She is 8. I tried just deodorant but I think she needs more. When is a good age for them to use it. I don't want to start her to early. What is the safest brand for her?

she's not too old, i can remember wearing anti-perspirant when i was really young. everyone needs to begin wearing it at different times. a good kind for her to start out on would be teen spirit, its aimed at for younger girls. or try secret in their newer scents, i think it might be secret sparkle.

Hello,
Just from personal experience my kids started using anti-persperint when they started copying the wife and myself. this was usually about 5 or 6 when they started school. Kids are cruel and anything that makes our children feel accepted and comfortable within reason is ok. About the age of 8 they are very aware of their bodies and their odors. A little body spray goes a long way on boosting spirits as well as helping them develop good hygiene. I would recomend something like (sure) or somthing else with a little powder in it as well as a real lite body spray they have several for children. My children found mouthwash went a long way with getting along with friends as well.

my daughter started about that age too. you could look for an organic deodorant - just to keep a little less chemical on her. Other than that I would stick with a solid because I definitely think the the sprays would be more harmful to her little lungs.

My daughter is 7 and uses deodorant. So, I say if you think she needs it, then it is the right age. Anything should be ok as long as it doesn't break her out.

Yes, some children start to perspire young and some smell. Roll-ons are much safer than aerosol cans. There are now crystal deoderants on the market. It is a natural crystal, you dip it in water and pass it under the arms. It has no smell and works well

Dove or Secret. They are both very mild. Never too young. Good habits start early.

There isn't really a set age for when you can start giving your children anit-pesperint. It just depends on The child. If deoderant doesn't do enough try it.

Best to try one for sensetive skin since she's a young age. I personally don't think she's too young to use it if she feels the need to use it.

Not to young if she needs it~Dove brand seems to be the gentlest, Almay also has a hypoallergenic one.

I think Mennen makes one just for teen girls called teen spirit. I'd think that would be fine.
