Deodorant / toiletries etc for 10yo boy??

My near 11yo boy has suddenly matured and is fairly whiffy under the arms! I feel like I've forgotten that he won't be washing with kids shampoo / soap forever and I need to start introducing some age appropriate toiletries.

Any recommendations? Are we straight to lynx Africa at this stage.......??!

My son is 9 and is using Scrubbingtons first deodorant. It smells just like fresh skin and hasn’t caused any irritation. Super pleased with it.

I got the Scrubbingtons deodrant as well but felt like it didn't make any difference to my son's whiffy pits. We got him a roll on sensitive mens deodrant. It is the Nivea sensitive one and doesnt irritate him despite him usually having quite sensitive skin.

My just turned 11 year old son has done exactly that 😂 straight to lynx Africa, takes me back to 1996. I do however have to remind him each morning to apply said deodorant and use said body wash before he gets in the shower. I'm hoping at some point it will become automatic.

My son uses the Mitchum stick and washes with nivea for men hair and body wash. Lynx is banned in my house.

A family friend has been buying him aftershave since he turned 7 a few years ago so has been wearing them aswell at the weekend.

My DS started with a Dove roll on at that age, now he's a bit older he needs something a bit stronger so he uses Sure spray on.
