where does belly button lint come from? i was looking at my bf's stomach the other day and i found some. i thought it was hilarious cause i didnt know it could really happen. does it come from your clothes? is the origin a mystery?
Michael Biesecker wrote an interesting article on navel fluff in the 19/4/95 edition of Technician, accessed via North Carolina State University library. In it he discusses the widely held belief that navel fluff forms when very tiny pieces of fibre break off the inside of clothing. These tiny fibres gather in the belly button and amalgamate into balls of lint.
