Deodorant for 9 year old dd

[Dancergirl]

Does anyone have any recommendations please? Should it be a more 'natural' one or doesn't it really matter as she'll probably be using Sure or Dove etc in her teens?

My girls use a natural one called PitRok which is a mineral roll on I buy in Boots. I read up at the time and advice seems to be to steer clear of usual deodorants that contain aluminium oxide.

Ps it's so effective I now use it too!

Just something unscented and non-irritating. Once my eldest needed deodorant, he needed the good stuff. My youngest sweats under the arms, but doesn't smell yet.

Roll on best - easiest to apply and school acceptable. Teen verdict seems to be Mum unscented too sticky (mum verdict, after a hot day our, it's rubbish, anyway) Mitchum Unscented acceptable and not annoying to wear (though it only comes for "women" for some stupid reason) and actually works.

DD (11) uses the Bionsen stick and it seems to work (when she remembers to put it on). Smell is ok and not too girly

YY to PitRok my DD uses that. Still a bit whiffy after activities
