Why does lint collect in your navel?

It is the skin-mites making a nest!

A fun question, but there is no way to know the answer, nor does the answer ultimately matter.  \n\nNevertheless, I'll admit it would be a fun after-dinner conversation starter. <grin>  \n\nPerhaps the better question, if you assume that they DID have belly buttons, is this -- would Adam have collected lint in his belly button prior to taking a bite from the apple or would he only have collected lint after taking the bite?

The theory goes like this: since our bellybuttons are linked directly to the rest of our body it is effected by the macrosystem. So if we have BO problem, our belly button is caught in the...uh... middle?\n\nAnd since we normally can't bend as far as necessary to smell it, we can only guess from a distance. Something smells: is it us, or is our bellybutton?\n\nThat's how the bellybutton gets all the blame.\n\nSo the moral of the story is: don't get caught in the middle.

I think it's a hygiene issue more then anything. I know for girls there can be discharge (sorry to gross you out guys if you didn't know that already) and as well, it's a comfort thing. I know that when I wear jeans with nothing else, it tends to hurt down there and get irritated.. Don't know for guys though if that happens? I have heard about zipper accidents without underwear though!! Ouch!!

Why are you playing with or pressing your belly button to begin with?!?...So you cannot blame us if we are thinking the way we are!....Were you cleaning your belly button?  If so, then I can understand.  There are nerve endings there almost like the bottoms of some folks feet.  Some are ticklish there and some are not!

I noticed that a load of clothes had been in the dryer for two cycles and was still wet.  I figured something must be clogged up.  So I went outside to check the dryer vent---sure enough it was plugged up with lint.  The dryer vent is about at eye level, so I walked up to it and began cleaning the big globs of lint out of it.  I finally yanked one big piece free and all the loose lint that had been building up in the pipes was suddenly blown out the dryer vent right into my face.\n\n When the last big block finally broke free I had this split second vision of a fog of lint headed towards my face.  I opened my mouth to say "Oh s h i t"---that's when I got the mouthful of lint.\n\nI spent the next 20 minutes getting lint out of my eyes, nose, mouth and ears. \n\nI never claimed to be overly bright.

You should take them out now because your boobs are gonna get huge. Im 24 weeks pregnant. your nipples might start to push out the rings and they can get infected. I still have my bellybutton ring in tho. LOL

Don't mean to gross you out any further but...\n\nBelly button fluff gravitates (or anti-gravitates) from the pubic area upwards.\n\n.

we dont.  lol.\n\nits so that if you have any leak/mess, it goes on the underwear instead of the pants.  also, if the paramedics or someone else has to remove your clothes, you are still covered in your personal areas.  also, so you can wear the same clothes more than one day, and if you change your underwear, you wont feel dirty down there.  also, when you 'fool around' with your bf/gf, there's more to remove and its more fun - also, you can cuddle in just your underwear (that's fun!)\n\nps. you dont have to wear undies if you dont want - us guys wont complain.  = )    Oh yeah, also, when you bend over and your but crack shows, your undies are supposed to cover it.

It could be from your underwear. Could be your laundry detergent. Could be your toilet tissue. Use only white toilet tissue, only wear panties with the cotton seat, and try to use very mild laundry detergents.

Depending upon what you mean by pick.  BB's that are inzies collect icky stuff and need to be cleaned regularly or they are stinky (I bet outzies didn't know that about us). If you don't clean it out, it will continue to gather - more than lint and can get compacted and infected.\n\nI've heard stories about extra sized people with huge BB's and all the icky muck that surgeons find in there when they have to go in and clean them out....ewwwwww

I'm gonna have to go with my gut and say that a having an extra sac (even if it's filled with air or pus) is probably a bad thing. Of course, I'm not a doctor, so it may be really great. Might wanna swing by the M.D. just to check.

Dr. Oz was just on Oprah yesterday and he said to measure at your belly button!\n\nI don't think it matters where your pants sit.  If you wore low-waisted pants, you wouldn't measure around your hips.  All pants are cut different, so that isn't always a good indicator of where your physical waist is.\n\nHe also said you can suck it in as much as you want when you measure your waist!
