The shape of your belly button can reveal more than just your body’s biology—it’s also linked to personality traits, according to folklore and cultural beliefs. While these interpretations lack scientific evidence, they’re fun to explore.
Here’s a quick guide to six common belly button shapes and their supposed meanings:
1. Protruding Navel (Outie)
- Personality:An outie belly button indicates a strong, extroverted, optimistic character. Those with an outie are stubborn, like the spotlight, and persistent. They think hard and stick to their beliefs, which makes it hard to find a compatible partner, but once they do, it’s a long-term relationship.
- Fun Fact:Common in babies and new moms due to pregnancy.
2. Deep & Round

- Fun Fact:Some deep navels can stretch after pregnancy or weight changes.
3. Vertical/Oblong

- Fun Fact:It was previously found that this is the most common belly button type
4. Horizontal
- Personality:This belly button tends to spread sideways across the tummy and demonstrates a complex and emotional personality. They don’t tend to give their trust to others right away,.

5. Off-Centre
