Secret Saviours Premium Set for Stretch Marks (Review)

9 March 2015

Secret Saviours Premium Set for Stretch Marks

Secret Saviours Premium Set, £69.95 – Secret Saviours | Amazon

Since the beginning of my pregnancy I’ve been quite diligent with keeping my growing bump moisturised to prevent stretch marks as much as I can. Although I know there’s not much I can do to avoid them if I’m prone to stretch marks, I’ve kept a good supply of Palmers Cocoa Butter Stretch Marks Cream, Bio-Oil and Sanctuary Spa Comforting Night Butter – just for peace of mind. When Secret Saviours contacted me to introduce their range of products for stretch marks during pregnancy, I was very intrigued and keen to try them!

Secret Saviours Premium Set for Stretch Marks

The Secret Saviours Premium Set comes as a kit containing a multitasking support band, day gel and a night cream. The set is centred around the belly band, which is designed to minimise the strain on the skin as your belly grows throughout pregnancy. The day gel is meant to be used before putting on the belly band, and the night cream is used on its own before bedtime.

Secret Saviours Premium Set Support Band

The support band is quite interesting at first glance; it has a round belly shape at the front with smooth rubber-like pads on the inside and it’s narrower around the back, but still plenty wide to cover the lower-back area. These ‘rubber pads’ work by dissipating the stresses and strains from your belly growth, and are the key to how the belly band helps avoid the formation of stretch marks.

Secret Saviours Premium Set for Stretch Marks

Start by applying the day gel on your bump; that will leave a tacky feeling, which I didn’t find too pleasant, but it’s meant to help the pads on band work. Then, put on the belly band with the pads facing your bump, and make sure it feels comfortably snug over and under your bump. Secret Saviours recommends you wear it throughout the day and take it off in the evening.

Secret Saviours Premium Set Support Band

I haven’t be able to stand anything tight around my ribs or belly during pregnancy – not even maternity bras, so I was a bit concerned this would make me feel super claustrophobic and uncomfortable. Luckily, and to my surprise, that wasn’t the case. The material is stretchy and sits very nicely around my bump, covering it from top to bottom. Granted, after a few hours of sitting down on a chair, the band starts to feel a bit much below my bump, and when that happens, I just stand up to stretch my legs or take off the band to give my belly a rest.

Secret Saviours Premium Set Support Band

The support band comes in Small (32-40 inches), Medium (40-48 inches), Large (48-56 inches) and Extra-Large (56+ inches). I was lucky enough to receive a Small and Medium, which was ideal for me, as my nearly 30 weeks bump is starting to outgrow the Small band. My bump measured at about 26 inches when I started using the Secret Saviours band at 26 weeks pregnant, and the Small size was very comfortable.

Secret Saviours Premium Set Night Cream

At night, I have really enjoyed using the Secret Saviours Night Cream, even on days when I don’t wear the belly band or the day gel. It has a thin consistency that feels nourishing on my skin without leaving any greasy residue behind. My husband really appreciates this, as he likes to feel the baby kicking at night, and he hates it when my belly feels sticky or tacky.

Secret Saviours Premium Set Day Gel

I haven’t been able to see any results from 3 weeks of using the Secret Saviours Bump Support Pack, and I probably won’t know if it has really worked until after my baby in born towards the end of May, so I’ll update you when the time comes. However, I have really enjoyed using this kit because it’s comfortable, the creams feel lovely on my skin and it gives me added peace of mind that I’m doing everything to prevent stretch marks.

Secret Saviours Premium Set for Stretch Marks During Pregnancy Review

I recommend giving this a try if you are looking for a way to maximise your chances of getting none or as few stretch marks as possible during your pregnancy. Even if you’re prone to stretch marks, the Secret Saviours set might actually help reduce the amount you get, which is definitely a bonus! If all else fails, just remember that it will all be worth it when you have you precious little one in your arms; I bet you won’t even care about a few ‘war wounds’ here and there! :)

    I can only afford to get one size. Do you think that the medium would work even if I am only 34 inches right now (so I can grow into it)?

Not the pregnancy announcement I had in mind, but… we’re expecting baby number 3! ❤️🙏🏻 I’m 11 weeks pregnant today and this is probably the most fitting photo to describe my first trimester so far: hyperemesis gravidarum.

I was going to wait until I was feeling better, until I had a bump to show, until I could put some makeup on… but who knows when that will be? I’ve lost over 15lbs, been admitted to hospital twice on IV fluids for dehydration, spent my birthday (and weeks on end!) in bed and have been put on so many meds I’ve lost count.

Today, as I was leaving the hospital on new meds and after a bag of fluids - feeling like a human being for the first time in over a month - I decided that writing this post, although cathartic for me, may be just what another HG sufferer needs to read to make them feel a little bit less alone.

This is not the beautiful “surprise” pregnancy announcement we’re used to seeing, but for the 1-3% of women who suffer with HG, it may be the only one you can manage.

So, this is where I’ve been hiding. Baby is doing well, mama not so well. But I’m hanging in there and taking one day at a time!

Baby is due September 2021! ❤️

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎
