A woman is walking in the water, with a pierced belly button. The swimming pool might be a great place to show off your new belly button ring, but don't jump in the water until your piercing heals. Even chemically treated water can harbor germs that cause infections in open wounds. People heal at different rates. While healing is typically complete within 9 months, it can take up to a year for a belly button ring site to heal. If you notice drainage, redness or swelling at the piercing site, contact your health care provider as you may need antibiotics to clear up the infection.
I had mine done for a few years, and I took it out once for 3 days and then put the ring back in. It went in but it hurt to put it through. It's hard to say how long it would take to close completely. I don't know, but they make pregnancy belly rings... they're longer than the normal ones and they make belly ring retaniers too. for when u dont want to wear a ring and u dont want it to close up. I dont think they hole ever closes though. I don't know...I've been waiting for mine to close for 3 years now.
