Does your pre-teen (who needs it) wear deodorant? - Page 2

Yep. My 9 and 10 year olds NEED deoderant. They use Secret or Degree. We usually alternate between the two.

My 10 yr old dd has worn it for about a year and she definately needs it.

My oldest DS wears something, I know. Can't recall the name.

Next 2 daughters wear Secret. I also wear Secret. I start wearing it at age 9, all 3 kids started about age 9 too.

My 9 yr old came to me this summer and asked me if her pits stink. I asked her if they did, and she said, I can't tell. So, yes, I smelled her pits! And yes, she had BO!!

When I was a senior in HS my mom got a good deal on Teen Spirit by Mennan at the military PX. She must have bought 50 bottles of it. I ran out of Secret one morning, and ran back to the cupboard in the bathroom where she kept it and was bummed about the Teen Spirit. I took some, put it on, and went to school. By the end of 1st period English class, I had such bad BO, that I left school, went to Walmart and bought Secret (Powder Fresh only), went home, cleaned my pits good with a cloth, put on the Secret and got back to school before 2nd period ended! Never again have I used anything else besides Secret (even though I have ran out before and had to borrow my DH's Sure, but it's made by the same company, so it was good too).

We use Tom's of Main Forest something. In the summer when we can be smellier we use listerine.

I think I get am going the most natural here, we all use this Deoderant Crystal Spray Mist stuff that we found at walmart ( : ) and it works. Not as well on DH on those really hots days, but it does work, and it works for the rest of us. I've found if I forget and start to stink, that I can spray it on and it neutralizes the smell so I don't have to shower right away. (same with DD and DS1)

My dd11 uses deoderant, not sure if it's daily though or if she even needs it daily right now. She uses Suave.

I found something at WM that was all natural, but we didn't like the slimeness of it so we quit using it. I also saw the crystal mist and may try that sometime. We normally use Mitchum.
