it every night. Love your body for who it is, you would be suprised to hear who else has those marks.
PS. if you are overweight, stretch marks can be caused from the skin stretching too much (hince the name) Once you lose some weight they will become really invisible. = me though, I am not overweight, but my hips are simpily huge and as they grew, my skin stretched too much and they appeared. They keep getting bigger as my hips grow, but the cocoa butter helps and i live by it.
GOOD LUCK!

Stretch marks are VERY hard to get rid of but cocca butter can help make them less noticable but it takes a long time lik 6 months but its worth it

Stretch marks develop when you grow too fast, dont worry they will fade with time, pick a regular exercise and eat right and you will lose some weight, and to speed up the rate at which you lose stretch marks put vitamin e extract on it, its sticky and kinda expensive but it works, you can get it at any drugstore

Stretch marks can be annoying. :) They fade over time but they most likely won't dissapear altogether...but don't worry about the stretch marks, just enjoy life and be happy!
