I have four questions. 1. When will the discharge from a belly button piercing stop? 2. Is there a certain time I should wait till I can have someone orally play with my belly button ring? 3. Which is more comfortable? A loop belly button ring, or a simple barbell? 4. Is it normal to still for the pierced area to still be itchy after having it for almost 7 months?

1. discharge (or lympth) is perfectly normal in a healed piercing and can be present for an indefinate length of time. navels take anywhere from 3months to over a year to FULLY heal. 2.yes... wait until it is FULLY healed. you wouldn't want their bacteria getting in your fresh piercing. 3.a navel curve (a plain barbell is a straight barbell, navel curves have a slight curve, curved barbells look like crescent moons). This is easier to clean, allows room for swelling, won't catch on clothes as easily, and looks better. 4.yes. just use a teaspoon of non-iodized sea salt to a glass of hot water and soak your piercing twice a day.
