Smelly 8yo

[margaritasbythesea]

I am wondering if I should do any more ti de-smell my daughter. She is not smelly during the day at school, but she is always has smelly armpits by the end of the day. I shower her at night but it's there again by the morning. She hates showering in the morning. Should I just insist that she does or resort to something like deodorant? She seems very young to me for this. Is she?

Why wouldn't you let her use deodorant??

I buy my DD of the same age a very hypoallergenic / pure deodorant as she has the same problem - it's stopped the problem completely but think this is the only way you will.

Shes about the right age to start using an antiperspirant deoderant after washing in the morning and evening.

Ok. That's that then. I wasn't expecting that until a bit later on. Deodorant it is.

If you're worried about deodorant so young, have a look in health food shops for crystal ones - there's one you just wet and roll on which is aluminium free and not an antiperspirant just a de smeller.

Thanks. I use that one so will probably go for it for her too. Maybe the spray so it's a bit easier.

Use bar soap to wash with, better than a shower wash and Simple roll on is good.

Thanks for the tip, although as a person with sensitive skin I have a passionate hatred of Simple products. They play absolute havoc on my skin.
