Navel Piercings
One of the most popular piercings in today's youth-teen and young adult- is the navel piercing, also known as the belly button piercing.
The most common navel piercing is through the upper ridge of the navel. Sometimes the navel piercing is through the lower ridge or the left and right ridges of the navel. In many cases it depends on the navel in question as to how the piercer will pierce the piercee.
Some belly buttons are shaped differently, where they will not hold a standard navel piercings properly, so a bottom piercing must be done. And, in some cases, people like the look of having both, if not all four sides of their navel pierced. It's fun and interesting to have something different and unique, but before you do so, make sure you know how to take care of the piercing.

Healing Belly Button Piercings
It is preferrable that one sleeps on his/her back while dealing with a healing navel piercing.
You should clean it once or twice a day with saline, or a sea salt solution (1 teaspoon salt for 6 ounces of water). Put enough saline in a small dixie cup, sitting up tilt the cup over the navel, and lay down. Let the piercing soak for 10 to 15 minutes before removing the cup.
In the shower, you can clean the jewelry and the area around the piercing with a mild soap. Gently push the jewelry through the piercing, cleaning the piercing with the soap. Make sure to get all the soap from around the piercing. Leaving soap in a wound, as a piercing is essentially a wound, can cause more trauma to it.
Sometimes, if you have having problems healing with one type of jewelry, say a CBR, your piercer can reccommend another piece of jewelry, ususally the banana barbell. Most piercers use the banana barbell when performing a navel piercing.
