This is the third Playtex bra I've purchased that has an overwhelming smell of rubber in the entire bra.  This bra is very comfortable and fits exactly as it should.  However, everytime I put it on, I smell the rubbery odor and can't get past that huge drawback.  Washing only intensifies the smell.  I don't want to waste the purchase price and after owning the bra for 2 weeks, decided to spray cologne on my body (not the bra) to mask most of the smell.  I hope nobody else can get a whiff of the offensive smell and think the weird odor is ME!  This will be the last Playtex bra I buy.  Three strikes and they're out of my life.
