| She’s been using the Arm & Hammer aluminum free deodorant for a while now, and lately it doesn’t seem to be working (works fine for me). I have already been reminding her to use it and to make sure she is washing her armpits well but it may be time for a different deodorant. Any suggestions? |

| Sure it's not her feet? DD was amazed when I told her that standing in the shower with the water running didn't prevent smelly feet, you actually have to use soap on them. |

| Thai Crystal Deodorant works surprisingly well. I'd been trying lots of natural versions, with no success, but am very happy with this one. DCUM rec! |

| My DD likes Secret. Seems to work well, too! She definitely had body odor. |

| Arm & Hammer doesn't work for me. Try another brand. |

| Make sure she’s using a washcloth or loofah in her armpits, so that she’s scrubbing away the stinky bacteria. |

| Mine too. 12. Boy. Smells like dirty bottom. Doesn’t seem to care when I tell him. |

Buy real deodorant. Teenage stink is too much for the all
Natural stuff. |

| Their hormones are crazy. Crazier than ours. It makes them smellier. They need to use real anti perspirant, is it daily, and only wear clean clothes. |

What type of soap is she using? Is she wearing clean clothes from the skin out (undershirts, t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc) every day? Is she fully washing her entire body with soap?

This. She needs a real antiperspirant. |

Not PP but I've been using Secret since I was a teen. Never fails. |
