<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Healing Process
It is absolutely not safe to change your jewelry after one day, because your navel area is still getting used to the piercing. It needs time to heal so that the hole will not close up. It would also be extremely painful and irritating to touch the area. You risk infecting the area and prolonging the healing process, not to mention inserting the jewelry wrong or putting in an unsuitable metal.
On the Other: Safe to Change
You can, however, change your jewelry after six to eight months with a nonirritating metal. Even if your piercing seems healed, it may not be, as it takes quite a while. Do not rush; the healing process is extremely important. At this point you should be focusing on properly caring for your piercing by cleaning it and following the piercer's instructions.
Bottom Line
Better to err on the side of caution than hurting yourself. Do not change your piercing after a day and do not change it for at least six months. The longer you wait, the better.
