Well because bellybuttons are a cavity and clothes lint, dust and grime tend to fall in and get stuck in the oily bodily excretions. You just have to douche the smelly little hole out every now and then.

Because they're a depression and the dust from clothing, etc. settles there. As for lent, belly buttons don't get involved with that until Easter when the Easter Bunny jams eggs in while you're sleeping.

Sarah, the belly button has horizontal surfaces which can collect dust, lint, and other objects, such as coins, and liquids. You can use a cotton swab to clean the cave like structure of the belly button. If you can't see it, I can be consulted to clean it for you.

The dust and lint are attracted to the dying skin cells in the belly button and feed on them.

the simplest answer is it is the dirt and fabric wearing off as the material rubs against the skin. Your belly button is a human lint trap just like one in a dryer.

Your clothes release lint and your body sweats and since it's like a little ditch, it all gets trapped in there.

Maybe because people don't pay much attention to them. They're kind of just there.

probably not dust but lint and soap and dead skin, I know that is gross but true you can clean it
