Three amazing products, a Stretch Mark Prevention Band, Day Gel and Night Cream combine to become the world’s first scientifically proven 3-step stretch mark prevention system.

The first step is the application of The Day Gel, made from a luxurious blend of ethically sourced, scientifically proven ingredients. This soothing Gel has been formulated to keep the unique pads on the Band in place.

The next step is to pull on the Stretch Mark Band, tacky pads facing inwards, which has been designed to provide bump support throughout the day. It’s special pads are arranged in a unique way to hold your skin in place and even out stresses across the tummy, making it harder for stretch marks to form.

The band fits snugly over and under your bump and the pads should leave a light impression on your skin – that means it’s working!

Step three is the removal of The Stretch Mark Prevention Band before bed and the application of The Night Cream to ensure your skin remains well moisturised, soft, smooth and supple.

All of our preventionwear is equally as effective and fits snugly around the area of your body you are trying to prevent getting stretch marks.

If you are only interested in preventing stretch marks on your bump then we suggest you buy a Bump Band or Full- Briefs – both are just as effective, however we have had feedback from customers telling us that those with hour glass or pear shaped figures find Full-Briefs suit them better and those with an apple or rectangular figure tend to prefer our Band.

If you want to prevent stretch marks on your bottom and legs too, then try our Shorties or Leggings. And our Bra has been designed to prevent stretch marks on your boobs.

The Bump Band and Full-Briefs have both been developed with Secret Saviours with Derma Dot Support Technology™, so are equally as efficient at saving stretch marks.

They are also equally comfortable, mould to your changing body and both offer under bump and back support. However, the Full-Briefs offer a more flexible, all round support and are slightly less restrictive.

If you have an hourglass or pear-shaped figure you may get on better with the Full-Briefs or if you have a rectangle or apple-shaped figure you may prefer the Bump Band. At the end of the day, it's really down to personal choice!

Secret Saviours is the only clinically proven system shown to prevent stretch marks forming in up to 70% of women (a subsequent independent consumer trial has put this figure at 82%). No other stretch mark prevention products anywhere on the market have had these proven outstanding results.

Creams and gels alone do not prevent stretch marks. You can read more about this in the independent Cochrane Report.

For best results, we recommend wearing the preventionwear from weeks 12-14 of pregnancy, or when your bump starts to show. Although the preventionwear will gently expand with your growing body, some women need to size up during their pregnancy.

To more accurately determine your size, it's best to refer to our size guides on the product pages.

The preventionwear stretches very well and many women find that they need just one size for their whole pregnancy. However if your preventionwear starts to feel tight you will need to purchase the next size up.

We estimate a preventionwear will last for 3 months if worn every day and washed approximately 80 times.

If you would like to send your measurement to us, we can advise you on sizing.

No. For your best chance of avoiding stretch marks, you must use all three products together as directed, as they each have a role to play in the prevention.

The stretch mark preventionwear, Day Gel and Night Cream are available to purchase separately, but this should only be an option if you run out of gel or cream, or if you require an extra band/bands.

We don’t recommend you buy preventionwear without the Secret Saviours Day Gel and Night Cream. The Day Gel has been specifically designed to moisturise yet remain tacky, ensuring the pads on the preventionwear grip the skin and stay in place. Other gels or oils could degrade the special pads, making the preventionwear less effective.

And The Secret Saviours Night Cream has been specifically formulated to restore the balance of your pregnant body. It’s been blended with Centella Asiatica, vitamin E and B5 to nourish and soothe your skin once the stretch mark preventionwear has been removed at the end of the day.

Please see our size guide for advice on how to measure yourself and select the size you need. We recommend you use the size guide on the product page you are interested in.

You’ll know when you need a larger size as your stretch mark preventionwear will begin to feel a bit too tight and uncomfortable.

Itching skin is common in pregnancy. If you find you are itchy, first remove your stretch mark preventionwear for 10-15 minutes and re-apply the gel two or three times further throughout the day. This should help soothe your skin. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.

No, you can take stretch mark preventionwear off at night, in bed. Gravity will, in effect, take the stresses off the skin over your pregnancy bump. The only product you need to use at night is our Night Cream.

Yes. Women who’ve continued to wear the band or briefs for two to four weeks after delivery, until their bump has gone down, found it very supportive.

During the clinical trial of the 3-Step Secret Saviours system, the incidence of stretch marks occurring during pregnancy dropped from 70% down to just 30%.

Unfortunately, there will still be some instances where the mechanical support of the patented pads, cannot wholly prevent stretch marks occurring in a small percentage of women, and we are sorry that this has happened to you - this is unlikely to be a comfort, but using the product will almost certainly have reduced the number and severity of those stretch marks.

We estimate that with daily use they will last approximately 80 washes or 3-4 months. 

Your stretch mark preventionwear can be machine washed up to 30º. Air dry naturally, but avoid a direct heat source and do not tumble dry or dry clean as this may damage the pads. You can wash the stretch mark preventionwear as often as necessary.

The stretch mark preventionwear is made in the EU from ethically sourced yarns. It is then hand finished with the pads applied in Turkey. As each piece is hand finished, every band may look slightly different. This is perfectly normal and won’t affect how it works.

The Day Gel and Night Cream are made in the UK. Both are dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic and use only ethically sourced ingredients. They are also paraben free.

We can reassure you that the preventionwear will not harm the baby. The level of compression is minimal to the inside of the abdomen as the baby 'swims' in amniotic fluid - water (in effect) is not at all compressible, so baby will have just as much 'room' to move around, with or without a band present.

The stretch mark preventionwear should fit snugly over your bump and the special pads should leave an impression on your skin - this means it’s working!

Our product has been created and designed by Medical Experts (a vascular surgeon and a skin tissue engineer) in conjunction with UCLH (University College London Hospital) and all ingredients are safe for use in pregnancy. Our product has been clinically trialled (and proven), is dermatologically tested and is also hypo allergenic.

We do have to have some chemicals in our product otherwise The Day Gel and The Night Cream would have no shelf life, but they are in extremely small doses and neither the Day Gel or Night cream are absorbed into the blood stream.

Our product has been created and designed by Medical Experts and all our ingredients are safe for use in pregnancy. Phenoxyethanol is used in a very low concentration (less than 0.5%) - to preserve our product - without it The Day Gel and The Night Cream would have no shelf life. Neither are absorbed into the blood stream and therefore pose no risk to you or your baby.

We are aware that the FDA in 2008 did issue a warning regarding Phenoxyethanol, but it was specifically related to a Nipple Cream because it can be harmful to nursing infants. This is because infants were being exposed to this product as a food, because they were putting their mouth on their mother’s breast and potentially injesting the product. There is no mention in the FDA warning about any danger to the mother by rubbing the nipple cream on their skin.

The European Union and Japan both approve its use up to that 1% level and our formulas fall well below the recommendation.

Yes, both our Day Gel and Night Cream are perfectly safe for you to use on C-section scars as they contain soothing ingredients which are proven to help heal wounds.

It’s never too late to start using the products and preventing the stretch marks from escalating, even if you’re in your last few weeks of pregnancy. There is a very good chance that Secret Saviours 3-step system will stop them from forming further.

Nothing completely gets rid of stretch marks once they’ve formed, apart from cosmetic surgery. Prevention in the first place using Secret Saviours is far preferrable. However, using our Day Gel and Night Cream may well help reduce the appearance of existing ones.

Yes, there is every chance that new and additional stretch marks can be prevented using the products and if you do get some new ones, they are very likely to be significantly reduced in both number and overall appearance.
