11 year old ds showers every evening and
uses Keep it Kind deodorant spray every morning. He always comes home from school smelling.
He showered this morning (sanex) clean clothes and then tonight smelling again! So had another shower. Is this normal? Aibu to be concerned? He takes melatonin for sleep

Lynx is loved by early teenage boys and no other bugger.

DS took a massive shine to Vichy 48 hour treatment which is a bit pricey but smells lovely and does the job.

Something like a Mitchum spray might work and some basic rules like applying it only if dry.

Urgh - lynx hate it, gets into your nose, not good for anyone with asthma.

Mitchum 48 hr unperfumed recommended also, take the point about roll on so use the spray, they have brought out new sprays, which I think are better. Think DS probably needs a shower morning and evening in the summer at least, use cotton wash cloth Try using all cotton bedding, you can get cotton duvets and pillows.

The tip for white vinegar is well worth a try, it has many uses from cleaning glassware, using with bicarb of soda to clean plugholes etc.
