My daughter at 4, four! Doctor says it’s not out of the ordinary.
My son around 10 bit has been wearing deodorant since 8 to get him in a habit. He is 12 now and hitting puberty…definitely needs it and alot more showers!
12 year old still doesn’t smell.
My 10 year old sweats a lot but he doesn’t really have a body odour though. Even though i got him used to wearing deodorant. I just think that it’s good to get into the habit of having good hygiene.
My son was about 4 with the underarms my daughter is 6 and no b/o yet
Mine started around 8 or 9

Just noticed my 3 year old sons pits were stinky. Will be seeing pediatrician because it can be caused by a parasite or something like that at a young age.

No two children develop the body chemicals and hormones at the same age. I’ve had one not need it til after 16-17 and another need deodorant and more diligent showering at six. It all depends on the child.

Hard to say out of the 10 kids they all started at different ages. My youngest son had BO by age 5 and sweats oil (didn’t know that was a thing) oldest son didn’t really smell until about age 13, one of my 28yo sons started to clear a room with his BO by age 11 the other 28yo son was 13 before he really needed deodorant my 25 yo was such a germophobe that he never smelled(up to 6 showers a day) my 24 yo son stared to smell at 12. The four girls between 12 and 15 (when they stopped showering every day.) My 17yo now takes 1-2 showers a day schedule depending working 36 hours a week and sr. In high-school.

My 8 and 9 year old boys got deodorant in their stocking this year. They both are starting to get a little ripe. My oldest is really good about showering and using it. My youngest not so much and gets so stanky.

5th grade is usually when the schools here give them a hygiene kit. And at that age they think wearing deodorant is the best thing ever. It’s usually right on time too.

Mine is 8. And some days are worse than others. But holy cow them pits and feet can get rough!!!
Every child is different. My 8 year old daughter started stinking in the last 4-6 months. She uses deodorant/showers daily. My older daughter who will be 11 in April, didn’t start smelling/showering/using deodorant daily til the last 4-6 months.
My son is 11 and he started smelling last year…I have to make him wash his hands every couple of hours…his hands smell like butt!! I dont get it…?? And he doesnt care about his hygiene…I wish I could get him to care more about it

6 years old. We were at a bouncy house party. My friends mom and I were talking about how a kid was smelling up the entire room where they were eating pizza and cake. It was my son. I called the pediatrician the next day. He told me to get deodorant without anti perspirant. He’s too young to wear anti perspirant. He’s been using it for 3 years.

My daughter was age 7 1/2 nearly when she started smelling… she has a roll on that she uses every day now so that she is in a routine with it just like we all do even when she doesn’t maybe need it as much but not taking any chances lol
I think 10 is a stinky age especially if they were active sports and ect
All 4 of my girls started smelling shortly after birth…especially with the #2…those babies could peel the paint off the walls and make the strongest stomach person gag and run. By age 6 my grandson has pit odor.
My daughter started at 11. She’s 13 now and I got her Lume deodorant and it works very well.
My son is 9 and has been wearing deodorant for about a year. He’s tall for his age and everyone thinks he’s older. But his twin brother is smaller and doesn’t really need the deodorant yet.
My son started at 9 and got him gentle deodorant. I believe it is Toms
Right before Christmas my fiancé was playing with our twins wrestling around and when they were done my fiancé had this nasty look on his face and said they smelt like onions. They will be 9 in April.

My daughter is 8 and Oh goodness she’s got some stinky armpits and feet. She puts on deodorant before bed at night and in the morning. It helps a bunch.
My son’s were about 9. But good lord their FEEEEEET!! I have them put deodorant on their feet with gold bonds powder. One is 12 now and the other stinky feet one is 26.
So my daughter is sensitive to Lactose and is directly related to stinky pits. I made the connection when she was 4-5.
Honestly, my child was 9 months old. Even the doctors couldn’t belive it, I thought it was me all the time until I took a sniff at 
My son is 7 and he has strong BO uses deodorant/antiperspirant almost daily I started making him use it about a year and half ago but he uses it more regularlynoe. If he gets sweaty playing he will smell like a grown man.

My son has had stinky pits since he was about 3. I’d use TOMS deodorant if we were going to a play place or somewhere he’d be sweating a lot 
Every child is different but what’s up with girls using men’s deodorant ??? My step daughters pits smell super bad and I noticed her mom buys her men’s deodorant. Don’t know why lol
My daughter started smelling like onions around 7/8.
My daughter is 9 and has been wearing deodorant for probably about a year now.
Elementary teacher here some kids start smelling at 9. It depends on bathing frequency and when hormones start. Kids start puberty at different ages.

As soon as puberty hits? 
My oldest started developing at 10/11. Shortly after she’d smell after activities or coming home from school. She’s 13 now and smells all the time unless shes showered and has deodorant on. People used to tell me only boys stink and I was stupid enough to believe it My other daughter is 9 and shows no signs of puberty so she’s not smelling yet.
My son stinks, he’s 9.
