Do these strongly smell of latex? If so, does the smell stay with you and does it subside after awhile? Thank you

They don't smell that bad and the more you use them the less they smell like latex. You could always try and wash the smell out with a little water and soap on a paper towel to get the smell off.

Its not that bad...but after a heavy (sweaty) workout my hands smell like condoms. But I always take a shower after my workout so its not an issue.

I haven't noticed a latex smell on these. Granted, I've never put them right up to my nose, but in my experience of them, they lack that strong chemical reek that some items have when you open them.

No significant smell. I have ordered a half dozen sets for my clients. No one has mentioned strong smells.

Yes they really smell. It does diminish with time, but I don't know if it completely goes away. Only had my cart for a couple of months. but I like it a lot!

hi,After a few months, the rubber smell diminishes, but does not go away completely. I have a full set i got 8 years ago and up close, the rubber smell is still noticeable.Gene

I love latex pillows. I feel like I'm sleeping on a cloud. That being said, I have the high loft plush pillow and I think it's pretty high, and maybe alittle firm. I wish I had gone with the low loft. I think it will soften up some as time goes on as is the case with my last latex pillow. I am still using that one and really dont sleep much on this high loft pillow...I will eventually tho! When the old one wears out =-)

I don't know, but my king size smells like chemicals. It really stinks and I have to keep the window cracked in the room. I have other latex bedding products that only smell like rubber, but this one smells really strong of nasty chemicals. Too bad.

Mine do not have a smell, but they never did. I am very sensitive to smells, so I would have noticed. I would contact amazon and see if you can get a replacement. Maybe you got a bad batch.

No, they do not have a "rubber" odor, they smelled "new" when we received them, but I wouldn't say they had a "rubber" odor.

They smell a little like rubber but, not to the point of throwing them out. I do air them out after every wear.

I am sorry I do not now if it is natural latex. No where did it advertise it as natural latex so it probably is not. I can say that I have Multiple chemical sensitivities and also sleep on a natural latex mattress. This wedge pillow did not give me any problems with reactions and did not have an odor. I had to send it back immediately because the zipper came broken, it was very flimsy.

I haven't used them in a long time. I didn't like the gassy smell. sorry. I don't recall them not lasting long.

They are coated in high quality rubber. Rubber smells. You just don't notice it because of where they normally place it. For instance, if you have a garage and you get new tires, you will notice their strong smell for a long time. Tires are meant to take a pounding and so are these weights. We have owned our weights for a while and they don't smell unless you are really close to them now. At first, the whole room smelled. If you want something durable and tough that is going to last the years, right now that is how it smells. You know, there may be some way to wash them and remove the smell, but time did it for us. btw, I use them all the time and they are amazing, high quality, easy to handle greatness.

No bad smell at all. I've had these for almost a year now and they still work amazing and definitely don't smell bad at all. They don't really have an odor. And even if they did, it's only at the beginning and goes away but I don't ever remember there being any kind of smell. At all. Hope that helps

Greetings Y. Tang. Yes it is normal for them to have a slight smell to them. However, it isn't unpleasant. If the odor you smell is too strong or you feel is not normal, I would suggest contacting the manufacturer with your concerns and see if there is anything they can do for you. I hope this helped. :-) Be blessed.

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.

I work in a lab and these don't last so long with xylene, but thats a chemical that eats latex easily, No problems with isopropyl or 100% and lower alcohol. I use them for about a week before throwing them out. I only use them on a few fingers to open small vials and avoid blisters, works great but need more if you use them on all fingers.

They definitely have a faint rubber-esque fragrance, but nothing that would deter me from using them, or that struck me as noticably strong. . They kind of stink in terms of result though ;). I reviewed them, if you want to hear more. Hope that 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.
