Good first deodorant/antiperspirant

My DS (11) and DD (10) both suddenly seem to have reached that age where we should be encouraging them to use a deodorant or anti per spirant regularly. Which brands do people recommend for younger users please, both in terms of appropriate scents and gentleness on the skin. Don't really want either of them having the Lynx/Impulse effect just yet :rotfl:

    if you dont fancy lynx/impulse you could try your children with a natural crystal deodorant as this should be gentle on their skin.

    I use, and bought for my god daughter, the body shop ones, as they are roll on - they don't inhale any spray and they are also all "good" ingredients (volcanic salts and essential oils). So far they seem to be working!!!

    I bought my daughter the sure girl when she first started using it. I've now moved onto normal sure as it's less expensive and seems to be on offer more.

    Ironically, these are just the brands young people find irresistable. I'd let them get on with it and develop the habit of using something regularly with their own pocket money, when they grow up and start paying their own way they'll be looking for BoGoFs at Superdrug, or buying Sure from the 99p shop like the rest of us!
