9 Body Parts Most People Don’t Clean Properly

Belly button

We all know the phrase ‘cute as a belly button’. Except belly buttons aren’t exactly that cute and smooth, when you dig a little deeper. They have all sorts of nooks and crevices, making them the ideal hiding spots for gross bacteria. Their folds make them difficult to clean and improper hygiene can lead to bad smells and even infections.

According to the discoveries of the Belly Button Biodiversity project, there are approximately 1,400 types of bacteria within just a hundred individuals. Not so cute now, is it?

Captain’s tip: Swab your belly button daily with a cotton swab dipped in warm, soapy water or alcohol. This cleaning habit is particularly necessary on a daily basis if your belly button is pierced.
