Girls first deodorant

Not really sure if this is the right place to post this. My DD is just 9, but she has told me that feels sweaty. I don't know if that's particularly young or not? But either way, I will get her a deodorant to try. Can anyone recommend a particularly gentle first deodorant for girls?

My dd started using deodorant at 9. I was surprised as I don't need or wear it myself.

Anyway, she uses an Aloe Vera one which seems to work. My dh is very wary of the harsh chemicals you can get and this one is apparently fine. He uses it too. It's Forever Living.

Thanks. I'm not sure she'll use it all the time anyway. She never smells! She does a lot of gymnastics so I've said that if I get her one, she can just use it when she goes to gym for the time being. I'm sure this is very first early stages of needing it at all.

My daughter uses bionsen which is aluminium free. You can buy it in most supermarkets and boots.

I was going to say bionsen too. I've switched to their solid stick deodorant recently for myself and they seem very gentle but still work well.

Mine started with bionsen then we had a girly shop when she was a bit older where she chose her own deodorant and hair removal products. She still steals my deodorant.
