Nothing goes in my belly button. I'm afraid of what I'll find...and I'm only half-kidding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-your-belly-button-frequently#post-194405 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 18:52:06 +0000 stargal 194405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol i have really dry skin in my belly button (its permantely attached) so it always looks like there is something in it, even after i put lotion on it! hubs was SO SO happy when my belly button popped to an outie during this pregancy bc the dry skin went away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-your-belly-button-frequently#post-194402 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 18:48:19 +0000 Cole 194402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@joyjoy Mine hurts to clean too! I thought I was the only person! I try to do it regularly but it really is uncomfortable for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-your-belly-button-frequently#post-194395 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 18:42:47 +0000 joyjoy 194395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was so small, deep and tight before that I'd have to use a qtip and it would hurt to clean, so I'd only do it once in a while (sorry if that's gross). Now it's starting to spread out and open up, so I clean it in the shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-your-belly-button-frequently#post-194376 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 18:26:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 194376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg yes. Mine is so deep. For some reason it was really dirty after giving birth and took awhile to clean. I usually have to use a qtip. I do it maybe once a week? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-your-belly-button-frequently#post-194322 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 17:00:44 +0000 mrsjyw 194322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't before, but after one bad cleaning last year... I make sure to every time I shower :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-your-belly-button-frequently#post-194314 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:52:16 +0000 twinmama 194314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to clean mine occasionally, but it was never super deep, so it mostly only got some grains of whatever when we'd go camping or something.</p> <p>But it's been months since my button had any sort of indent to clean. I'm really curious to see what kind of state it goes back to after the babes are born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-your-belly-button-frequently#post-194309 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:50:32 +0000 Andrea 194309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only do it when I remember. For some reason I always forget. Maybe this thread will help me remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-your-belly-button-frequently#post-194259 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:09:43 +0000 Running Elley 194259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never clean my belly button.....is that horribly unhygienic of me?? It's an innie and there's never anything in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-your-belly-button-frequently#post-194255 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 16:07:43 +0000 HabesBabe 194255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do about 1x-2x/week. I have an innie (it's still BARELY hanging on at 37 weeks!) that smells. Seriously, it smells. So I have to de-smell it once in awhile (it only smells if I put something in my belly button, not if I'm just walking around). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-your-belly-button-frequently#post-194158 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:05:35 +0000 autumnlove 194158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: ok, dog hair is pretty gross! hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-your-belly-button-frequently#post-194030 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:17:09 +0000 DillonLion 194030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not gross. Same here.</p> <p>One time, after spending a few days at my in-laws house and playing endlessly with their 5 dogs, I went out to tan by the pool, and I found a ton of dog hair in my belly button. Now, THAT is gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-your-belly-button-frequently#post-194028 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:15:57 +0000 autumnlove 194028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only do a thorough cleaning every few weeks...gross, right? </p>
