Mums swear by £1.50 Superdrug buy to avoid stretch marks – as Jorgie Porter jokes ‘whose bump is bigger?’ with her son
MUMS have rushed to give Jorgie Porter advice for stretch marks as her baby bump continues to grow.
Many told the pregnant actress, 36, that they swear by a £1.50 skincare product sold at Superdrug.
Jorgie looked in good spirits as she posed with her son Forest for a photo shared with her 749,000 Instagram followers.
Forest placed one hand on her tummy as he copied her by lifting his top to expose his.
“Whose bumps bigger?” Jorgie said, captioning the post.
“We had a wild Friday night comparing our bellies. Forest is obsessed with beeping my belly button [laughing].
“I think my belly has stretched soooo much more this time round.
“For those that have used them, what stretch mark creams and oils have worked for you?”
Jorgie is expecting to give birth to her first girl in early December.
Over 13,000 people liked her post and mums flooded the comment section with their suggestions.
“I swear by the Clarins oil! I’ve got super ‘stretch marky’ skin and never got a single one in pregnancy when I used it. I used it every day,” one person wrote.
“My bump is so much bigger this time round. I’ve been using bio oil every day,” another said.
“Tropic’s Tamanu balm is incredible,” a third added.
However, the majority of commenters raved that they got the best results from using Palmer’s cocoa butter.
“Six babies and only ever used Palmer’s cocoa butter and I’ve not a single stretch mark on my tummy. My mam only had me and her tummy is covered!” one person said.
“Palmer’s Coco butter worked for me,” another chimed in.
“I used Bio oil every morning and night along with Palmers Stretch Mark lotion and I never got a single stretch mark,” a third wrote.
“The My Little Coco bump sheet masks are amazing too, especially when they’ve been in the fridge.
“They really help with that itchy feeling when your skin is feeling extra stretched lol.”

One customer said it has a “non-greasy” feel on the skin, while another raved that it’s helped to keep them looking young.
“Nine months pregnant and have been using this on my entire body since the beginning!” a third customer wrote in their review.
“Zero stretch marks yet and I feel this moisturizes SO WELL. With a wonderful price tag. Definitely recommend for anyone!!”
