The smell comes with all freshly manufactured products. At times the manufacturer uses different types of plastic that initially give off an odor. The manufacturer uses materials which are body safe, non toxic and phthalate free. The smell will go away with regular washing. Soaking the toy in warm water and baking soda will help the smell fade. Once you have finished soaking it, dry it completely and then dust it off with cornstarch. Cornstarch will absorb any moisture or smell. You can also use a sex toy cleaner before and after use to help the smell fade.

Like the others have replied, just squeeze a couple drops. I only use mine for my Mother's bedside commode when she visits. After a while that particular scent starts to bother me. It is a scent that reminds a person that they are trying to get rid of an odor.

Mine has this terrible smell too! It stank up the house and now it's outside stinking up my patio. I would describe it more as formaldehyde. Just return it, that's what I'm doing. This is going nowhere near my eye.

Mine had quite a bit of an odor. I'm still in the process of airing it out. Hopefully that will take care of it.

Mine arrived without any smell. I suggest contacting the manufacturer to ask for advice. Alternatively, try using a white vinegar and water solution to clean it out.

Well，I think it does has smell because I was shocked by it at first. It is a problem that I didn't mention before. But the smell may be not that strong.

It doesn't smell the best, but its not bad. I've used other solutions and they all have some type of smell. Would'nt want to smell it all day, but its ok for the short time you're using it.

I think it should not smell bad, or not smell at all. I say anything that smells really bad (like spoiled)--Trash it...

Mine had an odd smell when I got it, didn't really associate it with lighter fluid, but still... It now smells like my perfume and breath mints (the main scents in my purse). It quit smelling odd in less than a week. If it persists, I'd recommend just washing the rubber part with dish washing soap. Hope this helps.

The smell might be that of natural cotton. I do smell that from mine (which we just got) and nothing else.

Ours smelled TERRIBLE. It was a very moldy smell. There was no wet film though. We've had ours for a little over 2 months. We thought airing it out would help. While the odor is not as noticeable as it was originally(you could smell it upon entering the room!), it's still there. I smell it when I sit on it, and the smell transfers to items touching it (blankets, clothes, etc). Yuck!

Its a dreadful kerosene/diesel smell. We left it outside all winter and all summer. I doused it in febreeze and hosed it down. Everything that touches it stinks. After about 9 months in the sun, rain and winter it smells less, but if we leave it in the car on a hot summer day the smell comes back in full force. Best of luck

You might want to consider returning it and getting another one if the smell persists. Ive had mine for almost a year and have never had any issues with oders of any kind. Im thinking something with yours isnt quiet right.. maybe. I like mine so much if it ever quits I'll prob get another one. Dont know if this helps you any but good luck.

Ours didn't have that odor to it at all. But I would try some kinda heavy detergent. Hope this helps

The smell is honestly not that bad. It's not even as strong as people make it out to be. I would say put a little bit of hairspray to mask it. Best way to do it is to put it on at night. Massage it into your hair and scalp( brushing it into your hair helps too ) and wash it out in the morning

I received mine as a gift just yesterday. Very strong smell like I had just painted the entire bedroom. This was after the mattress had sat for 2 days to expand in another room in the house. I am hoping that someone can seriously tell me this odor goes away.

Thank you for contacting Active Forever. I just talked to the manufacturer and they told me that the new units can give off a slight smell because you are introducing heat to the ceramic core. The smell should go away in about a week and it is not harmful in any way. If we can be of any other assistance, please feel free to contact us.
