smelly belly

i have a VERY innie bellybutton. downright cavernous. I'm pretty average in weight, but my belly button just feels like it goes on forever. My boyfriend really likes to play with it (ie: sticking fingers in, rubbing etc), but we've both noticed lately... that it's adopted a most unpleasant odor.

has anyone else experienced this? it smells downright aweful. it's been around for about a week and a half (i thought it was related to menstruation, but that's been overwith for about a week now). I've been cleaning really well in the shower, and i even tried to dry out with Qtips a few times. it always clears up immediately but is back by the end of the day.

i've never had this as a problem before.

any advice would be much appreciated

 

Next time before you bathe, lay on your back and let a little hydrogen peroxide soak in there. It should help. Yo might want to take a flashlite and have him poke around in there a bit too.


Sorry if this is the women's corner

 

belly buttons are naturally the most unpleasant smelling part of everyone's body. i found that out yesterday i'm not really sure what to tell you about cleaning it though, sorry

 

It's normal...all that "belly lint" collects and becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. Just washing it in the shower with soap should suffice.

 

Yeah, clean it out with alcohol or something, that'll do ya some good. There's actually as fungus that grows from your belly button and out around it. It's like yellowish and kind of scally and nasty looking. I think you only get it though if you've really never cleaned it out, so you should be good.

 

Cornstarch. After you get out of the shower put some cornstarch in your bellybutton. I'm telling you it works.

 

There was this kid on my lacrosse team in high school whose belly button smelled exactly the same as his ass. He was a bit of a freak, but he literally would offer up 'smell' tests to some of the other players. I tell you, if there is one place that I do not miss in life, it is the locker room of high school boys sports team - weird shit happens.

 

haha that's fucking nasty.

 

Maybe your BF has dirty fingers. Tell him that you get no pleasure out of it so you wont have to worry bout the issue.

 

hehehe, wow that is pretty disturbing.

well today after showering i just put a little antibiotic ointment in there, and though unpleasantly sticky, it did seem to ward off both the smell and the fingers.

i actually don't mind it that much, but i understand it seems kind of weird, i guess. if the terror returns i'll be sure to try some of your suggestions. i must admit i'm a bit wary of the cornstarch, though, haha.

 

I would try babypowder !! Personally I 've never had that problem!!

 

I can see how the cornstarch may sound a little weird but I got the idea one day when I got out of the shower and there's a little thing of cornstarch in there for diaper rash. I thought hey it works for diaper rash it must work for belly button. It basically just drys it out.

 

Wash it out with some bong water.

 

Ahhh Corn Starch - a cook's best friend. Anyone (well males at least) who have ever cooked in a restaurant will no exactly what I am talking about.

 

Damn straight, haha, thats what i was thinkin when i saw cornstarch

 

oh i'm so curious! please share!

 

Phase one: q-tip

Phase two: rubbing alcohol

I think they are talking about using it as lube Evie Snatch... I honestly don't know on this one...

 

well in the summer time, ya need to sweat more in the kitchen b/c of the humidity, so yer uh, testicles get sweaty also and ya tend to get a heat rash. Also known as cooks ass. Can be quite painful, and when ya walk it looks like ya just rode a horse across the country. Cornstarch absorbs the swear, if ya get my dirft...

 

Cornstarch is the oppisite of a lube...

 

Oh, good advice, it gets hot as fuck here. thanks for sharing.
