What is this? Smells like perfume? Do they perfume their underwear before packaging??

I've washed it twice and can still smell it. Any ideas?

(Or, any other cheap undies recommendations?)

OP,

Why not just hang it up and go for these? They're comfortable, practical, and most of all, if you're not in the mood, they are certainly mood killers!

These look so uncomfortable. In what world is this the comfortable alternative?

I called jockey about the perfume smell.I also informed them that i found many other reviews on google making the same claim.Although it was denied they asked where they were made and said they would send me another 3 pak that i had purchased from Kohls.

I wore Jockey for many years. However, since several years ago, the fabric has the toxic chemical smell that does not go away with washing, soaking in vinegar/baking soda/bleach, or airing in the sun. I wrote to the corporate office, but they deny putting any chemicl in the fabric. This cannot be the truth because no other cotton clothing has this smell. I am very disappointed in their not being honest with what they put into the fabric and also that I can no longer wear my favorite fit of underwear.

Wore Jockey's for years and they do have a perfume smell. It comes out in the wash-eventually.

Period panties.

I have bought Jockey underwear for years -- at all different places. In the last two to three years, I have noticed that the packaged underwear smells horrible -- I also think it's baby powder, or at least the same fragrance that is now being used in baby powder. I tried washing the underwear and even bleaching them but the smell is still there. I have had to throw at least 10 pair of underwear out. Two days ago, I bought a three-pack of Jockey underwear, having briefly forgotten about the problems with the fragrance. I got them home and opened the package, and there was the same smell. Again, I washed them through two cycles and the smell is still there. I am pretty sure I cannot return them now after washing them. I just wanted to assure the others who have noticed this smell issue that you are not crazy -- Jockey is adding something to the fabric or to the packaging to cause this smell.

Maybe somebody tried them on or returned them - sorry

I also bought some online and they had a horrid baby powder smell that didn't wash out and irritated my skin. So I bought some at a department store, and they were the same. Had to throw out all six pairs. Anyone have another brand that has bikini undies with covered elastic and no scent?
