It's impossible to respond to this item without holding my nose!!  Washed these leggings, which feel soft to the touch, thicker than most, THREE times so far and the smell will not go away!  It contaminated my washer and the other clothing I washed with it - -would not order these again, no matter how good they are...It's the kind of smell that stays in your mouth - -and makes you feel like you swam into an oil spill...YUCK.  Buyer beware!
