deodorant
My little 12 year old sis needs deodorant but she doesn't want to ask our parents to buy her some, she want to buy it herself. BUT she is embarrased cause she thinks handing deodorant to the employee at the drug store to buy when she's 12, the guy will think it's odd. I told her to don't worry and no one will care but she doesn't believe me at all, and I don't even think I believe myself. I don't want my sis to get embarrased or mad if they do think's its odd or give her a little giggle. I know they arent going to say anything but they might think it. So, please tell me, do you think the employees will do anything or thinks its odd if my 12 year old sis buys deodorant by herself? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASe don't say ask our parents, or for me to buy it for her cause I want her to do it.

No, that's not weird at all. I got deoderant when I was 12, what's the problem? Even if the cashier does laugh or something, who cares, you probably dont even know them, and anyways, it's better than smelling bad lol

geez, I hate to see what happens when she gets her period! :)
To make her feel more comfortable, tell her to go to the line where a girl is working. Or to buy the deodorant along with other things, like a magazine or a couple little things. That way the attention isn't focused on just the deodorant.
It is not odd AT ALL...nobody will even think twice about it.

Everybody wears it. Well almost everybody.. and I'm sure the employee wears it as well. To me it would be a good thing to see her buying it, cus then you know she's atleast trying to keep herself clean! There's alot worse things to buy, deodorant is def not a biggie, so no worries!

If its that much of a problem just buy it for her. god.

First off, let her know that there is nothing embarrassing about buying deodorant. However it would be very embarrassing to go without and not smell quite right with life.
I PROMISE that no one will say anything or even think it. I spent most of my working career as a cashier over a period of 10 years, and I know that I never paid that close attention to kids buying deodorant, I was just there to take the money for it and make change. My job was to sell that deodorant, not think things like "Gee, lookit that girl buying deodorant" so re-assure her that she has nothing to be worried about in that department.
Besides, we have all been there before. Your parents have been there too (Shock and Disbelief!!) and they would have absolutely no problems with buying it for her.
If it could be a help to her, maybe you could go in with her and stand in line along side her so she doesn't feel so much like she's in the spotlight.

i started using deoderant at like 10 (i think?). most people need it at around 10-11.
employees will NOT CARE!!! i buy tampons, and then i get a guy cashier and im like oh dear god, but they dont care, they get it alot. plus, its none of the cashiers business to laugh at her, which they wouldnt do anyways, because pretty much everybody uses deoderant at that age.

no i don't think the employees will care, think anything or even notice. 12 isn't an odd age to be buying deodorant. i know a lot of people that got their first deodorant when we were 9 or 10 (seriously.) most 12 year olds wear deodorant, so it will be fine. trust me.

First of all, the employee is not necessarily always going to be a guy.
But if it is, he's not going to care in the slightest. Deodorant is a perfectly common item that both guys and girls of all ages use. 12-year-olds use it ALL THE TIME. It's not as if she were buying stool softeners or condoms. I used deodorant when I was 9. The cashier is there for only one thing...to make easy money. Even if he does think it's odd (slim chance), it's not as if your little sister is ever going to see him again.

lol ccute. Im a cashier and i have seen guys go in an buy tampons & 10 year olds buy COndoms. tell your sister she has absolutely nothing to worry about. Buying deoderant is nothing to be ashamed of.
If it helps tell her to buy something else with the deoderant like hair ties or lip gloss.
Any questions just ask:)

They won't think anything of it i sware. they are there to check stuff out not to judge you. and how will they know how old she is? If she needs it then she should go buy it. Why does she care what they think anyways? Shes not going on a date with the cashier or something [ lol ]. i really don't think they will care i mean if some girl came up to me when i was working and put deoderent on the counter i wouldn't think nothing of it. i mean come on common sence. :]
hope i helped x

No, honestly. It's not weird at all, and if the employee has something to laugh about, then screw them. Like they never had to buy deodorant. Pshh. :]
