The stinky kid is real. There is always that stinky kid. Don’t let it be your kid.
One of Paige’s smelled like a subway in Germany the other day and she had a rock bottom kid hygiene moment. How did it get here? Too much carelessness on all of our parts. She can assure you she is working toward never catching that whiff again.
A good old fashioned regular shower is a great place to start, but sweeten the deal with some products they will love and hopefully actually be excited to use!
- Kids Natural Deodorant: This deodorant is chemical free which will make you feel good about your kids using it. The boy version smells like clean laundry and all of our kids love it. It rolls on which makes it more fun.
- Facial Wipes: Great for sensitive skin and an easy option for the kid that doesn’t take the time to get out the soap and water. Also good for the kid who still manages to get food up to their eyebrows well past the acceptable age for this.
- Nail Brush: For the nasty stuff that accumulates under those nails.
- Lice Scaring Conditioner: Use this regularly to deter lice from making a cozy home out of your child’s hair. Boo yeah!
- Remedy Soap: Made with tea tree and peppermint oil this stuff gets rid of body odor, athletes foot and a variety of other disgusting things.
- Wet Wipes: No explanation necessary. Plumber approved!
- Silicone Loofah: Regular loofahs are a breading ground for bacteria. My kids use these and love them.
- Kids Invisibobble Hair Ties: Maybe they will stop stealing yours if you buy them their own?!? Doubt it, but this is the only way Paige’s oldest will allow her to put her hair up.
- Electric Razor: For the tween who is new to shaving. Nix the cuts with this electric razor. Paige’s 12 and 10 year olds approve.
- Electric Toothbrush: Our dentists both highly recommended this. The app syncs with the brush and they can see where they have and have not brushed in real time. Makes it seem like a video game and is really cute and well done!
- Water Pix Flosser: This is amazing for kids with braces. It is hard enough for them to floss without a mouth full of metal. This makes things so much easier.
- Electric Nail Clipper: My kids cannot clip their own nails yet with a regular nail clipper. I’m hoping this electric one will do the trick.
- Stink Stopper Foot Spray: Stop doing the stanky leg! Spray inside of shoes to make them smell as good as new.
- Hand Sanitizer: Another necessity. This one is plant based and alcohol free.
- Kids Flossers: Easier for little hands to get between teeth. The grape flavor makes it more like a piece of candy and less like a hygiene task.
- Sneaker Balls: Put these in stinky cleats or athletic shoes so they won’t be so sssshhhhheeeeewwwwweeeeeyyyyyyyy!
- Detangler: Time release formula helps detangle for up to 3 days! Keratin added to help strengthen hair. A must for girls if you want to preserve your mother/daughter relationship and survive hair brushing.
- Hair Towel: Cuts down that dry time and they’ll look super cute while doing it. Our girls love these and Paige uses them as well!
- Oxy Pads: Blast from the past that teens still use and love. “Oxycute ’em!” How’s that for a past blast?
- Volumizing Hairdryer: We love this for ourselves and for our girls. Hair will be smooth and voluminous.
- Facial Washcloths: Super soft. Jeni’s kids use these morning and night! Paige’s need to be. ::quietly adds to cart::
- Bath Bombs: Make bath time BOMB. If nothing else it makes them stay in there longer and smell better, so bomb diggity to that!
Don’t really want to start the conversation about stinky kids and their stinky pits and their hairy legs and their unflossed teeth and their grimy nails? These books explain so much and our girls are obsessed with the American Girl ones!
