I don't know why mine is always black. I always wear a white undershirt.

Mold?

Or, more realistically, bacteria, skin cells, and dirt? Don't know which is worse... :p

Hella!

Mine depends on the color of the clothes I wear, but it's alway impressive. My belly hair collects it and guides it in. :p

i only recently started to get it. i noticed that different shirts/undershirts make a difference

it's lint. since its white if i wear a white undershirt, or black if black undershirt, etc.

I always get belly button lint. I'll take a picture and post it if I remember just in case anyone is interested.

I only get it with certain shirts, especially if it's a shirt that I haven't worn that many times. It goes away after the shirt gets worn maybe 10 times (maybe less)

Innie or outie ? Or maybe you wash it out without realising. :)

Nope. Never gotten it either. I suppose if I really dug around I could get a few specks, but beyond that, nothing. It gets rinsed out every time I shower, so I figure that's the reason.

just collect all your lint - belly button, jacket, purse and pocket. Then put them in a special container and take it into the sauna.

surprise!

I think the amount of belly button lint you get is dependent on how hairy you are. I have a good sized sampling of it every day, and I'm hairy like animal.

Type of clothing fabric as well.

It migrates up from your underwear, so maybe that's why mosh doesn't get it, she goes commando?

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navel_lint

Navel lint consists primarily of stray fibers from one's clothing, mixed with some dead skin cells and strands of body hair.
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 fibers 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-gray tint is likely the averaging of the colors of fibers present in clothing; the same color as clothes dryer lint.[2]
The existence of navel lint is entirely harmless, and requires no corrective action.

I have to show this thread to my fiancee, she swears nobody except me actually gets lint in their belly button.
