outies

Convex belly buttons

Outies is the plural of outie, an informal term for a navel that protrudes rather than forming an indentation.

The word contrasts with innie, the more common concave belly button: I have an innie but my brother has an outie.

The distinction is a minor point of childhood curiosity and body comparison.
