Question

Answer 1

Naval piercings generally heal in about 4 to twelve months. I would not recommend taking it out until it is fully healed. Even then, taking it out for long periods of time is risking; it may still close up. Close up time depends on the individual, but it is common for newer piercings to close pretty fast.

Bodypiercingstudio.com sells flexible, clear naval retainers for about $4 USD if it is flexibility you're worried about. If it's the fact that jewelry may show through your clothes, and the retainer doesn't work for you, you could try getting your hands on a piece of PFTE. Ask around at different piercing studios. PFTE is completely safe, flexible, and less likely to show through clothing.

Good luck!

Answer 2

You should have it in at least 2 months, my friend took hers out after a couple weeks and couldn't get it back in.
