Best first deodorant for boys.

Hi mums,
Looking for suggestions for a great first antiperspirant deodorant for my soon to be 10 year old son. I have no idea where to start with these things!
Thankyou 😀

My son started off with the Lynx, Tradie type of body spray ones because that's all he needed to begin with. Just a little something scented.
By the time he was about 12 he needed a proper anti-perspirant. We usually go with Rexona, Nivea or Dove - whatever is on special at Woollies when he needs it basically.

Some people prefer natural, aluminium, chemical free ones but I have not found them to be effective on pubescent boys with sky-rocketing hormones.

If you're not asking specifically for natural options, I'd go with something with a subtle scent so he doesn't get self conscious and stop wearing it while other classmates might not need it

Good old Rexona. They need antiperspirant not deodorant. Deodorant is just perfume in a can. Has no impact on teen hormone stink LOL. I buy from Reject Shop - always $3.50.

My boys liked Lynx but it just didn't cut it. When asked - they loved the ads, it wasn't about whether it worked or not :)
