Belly buttons

Do you have any inny or outty?  What about DH?

Do you often "collect" lint in yours?

______

DH seriously gathers a little lint ball in his EVERYDAY.  It's disgusting!!

Re: Belly buttons

  • I have an inny, so does hubby. As far as lint goes...mine doesn't collect any, and i'm not sure about hubbys. it's not something iv ever seen...nor thought to ask lol

  • This post totally reminds me a the Belly Button Book by Sandra Boynton. We read it at least 5 times a day..

    Soon after dark, upon the beach, we sing a hippo song, and if you?re feeling in the mood, we hope you?ll sing along: ?Belly Belly Button, you?re oh so fine. Ooo, Belly Button, I?m so happy you?re mine.? 

    Anyways, mine is an inny and I dont think I have ever had an issue with lint..

  • we both have innies, and no lint has ever been reported lol
  • I have a deeeeep innie.  As in- I can put my whole pinkie finger in there (TMI!!).  I have to clean it every so often.  When DH sees me do it he jokes that I might pull an old boot or a tire out of it- haha.  DH has a shallow innie.  Lucky him.
  • We both have innies and I don't believe I've ever found lint in mine.  If Chris collects it, he's never told me - haha! 

    And, I must say how proud I am that mine is STILL an innie almost a month before my due date!  So I'm hoping to keep it that way.  What's funny is that I had it pierced and now the hole is almost an inch above the middle of my belly button...which tells me just how much of an innie I had to begin with!

    We both have innies.

    I don't ever collect lint. But when Dave worked on job sites he'd come home with frikkin blown-in insulation in there. Certainly a WTF moment.

    lol, too cute!  How long before pregnancy did you take out the piercing?

     

    We both have innies and I don't get lint, but seriously, DH is a freak and has a ton!

  • I have an innie but this is a new thing for me, I used to have both, crazy, I know. Basically it didn't stick out but wasn't a hole, you could clearly see something in there, it looked like a swirl, and I could pull the inside part out and make it an outtie. That outtie part just went away within the last year and now I am strictly an innie.

     DH is an innie too and yes he does collect lint and it totally grosses me out.

    I actually took it out after I got pregnant...maybe at 12 or 15 weeks?  It was starting to get a little tight, so I figured that it was a good idea to remove it so I wouldn't have to have it cut out - ha!

    I have an innie (and it is a deep inie, thankfully... hopefully will stay innie when/if I have kids!) and so does Keith.  I RARELY get any lint in mine.  (like, maybe 3 times in my life or something?) and I have no idea about Keith. lmao

    I've ALWAYS been fascinated with how some pregnant women end up with outie belly buttons. I always imagined there was some point at which it would "pop" out with an awesome sound effect. LOLing at myself...

    I have an innie, as does DH. I collect no lint (had lint one or two times in 31 years), whereas DH gets lint all.the.time. Ewww!!!1

  • This has got to be one of the weirdest questions I've answered in a long time!

    We both have innies, but no lint, at least not that he's talking to me about, anyway.  Mine, however, is approaching star-shaped after a number of laparascopic surgery scars and one rather unfortunate incident involving my Boston Terrier and a navel ring...let's just say that was some incredible pain!

    One of my daughters has a "flattie"...she's so thin and muscular that there's no indention, just a little dimple.  I think it's really cute. :)

    My brothers was like this until this year. it was the strangest thing bc everybody in my family has deep innies. lol.

    I have innie. So does DH- his is really shallow and always collects lint- while I never collect lint.

    Btw this thread made me giggle the whole way through. haha
