Question from Rose
I recently purchased 2 Chantelle Bras. When I got them home , I realized the “nude” color one had an odd chemical odor to it, something I associated with a bug spray type smell.Being chemically sensitive,I sent it back to the store, keeping the black one, as it didnt seem to have the same problem.After washing the black one , it developed the smell after washing. I seem to get a headache from handling it. I have washed it repeatedly in fragrance free detergent and vinegar.Anyone else have this problem with this product, or can offer solutions? I also havent been able to buy the old fashioned cotton panties from Jockey the last 3-4 years.They seem to have some type of chemical scent put in -similar to some of the shoes that are made with the antimicrobial chemicals.

I had the same experience with Chantall Bra’s I purchased from Bloomingdales. They sent replacements and they had the same issue. I had to send them all back because the smell was so bad. I’ve bought them in the past and they were fine. I really like the bra but I believe they changed the padding they put in them. I also had the same issue with a sports bra I purchased from Target. No matter how much you wash them the odor is overwhelming.
