Are these duranex brand? Amazon prime also lists what appears to be same product, but several reviews say the masks stink. Do these have odor?

Go to the manufacturer's site (quirky-dot-com), look at the colors they're selling there. No match between manufacturer's colors and what's being sold on Amazon. Looks like everything sold on Amazon is knock-offs, but using the manufacturer's name. Seems logical to think the widely-reported terrible smells are because the products being sold are fake. I'd expect Amazon to do something about this.

There is a slight rubbery like smell. For me it didn't bother me or my husband. It is really hard to gauge as everybody's tolerance for smell is different. I've seen them sold at a Walmart store. That might be an option.

BUYER BEWARE! Yes, they may have an odor. This is because the product is basically home made. It is made in somebody's backyard. No certified facilities, nothing. Look them up. Google them for yourself. It would not surprise me if the smell you were sensing was mold due to inadequate processing. You just never know, unless your product comes from a name brand and a legitimate lab.

I love the idea of this mask and still have it AND replacement filters lying around. I however personally was deeply bothered by the smell of neoprene and it never went away....severe headaches with it being on for just minutes and it felt like my airways were inhaling a gas substance coming off of the chemical cloth. It's a gamble at best since I've seen reviews elsewhere state similar issues yet others that love the product. Take your chances but I know neoprene has offgassing that doesn't seem to deteriorate quickly or at all. If anybody else has better input that'd be great because I was never able to use the product...I'm here to warn. I love the idea of this mask and still have it AND replacement filters lying around.

I believe that they did have an odor but I of course laundered them before use and they were fine. I have several sets, as I eat tons of fresh produce daily and I would be lost without them!

I don't know but I remember buying this brand because it was the most non-toxic I could find. I don't think they smelled at all when I got them. I love them. Good luck!

I got mine a long time ago, I don't really remember if they smelled right out of the box, if they did, they definitely don't smell anymore!!

I noticed no smell at all, and I purchased them several months ago. Hope this helps.

These are surgical masks with a cover sheet to protect from splashes. They are not truly reusable, although I will wear one more than once. There is always the risk of contaminating the inside of the mask from materials that would gather on the "cover" when taking it off and on. I find that these are durable and comfortable and without overwhelming odors. You may want to look for other masks which have a valve to allow the discharge of breath if you are exerting yourself. Nearly all masks are meant for a single use. Beyond these are actual haz masks like they wear in the movies with replaceable filters and hard shells capable of disinfection.

I still use my e cloths but they have a funny smell. I am planning on buying Norwex very soon. I thought at first they were pretty comparable but the more I use them, the bigger the difference I see.

It depends on the vendor. When I bought a pair from iDeal Xpert, they were fake. But I took a chance and bought again from MyParana, and those were real and new! Over the past several days I haven't seen Amazon itself selling any, but we customers should help each other know who sells the real ones and who doesn't!

Same quality as a walmart brand. In other words if you want a high quality mask, no. If you want a Walmart quality it's cheaper to buy it online though or search C.List.

Sorry-last answer was wrong product. Love the ice packs-very little odor-maybe smells like cedar. We store them in the freezer and ice our sore muscles every day. We are up tp 3 of them!

No odor. They are in a large gel cap that you swallow so you don't taste anything. I only take one a day even though the recommended dose is two a day. I think they've helped the dryness/irritation in my eyes when I wear contacts. I was wearing my contacts only three days in a row, then glasses for a couple days. I've been wearing my contacts much more since I've started taking these. I have less fluctuation in my vision too.
