How to Clean Your Belly Button

March 13, 2009

Several years ago it was unseemly for a person to show their belly button in public. It was so bad that Barbra Eden was forced to use makeup to mask her naval when she was dressed in her midriff-bearing genie costume. Times have changed and now, thanks to low riding pants and tiny shirts, everywhere you look someone is bearing their belly button. The belly button’s increased visibility makes it extremely important that you keep it clean.

If the idea of having the entire world looking at your belly button isn’t enough incentive to clean your belly button, just think about how painful it would be if your belly button were to get infected.

Be Careful

It is very important that you are careful when you are cleaning your belly button. It is one of the most sensitive areas of your body. Never, ever insert anything sharp into your naval when you are cleaning it.

What You’ll Need

Before you start to clean your belly button you will need to gather your supplies. This means you should get out one or two cotton balls and a bottle of baby oil. If you find that the lint in your belly button is particularly stubborn you may want to use a q-tip. If you notice a strong odor coming from your naval area, use some feminine wash to flush your belly button.

The best time to clean your belly button is right before you take a shower. The shower will wash away any excess baby oil.

In addition to your cleaning products, you should wear clothes that you can spill baby oil on without ruining them.

Get Comfortable

Spread a towel on the floor somewhere and lay down on your back. You’re going to be here for a few minutes, so make sure you’re comfortable.

The Cleaning Process

Cup your hand and pour a small amount of the baby oil into your palm, hold it for a few seconds and allow the baby oil to warm up. Pour the baby oil into your naval and allow it to soak for 5-15 minutes.

When you are satisfied that the oil has had an opportunity to loosen all the lint and dirt in your belly button, use the cotton to gently swab at your naval. Do not press too hard or rub too aggressively, as this could cause your belly button to get bruised
