Do these really smell that bad? I want to buy these as a gift and was wondering if there were any chemical odors?

They have NO ODOR. They work great. I'm not sure why anyone would be smelling them.... lol

I have had them for a few weeks and i noticed a new plastic smell but after having them around cooking and dining I have never notices an odor.

We have not noticed any chemical odor. We are very pleased with them and use them daily.

I agree with the previous responses, personally, my order did not have an odor.

I never noticed any negative smell from them. Slight when I first opened. So it shouldn't last long, I wouldn't wash them right away as that will wear them out quicker. They truly are the best pillows for me, hope you get to enjoy them

I washed before I used and did not notice any unusual smell. Also after reading your question, I went and smell them. I still did not notice anything.

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 had a slight odor when they came out of the packaging but it wasn't pungent. I have a very sensitive (meaning that I can smell things most people can't smell and in low doses too) nose too. I didn't wash them and the scent went away after a day or two. Hope this helps you out.

mine has no smell to them. I throw them in the wash with my whites and they come out nice and clean. I think I may have bought the wrong kind though. The last ones I had had a foam backing to them and these don't. If anyone knows which ones i'm talking about please let me know so I can buy the right ones.

They do not smell bad. That is what made me chose these over other "cheaper" ones that were described as smelling awful.

Yes they are very soft, you will like them. But it smells bad once you receive them, but it will go away.

I didn't notice any odor with mine. However they were SO poorly packaged that I questioned how hygenic they were. The teabags were out of the flimsy box they were packaged in and were loose in the envelope when I got them. So I threw the whole mess out.

The ones I received today are heavily scented, and the smell will not come off my hand. I ordered because of the "yes" answer to your fragrance free question. I too require no scent. Too bad for us.

They do smell a little but not all that bad, if you live in Texas you would need one. I use mine in a climbing stand so i dont worry about the little bit of smell

I don't really know. I have not had a pair that smelled once they were washed. I do sometimes let them soak overnight in water and white vinegar if they are very dirty. Try that.

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.

No. They should NOT smell bad. I have been taking Mega-Man Vitamins for several years. And I have never smelled this "Bad Smell" that people have described in several of said reviews. I have always gotten a vanilla type smell whenever I have opened said Mega-man Vitamin bottle

What are they smelling of? Before wearing them I let them air out overnight outside - and it gets rid of the plastic smell. Once I've worn them I just throw them in the washer and air dry them. I've never had a problem with them retaining odors. Sorry!

Hello Joel, Thanks for contacting us! Unfortunately with these life like toys, there is an odor that comes along with them. You can reduce the smell of these items by washing them with anti bacterial soap, and letting them air dry. The more you leave them out of the package the faster the smell will go away. We suggest that you leave them in a top shelf in a closet so that they are somewhat hidden - but still getting air. Have a great day! - Tiffany

I am also sensitive to fragrance (in terms of smell and not skin irritation) and just opened the package---my first reaction was "darn, these are scented." The scent isn't horrible (I don't really like any perfume), a little more natural and I suspect it will lessen with wear and/or leaving it out of the packaging.
