I ordered a pair and they have a really strong chemical smell. Is this to be expected?

I did not experience any odors in the ones I bought. I would return them if there were any smells in a silicon product.

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.

I have never noticed a smell, and I often wear them the whole morning. Must be the 'moisture absorbing lining'

If you're talking about the black stuff (the picture as sent by Amazon.com is not high res enough for me to see it clearly), no, that's not normal and you should not fond that acceptable. My pair is great, does not get grungy and I love 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.

There is a smell when you first open them, not terribly strong, but noticeable. I spread them out to air on the back porch for a few days after we received them and most of it dissipated.

Mine had no unpleasant smell. Yours may have come in contact with a wandering ill smell during packing and/or shipping.

the packaging may contribute to the odor. I am extremely sensitive to synthetic odors. You may not have that problem. Best wishes

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!

Mine just came and it has a horrendous chemical smell. Will update in a week or two and let you know if it persists.

No, that is not normal. Mine did not have a burning smell. You might want to contact the seller.
