I teach middle school (ages 11 to 13) in a high-poverty area in the US. We occasionally have students with serious odor issues. In these cases, we can inform families of the issue but really can't do much about what happens at home. What we CAN do is support the students in the building by offering anti-perspirant or wipes. We can keep extra clothing available that the student can launder (we happen to have a washer/dryer on site--you would think we'd have showers, but we don't).
I'd like to be sure we have the right products on hand for students (mostly male) in these situations. What are the very best anti-perspirants, body wipes, powders and so on to have available, especially when we are in no position to diagnose things like SIBO or TMAU or even gingivitis.
(Couple of edits based on replies--when we have a student with a serious problem (not just an occasional odor but nobody-wants-to-be-in-your-class level stink), we have them meet with someone every morning to check in, so we have some consistency built in. We can't always count on the family, due to any number of factors (finances, busy work schedules, not having secure housing...) And I'm a huge Donors Choose fan! And...loving these helpful replies--really appreciate it!)
Thanks *very* much!!
