Clever Yoga - Non-Slip Hot Yoga Towel Mat with Sweat Absorbent Microfiber Suede & Double Sided Grip Hot Yoga Towel Mat with Honeycomb Design - Lilac

I have had various yoga mat towels including the $$$ YogiToes. All of them start out a wee bit slippery especially after 60 min of 105F hot yoga with sweat pouring off my forehead and arms. They get worse after subsequent washings (could it be the dryer sheets)? After much cramping due to trying to hold a downward dog while my hands are failing underneath me, I decided to try this yoga towel.Out of the packaging, it smells bad. Like BO mixed with tires. I chose not to throw mine in the wash right away because I wanted to see how sticky it was right out of the box (but I did spray it down with a healthy dose of Febreeze). Holy moly, this towel STICKS, not just to my hands but to my Manduka mat underneath. If you lay the towel down on your mat and make sure it's flat throughout (no bumps or curled edges at the bottom), this towel won't budge. The hexagonal silicon shapes really make a difference! I'm afraid to use any of my other towels now!PS. I certainly hope this towel holds up to frequent washings. I'm going to try hang drying it and not putting it in the dryer with dryer sheets to see if that helps to prolong the stickiness.EDIT: 3 Month update...So I've been using this towel almost exclusively for 3 months now (that's about 30 yoga classes and about the same amount of washings). I am impressed: The hexagonal shapes have not lifted nor peeled one bit! It's like they're laser printed on! Has the mat become slippery since I bought it? Maybe a little. Last night I noticed my hands slipping in down dog, but honestly it was really minor and it might have been due to my pose (I had one leg in the air, bent, for "hip opener" which is one of my least favorite poses). Note: I don't wash with fabric softeners and I don't dry this towel with a dryer sheet. I also don't spray it down with water before class. All in all I still give this towel 2 thumbs up. My favorite part is that it stays flat throughout class and doesn't bunch up at all. Even if my hands were to slip, it sticks like glue to my mat.

Love the color. Love the softness. Great areas to prevent slipping. Kinda pricey but if you are looking for something like this, you will be happy.

I really like this over mat towel. It does the trick of absorbing sweat and keeping me from sliding around. I wash it after every use and have not noticed any damage from the wear and tear. It stays in place well and I would buy it again if needed.

Lovely and has great traction. Not lumpy and takes little room in gym bag. Great product for pilates.

ProsSticky without having to add water, absorbent, mostly stays in place, hands and feet no longer slip around and I feel safeConsHeavy, still needs some readjusting, the cost is wince worthy, but not slipping around was worth itI wash it on cold and line dry after every class. It’s been nearly a month and still looks like new. No issues with color loss or color transfer. I bought it in grey.

This is the best yoga mat towel for no slip with agreat design! I have been doing yoga for over 20 years and have bought many yoga towels, especially for hot yoga. What I like is that even dry it does not buckle up, and when I sweat it absorbs. It stays in place. It is very well made and just what I have needed to have a stress free class!

I love hot yoga and this towel is amazing as far as being grippy. I don't ever move or slide! I haven't washed it yet so I can't say if the color will go onto anything else as I've seen in other reviews but definitely a great value and works!!

Been using this regularly for 2 weeks now- stays in place over a mat and doesn’t slip out of place during active yoga. Very sweat absorbent, easy wash and dry. Buying a 2nd one!

The plastic stick stuff is on both sides, which is interesting, but plastic gets slippery when wet, so if you're dripping buckets during class, you might prefer a different towel with grips only on one side. Still 5 stars for quality and non-hot yoga stickiness.

Got so many compliments on this!! Great quality and drys quickly. I machine wash it in cold water, hang dry it, and its good to go for my next class. Love it

Estoy muy satisfecha con mi toalla anti deslizante,es hermosa,practica. Y cumple con lo que ofrecen,muy buena para ashtanga yoga,un gusto que lo vale 😉

I have tried countless types of towels for hot yoga over the years and always ended up slipping and sliding. Not anymore. These towels with silicone grip by Clever Yoga are the best I have ever used and are all that I use now. They're beautiful, comfortable, and the silicone grips are very effective. I no longer slip, slide, or lose my grip. I love them so much that I purchased two in each color because I do hot yoga several times a week and never what to be without these towels in future. Absolute game-changer for hot yoga. I wash them on a gentle cycle and hang them to dry, which they do quickly and beautifully. Just follow the washing instructions that come with each towel. I've had fellow classmates stop to ask me where I got them from. Do yourself and your yoga practice a favor and buy these yoga towels. I'm beyond happy with them. Great seller, too. Excellent communication and prompt shipping!

I bought because a studio I frequent provides mats but requires you to bring your own towel. It works great... while I wouldn't consider it completely non-slip on the mat side (only because it's thin, not because it's not sticky), I do find it a lot better on the human size. I frequent another studio that has a soft floor so this is perfect as I don't need to carry my mat and I think it will be also be great for travelling (except without any cushion of course)
