I bought this yoga towel for the hot yoga class I am taking. It is a great towel and wash well.

I bought my first one Andri it came really good. Then I bought another two then it came really bad. The material is thinner, the rubber doesn't stick well, the lenght shorter than the first one.

nice and think and doesn't move with great hand grip!

I am new to vinyasa power yoga and this towel completely changed how I practice. Instead of worrying about fixing the corners of my towel every 3 seconds, this towel really feels like an addition to my mat and allows me to focus on the poses. 10/10 would recommend!

I can't say enough bad things about this. This isn't a towel with rubber backing. It a piece of stretchy soft cloth sewn to a piece of rubber fabric at the edges. It wrinkles, puckers, and curls up at the edges. And slippery? Oh yeah! My hands kept sliding out. Also, my heels are cracked from Winter weather and the cloth stuck to my feet like velcro. Why Gaiam? Why?

I sweat a lot, and I love going for 1.5hrs hot yoga classes. This towel really serves me well as it's thick and absorbent and the rubber underlay adds an additional barrier between the class mat and my skin. I'd like to think this serves as an additional hygiene barrier. I have been using this for about 6 months now and my towel surface separated from the rubber bottom only after i forgot to fold it and put it in a net for washing. I normally either hang or flat dry it. Prior to forgetting the net, towel had no issues whatsoever. Even the separation is a minor issue as once placed on the mat, there are no problems. The only negative about this mat is it is bulky. If you go to a studio far from home or you're not driving, this is troublesome to lug around.

This mat was great the first few times I used it. Once through the wash and it's like the stickiness is gone. It bunches and gathers, and my feet slip during poses.

THE worst disaster with biggest disappointment ever in my yoga experience, already before I used it. Washed before first use, and shrieked completely. A complete tatter, rag ...it looks now. Bought this 3 weeks ago and was so excited of your proclaimed what should be quality that I trow my old away before using yours one...

So frustrated! As soon as it was washed, it bunched badly, distracting me from my practice.

Used the towel for the first time today. Sprayed it down with water to keep it from sliding around and half way through class I had to stop what I was doing to spray it down with water again. It was a mess

The towel stained the shelf and I am not able to remove it. I've washed the towel before storing.

Tried it yesterday and my feet didn't slide at all. Towel never moved or bunched on my mat. I can use it as a travel may.

The towel is almost double layered and the top layer slides around and bunches up. It makes me lose my footing during planks and different ground poses.

I got this towel as a gift and love it! It stays put dries quickly and you can wash it in the washing machine! I just bought one for my husband since he started going!

I have been using your Grippy Yoga Mat Towel for years. I had tired many different ones and this one was the best. It did not slide around or bunch up on the mat and it could thrown in the washer and dryer. I'm sorry to say that your new version is far inferior. The top layer of fabric separates from the bottom layer leaving a "bubble" type effect so the towel does not lay flat. Also, the sides tend to roll in. And this version can not go in the dryer. I have tried several of the colors just to make sure it was not a problem with one particular towel, or one color, but they all do this to one degree or another. It's very disappointing as you had the best towel on the market for hot yoga, but not anymore
