My 10yr old daughter’s armpits stink to HIGH Heavens! Every morning she takes a shower, totally dries off, then puts on her deodorant. Yet when she comes home from school, she stinks. It doesn’t matter if she has gym (deodorant is in her gym locker too) or not. We’ve even tried showering at night, but that didn’t help either. She woke up with smelly pits.
We’ve tried Teen Spirit, Secret, Degree, Lady Mitchum – all sticks or gels. I was wondering…would a spray her more? My only other wonder is if my cooking low-carb meals could be a factor? I have to cook low carb for my blood sugars (dr. recommended). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. =^)

you need to go old school and get her some Tussie. also buy some scented hand santizer and tell her during the day go to the bath room and wipe her armpit dry then rub on some of the scented hand santizer. This will stop the smelly armpits it work. while i was in iraq the heat got so bad that you had to wash twice a day and if you did not have a chance to do that i would use the hand santizer. when i was small i had the bad armpits too and my mom made me use tussie

Try a unsented or mild sented male deodordant they are stronger than womans and work better too.

Try a spray or I have found that an all natural crystal type found in a health food store works wonders. Secret Platinum Protection is also good. You could try using a mens unscented deo. Just make sure that it doesnt break her out! Good Luck!

Have her try Certain Dri. It’s an antiperspirant that is found with the deordorants but comes in a box (usually on the bottom shelf). If that doesn’t work for her, she might need a prescription antiperspirant.

Often, the problem needs to be treated internally. Chloryphyll is very good for an odor problem plus it is healthy. Any natural food store or large grocery store should have it. Get the kind with mint flavor….much better. Much of this stuff comes from a bad diet or improper digestion.

My teenage daughter sweats alot too. You need to try Certain Dri. Its over the counter anti-perspirant and its recommended by doctors!
Good Luck!

There are some non-prescription pills/vitamins that you can get called Body Deoderant. They are all natural (no chemicals) and were developed in Hawaii for just such problems. You take 2 in the morning and 2 at night – it helps with all kinds of bodily smells. If she’s sweating a lot too, she may have a condition that makes her sweat a lot. Many people have it – it’s no big deal, and the doctor can prescribe a stronger deoderant for her.

Welcome to puberty! She may need to apply deodorant a few times a day and shower twice a day for awhile. It’s not a permanent situation, so fear not!

Ummm… I don’t know. Maybe she rubs pits with other males at school??? I’ve always been a fan of Right Guard. Perhaps you should talk to the teacher about any possible pit rubbing? Schedule a parent teacher conference…

Hmm, maybe the doctor would prescribe some meds? I’m not sure…
I’d try the spray stuff, and maybe confront her teacher about it (depends on if you like the teacher), suggesting that she take trips to go apply the deodorant or the spray by herself.
Good luck!

I have a friend who says he used to sweat profusely, and finally went to a doctor and got a prescription deoderant that worked REALLY well…after a while he never had the problem again. I don’t know if the prescription deoderant was some sort of cure, or if he just eventually grew out of it. He was an adolescent at the time. Good luck to your daughter!

Have you checked her deodorant to make sure that it is an anti-perspirant? The odor comes from sweat mixing with bacteria that is on the outside of the body. Anti perspirants stop the production of sweat by closing the pores, and deodorant is only a perfume to mask the odor. Also, there are prescription anti perspirants available, as well. Talk to her doctor/pediatrician. I’m not sure if they’re available to prescribe to patients that young or not. Good luck!

Try using a male deoderant. They are stronger, last longer, and cheaper. If they stank that bad, go for it, it might be weird for her, but get the kind with the stripe. (extra defense) and you should be ok. What I found was that the body sprays work good for armpits too. Like Ax for men, after walking or gym, spray under arms and by the time your home its not smelly. I believe they make girl kinds too. Well hope this helps! Good Luck! : ) Oh, dont make your daughter think she smells all the time. It will lower her self esteem! Think about it.

Go to a local sporting goods store that sells hunting equipment. Ask where they keep the no-scent soaps and deodorants. My daughter, 11 yr. old, uses mine and she doesn’t have that problem anymore. It is unscented and has anti-bacterial agents in it to kill the bacteria that causes the odor. I use it for hunting and even on the warmest days when I sweat, there is no odor. Also, cut onions and garlic from her diet and see if that helps. Its no fun for them because kids will make fun of them.

No, I don’t think it’s your cooking. My daughter also is the same, only it’s not just her underarms, but her feet also. Right out of the shower too. I’ve tried everything known to man…powders, creams, sticks, foot soaks, Odor Eaters (she killed them the first day) and a host of "guaranteed" items. All failed. I’ve learned that there are just people who can’t get the smell gone. They, as well as the rest of us, will just have to accept them as they are. It’s hard, especially for a kid, but unless I’ve missed some magic formula, there’s nothing that helps. One thing I haven’t done is taken her to a doctor, so see if there’s some medical reason for the odors. While my daughter is now grown, her odor has not gone away, and she relies heavily on body sprays and men’s deodorants, which are stronger. It’s really difficult to feel feminine when you have those kinds of odors. Maybe the doctors know what causes it, and how it can be stopped. <*)))><

I would try a man’s deodorant like Speed Stick or Old Spice. They are stronger and may work better for her. You may try having your daughter shave under her arms. If she has any hair at all, that may be the problem. I don’t think low carbs would have anything to do with it. Also, try that deodorant spray that they sell in the feminine hygiene isle. Try changing soaps, everything. Good luck.

It is well known that meat eaters have more body odor also the use of onions or garlic in foods with contribute to body odor.
You should probably change your daughter’s diet. Just because you are on a low carb diet does not mean your daughter has to do the same. Sounds like your daughter needs to eat less meat and protein and more fruits and vegetables.
She can take chlorophyll pills and parsley pills which are available from health food sites but it does take time for them to build up in the systems. In France they have some great charcoal tablets that reduce body odor, but I do not think you can get them in this country.

Hi!
Does your daughter experience a lot of stress? What you describe might not be the signs of a physical ailment but rather a mental/emotional one. Malodorous perspiration is also associated with an onset of depression.
These are only pointers, so it would be best if you talked to a doc.
In the meantime, I would suggest you try to monitor the severity: does she perspire more when she feels stressed, or under pressure? Is the odor stronger in these situations, or at certain times during the day?
Has your daughter reached puberty yet, and has a hard time coping with it? She is still young, so it strikes me as unusual for a child her age (pre-pubescent?) to be using deodorant.
Please consult a professional.
Hope this helps a bit…

try using an antiperspirant instead of just a deodorant
her body could be having a chemical reaction to the ingredients in the deodorants
if all else fails ask your doctor

First of at night when she takes a shower make sure she scrubs with soap on a washcloth and water. Bar soap works the best. The I would use the Certain Dri product which can be purchased at harmons or cvs or walgreens. She should put that on at night, so it shrinks the glands overnight. Then in the morning put on a product called Under Army-by bliss. Some women swear by this product as well as Certain Dri. Those are the ones I here that work the best.
