Do these smell as described in some of the reviews?

The pads themselves do not have any smell. Even after my 2 dogs use them I haven't noticed any smell. I always have about 6 pads put down in the corner of the kitchen and do remove the used pad as close to use as possible and put down fresh.

We've been buying the pads for a couple of months now, and never encountered the "scent." Tonight, a new package was opened and the "fresh" smell was overwhelming. My daughter walked on a new pad bare footed and her feet started to burn. She rinsed her feet off immediately. The fragrance is irritating to my eyes, too. We removed the new pads from the dog kennel, not wanting to take a chance on the chemical scent with the puppies. Puppies can't say their feet are burning! I can't tell any difference in wording between the package with the scent and the unscented, side by side. The old pads worked great. The new "scent" and not being able to tell which have scent is very disappointing. We've been buying the pads for a couple of months now, and never encountered the "scent."

I had not noticed a smell, but after reading your question got one out and smelled it. Very very faint smell , maybe like baby powder. These have been a life saver to me, they are the best thing I have bought. My dog is 55 lbs and cannot use back legs, so has no control. I put one of these under him and it pulls urine away from him so he stays dry plus has never leaked and I'm on my 3rd order. As far as smell, I have a very sensitive nose and have had to give other products away because of scent and I did not notice the scent of these until I put it right on my nose. Every other pad I have used has leaked, it urine has been all over my dog. I highly recommend these . Hope this helps you.

I HAVE tried them. I have been using them for several years. The do NOT have an odor and therefore cannot smell gross.They have no scent.

They do have a very slight, neutral scent in the can; however, when used on my dog, I did not detect that odor on her. They work well, as far as removing 'doggie' odor between baths.

I have only tried a couple of their products but the ones I have I consider them fragrance free. There is an extremely light smell, but in the past items labeled fragrance free have had as much smell as these.

No they did not have any plastic odor upon opening them in my opinion. I was impressed with the quality of them, they feel more like fabric than plastic to me.

I haven't noticed a smell in mine. But I never smelled them right out of the bag or anything.

No, they are unscented. I don't smell anything but my own shampoo when I use them.

The pack that I received didn't have much of a smell I had to use three at a time and then they only lasted one week. Once they were used up I didnt and wouldn't reorder. Also, it took over a month for me to receive them as they were shipped directly from China. I now just purchase them elsewhere, hope this helps in making your decision.

To me, they are mildly (pleasantly) scented, like a fruity-ish baby powder. But if you are sensitive to smells, you may not like them. My hubby finds the smell strong, and they would've no doubt driven my grandma crazy! Definitely not UN-scented...hope this helps... :)

They are made of wood, and no they do not smell funny. I did have 2 pair warp on me but that may have been due to poor usage on my part.

BUYER BEWARE! Yes, they may have an odor. This is because the product is basically home made. It is made in somebody's backyard. No certified facilities, nothing. Look them up. Google them for yourself. It would not surprise me if the smell you were sensing was mold due to inadequate processing. You just never know, unless your product comes from a name brand and a legitimate lab.

No. I have been using them for several months and have not noticed any smell.

I'm not aware of them smelling . . . I keep them in a cabinet that's enclosed and I can't say that I've ever smelled them. More important to me is that they're heavy enough not to tear and I've never found any rips or holes in them.

I have used them on pillows in the guest bedroom, and have not noticed any odor, and have not had guests comment, so I would say no.

Yes, they are. It's not a strong scent (certainly not enough to mask the odor of their contents).
1737453
no, after washing them initially with warm, soapy water, they have no odor. great product!

They didn't seem overly strong, somewhat like a lightly scented candle. To be honest I'm not sure how long the smell took to disappear but I don't recall it being that long. Sorry I can't be more precise.
