This may sound very strange, but....
Why don't all pantyhose/tights smell the same when you first open the packet?
I ask because once, long ago, the smell of a pair of brand new (never worn) tights was almost enough to class as an EOTD all on its own. However my recent purchases, especially those from China, don't smell the same or if they do, not a strongly as my memory recalls.
As an experiment (all scientific.... not! 😉 ) I've compared 4 recent purchases.
All are brand new, 2 are knowingly from China and 2 brought in the UK (. None are major brands (I seldom, if ever, buy brands anyway, preferring 'cheap and cheerful' for my fetish fun).
3 came in plastic bags and 1 in a cardboard box.
The 2 from China came in bags and smelt faintly, but not the 'nylon' smell I recall from my youth. The smell I did get was vaguely 'chemical' though not unpleasant.
The plastic bagged UK tights smelt of nothing at all - which is odd, as you would image some odour would be present.
Only the cardboard boxed tights had the faintest hint of what I would call 'nylon' (interestingly they are marked as '100% nylon' - but not where they are made)
Has anyone else noticed a change in the aroma of their favourite 'naughty nylon' purchases?
Is it simply that the manufacturing process and material has changed over the last 10-20 years?
