How to Clean Your Belly Button (from WikiHow)
Steps:
1. Gather your supplies. You will need a few cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol to safely clean out your navel.
2. Give yourself plenty of time. You could hurt yourself rushing. Be very patient.
3. Dip one head of the cotton swab into the rubbing alcohol and gently stretch one side of your belly button with one hand. Rest the other hand (the one with the swab) in such a way it stretches out the other side of your navel.
4. Gently work your way around the belly button.
5. Discard old swabs and repeat the process if your navel is still dirty.
Tips
* Don't push too hard. Be gentle!
* also another important tip for those whose belly buttons are clean but smell bad and the skin is red. Use a wash that is for sensitive skin (you can also use femine wash). The most common reason why belly buttons smell is that when you wash with bar soap and do not rinse well your skin becomes dry and irritated.
* Q-tips are the same thing as cotton swabs, they are just a brand name.
* Using the rubbing alcohol shouldn't burn, unless you have a cut or sore in your navel. But, if for some reason it does irritate you try Witch Hazel. Hydrogen Peroxide works as well.
* Your belly button is a closed, healed area of your stomach, nothing should be able to enter that way. Ask your doctor if it concerns you.

It's not bad, lol.
It could be worse, when I was 5 I went under surgery, because I ahd a hernia, the size of a golf ball! Oh gosh, I rember the surgury quite well too. -.- {I was out during operating, but I rember before and after}
I rember sitting on a coutner lined up with a whole bunch of other kids being asked "Do you want, Strawberry or bubblegum flavored medicine.?"
Then I rember being taken out of the room, through glass doors with yellow oak frames. Then my memory goes blank-
The last thing I rember was waking up in a room, on a table on a stage sort of thing, there were several chairs around me{Sorta like movie theater seats, I rember getting sick to my stomache} Then walking to the parking lot with my mom and siste,r and telling thme I was hungry and wanted McDonalds{Rember I was only 5}
ANYWAYS!
I suggest using soap and warm water yes a Q tip is fine! =D
I would clean it whenever is convinent for you.
Rember- it could be SO much worse! =D
Best of luck!
