She is 13, uses deodorant every day that I know of since I pretty much have been riding her about it HARD. She has aerobics at school and she says it makes her stink from sweating. She even carries deodorant in her purse for after aerobics. She don't have time to take a shower after class though. I already asked the teacher about that. She takes a shower every night and uses deodorant after her shower then again in the morning when she gets dressed for school. She says she washes good... I draw the line at watching her shower to make sure about that. She does keep shaved too. When I was a teen and even until today I have had to use Men's deodorant like Speed Stick for MEN.. I could never use the nice smelling women's deodorants. She has been using Speed Stick and now she has switched to OMG Old Spice High Endurance... and it still don't work real good. :( Any suggestions??

shower with an antibacterial shower gel, shave underarms daily, use mitchum deoderant (gel works best) and change her diet to a healthier one. If this doesn't work then go to the dermotologist and they can help her.

I think Mitchum is a good suggestion. I use Sure, and I think it's the best one I've tried so far. She definitely shouldn't use any "invisible" or "clear" kinds; the "original" kind works much better.
And kids really should have an opportunity to shower after gym class. Talk to the teacher again, and if that doesn't work, get the PTA mobilized and get something changed at that school.

Certain Dri is a lifesaver. There is one that you apply at night before bed and then another one that you use in the morning. Certain Dri and Certain Dri AM, respectively. It works to control perspiration and odor when used together. I can't believe that there is something out there that works so well and not may people know about it. You can buy it over the counter and I seem to have the best luck finding them at Target...WalMart is hit or miss for some reason. I hope this helps!

Your daughters problem might be a condition called hyperhidrosis. Here is a website so you can check and see if she has any of these symptoms. Also maybe having her take a shower at night and in the morning will help since she will wash off the sweat and oil that accumulates on your body while your sleeping. Good luck.

Go with the previous answers of Mitchum. I used it when I was her age. She'll outgrow it. It's just a change in the hormonal balance, but try what Mitchum that the others suggested.

Can she wash under he arms after gym atleast? That may be the only solution. She can change at the sink to make it quicker.
