you have much self luv... good for you!

I find it satisfying to gouge out the depths of my navel with a matchstick. This would be a perfect pastime except for the fact I get shooting pains in my bum-hole if I dig too deep.

It is very possible that you have a fungal growth in your belly button. It's actually not that uncommon and can be treated with a lotion type thing. I advise you go to your doctor, they can clear it up. And no I am not bein sarcastic, I am being quite serious since my friend had the same problem and one day decided to ask her doctor.

Could just be a hygienic thing ... belly buttons can accumulate sweat and bacteria. Wash it daily, and don't forget to rinse and dry it thoroughly.

Wipe it out with a bit of mild astringent on a cotton pad too if you like. The creases surrounding and behind the ears can also get like this.

well my sister has the same exact problem and i think its normal. and strangely she likes how it smells. i smelled it a few times and nearly died. it was BAD!! completly normal. maybe clean it or something. or get deoderant for it

Yeah i have the same prob i always thought it was my stomach leaking.

sounds like a bacterial infection..inner belly buttons often get warm and are subject to all sort of nasties...can produce nasty smells and puss. treat with savlon cream or canesten cream twice a day using a cotton bud until the symptoms disappear. the antiseptic should kill off the bacteria. clean using a cotton bud too to prevent the bacteria growing back.

i almost hate to say it... but i do it too. even though it smells yucky there's something about it that makes me want to dig in and smell it again. are here anymore of you bbsniffers there???

Don't sniff it and it wont matter if it is smelly or not, no one else is going to sniff it

its a natural fact, any orifice in the human body smells.you just gotta keep it clean. you should be fine

that's disgusting. please clean it out.

Find a man who loves smelly bellies, then he can lick it for you.

Try Sudocrem, I find it works and stops the smell

well belly buttons allow water to pass through it and the trapping dead skin and who knows what when u shower!
its smelly cuz you never clean it after showering use a qtip and clean it with isotropyl alchohol

mine smells like when my peirced ears get infected. cleaning it does the trick.

I've had the same issue for years. About once per month I take 1 tsp. of peroxide and lay flat on my back and pour it in a little at a time--for about 15 minutes (let it bubble). Then, I clean it with a dry Q-tip. You might want to see your doctor about it. Am thinking about asking him. Could be a sign of a larger problem brewing.

It really is hygienic. Just wash it. Mine smells sometimes too, if you want to know the truth...Haha.

MY BELLY BUTTON STANK TOO!!! I THOUGHT IT WAS JUS ME!

Iiiiiiiiiiiuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I think you´re weird friend.Sorry.My belly button smells too.But I don´t like its smells!

wow look at all the people with smelly belly buttons, definitely not normal. btw, my belly button smells like s#!^ lol

Get a Q tip and some isopropyl alcohol and swab it out, sugarmuffin. Nobody's going to do it for you...

man, you guys got some real issues. rank belly buttons? what you been putting in there? my belly button never stinks and there never anything abnormal in it that would requirethe placement of H2O2 into it.
i suggest you seeing a mental health professional.

Haa Not only did i think i was the only one with a smelly belly button, But i thought i was the only one who kinda liked the smell too!

Clean it!!! With a Q tip and Vaseline!!

So simple. I have a "deep inni" also. Buy bar antibacterial soap. Lather a Q-tip and clean inside gently, then rinse well. I do this about once a week in the shower. No more smellies!

My ex girlfriend does this, fucking disgusting. She also did the same with her butthole... fucking nasty.

mine recently got smellier. i noticed when my dog kept smelling my belly button and wouldnt get off it. looks like they love it too. its like smelling ur own fart. im a bit worried though cuz mine bleeds when i fiddle too much plus its ridiculously deep anyway.

Wow, I was actually sticking my finger in my bellybutton and sniffing it when I found this post. How ironic.

Not only do I sniff my rank belly button, but I also sniff my armpits, crotch, plumber's crack, feet, and the crud I scrape off the back of my ears. Each location has its uniquely stinky flavor. Is there something wrong with me?

Oh, and I forgot the most obvious sniffery of them all: my farts. I love to smell the food I ate 6 hours ago resurface with shit smell in my gas.

how lol i cant even get semi close

Just... don't smell it...

hahha, Redscar13, "i just thought it was my stomach leaking" haha like your belly button is some loosely sealed portal to your stomach.

i know a guy who's bb is deep, and everyone jokes about good punishment, being to smell it. cause i guess its baaad.

hahaha, i absolutely hate the smell of belly buttons and belly button lint. it's one of my pet peeves and i get really turned off when my "significant other" has either, or points either out.

EEEEEWWWWWW grossss! clean it everyday! yuck!

Try consuming less sugar and simple carbohydrates (for me it was soda and pasta). I'm serious, pay attention to how much you've consumed over the days before the smell is present. It is the only solution that has worked for me.

take some Purell hand sanitizer and rub it into your belly button. The antibacterial sanitizer will kill the odor-causing germs. I did it yesterday and my belly button is still odor-free!
