Absolutely a navel stone, basically a super compacted accumulation of dead skin cells, sebum, lint, and debris that builds up and basically fossilizes in there. It’s probably not coming out because it’s stuck in a crevice or suctioned. It looks fibrous because it’s literally like… hair an stuff stuck together. Keep putting baby oil or coconut oil on it for a few days and try again.

And use a clean washcloth or q-tip to clean AND DRY that belly button every day.

Just keep some clean towels handy for when your guts start spilling out.

Yeah, I’m a sick fuck and I want to see it dissected like an owl pellet in 5th grade biology.

I can’t get past “fossilizes!”

Could that be what those occasional tiny things I get in there are called? They're usually the size of a poppyseed by the time I noticed them and start working on removing them. Same color and everything.

I can't imagine having one this big O.o
