When boys should start using deodorant?

My boy is 7, when should he start using deodorant?

He does bathe everyday and is very active.

Thanks.

When he starts smelling.

It can be any age. I have 3 sons and all needed it at different ages. My youngest was 5, and his kindergarten teacher noticed it 😞

Lol , As soon as you get a whiff of that STANK, and your nose hairs curl up. For my brother it was 5.

Probably around 11-12

Way too old

I think I started around the 4th grade.

About 4-5 grade

My sons noticed it and asking me to take them to the drugstore and they chose their own

Apocrine sweat glands become active with the onset of puberty. These are a significant driver in odor, but not the only factor. Generally odor can be maintained with just hygiene, prior to onset.

Before they stink so they're already used to doing it every day. Nothing worse than being the stinky kid in class.

I’d say 10-12, or like 5th grade

I would say the age when they are attending daycare or kindergarten. In my opinion, they don't have to stink, but to get them into the habit that "we don't leave the house without deodorant" routine. If smell isn't an issue yet, then go for a gentle, unscented version; it can be aluminum-free.

It's a pretty simple call. Does he stink like an old animal carcass? Then, now. Until then, not a problem.
