Anyone want to see a navel stone? (Warning: photos!)

[ProperHurl]

My adult DD has just birthed removed a navel stone and it's the grimmest thing!! It's like an egg made of waxy stuff, full of hair!
There has been much screaming/squealing from both of us
Is there some kind of Sporners trophy we can win??

Oh my god…. How does it even get all those bits of hair in there!?!? 🥇 here you go!

Is your dd called Sigourney??

What the fuck is that?!???

I don't understand how that grows?!

Bet she feels loads better getting that out!

Is your dd called Sigourney??

For the uninitiated, a navel stone grows over a very long period of time in the bellybutton. She has a very deep bellybutton so hadn't noticed it. It's made of sebum (the waxy stuff) and keratin (the hairs) (obviously not envy!)
It can become infected.
She had a phone appointment with the Dr this morning who prescribed antibiotics and told her to clean it with saltwater on a cotton bud. She did that, had a root around and then decided she was going to extract it herself!! And she used my good tweezers!! We had visions of her pulling it and feeling a tug at the back of her eyeball as if it was attached inside
So once she was over the shock of what looked like Alien being born, I sent her off to Boots to buy me new tweezers because there's not a chance in hell the other ones are going near my face ever again.

😮 how have I never heard of that before?

Op thank you for sharing, you have brightened up my day.

You have won the internet today I think

I'm torn between delighted and throwing up...

I used to get these when I was a kid and would dig them out, haven't had one for over 30 years but they were properly attached and painful to get out.

Amazing OP thank you

That is marvellous! I think you need to cut it open and show us!

Jesus Christ, I'm a seasoned sporner, but I've never seen anything like that in situ photo with the hair sticking out. It must have been kicking out a right pong.

I had one pop out when I was pregnant. So satisfying and stinky

Is it crazy that I want one of my own?

Oooooohhhh

How does one get one of these.?

Oh my gosh. How does that even happen?

She's binned it now, sorry (after saving it to revolt my DH with when he got home!) but she gave it a squeeze and said it felt squishy. It looked full of hair 🤢🤢

It's vile isn't it!! She said it smelled of sick! I didn't get close enough to find out if that was accurate!

Oh my god. I don’t even get bellybutton fluff in mine - I can’t imagine how something like that could collect in a bellybutton

Dear God OP, that first picture looks like it's going to grow legs and walk!!!!

that's a squashed spider surely??

Set up home and rudely evicted with your best tweezers!

This has been my favourite ever post on sporners corner . Well done OP and OPs DD.

Hands up who had a check of their belly buttons after reading this ?
