I used this religiously every day through my whole first pregnancy on my stomach and hips. And even though I gained 70 pounds, I didn't get any stretch marks on my stomach and only a couple very small, hardly noticable ones on my hips. I lost all the weight, but I still don't have any stretchmarks on my stomach. It's easy to put on and not messy at all. It does smell strongly like cocoa butter, but it's pure cocoa butter, so you kinda have to expect that and it isn't a bad smell :) I think the other cocoa butter lotions don't work as well because of all the other additives. Some of them have alcohol, which seems counterproductive to keeping in moisture. I just found out I'm pregnant again and ran out and bought a few sticks right away. These little sticks last a while (I think mine lasted about a month each) and are very inexpensive. Where I get them they are $1.37! Can't beat that!!! I recommend these to all my pregnant friends :) I've bought a lot of these and have never had a single complaint. Just don't keep them in a very warm place because they will melt. Had one in a suit case in the trunk of the car during a summer trip out of state and it got very soft. It hardened again when it was back in normal temps and was still usable. Just a little deformed. I've never had one that was dried out or too hard like other reviewers have had.
