What I tend to do is just cover it with a light breathable layer of this almost "second skin" tegaderm bandage. It's just a clear breathable layer which you can buy at most grocery stores in the bandaid section. It keeps it from snagging on your clothes or it coming into contact with something that could cause infection. Just one thing though, when you put on your little bandage, make sure your belly button is dry. This is so that the skin will not soften and possibly tear or help an infection get worse (and quite possibly a few other reasons).
I've heard that you can get an eye patch at any drug store and just tape it over your belly button with strong medical tape. Eye patches (if you get a good kind) are made out of hard plastic and will cover/protect your piercing. I don't think they're to expensive either...

What is some basic information about belly button piercing?
A belly button piercing can be a lot of fun, but it must be kept absolutely clean. It is a piercing that is easily infected, and when it does get infected, it's pretty bad. After getting pierced, clean the area twice a day (as well as after the shower, after swimming in the beach, etc). Also know that after the belly button ring is removed, there will be a small scar that can stretch (permanently) during pregnancy.
Can navel piercing be on the side of your belly button?
If it hangs or dangles chances are good that it will retain a piercing. Placing the navel piercing off to the side will be problematic for aftercare and irritation during the healing process.

Your belly button has skin from inside coming out from the bottom hole?
What ever you are using to clean the piercing with is causing a hypertrophic reaction. Stop using what ever the piercer told you to use and flush the piercing with lots of warm water in the shower. You need to flush the piercing with water daily and do not use the "junk" you were told to use. Flushing the piercing daily will allow the piercing to get flushed out and the tissue will start to settle down. Be sure to keep the piercing dry during the day time and keep your dirty fingers out of the piercing unless you are washing it. See the Related Links below for more information on lumps and bumps.
