Does your belly button stick out under clothes?

Recently my belly button has started to stick out under clothes.... do they make anything to "smooth it over" when you wear a shirt so it doesn't draw so much attention?

    A lot of ladies on here have used the Bella Band to smooth things over a bit.  I'm still hanging on to my innie, but that will be my plan once I pop.

    my sister used a nippleguard (like we all used at prom...) because hers hurt when fabric rubbed against it...

    mine became an official outie on Monday, and I've just tried to keep it uncovered (not going anywhere anyway!) but if I had to cover it up I'd probably use a big bandaid...

    the top part of mine sticks out, so yeah, you can see it through clothing.  My friend said her cousin actually taped hers down when she was in a wedding so it wouldn't show through the dress! I considered it haha

    mine just started to show a little bit and not all of the time.  I heard of girls using band-aids too to hold things in as well as the bella band.  I was thinking of trying those petals that you can use over your nipples when you go braless lol.  If they can hide nipples then they most likely can hide a belly button!

    I used my bella band to hide, but I know Destination Maternity sells belly button covers that tape down the bulge.

    Mine does, and it originally bothered me, but I've learned to forget about it and don't care what it looks like to anyone else.

    I thought I heard they make belly button tape for pregnant women, although I'm not sure where they sell it.  I've also heard you can place a band-aid over it, which may help somewhat, but then you may see the band-aid silhouette.

    Yup, mine sticks out and is definitely visible.

    ::shrugs:: I'm pregnant, who cares?

    The top of mine has completely popped, but the bottom is still tucked in. It's quite a sight.  And I can absolutely see it through clothes.

    They sell "Popper-Stoppers" at most maternity stores. They are just like breast petals only they are for your "turkey-timer" (what my husband calls it)

    Mine started sticking out just recently in the past 2 weeks. I don't tape it down or cover it up. Who cares if it's showing through your clothes? It's just a bellybutton..it's not like it leaks like your nips. If anyone had anything to say about my bellybutton I'd tell them to f*ck off and not to look. Wink
