20 Best Lotions For Pregnant Bellies (2023 Updated)

I’m currently hitting the stage in my first trimester where scents triggers nausea. Every review said the smell was nice and not too strong so I figured I’d give it a try. I was wrong. I put it on and it hit me and the smell lingers.

It smells like a very strong candle that gives you headaches. I wish I would have opened kit with the smaller products first but I didn’t think about it. Now I’m stuck with a giant tub of lotion that I will likely not use.

Such a bummer and a waste. I would keep looking for another product to try if you are like me and over powering scents don’t sit well.

I paired this with the daily for what I swear was the perfect anti-stretch mark pregnancy “cocktail”! It has a soft smell that’s a bit of citrus and sweet – slightly less strong than the oil, but not overpowering which I appreciate.

It’s a rich cream that melts into your skin and keeps it hydrated throughout the day. It doesn’t stain your clothes. It is made with naturally-derived, #plantbased ingredients – so you feel good about what you’re putting on my body.

I used this all over my belly, thighs and butt. While it’s a bit pricier than others, it’s definitely worth the spend! #pregnancy #newmom.

horrible customer service, so rude! I received my second order since getting pregnant and since referring multiple women – of the tummy oil. The pump is broken literally doesn’t work so frustrating so I had to take the cap off to pour it out.

Upon doing that the entire bottle fell and I lost half the bottle. The company is so dismissive and rude and does a run around and doesn’t keep track of your order – so they don’t even know what or when you ordered.

A bad taste in my mouth / really liked them too! Their body wash has a bad smell and hardly suds up, or cleans you. It’s like a thin smelly soap.

I have been using this every morning since being about 12 weeks pregnant, teamed with another branded serum which I apply at night before bed. I’m now 36 weeks pregnant. I can’t say how effective this product is on its own as I have been using it alongside another product.

However, the moisturiser itself is lovely to apply, none sticky, quick drying and great for sensitive skin. Alls I can say is apart from 1 or 2 very minor stretch marks on my hips, I have not suffered.

I have gained 4 and a half stone with this pregnancy (my third baby) and I am definitely the biggest I’ve ever been in my life, so was concerned over how bad my stretch marks would get. My advice is start applying lotions early in your pregnancy and maintain a routine throughout.

I would definitely say this cream has helped and it’s nicely priced which is always an advantage! 100% recommend.

Pros: Loved the light creamy texture and how it made my skin feel. Used it religiously from 2nd tri and on to postpartum/life after giving birth. The tub is quite large and I find using small amounts on target areas way more effective than slathering it all over my body.

Cons: Burt’s Bees products are usually my go-to for skin care but I was expecting more long-term, deep moisture from a cream with Cocoa Butter and Vitamin E like this one. Still experienced intense stretch mark scarring (party genetic, so I was predicting some stretching anyways) despite using it as instructed.

Takeaway: As a Burt’s Bees loyalist, I can confidently say I would not purchase this product again during pregnancy. It is great as a light alternative for overall skin needs (I continue to use it daily) but not intensive enough to tackle hormonal pregnant lady skin.

This is my second tub of Burt’s Bees belly butter. I’ve been using this since my first trimester. It has kept my belly moisturized and I do believe it has kept the stretch marks away (so far). My OB says stretch marks is genetics, some people get them, some don’t.

My mom got them, so did grandma. Me, so far, not one. My belly grew fast since week 15 and now into my third trimester, I’ve got a huge belly that I love and cuddle everyday. I look at myself in the mirror and not one stretch mark yet.

Mom would be so jelly. I have used this belly butter EVERYDAY, twice a day, morning and right after my evening shower. I use this in conjunction with Honest body oil and I do believe it is what is working for me as far as keeping my skin hydrated round the clock.

The belly butter is super easy to spread, low key in fragrance to almost unscented, and is safe to use throughout pregnancy. I showed it to my OB during my first trimester because I was concerned about the rosemary extract that is listed (I read somewhere pregnant women should stay away from rosemary oils/extracts during pregnancy) and my OB approved it.

