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

As a bald man sweat in my eyes is a serious problem. Hair really makes a difference in this area. I take this with me on hikes and am constantly using it all day long. I have never felt like it was wet. It's like this thing is just always dry and it always picks up all of my sweat.

Have purchased 4 of these now - they're great for any type of heated class. I always wash them right afterwards and have never had any issue with smell or pilling. I've had 2 for a couple of years now, and just recently purchased 2 more.

Great mat and excellent for the price.

Highly absorbent, but leaves lint on everything. I used it for about a week brand new and unwashed. I use it for hot yoga and place it over my yoga mat. Grips the mat well, but get lint on my clothes. I had a yoga towel (different brand) previously that I lost- it never left lint/fuzz on my clothes. I hoped it would go away after washing, but it’s been a couple weeks and still leaves lint.

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.

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.

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.

This towel is super cute, not too thin, not too thick, and great material. I use it for hot yoga. I also have their face towel in the same color. I noticed it tends to slip and bunch up a bit at the end of the towel about thirty minutes into my classes. It doesn’t bother me too much but I do have to adjust it so be aware of this!
