At what age should boy begin using deodorant?

Question

At what age should boy begin using deodorant?

Answer 1

When his underarms start to smell.

I started when I was 13, about the time I started puberty.

Answer 2

6th grade is when I started.

Sprays are too strong for young boys though, use stick deoderant.

Answer 3

honestly Erika boys don't need it until they reach puberty which can be at different ages .. The should be taught to wash their arm pits with deoderant soap from the time thay learn to bathe and body wash is great like old spice because the scent is great and does last .. But they should start being required to wear it 6 months to a year before hitting puberty in order to get them into the practice of doing so when they need to wear it .

as you probably know it it is more of a problem to get boys to use it in the first place on a regular basis .. If you want a more specfic age .. i would say 11..  

Answer 4

11-13

Answer 7

My aunt was using it on my cousins when they were 6 years old.  How in the world a child that age start gettiing funky but they did.  I think it's the meat (increased hormones) making these kids grow up faster than previous generations.

Answer 8

Usually when you start to notice, that you can't go sweat alot and not smell. For me it was more or less when I was 14 that I used it regularly, but all through middle school I used it.
