Smell?

I don't have that particular dildo, but I will tell you that what few rubber toys I've owned (because I really hate rubber) has always had a smell to them, even after a lot of cleaning. The Erotic Wave actually smelt like burnt tires, and nothing I did could get the smell out!

I don't have this dildo either by have something like it. We have had it about 6 months it has been washed several times and has been aired out for weeks at a time the smell is about the same as when we bought it. We just cover it with a condom when we use it, and use scented, or flavored lube with it. You can try liquid dish soap and airing it out to see if it helps that was suggested by another reviewer but didn't help in our case.The condom was also suggested by another reviewer and works very well, the flavored lube works good for oral. Enjoy!

I totally agree - silicone, silicone composites, wood, metal and elastomer toys are pretty much the only toys I really enjoy. I avoid rubber and jelly toys because they smell so bad and they also cause burning for me. If my toys smell or hurt, I can't enjoy them. If you look for toys that are phthalate free, the smell is usually quite a bit lessened.
