Okay, this may seem like a random thread, but I am 16, and have recently got stretch marks on my inner thigh. I was wondering whether if it could be caused by riding, as I am in no way fat! I am size 8/10 and have not put on any weight recently, so I thought that it could be caused due to my legs against the saddle. Has anyone else found that this has happened? Thank you and sorry if it's a bit rude!
 
hey, im not 16 anymore (sadly 22!) but i got exactly the same at 16........

i think its due to it being sort of a transition phase in terms of body growth from teenager to being more "womanly" (hehe ) but not to do with your weight, more your growth.......

Biooil works wonders (but is expensive) or cocoa butter!

I managed to minimise mine but then went to uni and put on quite a bit of weight (alcohol...... stupid freshers week) and they came back!

Ahh thank you! I was just really worried that I had turned weird as I am fairly self conscious enough as it is! I will try some bio oil to see if they can go away a bit!
 
I got them at about 15 when i put on weight on my inner thighs, boobs and hips - they are fairly faint and although im fairly slim now im very conscious of what i wear so that they dont show. There really isnt alot you can do but they do fade in time but just know that more people than you think have them.
