Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 , It's hard to say. Sara's head started stinking by the second day. Sam's didn't stink until the last week he wore the band. Believe me, you'll know when/if Mackenzie's head starts to stink!

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 - Dane's haed never got very stinky. It was nothing I noticed unless I took off the band and gave it a good whiff up close. We didn't do anything special to it. I guess we were just lucky.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 , Our stinky heads started about a week after the twins were wearing their bands 23 hours. On really hot days though, I only had them wear their bands 22 hours, and cleaned their bands and shampooed their heads twice a day. Plus, with the okay from my ortho we used cornstarch on the inside of the band to help absorb the sweat. This tings really helped cut down on the smell.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 , We didn't really get the stinky head so bad either- but like when I went up close it was there and some days (very few) I could smell it just taking it off. If you really clean it well with alcohol and let it dry in the sun, the smell should be minimal. And like other parents have said, using a good smelling shampoo that you put in at the start of the bath and let sit for awhile should help out as well.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Our son's head was really smelly but only when we took off the band or if we really got our noses close to the band. He pretty much just smelled like hockey equipment all through the treatment. We never figured out how to get the smell down. He is a grad now and smells great again.
