Mother-of-two who is prone to stretch marks claims using a 'miracle' £85 prevention kit when she was pregnant left her without a single scar - and it's got hundreds of five star reviews

• e-mail

A mother-of-two who knew she was prone to stretch marks has told how she was left without a single scar after giving birth twice thanks to a 'miracle' prevention kit.

Miriam Hubbard, 33, from Littlehampton, West Sussex, has stretch marks on her hips and inner thighs from a growth spurt during her teens and suspected she'd develop more when she fell pregnant with her first child in 2016.

She came across Secret Saviours, a clinically proven skincare regime to stop them forming, and claims to have got through both pregnancies without developing a single mark.

And she's not the only one, as the kit, which costs £85, boasts a 4.5 out of five star rating on its website, derived from 538 reviews.

Speaking to FEMAIL, Miriam, a spa consultant and youth support worker, said she began researching ways to prevent stretch marks when she discovered she was expecting.

'I had always had a slim figure and so I wasn't sure how my skin would cope as it stretched with my ever-growing bump,' she said.

'I'd also got stretch marks on my hips and inner thighs from a growth spurt during my teenage years, so I knew I was probably prone to getting them. 

'I came across Secret Saviours and read through the information on the website and loved that all their claims could be backed up scientifically and that the product itself had been created by a doctor rather than a cosmetic company.

Miriam, a spa consultant and youth support worker, pictured before her pregnancy, said she began researching ways to prevent stretch marks when she discovered she was expecting

'The way I looked at it was, if I didn't use anything to prevent them and got stretch marks during pregnancy, then I would happily pay the cost of the kit to have them removed. 

'I would rather try to prevent them than to have to seek help after the damage is done through expensive treatments.'

According to an independent consumer trial, 82 per cent of women did not get stretch marks when using Secret Saviours.

The kit consists of a stretchy, supportive Bump Band to be worn over the tummy all day, which comes in four different sizes, a scented day cream to be applied beforehand, and a night cream to be worn once the band is removed in the evening, making it a three-step system. 

Miriam, mother to Molly-Rose, three, and seven-week-old Ivy-Star, pictured while pregnant with her youngest, said she would have worn her stretch marks as a 'badge of honour' had she got them, but was thrilled that she didn't

The Bump Band is made of a lightweight, breathable fabric and features comfy, patented pads that gently grip the tummy to help prevent stretch marks developing. 

It's ergonomically designed in order to help support the core and aid debilitating back pain that often accompanies pregnancy.

The system is entirely safe for the unborn baby and can be used by first-time mums or women who have previously had children, with many of the latter claiming the kit has helped prevent previous stretch marks extending further or new ones forming at all. 

Miriam, mother to Molly-Rose, three, and seven-week-old Ivy-Star, said she would have worn her stretch marks as a 'badge of honour' had she got them, but was thrilled that she didn't.

'I think we're led to believe there's almost a shame in wanting to not have them and that it can be considered vain to want to avoid them,' she added. 

'What I love about Secret Saviours is that women are given the choice. And I chose to try to reduce my chance in getting them, and I'm so glad I did! 

'I just had my second daughter and am able to proudly say that I didn't get one stretch mark throughout either pregnancy.'

Miriam described the three-step process as 'really simple and enjoyable to use' and said the cream left her feeling relaxed.

'I've recommended the product to lots of friends who have also purchased their own and started their own journey to look after and protect their skin,' she said.

Secret Saviours has also been praised by former Hollyoaks actress Ali Bastian, who shared a photo of her wearing the band on Instagram

Model and new mother Amy Willerton also praised Secret Saviours, which she used during her pregnancy

Dozens of happy customers have left positive reviews on the website, with one called Sasha branding it a 'miracle', while others have shared photos of them wearing the band on social media (pictured)

'As I look at the two beautiful humans I have grown, carried and birthed, I feel incredibly proud of my body and all it has achieved. 

'The presence or absence of stretch marks wouldn't affect this. However I unashamedly am so happy that when I look in the mirror I still feel like me, that my body is my own and confident in the skin I'm in.'

Secret Saviours has also been praised by model Amy Willerton and former Hollyoaks actress Ali Bastian, who shared a photo of her wearing the band on Instagram.

She wrote: 'This product is AMAZING!! The night cream smells so beautiful and makes me so relaxed, I'm asleep in about 10 seconds of applying it. I've had nightmare SI pain and the belt delivers a really nice level of support for this stage of pregnancy.

'It's really helping! Totally recommend. No stretch marks so far. Will wear them like a badge of honour if I get them, but will also be very happy to avoid it!'

And dozens of happy customers have left positive reviews on the website, with one called Sasha branding it a 'miracle'.

'I am currently 26 weeks pregnant and have been using the Secret Saviours system since I was about 14 weeks,' she wrote. 

'I was pretty sure I would get stretch marks as I had bad ones on my thighs from when I was a teenager, so I invested in Secret Saviours. I am so glad I did because so far I still have absolutely no stretch marks... I wish you made bras as I now have bad stretch marks across my breasts! 

Miriam, pictured left before having children and right after, said she is 'unashamedly so happy' that when she looks in the mirror, she still feels like her

'I have not hesitated in recommending Secret Saviours to my friends that have recently also become pregnant. Thanks so much for inventing this miracle product!'

Another, called Melissa, commented: 'I can not recommend this band enough, I started using it from 12 weeks. I am a size 6 my baby was born weighing 9lb 13oz. I am left stretch mark free and throughout my pregnancy I had no back pain as the band gives great support!' 

And one user called Becky wrote: 'I've just delivered our beautiful girl (a little early at 35+4 weeks and on Christmas Day!). I started wearing the small band from 12 weeks and changed up for the medium at the beginning of the third trimester.

'I'm very pleased to say not a stretch mark in sight on my belly! And I would recommend this to anyone.'
