Does your belly button stink?

? Probably - but it fits perfectly, and he's always warm...

I'm going to leave this now I think, I can feel some (justified, admittedly) serious p!sstaking coming up. ?

<nutfluff runs away regretting the rash decision to admit too much on an internet forum>

Nutfluff I wouldnt worry, we are clearly all freaky, although warming your nose in a belly button is making me laugh

? Fluff diving!!

Thanks Zoë. I will sit on the freaky bench then ?

Its ok, there is room next to me ?

This thread has put me off my sandwich!

However, in an effort to join in....I took my belly bar out over 5 years ago, I can still squeeze pure white stuff out of the hole it left in my stomach ?

I think the thing that worries me most about this is your username. Where else do you warm your nose?!?

You left out some vital information though - does the white stuff smell?!!!

I just nearly spat my tea all over the keyboard - the connection with my username didn't occur to me. Just as well I'm on my own in the office at the moment!

For the record, I do not warm my nose anywhere else (and certainly not there - eeewwwwww!!!) ? ?

Mwnci that's exactly what I was thinking too! ?

Ah poor nutfluff!

Holio I nearly brought up my jacket potato then!!

I can hand on heart say I've never smelt it!

You bunch of dirty bitches ?

Do people really not like their belly button being touched? I feel like I've just found out everyone is dressed when I'm naked...I love my bellybutton being touched and thought that was the purpose of navel rings? In fact I need to make sure my clothes don't move my belly ring too much or I end up having to control myself in public...

No stinkiness now though, it gets a regular cleaning, though certainly not in public.

Gah, I've just realised, that will be another thing exes thought was particularly strange.

Ex Mr Dief had the holes at the top of his ears - it's apparently the end of your sinus tube. His used to (probably still do) get blocked, and he could pick a crust out of it....

? Ah bless, bless, bless you!

I have a belly button piercing but don't wear anything in there now. While my belly button itself doesn't smell, I do find that if I try to insert something into the piercing it'll push gunk out of the other end that really smells cheesy,

Fluff diving ?

Sugar puffs ?

This is a brilliant thread.

My tip of nose gets cold when nothing else is too. I warm mine in MrH's ear hole. It smells a bit in there, but not too bad. I'd much prefer it to belly button.

I overheard the most disgusting thing ever about body part smells - my brother and his 16 year old mate were discussing the 16 year old's newborn sister.

Boy: There is one really weird thing about her though.

Brother: What?

Boy: Her head smells like minge.

Brother: <pause> That's your mum's minge, mate.

? <snort>

? 16 is a great age ! ?

I've just done the horrid test and my belly button is clean smelling and lovely ? although I'm getting the weird sensation that others have had.

Mine was minging just after i had my laporoscopy...

when i took the plaster off i thought i had threadworms in my belly button. i was so freaked out i stuck the plaster back on. ?

and then i realised it was the stitches...?

I've just checked [yuck] and my belly button is clean and doesn't smell. I do get the white worm thingies from the pierced holes in my ears that I no longer put earrings in, what is it? It doesn't smell or anyfink that I've noticed.

This thread it lovely! Really cheered me up!! For the record my belly button is lovely and clean, its not very deep, and its quite wide so no extra cleaning required! hehe!!!

I

I have holes in the top of my ear that do that too! I was told they were 'Abnormal sinuses' by an ENT Dr.

Another one who's just poked her belly button! I get that weird painful/tickly feeling too but it didn't smell of anything.

HH I can squeeze white stuff out of the hole where my belly bar was too. What is that stuff?!

My belly button smells rank if I stink my finger in, I try to clean it with cotton buds but it goes really red and sore. It usually has dirty goopy stuff in it too. It smells like the stuff that comes out of my earring holes and is so pungent if you wipe it on someone else it makes them stink for ages ?

Oh and I also get a weird sensation when I poke stuff in it, kind of like someone sticking a poker up my chuff.

I officially ming.

Oh god that is so funny ?

Those with smelly navels should try tea tree oil (appropriately diluted).

Those with funny sensations elsewhere should read up on the urachus. (But for those who can't be bothered there is a tube between the bladder and the umbilical cord in one stage of fetal development, and I expect the connection is reflected in the sensory nerve supply.)

And those with holes in ears since babyhood have some kind of congential sinus; so many different bits have to join up round your ear that it's not surprising it's not always 100% smooth.

Ooh thats very interesting. Until today I thought I was the only one with the ear hole thing and the funny sensations!

My belly button has stunk for years! I mentioned it to someone at work who's a micrbiologist and she wanted to smell it to see if she could ID it! I took a swab and we grew it up at work, but it wasn't v.impressive. I tried savlon and that cleared it for a bit, but it came back so I tried germolene and that did nothing.
I mentioned it to the doctor while I was there for something else and he just said it's 'cos I'm fat ?
The just before xmas, it went really horrible! It hurt and there was loads of red stuff coming out ?
I went to the nurse for a swab and it came back 'various anaerobes isolated' and I have metronidozole cream (which is for rosacea) It's not gone though, there's still a bit lurking at the bottom every time I reapply the cream-I may have to apply it forever-noooo!

I get the wierd feeling too.

Loving this thread.

Non stinky belly button here. Can i just add that one of the most mingin things I have ever seen was my belly button the day after I had given birth. Blleeuugggghhhh.

ellena-sorry to be the one to break this to you, but I *think* anaerobes = poo-ey type matter. I have a smelly belly button too ? I personally am going to try the diluted tea tree oil suggested earlier. I`ll skulk back off to BT now before I embarrass myself any further
