What age did your DD start needing to use deodorant?

Just that. My DD seems very very young to need it but she does!

My eldest doesn’t need it at 10, middle dd has since she was 7. It’s young but they’re all different.

DD is 8 and sometimes wears roll on. She has phases of being a bit whiffy.

I started wearing deodorant at 9, my mum made me wear it so I must've needed it

My dd started getting quite whiffy about 8.

How old is your dd? Don't worry, it doesn't necessarily mean puberty will start early. I think I read somewhere that it could mean the hormones are starting to be produced. I didn't see any other signs of puberty in dd until a good while later.

Mine don’t need it as long as they shower regularly but then I don’t wear it either. It must be genetic 🙂

Mine needed it at 7, but I think this was a hormonal surge as she's less smelly now at 10 and has no other signs of puberty. I got her the rock crystal one so there were no chemicals. It was very effective

From 9 Definitely needed it even when thoroughly washing etc.
