21 Sep Here’s The Reason It Feels Weird When You Poke Around Inside Your Belly Button

Belly buttons are one of the more bizarre parts of human anatomy. Essential whilst we are still in the womb, these funny little crevices serve no purpose as soon as our umbilical cords are cut. So why does it feel weird when someone pokes them?!

I’ve always loved to poke my partner’s belly button. I have no idea why. It’s just there, and it’s always funny to see them jolt a little afterwards. I also hate outie belly buttons, so if anything I’m checking their belly button is to my liking.

I’m not alone in being fascinated with belly buttons either. When I was in my late teens, I decided to take the plunge and get my naval pierced. As soon as it was done, everyone I knew wanted to play with it and see what it felt like.

Everybody knows that we have belly buttons (except for that time everybody thought Taylor Swift didn’t), so how come we all don’t know this odd little mystery about our own bodies?

As I write this, I’m poking around a little inside my belly button. It’s an odd sensation. For some reason, it feels like I’m touching my insides, and it’s not dissimilar to really needing to pee, but at the same time it’s completely unique.

Thankfully, Dr. Christopher Hollingsworth of NYC Surgical Associates, has explained exactly what’s going on.
