Why do they smell reaaaaally bad? Are they suppose to be like that?

Mine do not smell bad. Or maybe I haven't tried to smell them. They are fabulous vitamins.

I don't think it smells that bad, many others smell worse. But yeah, I think it is supposed to smell like a combination of fruits and vegetables + chemical substances. It might be slightly unpleasant, just try to take it during meals and not try to smell it. Or maybe check the color/expiration date, mine is a fresh blue-gray, if yours doesn't look like that, it might be a bad/expired product.

No, it doesn't smell bad at all...or maybe you are not tolerant to the "smell" of the vitamins that is caused by the blend of different fruits and vegetables, as well different type of vitamins and other supplements.In my opinion, they do not smell bad. In any case, check the expiration date on the box.

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.

Strange question, however, I haven't experienced any weird smells! Lol hope this helps?

I have had that "other" type too, and you're correct, they do not smell good! I love this one. It does NOT smell when heated. In addition, you can take the cover off of it and wash it. I hope my answer helps!!

I've been using these for years and never had any that had a bad smell. Obviously, something is wrong. Call the company.

I did not have an odor problem with mine, maybe there is something wrong with yours? I am thinking you are talking about something like that new shower curtain smell; I wash those or spread them on the back porch a couple of days to get rid of that....

My nose may not be exceedingly sensitive, but I haven't noticed any fragrance. The heavy duty ones have been under my chair legs and absolutely don't reek. But, as I said, some people have very sensitive smellers.

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.

Just received a pair in the mail. Mine smell funny too. Like a factory or something artificial.

Yes they do have their own scent. I wouldn't be concerned about it, though. It's normal.

They often smell that way. Wish they wouldn't, but don't know what it is. went ahead with making the vanilla and some vanilla sugar anyway.

Yeah mine smelled too. Sort of like fake leather/mothball. I've had them since August and yes, they do still smell, but I have to say, less so than in the beginning and more tolerable.

Tom, they are air-filled and they stink really bad. We had to put it outside because of the foul odor.

Diana, I have to tell you that I didn't notice any bad smell at all. They smelled a very little like rubber at first, but why wouldn't they. I don't notice anything at this point. There was nothing annoying in the smell as far as I was concerned. It could be that some people are much more sensitive to some smells than others, like those that really can't tolerate some perfumes, etc.. I hope this helps. I will also mention for others as well, that I thought the yellow color was kind of neat and not garish at all.

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

They just smell like regular plastic to me. But if you're asking if they are overly smelly, then no.

I'm not sure if I have the discontinued ones or not? I bought mine around the end of January if that's any indication. The ones I have don't actually give off much of an odor. Sorry I wish I could help you more.
