Bellybutton fluff, what is it and where is it from?

Question

and is it true that boys have blue bellybutton fluff and girls have pink bellybutton fluff?

Answer 1

It's lint from your clothes/towel. It just gets trapped in thier. The color depends on the color clothes/towel you use!

Answer 2

Scientifically - it is a layer of anti-clogged silicon particles that form a kind of whirlwind in the lower cavitys of any bodily system ie your bellybutton. Held by the earth gravitational pull and bound by the three moons of Saturn the fluff will change colour thoughout the day - ancient druids called this Haraew. DO NOT pick it out. This causes an upset in the space/time continuem and you are likely to cause a nuclear war with a middle eastern country - Iraq is a good bet. If it all kicks off i'll know who to blame.

Answer 3

It depends on what style of belly button you have.
Bulbous belly buttons usually stay fluff free.
But indented types can end up with enough fibre to knit a scarf.
It's a matter of complicated physics, explains dermatologist Neil Goldberg.
The excess heat and humidity from the umbilicus - the stump of the umbilical cord - combined with the natural skin folds, trap a mixture of water, dust, skin oils and clothing fibre.Okay, maybe it's not that complicated.But why it's always blue is yet to be investigated.

Answer 4

Navel lint, or more commonly belly button lint or fluff, is an accumulation of fluffy fibres in one's navel.
Many people find that, at the beginning and end of the day, a small lump of fluff has appeared in the navel cavity. The reasons for this have been the subject of idle speculation for many years but in 2001, Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki of the University of Sydney, Australia undertook a systematic survey to determine the ins and outs of navel lint. His primary findings were as follows:
Navel lint consists primarily of stray fibres from one's clothing, mixed with some dead skin cells and strands of body hair. The rotting cells can create unpleasant odors.
Contrary to expectations, navel lint appears to migrate upwards from underwear rather than downwards from shirts or tops. The migration process is the result of the frictional drag of body hair on underwear, which drags stray fibres up into the navel.
Women experience less navel lint because of their finer and shorter body hairs. Conversely, older men experience it more because of their coarser and more numerous hairs.
Navel lint's characteristic blue tint is due to the existence of blue fibres in most clothing.
The existence of navel lint is entirely harmless, and requires no corrective action. The colour is varied, depending on what colour clothes you wear!!!

Answer 5

Belly button fluff! Thats a new way to describe that stuff. It is actually sweat and lint that gets caught in the folds of your belly button.

Answer 6

its just fluff that gets in there. and no boys dont have blue and girls have pink.

Answer 7

Contrary to popular believe it is not fibres from your clothes.

When your asleep at night bed bugs come out of your bedding are attracted by the warmth of your body. Their natural instincts are to build a nest in a small dark warm crevice. they do this by collecting any fibres they can find.

Just be thankful they choose your belly button
