Safe Way Traction 16" X 40" White Adhesive Vinyl Anti Slip Non Skid Safety Bath Mat with Drain Cut Out

I stumbled on to this when I was searching for an anti slip product for my bathtub. I have been using a matt but we were expecting company and I didn't want to bother them to deal with the matt. Plus I didn't want the matt to catch alot of hair as I already have something like that at the drain, so was looking for something that looks good and functional. When I saw this and read the reviews, I thought, why not? Boy, I am glad I purchased it!What I love about this:1. the size: easily fits my tub from one end to the drain. It's perfect!2. the anti slip grip is subtle but works well. It's not highly bumpy, just has tiny, tiny grains of bumps, almost like dull sandpaper like3. sticks well! It's been almost 2 months since I installed it and the edges aren't curling or peeling off. And this is from DAILY showering in that tub. I am quite impressed by the quality.4. very thin but very functional, not heavy or thick like the rubber matts.5. it's forgiving enough when you install it and make mistakes. Meaning if it's not straight or if you have bubbles, you can peel it right away and fix that. BUT you really need to have 2 people working on this to help straighten out the bubbles.One thing though to know is, the item is delivered flimsily. Meaning it is just a thin roll of paper, folded, but don't worry, it will not keep that shape when you install it. Just unroll/unfold it for a day or two, have something heavy on it to help straighten it out. Once you peel the backing, folding parts will not be visible.I honestly am very impressed and so very pleased with the product! It looks great, not cheap and works great!

Purchased this item for my parents with a walk-in shower.Instructions are straight forward and easy to fallow. The non-slip surface feels good both dry and wet once the adhesive is given 24 hours to settle onto the floor.Totally worth it.

I purchased this adhesive vinyl mat in nov 2023 it is now april 2025 and the mat has been awesome the whole time, still well adhered to the tub and providing good traction. not as grippy as some other options but it is effective

Better than a bath mat. Great value, easy to install, white in color no yellowing, easy to clean. We've had it now for a few weeks it has good traction and adhesion is strong. There were no instructions in the box however there is a reviewer who gave great installation advice and we followed that!

I wish I would have found this sooner.Perfect for covering the bottom of the bathtub, great for bathtime for my daughter, aesthetically pleasing, and it has NOT lifted whatsoever after 6 months of continuous showers and bath tub time.I've been getting those bath mats with suction etc.. tried multiple..I don't like the stains on the bottom of my tub, and I wanted something nonslip on the bottom...but all those mats cause mold growth underneath and I don't want to add another chore to my list.THIS has truly made my life better, and I 1000% recommend. Take your time putting it down, because when it sticks, IT STICKS.. you can get air bubbles out with safety pin or a needle and press out... but just do it best you can the first time, don't leave it as a rush job and I promise you, no regrets on this.

Mine and my wife's only regret is not finding out about peel and stick bathtub mats 30 years ago. This mat is thin and sticks directly to the tub, so you can hardly tell it's there. Unlike suction cup mats that are bulky and have a tendency to slide around as well as get mildew underneath. Straightforward and simple installation, non-slip surface, and long length make this product a winner in all aspects. Everyone should own one of these.As for installation, if you're a perfectionist like myself, it can be as tricky as installing a cell phone screen protector. I still have a couple of very small bubbles that I couldn't get out, but these in no way affect the usefulness of this product, and truth be told you'd probably not even know they're there.As per included instructions, do not use a cleaner that contains silicone or other particles (no Soft Scrub, Ajax, Comet, etc). Here's what I did: Spray the tub with Fantastik and let it sit for 10 minutes. Wiped it down with a wet washcloth. Sprayed it again with Fantastik, wiped it down and rinsed it with hot water. Let the tub dry. Lay the mat down in the tub BEFORE peeling off the backing. Align the mat in the tub making sure to keep it far enough away from the drain that it's not on the downward curving part of the tub. Make sure sides are paralell to the tub walls. Now take a pencil and mark the corners by the tub drain, as well as every 8 inches along the side of the mat closest to you. These mark will help with alignment as you install the mat.Manufacturer's directions: Peel the backing by the drain cutout back about 12 inches and crease the backing paper so it's folded back on itself. Lay the mat in the tub and carefully align it to your pencil marks, being sure to stretch it taut from side-to-side. Reach underneath and pull the paper back another 12 inches. During this process you can lift the mat back up and reposition it as long as you don't press firmly to make it adhere.What I did differently: The manufacturer's method of "peel and stick as you go" would probably work fine if you had two people. One to align and stick the mat while the other holds the opposite end up and peels the paper. I was doing this alone, so I found it easier to peel the entire backing off and start on the outside edge of the tub, aligning the mat with my pencil marks and working my way from the outside to the inside of the tub, rather than from drain to rear of tub.No matter which method you use, it's inevitable that you're going to have bubbles. Especially if your tub has those textured bumps that seem so prevalent nowadays (mine has these). I just happened to have a 4" hard rubber roller that's normally used for applying veneers. I used this and rolled from the center of the tub out toward the edges and got 99.9% of all the bubbles out without a problem. The key here is that the bubbles will "walk" out to the edges as long as you have NOT pressed firmly and caused the adhesive backing to stick really good. Once it's firmly stuck down, any bubbles in the mat will not want to budge.If you find yourself stuck with too many or too big bubbles under the mat, use a knife or razor blade to carefully pry up one corner of the mat and peel it off the tub until you get to the problem area, then re-stick it back down. If you don't have a roller, I suggest standing on the mat with bare feet and firmly pressing it in place at the end. The glue is waterproof, so once it's stuck down you can use it immediately.If you used pencil to mark the corners and sides, you can now use a little Soft Scrub and a toothbrush, or Fantastik and a sponge to remove the pencil marks.UPDATE: It's been about 6 months now since we purchased and installed this bath mat. This mat is so low profile and so maintenance-free that you literally almost forget that it's even there. I can pretty much guarantee that if you've been using suction cup bath mats and you switch to this, you'll never want to go back.

Love this! and was a great alternative to getting the bottom of my bath tub repaired. I've had it installed for 2 weeks now and no issues at all! buy it, if you are on the fence....I enjoy not having to have a mildew mat in the tub.

Easy to install and I feel a lot safer in the shower. No more sliding in the shower. It has also made it eaiser to wash my dog in tub because she doesn't slip in tub. Her nails don't tear it either.