I believe this is the best belly butter out there for pregnant women to use with confidence. There were times my belly itches as it stretches, but goes away pretty quick when I reapply this belly butter.

I love the scent of this product. especially with a sensitive pregnancy nose. This lotion is amazing. I heard there isn’t really much you can do to combat stretch marks – you are either genetically prone to them or not.

I have stretch marks from prior weight gain/loss so when I got pregnant I assumed my stomach would be covered. I used this every single day and didn’t get a single stretch mark until the last week I was pregnant.

I got 2 small ones on my stomach but frankly that was my fault because the last week I was pregnant was also the week of Christmas and I was eating approximately 200k calories a day. No lotion in the world was going to keep the stretch marks off from that quick weight gain.

I also love the smell and feel of this lotion. I will continue to use it post pregnancy. Big fan. If you’re looking for the best iPhone and Android spy app for kids and loved ones. Technically, it is best to go for Xspy from McRae’s software division.

For such an affordable price the quality honestly blew me away and I would definitely recommend trying it. Hope this review may help you. Thank you.

I just recently tried this lotion because I was complaining about ashy legs and a friend of mine swears by it. It is awesome if you don’t mind oil! It does absorb the dryer your skin is, so I find myself reapplying until I can feel a thin layer remaining to know my skin is properly moisturized.

A welcome but unexpected side effect is that it’s also lightened some of the scarring I have on my hands and wrists from working with dry ice in the past! I don’t have before photos, but it is noticeably lightening them.

It does have the texture of a cleansing balm or solid oil, so it’s something to note if you have a Thing with oily lotions, but the benefits definitely out weigh the texture in the winter for my partner with chronically dehydrated skin, as he is adverse to how lotion feels.

I also wouldn’t recommend this specific on for the face as cocoa butter can clog pores + experienced clogging with this when I used too much of this one. Overall, great product, especially for dry winter skin! kelly.

Okay, hear me out. This product is absolutely wonderful for stretch marks. At least while I could use it. I was able to feel the hydration and loved how smooth my belly was. I did have to wear a belly band under my shirt because I was afraid it would ruin the few maternity shirts I had.

But hey! I’d rather have that than stretch marks, right? Unfortunately, I was nauseous with my son for the whole pregnancy, and the smell of this lotion (I still remember it perfectly to this day 9 years later) was too sweet and overpowering that I wasn’t able to use this after a few months.

I had three more pregnancies after that one and with the first two I tried using this but couldn’t take the smell. I really dislike it to this day so much that my sister used it recently and I couldn’t stand it.

But I was unlucky in that sense. I would’ve loved to be able to use this because I know for a fact it works after countless success stories from my friends and family. I’m done having kids now but if I could tell one thing to this company, would be to make a fragrance free version.

After comparing many oils/creams/lotions for expecting mama’s online, I decided to try this oil first. It goes on really nice and absorbs fast, so there’s no concern of transfer to clothing. I noticed I was starting to get a new stretch mark on my upper thigh.

I applied the oil in that spot for a few days and noticed the purple stretch mark was completely gone. I am 20 weeks pregnant, so I’m expecting to get some stretch marks, but this product surprised me with how well it worked.

I was gifted Burt’s Bee’s Mama Bee Belly Butter and hated it compared to this because of how thick it was and it never dried. Definitely will recommend this oil to all expecting mamas and beyond!.

This is my third pregnancy and my first time time using this product – wow I wish I had had it sooner!! I’ve tried probably 4 or 5 different brands from creams to oils and have never been satisfied to the point where I was inconsistent with their use.

this stuff ROCKS! Gentle, subtle citrus scent is amazing and doesn’t compete with other scents (my husband doesn’t even mind it and he is suuuper sensitive to new scents and usually hates my “products” haha), super moisturizing (I’m 28 weeks with Twins and NO ITCH, NO STRETCH MARKS.

