@studiousboy i only use “belly button”.
“navel” kind of makes me think of the navel of an orange 😂. “navel orange” is also the name of a common type of orange in american supermarkets.
“tummy button” i don’t use and never heard of.

@wvtram Right, navel is only really used as in a medical context or situation and then children typically just "tummy" to talk about their stomach

@brian60221 @wvtram @roxas-pill So “navel” is only used in medical situations, “belly button” is used most often, “tummy button” is never used. I get it. Thank you everyone!
