10 year old body odour

[scrabble1]

DS getting stinky armpits. Can he use something like one of the shower gels which contain silver to control it? currently uses a kids all in one shampoo and shower gel but isn't effective enough. Thinking this will worsen in warmer weather

My DD uses pitrok roll in which seems quite effective- more a deodorant than an anti perspirant.

I think you'll struggle to control it with just a shower gel.

It sounds like he's ready for deodorant.

Yep, sounds like he needs to be taking more care re personal hygeine.

If you're not wanting him to use too many chemicals there is a kids deodorant

Dd1 is 10 and needs deodorant. She has a bionsen one which seems to have fewer chemicals in than some.

What's wrong with deodorant?

I agree time to get the antiperspirant out. His teacher will thank you for it. I used to help out at ds's school and the room used to get a bit whiffy as the temp rose.

My ds uses antiperspirant as deodorants just mask odour

DS is 10, and has been using BLAST from www.wekeepitkind.com/uk/ for ages now (Sainsbury's, Amazon, Waitrose all stock). It's fine. I think he goes through phases - sometimes he stinks and sometimes he doesn't!

Shower gel won't work - the whole point of it is that you wash it off.

I use Bionsen so will try him with that. Thanks everyone
