Tiny Belly Button Ring Simple Navel Hoop Handmade Opal Piercing Jewelry

Product Information

Once you're at the appointment, your piercer will take a look at your navel and talk to you about the best route in terms of jewelry and placement. Things like the shape of your navel — meaning an innie or an outie, or even the amount of skin you have to work with — will guide the type of jewelry you should be pierced with. Harris also says there are some people who might want to reconsider getting their belly button pierced at all, but it's something you can talk about at your appointment. "It's a case-by-case basis," he says. "I'd rather not do it if I think it's going to cause you problems or your body will just end up rejecting it."

Belly button yeast infection: A belly button yeast infection is a type of fungal infection that affects the skin around the belly button. Also known as candidiasis, belly button yeast infections occur when there is an overgrowth of Candida yeast in the area. This can be caused by factors such as poor hygiene, wearing tight clothing or belly button piercings that traps moisture, a weakened immune system, or taking antibiotics that disrupt the natural balance of bacteria and fungi in your body. Some studies have also shown that yeast infections are more common in those with diabetes, as yeast feeds off of sugar, and those with diabetes often have increased or unmanageable blood sugar levels. Symptoms of a belly button yeast infection include redness and itching around the belly button, flaky or peeling skin, and small bumps or blisters. Treatment typically involves keeping the area clean and dry, using antifungal creams or ointments as directed by a healthcare professional, and making lifestyle changes to prevent future infections. Even in scenarios where the piercing studio maintains the highest standards of hygiene, the risk isn't entirely eliminated. The reason? Our daily environment is filled with microorganisms, and the piercing, until it's fully healed, is a vulnerable spot. When we talk about a naval piercing, it's not a one-size-fits-all process. The technique can differ based on the individual's anatomy, the type of jewelry chosen, and the piercer's expertise. Your body's overall health plays a pivotal role in the healing process. Drinking plenty of water and maintaining a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can boost your body's natural healing process. Vitamins C and E, in particular, are known for their skin-repairing properties. Don't: Touch with Unwashed Hands The clitoris is also quite sensitive and contains thousands of nerve endings. Even if you’re pretty tolerant to pain, a clitoris piercing may hurt many times worse than any other piercing pain. Nipple piercing pain level

What types of belly button piercings can you get?

A belly button piercing (or a navel piercing) is located in, around, or through the navel. Most belly button piercings are done just above the belly button.

One common concern is getting "the bump" near your navel area during the healing process. The main thing to know: don't freak out. "The bumps are usually temporary, cosmetic, and will eventually clear up with a little extra care and caution," Harris says. "Normally, I have clients start with a daily hot compress to the area, which helps draw out the irritation and shrink the bumps down. If that's not working, sometimes changing up the jewelry you have in can help."
