Anti perspiring that works for teenage boy

Have tried a few brands. Currently trying Right Guard but it's not cutting it. When he gets in the car after school he really stinks, and we've just been out for a walk and he reeks, bless him. He is beginning to notice it himself but still only 13 so it's embarrassing for him. I have no doubt it's hormonal-driven.

He showers every day. Wears cotton shirts for school but has same issue with cotton t shirts and also the football-shirt material tops.

Am going to buy him soap to wash with instead of shower gel as I've just read an old thread where that was a recommendation.

I am sympathetic and want to help him without embarrassing him. - please give me the name of something that will stop the smell, I feel for his teachers and for members of the public who have to sit next to him on the train home!

I prefer the Mitchum stick, or the spray. I find the roll on too strong on my skin

My husband swears that it comes from the inside....so drinking lots of water flushes out the body. He drinks lots and no smells. I drink lots of caffeine and have regular BO smells.

Does your son drink enough water?
