Question by laura<3: How long can I take a newly peirced belly button ring out for Cheerleading Practice?
I’m a flier and I understand that I cannot have my bellybutton ring in during Cheerleading practice. Would it close in 45 minutes to an hour? I would push it through every break we have.

How new is your belly button ring?
It takes about 8 months to heal, sometimes even longer. You risk irritating the piercing by taking it out if it’s not fully healed. If you’re not planning on cleaning the jewlery every single time you’re putting it back in, even then, you have a big risk of getting an infection. Especially if you’re having to break the skin when putting it through again. If you knew you couldn’t have it in, you shouldn’t have gotten the piercing.
Give your answer to this question below!
i had my belly button pierced and it fell out the first nite i desperately wanted it done so in the morning i pushed it back through and it hurt like hell! and caused an infection! u should just be very careful! i know people say it gets caught on clothes and everything but it really doesnt even if your taking your top off really quickly ive had mine done 5 years now and no problems with it
Originally, no you better not opt for yourself, but that doesn’t mean that you must actually undergo with it once it has been chosen
i would not recommend taking it out. instead, try getting a retainer. they are clear, flexible rings that don’t stick out of the skin too much.

in it because you will lose it otherwise. And forcing jewelry in and out is going to make it irritated and possibly lead to infection.
It will NEVER heal and become massively infected if you even remotely try what you’re thinking and you WILL be left with huge amounts of scarring.
Also, no, you can’t wear a retainer, retainers are plastic (usually, glass and quartz are hard to find), plastic can’t be worn in healing piercings because they harbor bacteria increasing the risk of infection. They should ONLY be worn in fully healed piercings (8-12 months for navels).
If you can’t wear it for practice then you can’t have it, pick one, cheerleading or a navel piercing, you can’t have both.
u shouldn’t take it out at all fir atleast 6 months pushing it back thru is not a good idea there cud b bacteria on the ring and u push them into ur piercing it can get infected.I wudda waited till u didn’t have cheerleading like a lil before summer break.
no, if you do this i can promise you it will never ever heal properly and you will most likely get an infection. you’re not even supposed to change it before 6 months, let alone leave it out. i remember when my friends and i were changing ours for the first time, and i was changing my friends, whose ended up not being ready to be changed. i took out her ring and tried to slide the new one through and even in less than a minute it already began to close up and we had to push it through a piece of skin that had already re-grown over the top whole and she said it killed. i also know someone who had it for over 3 years, kept it out over just one night and it already closed. really, these things heal over fast.
you should have thought about wether you could be wearing it at all times before you got it done.
