Shandali GoSweat Non-Slip Hot Yoga Towel with Super-Absorbent Soft Suede Microfiber in Many Colors, for Bikram Pilates and Yoga Mats.

If you are looking for a very absorbent towelto use for sopping up a lot of sweat, look no further.I recently purchased myself an infrared sauna and quickly discovered that I did not care for my previously owned hot yoga towels because I could feel the grippy bumps on the hard wooden bench. (Wasn’t as noticeable at Hotworx on a yoga mat and needed the grip so I didn’t faceplant in downward dog!) I didn’t want thick terrycloth style that pills or leaves lint. I wanted soft smoother material and these are perfect. I got the large to lie on the bench and the small to continuously dry off the rolling sweat. They are super soft and unbelievably absorbent! I love the colors. Started with lavender, just ordered pink and plan to get several more so that I’m only doing laundry once a week.

Perfect for hot yoga or pilates! keeps you from slipping and sliding leaving you with a nice comfy grip! It fits your averaged sized yoga mat.

While browsing new mat towels, I wanted to know how long I've been using my purple one. I've been using this towel for almost two years. I wash it after every use, I prefer low heat drying. It is still in great shape and feels high quality. I do hot yoga and sweat a lot. The sweat shows on the towel, which I don't love and it's not "nonslip" but also isn't slippery?? However, it's overall a good towel.

Pros:- Lightweight: Easy to carry and transport, suitable for on-the-go yoga practice.- Absorbent Material: The towel effectively soaks up sweat during hot yoga sessions, keeping you dry.- Good Value for Money: Provides excellent value for the price, delivering the expected functionality.Cons:- Initial Washing Required: Needs to be washed before use to prevent pilling.- Slippage: Tends to slip and slide during the initial stages of practice until it becomes wet.- Limited Grip: Lacks specialized grips, making it less suitable for dynamic or fast-paced yoga styles.- Not Ideal for All Yoga Styles: May not be the best choice for yoga styles that involve a lot of movement due to the slippage issue.

Perfect towel for Hot Pilates! Comfy, soft, and anti-slip resistant.

I do hot yoga regularly and wanted to get a new mat towel into the rotation. I was looking for a less expensive option to the Yogitoes Skidless mat towels I currently own, and thought the "#1 Best Hot Yoga Towel, Super Absorbent, 100% Microfiber, Anti-Slip, SUEDE, Best Bikram / HOT Yoga Towel..." at $22 sounded ideal. It's less than half the price, and I liked it right away out of the box. It's definitely soft, I like how it feels against my skin, and it's quite large - overhangs my yoga mat by at least an inch on all sides, which is fine. I washed it right away and put it into practice the next day.The first time I used it, I didn't wet it. I never wet my Yogitoes towels, and even though this towel doesn't have anything to "grip" against your mat, the suede texture felt like it would provide some level of non-slip. And I suppose it does... if you're comparing it to a regular house towel or beach towel. My feet and hands don't slip at all on this product, but this product doesn't stay in place on the mat nearly as well as compared to the Yogities. Whether I'm hopping forward, sliding through, or turning my feet for placement - the towel moved or bunched EACH time. Every time we returned to downward dog, I found myself using the opportunity to smooth it back into place, and once I had to stop during class to reposition it and smooth it because it was driving me nuts. Near the end of class, by the time my sweat and general studio humidity had put moisture into the towel, it wasn't sliding as much. But it was still a huge disappointment.The next time I used it, I wet it using the studio spray bottle. It definitely helped, but it still moved or bunched pretty easily, so I thought maybe I hadn't wet it enough. So the last time I used it, I poured water from my bottle onto the mat in several spots to make sure it was dampened all the way through in several areas. This definitely helped - but even damp, it still bunches under my feet if I'm "turning" my feet or hands for various poses, or twisting against it. It's not terrible, and it hasn't required stopping class to reposition like it did that first day. Occasional bunching is easy enough to smooth out during a downward dog... but at the end of the day, this is no where NEAR the "best" I was expecting based on the item description and the few reviews I read. I will say, it does a great job of soaking up sweat! So perhaps if you have an advanced practice (where you're pretty much floating lightly in and out of poses), and you're looking for something that will actually draw moisture away from you, then I think this would work well. But if you're not advanced and you don't want to be distracted by your mat towel during practice, spend the extra money and get the Yogitoes or another mat with the rubber/silicone grippers that will actually grip against your mat during poses to help keep it in place.

This towel is very good quality. It fits my mat perfectly and keeps me from slipping during heated yoga sessions. It is lightweight, and dries quickly. It also washes well. Would recommend to friends looking for a yoga towel

I love hot yoga and the best towel I found was the Yogitoes but it was crazy expensive and my hands still slipped on it towards the end of class when I was tired. I tried this towel and I like it! It is very sticky even dry and my hands and feet do not slip at all. I did read the reviews about people getting tangled up in the towel and I can see why... my Yogitoes would stretch on the mat in the warrior poses but when I moved out of them it would bounce back and if a wrinkle remained it would just take a flick with a foot to put it back. This towel also stretches in the warrior poses but it is so sticky that it sticks to the mat like that and doesn't bounce back. Thus it takes some effort to fix it. But the wet-er it gets the less it moves. By the end of class it was soaked and stuck to my mat like a second skin and did not move. It was like wallpaper! So to clarify, it moves a little on the mat when it is dry but sticks better the wetter it gets, however, it sticks to your hands and feet like glue no matter the moisture. I'm not stressed out by a wrinkle, as long as my feet aren't sliding away from my hands in down dog so this is definitely the towel for me. And added bonus, there are no little rubber feet on one side to create static in my dryer. Sooooo tired of unrolling my towel in yoga class only to realize I accidently brought a sock or a pair of underwear to class with me, embarrassing!
