Can you sleep on your stomach with a new belly button piercing?

Can you sleep on your stomach with a new belly button piercing?

Pat your piercing and stomach dry with a disposable paper towel. Ask your piercer about saline or sea salt soaks if your navel piercing is irritated during the healing process. Sleeping on top of the piercing with your stomach to the bed may cause irritation and interrupt the healing process.

Should I twist my belly button piercing?

You should never twist, turn or slide your belly button ring to loosen crusties. Simply apply a sea salt solution-soaked cotton ball to soften them, and then gently wipe the crusties away with a clean tissue.

Is my belly piercing infected or healing?

It is important to monitor how symptoms change. If symptoms, such as pain, steadily improve, the piercing is probably healing normally. If a person suddenly experiences new symptoms, especially after a period of few or no symptoms, this can signal an infection.

What should a healing belly piercing look like?

When a piercing is new, it’s normal to see some swelling, redness, or discoloration around the site. You may also have some clear discharge that dries and forms a crystal-like crust around the piercing. These symptoms should get better over time, not worse.

Can I exercise after belly piercing?

Normal exercise is perfectly safe after piercing your navel. Simply keep your piercing clean and avoid tight clothing, so it doesn’t irritate the piercing while it’s healing. Consult the piercer and your doctor if your piercing shows signs of infection.

Can you do sit ups with a belly button piercing?

You can still do sit-ups and other exercises when your piercing is healing as long as you don’t experience too much discomfort from the movement. The best way to care for the piercing is to wash it with saline solution two times a day for at least the first month of healing.

Can you wear tight clothes after a belly button piercing?

DON’T wear tight clothes such as pantyhose, tight jeans or skirts (during the healing phase) because they can cause the piercing to grow out, which means that the piece of flesh taken by the piercing gradually diminishes until the ring finally comes out; after the piercing is healed you may wear anything you like.
