Your belly button piercing will be especially susceptible to irritation for the first few weeks you have it. During this critical healing period, avoid any activities that involve physical contact. More to the point, avoid any strenuous exercise that may disrupt the healing process.  Do not play team sports, such as soccer or basketball, until your piercing is fully healed. Avoid activities that involve extensive stretching for two weeks as well, such as climbing and yoga. Very small amounts of chafing or abrasion can irritate your belly button. Especially during healing periods after a new piercing or following an infection, wear loose-fitting clothing that will not constantly rub or apply pressure to your piercing. It’s important to prevent irritating your belly button while you sleep. While sleeping on your side is fine, sleeping on your back is best. Most importantly, avoid sleeping on your stomach. Fiddling with your belly button can cause it to become irritated, and may even contribute to an infection.  In particular, avoid absent-minded touching or tugging on your belly button piercing. When you want to adjust your jewelry or touch the area for another reason, be sure to wash your hands before doing so.
