We're sorry to hear you noticed an unpleasant scent, and that you weren't pleased with the thickness. All of our products are thoroughly tested during the manufacturing process to ensure they reach you in the best possible condition and wipes may have an unusual smell if the product is past its intended shelf life. We'd like to learn more to see how we can help you try our Sensitive wipes instead, which are 20% thicker. Please give us a call when you're able at 1-800-726-7377.