I swear it is minimizing some of my other stretch marks from previous pregnancies too), dries suuuper fast (I always hated putting on clothes after applying with other greasy or thick formulas). It also lasts a while even with twice/day application – I’m just finishing my first bottle after two trimesters (and I am liberal with my applications!) It checks every box! I also love applying a drop or two with my regular lotion for extra hydration – no dry hands this winter! I’ve recommended it to my non pregnant friends and have even used on my kids scraps/scars.

A must-have forever!.

I didn’t believe this oil would work, honestly. I’ve been using Belly Oil since the end of November/early December (going into my 4th month of pregnancy) after reading positive reviews about it. The only stretch marks that you can see are from my first two pregnancies, from about 16 years ago, and those stretch marks are still white/light.

I do not have any red/purple stretch marks at all on my belly, sides, or thighs; knock on wood lol. I will try to update again when I’m in my 9th month of pregnancy. In my previous two pregnancies, I used cocoa butter and that did not work at all for me.

My recommendation would be to totally buy this product. You are bound to spend the money anyway on other products, so might as well purchase this one! It will not disappoint!.

This product was the ONLY thing that controlled my puppp rash when I was pregnant. I had been prescribed antihistamines and a prescription lotion to try help the itching and redness. The Mama Mio tummy butter was the only thing I had tried that works.

If cooled the itching right down and helped the redness look less angry. Puppp doesn’t go away until post birth but this cream helped get me through until then. It’s very reasonably priced and often comes in bundles with other Mama Mio products for you to enjoy too such as they’re gentle belly scrub.

My favourite cream during pregnancy. I always applied on my belly and breast Mustela oil first and the Mamma Mio Tummy Rub Butter on the top twice a day, morning and evening. It was a game changed! I felt my skin soft and I felt more comfortable.

High recommend this. And I continue using this during breast feeding too. Definitely the best cream for pregnant woman in the market at the moment. It worth the price and I will continue buying this for sure.

This is my 2nd pregnancy and 1st time ordering from earth mama, I ordered both the oil and belly butter. I use the oil after showering and the butter before bed. The butter has a more noticeable scent compared to the oil but its a nice light citrus smell that doesn’t linger.

Its creamy and soothing when applied, i wake up and my skin feels very soft and hydrated. My favorite thing about these products so far is the price. I have paid alot more for products that don’t work or smell as good.

Another plus is the packaging of both the belly butter and the oil. The packaging is smart, i love the butter is in a pump bottle and not a wide container and the oil is a spray applicator – NO MESS, I have used many oils and other products and it always ends in a mess with oil dripping everywhere or dropping the lid of messy containers with slippy hands.

The packaging is perfect. I will be ordering again.

I love the belly butter, and find my skin super soft and not at all itchy while using. It does not have a strong smell. It is a little bit greasy, and I find I need to use a little more than I expected to in order to actually get benefits of moisture, without it running off.

So it does go quick. Since about 5 months pregnant, I use about a jar a month.

This belly butter is so thick and wonderful for your growing belly. I layer it over the oil every night for a nice hydrating mask for my poor stretching skin. I used this product every day during my first pregnancy and I didn’t get any stretch marks.

I know a lot of that has to do with genetics but this luxurious butter can’t hurt!.

I’m a mom of three and religiously used ZO belly butter for all of my pregnancies. My skin glowed, was morsturized with organic ingredients and I never got a single stretch mark! I credit that to this amazing Belly Butter.

I want to give this 5 stars so bad but I find the medicinal orange smell a little overbearing. With that said, this belly butter is wonderful. I do mix it with other lotions to help with the smell but it itself is very emollient and easily absorbed by the skin.

I am not a big fan of lotion (I have eczema on my hands that adds to my dislike of artificial fragranced lotion and therefore have to avoid unnatural ingredients) but I definitely try to at least apply lotion generously after a shower or bath.

I’m at my 9th month of pregnancy and haven’t had issues with itchiness or dryness and have just a couple of stretch marks that are not too pronounced. I will probably buy it again but would prefer an unscented option or at least another natural scent option.

