Can you sleep on your stomach after a belly button piercing? i always sleep on my stomach, will it make it sore or irritate it?

Clean, soft cover: Try a sterile soft non-irritating bandage for the hours of sleep until it is healed. Best!

Piercing: Sleeping on a piercing right after you've had it done will probably irritate it. You may want to cover the area with a bandage or find a different sleeping position.
