What is the best deodorant for my 8 year old daughter?

Question

Hello, I have a 8 year old daughter who has to wear deodorant and it seems like we have tried everything but nothing helps for very long. Does anyone have any advise on what we can try next? Thanks =)

Answer 1

go to the doctor soon

Answer 2

If you have already tried Secret and it did not work, you can talk with her doctor and he can prescribe a really good deodorant. Some kids just need a little more help than others.  

Answer 3

Secret Platinum is really, really good. It comes in a lot of good scents and it works great!

Dove Powder Fresh is good too. My sister uses it and she smells so nice :D

But if you've tried those, then take her to the doctor, where she can get a prescription for a very strong deodorant.

Answer 4

At the age of 8 does she really need a deodorant?  

If you have tried a lot of the store brands look into other options

Mitchum brand is a good one

all natural

or feed her a healthier diet.  Less red meats and chemical driven foods.  

Answer 5

my 8 year old daughter also has this issue and we tried the teen deodorant and stuff but it didn't work for her so i talked to her dr and she had me try degree and it seems to work. I would give it a try

Answer 6

they make a rx deod. in the stores now i think they come in secret,degree and dove if that doesnt help i would try talking to your childs doctor and they can write you a prescription.

Answer 7

our school nurse says 3rd grade is the average now for deodorent now.  My 8 y.o. likes teen spirit.  It is not strong enough try the secret that is out that is stronger.  Make sure she washes under her arms in the shower too.  

Answer 8

Teen spirit is the best thing to start her on.  If you atart her on something more "potent"  she will have problems as an older teen and adult finding something that will work for her,  My mom started me on Secret, and now I have to have a prescription because I sweat so bad and the "normal stuff"dosen't work!  Tell her to take daily showers and use the deoderant no matter what, it will get her into the pattern.  My daughter is 11 and isn't "stinking" yet, but I started heron teen spirit to get herinto the routine.  She likes it because its mells good!

Answer 9

I think Secret is best. It's gentle, yet effective and I think that is important for a child. It was recommended to me by a doctor years and years ago. I had used a deodorant that was too strong and actually ended up with blocked sweat glands. In all the years of using Secret I have never had that problem again.

Answer 10

I like  Secret.  If deodorants are not working you probably need to consult her doctor.

Answer 11

Teen Spirit!

Answer 12

If she hasn't entered puberty and needs deodorant then she needs to see a doctor because it could be a sign of a medical problem.  Generally children who have not entered puberty do not have need for deodorants.  

Answer 13

Definitely check with a doctor not only regarding the source of the odor but also if she does need to use a deoderant, check which they recommend.  There are all kinds of nasty chemicals in some deodorants and I am sure some should not be for children.  

Answer 14

I find that Dove Deodorants are the best, but Teen Spirit is more Kid-Friendly for her : )

Answer 15

i have the same problem so use teen spirit stick or use guys deodorant thats what i do