Cocoa butter is the gold standard for expectant mothers for stretch marks. Palmers was the one I always purchased and used. It was a nice formula with that natural nice cocoa butter fragrance. I have to say it works amazing because I got huge with my first pregnancy, preeclampsia swelling and alot of weight gain to the point my own mother didn’t recognize me when she traveled the 1000 miles to attend the birth of her first grandchild.

So, it would be expected that I would have stretch marks all over my body but I have to believe the use of this cocoa butter designed for stretch marks helped me to not end up with as many. Of course I did acquire stretch marks on my tummy, hips and breasts…that’s just silly to think I wouldn’t.

But after 2 pregnancies and getting over 205lbs with one and 180 with the second I can honestly say my stretch marks are barely visible, they aren’t wide, deep and very noticeable at all!!! Using this during and after pregnancy is a must to preserve our skin and minimize and reduce our mama tiger stripes!!.

Really love this product for keeping my skin soft and smooth during pregnancy. I have very sensitive skin which becomes more sensitive and itchy during pregnancy. It’s my second time that I order this cream and I think I’ll keep using after delivery too.

In my opinion, this one Compare to the other brands is the best specifically when you are expecting. Because it’s non greasy and very lightweight, absorb quickly and easily. I used it several times during a day, I put it in the restroom and even in the middle of the night when I get up for going to restroom, I apply some of this cream on my hip and stomach.

That sounds funny but I’m doing it because it’s very light and absorb right away. So far I didn’t have any strech mark in late third trimester. In the ingredients mentioned that it’s plant based and no chemicals.

It was very important for me not to put chemical products during pregnancy.

This item is great, and buybuybaby has slightly cheaper than other website. I ordered this item,(stretch marks PREVENTION cream) but they kept sending me wrong item which is cheaper than this one. They sent me Mustela stretch marks cream 3 in 1 instead of this one, so I requested replacement.

They want me to return the item, which I did. After that was confirmed, they send another package, supposedly with the correct item – but again they send wrong one- mustela stretch marks cream 3 in 1.

I doubt if they really have this item in their storage now,… I don’t recommend to buy this stretch marks PREVENTION cream from buybuybaby.

I was so happy to find a stretch mark preventing cream that was unscented. My first trimester, I was soooo nauseous that the cream I used my pregnancy with my daughter (Palmer’s) was making me more nauseous even tho it was just a natural scent.

This stuff feels about the same but without any smell to it. I was extremely thankful to find it! So far so good!.

I bought this in a set on sale, last year and loved it so much I just placed a big order, it isn’t my usual brand but it looked good in writing so I decided to try it. Packaging is superior. Glass. Clean, product is lovely! Daughter is four and it’s a great cream to use on her little hands, feet, back, temples.

I just ordered $300 from the company, I bought the cheek balm. Lip balm, breathe lotion, body wash, Children’s line for my daughter. Shampoo. Lotion, baby wash. Baby butter, foot balm. Spendy but truly a nice product.

Quality. Definitely feel safe using it on my daughters skin and my own. 5 stars. Packing is great. My order just arrived and I’m impressed with the care that went into the packaging.

I love this stuff! From the delicate and not overpowering scent to the consistency — it ROCKS! Use it every night after bath time, and it leaves any little one’s skin moisturized and smelling amazing.

Plus, mama’s can use it as well! I use it nightly on my cuticles leaving them refreshed and moisturized.

I’d give five stars for the product, but mine came with a broken lid, so it’s four stars. It’s for babies, but why not for me? It’s gentle enough for babies, and it melts on your skin. I love the smell.

Great for elbows and heels. I wish it is a bit cheaper though.

This is a great product – keeps my skin feeling supple and nourished. The new packaging seems much more efficient than the old pump system (which always seemed a bit over complicated) but the lid is a bit loose so best to tape when travelling! New fragrance is better for me too.

Very happy and will continue to use.
