It has come to my attention that I've got some fluff in my belly button!

No big deal you may think, but I cannot stand touching my navel, even less having anyone else touch it - even the thought of it makes me squirm.

Therefore, I need your timely advice for instant removal of fluff.

This is where I need Mae or Tulip's advice - they cant come out of retirement for just one thread can they?

Anyone know of a navel shower attachment, or maybe a hoover attachment or maybe Dyson make something! :D

cant answer your questions but i know of a distraction technique that works when you need to do something unpleasant. recite the 7x table as you move your hand to the area of fluff and remove.......keeps you mentally one step away from the horror!!!

Cotton bud should do it, dab with a a bit of antiseptic.

Belly button fluff is caused by your clothes getting traped in your belly button hair :naughty:

But what if I don't know my 7x table Tonee, how will that distract my attention away from Bob's disparaging remarks? :)

dab with a a bit of antiseptic

:w00t: Yeah baby!

But what if I don't know my 7x table Tonee, how will that distract my attention away from Bob's disparaging remarks? :)

then write the 7x table down and read it as you take the dripping cotton bud to the site of the operation!

:w00t: Yeah baby!

get in there Dab! Drop on your tongue should do it!

LOL Dab, don't know about antiseptic, you'd need anesthetic to get anywhere near my belly button - and a fair amount of chloroform. :D

maybe in addition to the mental reciting and the dripping cotton bud, you should cover your face with a mask. O2 mask obviously but in true Blue Peter style a paper bag would suffice (make sure there is a hole for breathing or you shouldnt try this at home)

The paper bag isn't a problem Tonee. I'm already wearing mine in readiness for a visit to the mingers bar later. :bag:

I have a nifty little gadget that is a mini vacuum cleaner which is supposed to get crumbs and things out of the keyboard but it doesn't because the said crumbs all seem to disappear underneath the keys so I don't really need it.

Make me a suitable offer and it's yours. I'm sure it would be just perfect for the job. I don't think I need it, but there again, I haven't seen my belly button for so long it could have a whole jumper in there for all I know. :sad:

now there's an image....i think nox should make a good offer for such a life saving device!

I recommend you have it pierced Nox then no belly button fluff will ever accumulate again :D

Now listen ILS, I'm trying to get a good offer on my JML Belly Button Fluff Remover.

Don't have it pierced Nox, cos you will only get a collection of pus and pain.

Go for my fluff remover :bye: Willing to swop for anything useful.

Okay, a serious situation requires a serious solution. Here it is.

Requirements:

1 heavy duty magnet
1 4ft length sticking plaster
1 creme caramel mould
1 thimblefull iron filings
1 trampoline


Instructions:

Lie on back and empty iron filings into belly button, taking care not to touch any part of said area in order to avoid squirmy freak-out reaction. Position creme caramel mould to cover belly button completely and prevent escape of iron filings. Hold in place and stand up. Wind sticking plaster round and round waist to fix creme caramel mould in place. Climb onto trampoline and bouncy bouncy somersault twist to your heart's content. Recover. Stand close to magnet, belly button forward. Unwind sticking plaster and remove creme caramel mould. Watch magnetised iron filing/belly button fluff mixture fly out and cling to magnet.


Caution:

Do not operate magnet or trampoline near to computer.

:thumbsup:

Sorry Crit, I was only trying to be helpful, as I have not had any belly button fluff since the day I had mine pierced!

now the question is, did that originate from your imagination or is this an example of your saturday morning ritual?

Blimey dabster! Did you make that up or google it :ohmy:

It's the product of my fertile imagination. I just hope Nox posts the pictures! :photo:

Sadly puts fluff remover thingy back in drawer now Dabs has come up with brilliant idea

Great Idea Dab :thumbsup:

BTW Nox, don't pinch my idea and try using the normal vac hose cos if you have an "inny" BB you might end out with an "outy" BB :ohmy:

Here you go Nox, a device with two uses.

First it is a beautiful piece of jewellery, and second you have a handy portable belly button fluff remover.

Well, I never knew there were so many ways to remove belly button fluff. You learn something new every day.

