Solving Omlet Smart Auto Door Timing Issues with Alexa Routines

Hope you have had your supper by the time you read this.....

 

ES, aged 9.5, says that he needs a deo. This seems to me a bit early...... Not that he is VERY niffy but he has noticed that this may be an issue (although, as he has Aspergers, he has a heightened sense of smell ) Its not something that I have noticed.

 

This is uncharted waters for me so I have no idea ...... should I be considering a mild deo at this age or am I over reacting

 

I am all for natural products so am happy to use something similar but really don't want to over react

I think that Rosie was about 10 or so when she started to need one. Children mature much quicker than we did Soapdragon if it puts him at ease, then why not?

One of my children needed a deodorant when they were what i considered very young. I didn't want to use 'adult' products on them and so I tried this TRUST It worked really well.

 

Why apply something every day when Trust Anti-odourant for underarms will last between 3 and 6 days with just one application? This long lasting cream eliminates the bacteria that cause body odour and remains active after washing, swimming and any form of strenuous activity.

another natural alternative is the pitrock stick

You can buy an even more natural (and non-smelly!) stone/crystal version, but they're not as easy to use

[Grandmashazzie]

Yes I found YD needed one much earlier.Have the one you apply at night as mentioned previously but kept forgetting,plus she wanted one to take to school after sports .We use Sure push up sticks they do unscented and manly smelly ones too.

I was going to suggest Pitrok as well. The spray is very easy to use (I have used the stones in the past and they are ok, but you need to apply to wet skin or wet the crystal first so it can be a bit of a faff). The spray comes either unscented or you can buy one with a manly scent! They are completely natural - the crystal is made from ammonium alum and works by inhibiting bacterial growth on the skin rather than preventing sweating. Good stuff!

Thanks for the info, peeps Will pop off to the chemist tomorrow!

 

They grow up far too soon..

They so grow up soon, our youngest boy turned ten in January and he has been using deodorant for a year now. He's of average height too, so he's not anywhere near puberty yet. He just sweats a lot, bless him. I think his older brother was about eleven when he started using deodorant.

Similar to the Pitrok one, we have all been using this since a friend put me on to it....http://www.bionsen.co.uk/introducing-bionsen/bionsen-deo/

 

It's brilliant - non scented and does the job really well..... Doesn't cause any reactions with DS sensitive skin either.

 

Also it lasts for ages as you can top the bottle up up to five times.

Mine loves Lynx (it used to be the chocolate one and now it's a different one) but it has to be the dry spray. In days of yore it used to be a struggle to get him in the bathroom. Now it's a struggle to save some hot water as he spends ages in the shower! He started when he was at secondary. Youngsters tend to notice pongs and don't hold back with criticism. And they are more likely to listen to peers than parents!!!!
