FabSwingers.com forum: Bellybutton cleanliness…

Unless I'm mistaken, there's not much life has taught us about accepted codes of practice for naval hygiene.

What's the standard? Personally, I used to be able to go years without caring what was going on in my belly button and sorted it out in the weekly shower / bath, but it can catch up with you. I have on occasion observed a not insignificant wodge of multi-coloured fluff that has accumulated in there and taking a chopstick (not a cheap wooden one liable to splinters) to the region can appeal…

What do Fab forumites think of this matter?

Is your bellybutton pristine and gleaming or does it resemble a tumble dryer collection tray?

I clean mine with cotton buds. Truth is I have a labrador and his hair sheds so much it can sometimes end up in there, don't ask me how

I wash it when it starts smelling of cheddar and not a moment before.

It drives people crackers.

I love a good old rummage around in mine with a finger.

Indeed, naval excavation is second only to nostril picking in terms of sheer satisfaction.

I actually have a Belly Button Cleaner that was given to me at one of the London/City fab socials. I accepted it with good humour.

Now that I think about it, there must have been a subtext behind it.

Yuck!

I think maybe mine needs inspection and a hygiene score given.

Any volunteers?

Tape clingfilm or a tarpaulin, depending on size, over it. No issues forever

Årt and Lint doesn't mix well.

We gentlemën of the fora have limits to what we will volunteer for, no matter how resplendent or desperate the lady.

Well not Dave.

Let me tell you a story about my bellybutton.

It’s an innie, and it’s always been a particularly spacious innie, meaning cleaning has always been easy. Quick swish round with the mop after I’ve done the floors and jobs a goodun.

Two laparoscopic surgeries with one of the entrances through the bellybutton and no dramas afterwards, healed nicely and no loss of bellybutton space.

The third one, this past March, absolutely ruined it. They stitched the sides together! I’m left with something nothing like my previous roomy good-storing space! There’s now a bizarre piece of scar tissue running across the middle of it, effectively dividing the space into two much smaller cavities.

Alas reader, I can no longer insert a finger into either of the two smaller cavities. I have to use a cotton bud to reach the bottom.

To say I am devastated is an understatement. I now have to carry my phone, keys and vape in my hands. I can’t put my dog in there. It’s like splitting a perfectly good bedroom into two smaller and then useless rooms.

I am sad

What size dog did you previusly keep in there? Are we talking a St Bernard or a Chihuahua?

(That was obviously the key takeaway from your post)

A Jack Russell terrier. He had room to do that doggy shuffle around in circles until he was comfortable. If I breathed out he could fit one of his chewy bars in there too. Poor thing, he can’t understand why he has to walk everywhere now

Oh slightly worried he was doing that doggy scrubbing arse along the grass kind of thing following a fairly unsuccessful pooh or when they have works

I have an EBT, I have seen these things (not in anyone's belly button I hasten to add).

Mine is cavernous, so I have to clean it in the shower daily. I use the corner of a towel to dry after. I also blast it with the hair dryer to ensure its completely dry!

I think men tend to accumulate fluffy because of the position of their underwear.

Or maybe because they have stomach hair that helps the fluff rub off?

My theory is that my hairy belly abrades fluff from my clothes that ends up deposited in my belly button. As long as you don’t let it compact it should come out with the meerest of tickles.

But what about older men who wear their trousers half way up their chest? (it's a good look, more of the youth should try it rather than having their trousers hanging below their crotches exposing those modern trendy boxer shorts).

And surely the M&S Y-fronts should mean that belly button fluff does not materialise? or given our dotage would teh fluff not be a yellow hue?

It's always blue fluff so I'm thinking the sock fluff migrates.

I'll see if I can locate it and send you a photo. It's somewhat quirky.

Having about as much body hair as a Sphinx cat, don't have to worry too much about fluff getting where it shouldn't
