Is It Safe To Use Deodorants For Children?

Good day, My son is 9 and is involved in all sort of sporting activies. I am wondering when is the best time for him to start using deodorant. He does t have odor issues but I wonder if he should be using it more. Most of my friends who have kids his age already have their using deodorant. Is it really needed at his age?

Hi,

No Deodorant is not needed at this age. Ask him to keep his body clean with regular bath.
