He thinks this is silly ...but he stinks..that AWFUL little boy sweat! Any one who has one knows what I mean..

Is it too young? Or Ok to train him w/ get hygiene?

Jamison'smama replied: He's not to young---I was a sweaty kid--I wore it early--hey, if you're stinkin' you gotta wear it . Just let him know it's because he's growing up.

I agree

uwishucudfly replied: I agree with previous posts......I don't think there is an exact age when they should wear it. When you start to smell....spread it on!

I agree too.

Jamison'smama replied: Don't you hate it when your typo gets quoted over and over? --the phrase is--he's not TOO young T-O-O.

My2Beauties replied: I say if ya stink put some on - no one wants to smell BO! LOL - he's not too young, Desiree wears it and she is 9 and a girl, I know boys are worse so I say have him go for it!

JAYMESMOM replied: Sometimes my six year old wears it and that started when he was 5. If they stink then they need to wear it.

stanleygirl replied: My 2 year old is obsessed with putting the stuff on! That and cologne too- just like his daddy

I don't think there is any specific age either, whenever they need it right??

I couldn't agree more! (Brenda, I quoted you with your correction made )


When Ashley sees us putting it on, she wants to too. But, I don't let her yet. I hope she still wants to when she needs it.

redchief replied: BO means DO... Heheh. Especially as active as he is I think Tanner's ready for some BO control. Let him be involved in deciding what kind he would like. If he's embarrassed about it, buy some of the sample sizes and let him try them!
