I understand, I had so many down the insides of my thighs and calves that it looked like I was wearing weird stockings.
oddly the ones I am most conscious over are those right by my lady parts, only my husband can see them yet they bug me the most lol

Go enjoy your summer :) they fade in time, but no harm trying to help the process along. Have you thought of coconut oil? Also any oil with vitamin E is good since vitamin E promotes skin healing and elasticity. But, if they don't fade in the time you'd like, just remember anyone shallow enough to judge you for doing something as amazing as childbirth, they aren't even worth it. Papa's mama is right, they're your battle scars.

Papas Mama is right, there are oils and creams to help speed up the process (not proven to work for everyone) but they still take a lot of time to fade.
I still have some from my pregnancy 3 years ago that can be seen and some had turned silver in just over a year but they were small.
I use bio oil scar and stretchmark fader but you have to use it twice a day for 6 months without fail to see a reduction in their appearance.
I was self conscious of them at first coming into my first summer but no one noticed and now they are part of me.

I am sorry but to my knowledge there is no "cure" for stretch marks. They'll fade slightly with time but essentially, they are your battle scars, and you've earned them;)