What does one do with the creme caramel mixture after removal Dab - Am I meant to eat it or put it in a jar on display?

ILS, no way would I ever have it pierced lol.

Crit, I'll swop you the belly button fluff remover for my ear wax candle making kit if you want. The vac option is beginning to sound a bit risky!

Andrea, that's brilliant. I'll never have to worry about belly button fluff again if I get myself one of those. The pink one's rather fetching don't you think.

I'd like to know how you discovered you had fluff in your belly button, Nox, if you weren't having a fiddle with it. I can't remember the last time I looked in mine. It may be full to bursting for all I know.

I recommend you have it pierced Nox then no belly button fluff will ever accumulate again :D

But wouldn't she get scabs instead?

dab with a bit of antiseptic


what, on his tongue?

But wouldn't she get scabs instead?

I'm getting squeamish now :sick:

I've had another idea. :idea:

I've got a bottle of wine in the fridge which I may open later. Should I:

a) drink the whole lot, fish around for the offending bit of fluff and hope I have no recollection of the experience in the morning.

b) Pour the wine into my belly button, wiggle about a bit and hope that the wine loosens the fluff enough for it to float out all by itself?

A nox, definitely option A

I would opt for the blackout myself. Dont waste the wine getting tangled up in fluff. You could always have a bath. now there's a thought, when was the last time you had a bath and soaked the fluff away. Are you minging because of this phobia??

(a) of course never waste the wine.

Open the wine then use the corkscrew to get the fluff out.

Anyone know of a navel shower attachment, or maybe a hoover attachment or maybe Dyson make something! :D

I have used all these things Nox ... although I'm operating them at approximately 8 inches beneath my belly button ... whatever it works cos afterwards I couldn't care less about my belly button hair!!! :devil:

I think Nox may just have gone into spasm!!!!

:shocking: :shocking: :shocking:

Send the medical team, I need reviving

Nox get someone to pick it out for you - if you don't like picking yourself!!

I have to agree that belly buttons are so nauseous - I feel sick if I even think of mine! But I didn't know that belly buttons had hair in them!! That is even more nausetiating than baldy ones!!

Urghhhhhhhhh!!

I personally think Crits mini hoover sounds like the best idea, bottle of wine and then the hoover. Although Dab's has the potential to be a great 'You've Been Framed Moment' so add 250 smackeroonies to the equation, it still sounds a bit precarious!

OK, I'm going in - wish me luck!!!!

live on webcam?!

No but the video is available in any good retail outlet at £9.99.

It was horrible, just horrible. I literally had to go and have a lie down afterwards as I felt quite faint!

I knew there was a lot of fluff in there but even I didn't expect to find this!

ahhh! how sweet! I'm gonna clean out my belly button now!

I remember as a little girl my dad always used to get belly button fluff. I used to find it funny trying to get it out for him (i was only about 4 years old at the time) :bag: He told me he had a little mouse in his belly button, and when i went to remove the fluff he made him belly wobble and said i had disturbed the mouse - which always made me scream !!!!

Was that child abuse :ohmy:

I just stick my finger in my belly button when I am showering and give it a good clean, then rinse it out with the shower. Am I the only person that does this? :unsure:

I just wash mine with the spray from the shower! I have never found it needed any prodding!

Perhaps all you need to do in future Noxy, is to shower every day :wink2: :laugh:

Now THERE'S a radical concept..... :shock:

I just stick my finger in my belly button when I am showering and give it a good clean, then rinse it out with the shower. Am I the only person that does this? :unsure:

No Ceri, I do this to, a good old root every morning in the shower:w00t:

I dont think i have purposefully cleaned my belly button :ohmy: I just give my body a general all round clean daily, and i assumed it went into all my nooks and crannys :ninja:

Can't believe a thread on belly button fluff has generated nearly 50 replies already!

I, myself, have never had the unfortunate problem of belly button fluff even though i have an "inny". Perhaps the hair around it keeps it out :unsure:

Nox, Id say to hell with all these high tech gadgets etc. The best way to get rid of it is to get over your fear and have a good pick!
