I thought sprays were really bad for the environment...

You are correct, but it is under her arms that smell.

j.e.j.

Toms of Maine do a no-scent deodorant stick, or a rose and honeysuckle one. They're about £4. I think I'd go with a deodorant rather than anti-perspirant on a child.

I second the natural crystal deodorant, you can get them in most supermarkets & chemists and they are totally natural. You just run them under the tap and apply like a roll on http://www.pitrok.co.uk/

Definitely avoid anything with aluminium in it.

I agree, no aluminium, no parabens.

Tesco do a roll on called bionsen if you think she really needs something.

I'm not a fan of the Lush deodorants, they smell extremely strong. The natural crystal ones from health shops that have been suggested are really good - they don't smell and they're aluminium-free.

Pitrok aren't totally natural - I thought they were but they aint.

A child shouldn't smell if they wash regularly & if they do then there is possibly a diet related reason?

I would not rate the lush ones. Just get a simple roll on or stick one. They will be easy enough to use and more "natural" or ones suitable for sensitive skin are available.

In what way are they not natural?

i also have the same problem with my 7 nearly 8 year old, she is a good size but she is starting to fill out in certain places, should i use roll on or spray which would be best?

my daughter showers and baths regularly, has a healthy diet so no its nothing to do with that, its running around and having fun, and the polyster t shirts they HAVE to wear as uniform.
