Does this product have a pungent smell or will the neoprene odor naturally dissipate over time? Also, does this product have handles?

No handles, unfortunately. I wish there were, and actually thought about sewing some on somehow. There was no neoprene odor at all.

It doesn't smell now. The odor disappeared during the first week. It doesn't have any handles

no handles. if it had an odor it dissipated very quickly. it was a little large for my 17in laptop but therefore allows me to tuck in my bulky cord and perhaps also a notebook or something. i have been very satisfied. have had it about a year.

It has a very, very gentle, mild fragrance. You can hardly notice it. I find it quite pleasant, and I am very particular about scents. I do not like scented soaps, shampoos or lotions and I love this product. Try it. If you are unsure, try a smaller size first. I think you will be pleased.

No smell - but I never received this product from Amazon, I had to order the same product from Walmart. Overall product is great.

Yes, that smell is natural. These are actually far less pungent than others I have tried. I highly recommend them.

The smell can be a product being new, fresh off the production line type of thing (like that "new car" smell). Mine had a slight smell, not too terrible but it was gone one I did a quick hand wash with a mild shampoo and wiped down the handles with a makeup remover wipe. I also hand washed and air dried the pouch and the smell was gone from that too.

Nope, none at all- it doesn't really smell before using, either. It's not scented- it's like powdered peroxide. And it is AMAZING for taking out stains!

I have yet to use mine. But all my other straps ( Polar based have been hand washed and always cleaned up nicely without a nasty residual smell.) I make sure I use a sport wash for it. Just remember to take the battery pack off.

It is a very pleasant smell Not overpowering like some shampoos that groomers use. I don't remember the smell lingering or being offensive at all. Stuff works great!

In the beginning only. It wasnt a bad odor, it just smelled like there was something being cleaned kind of? Sorry can't explain too well. In any case the smell goes away. Also I thought it would have been bigger than the picture. But it doea what it needs to and we use it all day and all night since we've bought it.

This product is suppose to be safe for the environment which i love but it does have a pretty perfumy smell. It doesn't stay in your hair alot when you wash it out but it does have a scent.

The handles are thinner but not too thin. They are of average size but smell quite bad out of the package.

I love this safe, I use it everyday and there is no odor/smell that I have ever noticed...there is a cushion in it on the bottom but u can take that out if u want. For me this purchase was great and I dont have a single complaint.

It smells like a sewer. As this product is actually sewer sludge, it does smell accordingly. Your bigger concern should be the fact that it contains pathogens (disease causing organisms) and coliform (the bacteria from human waste) and heavy metals (from industrial waste). I doubt the bag shows this but the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) info shows it.

There was very little to no smell when I unpacked it. I left it open and let it air out for a day (about 8 hours) before using it. No problems since I bought it 8 months ago.

No odor whatsoever & I have an acute sense of smell. However, we have had these for a while so I don't remember if there was an odor at first. My daughter is a gymnast & uses these frequently. They are good quality & well worth it!

No smell. I noticed the dates on all of the comments about smell are from quite a while ago. I believe they've changed their product since.

Good question. I do not like how it smells. But to be fair - I'm extremely sensitive to certain fragrances. And the added benefit with this product is that the fragrance is not at all pungent to the extent that it overwhelms. It's light and dissipates very quickly during the course of the day - to the point that my nose has adapted by not noticing past the first wiff. Hope that helps.
