Youphoria Yoga Microfiber Non-Slip Towel - Hot Yoga Mat Towel for Enhanced Grip and Sweat Absorption

This actually a beautiful towel. I use it for hot yoga, and I also use it for like a blanket when I need it under my knees for support.

So, I'm first to admit I'm a disgusting sweaty mess when I exercise or work out. No hiding it. I'm the worst of anyone I know, by far. You don't even understand, man. Doesn't matter how little effort I exert, I start sweating pretty quickly (thankfully I don't have bad BO - I swear!). Needless to say the whole Bikram/Heated Yoga thing makes it 10x worse, and as such was a TERRIBLE experience for me the first time. I went prepared with a $20 mat I purchased from a random convenience store and a small face towel, and I literally had water *streaming* off of my shirt onto my mat for most of the class. I've never seen sweat hold a constant stream... like, what the hell? NOT FAIR My entire mat was engulfed in a puddle that was encroaching on my neighbor's space (oops), and I couldn't so much as plant my feet at 30' angle without slipping. Pretty embarrassing, and disgusting, and sad. The paper towels laughed at me, and were futile. Sure, everyone in a class like that class sweats a good amount, but I seriously sweat more than the next 6-7 people (AT LEAST) combined. I would've liked to pretend that this all never happened, and that I could honestly swear I would never step foot in another heated class again, but I had 9 classes remaining on my deal and actually enjoyed the class otherwise. Further, is all of the 'advanced' classes were heated, and that was what I liked the most. So, after a fair amount of amazon searching and reading, I decided on this purchase - and it is a WORLD of difference. This mat handled the deluge of sweat from a class, and kept the mat underneath it in reasonable shape. No puddles on the mat or the floor; just some minor moisture. Further, is it never got slippery, at all. If anything my grip got better as it got wetter, somehow (though it does recommend some moisture for best results). But seriously, I can't even fathom how this thing absorbed 95% of the sweat. I rang it out after the class, and out flooded enough water on the pavement to fill a bucket. The puddle was like the circumference of a mini-cooper. I'm not joking around when I say I sweat a lot. It was disgusting, but hey, no one knew about it but me this time! The thing had to of had around 10lbs of water in it. Ok, so, don't mean to gross everyone out but I just wanted to emphasize how awesome a job this towel did. I fully recommend it. Oh, and it fit my mat perfectly, and didn't move or have to get readjusted much at all. Feels nice too. Customer service is also excellent and very personal. Though, honestly everything else could've been terrible and I still would've been super happy to not have to worry about slipping, falling, and splashing the entire class with the puddle I land in. Great product.

I started doing hot yoga this year. Originally i was just using my jade yoga mat, which is nice. However, I was really slipping and finding it difficult to hold postures. The jade yoga mat is a gret mat. Its pretty thick and with a little sweat, it's fine. For those classes where the heat is cranked up to 95 degrees, you are dripping within 5 minutes ( well, i am). By adding the Youphoria yoga towel, i feel much more confident in my poses. I lay it right over my yoga mat, and I spray some water on it before class starts to "activate" it. I really like the color, and I am glad I decided on this towel, as I over researched when I was shopping for one. The customer service is great. They send follow up emails making sure you are happy with the product. The reason I am giving it 4 instead of 5 stars, is that it still scrunches up sometimes. It's not a huge deal, but it moves on the mat a bit during class. The mat itself stays put, but the towel has to be straightened out at some points , especially before balance poses. Other than that, I think it's a great mat, and it really helps with the slipping problem. I'm happy with the purchase and I would recommend anyone doing hot yoga to get one. I wish it came in 72" also! Enjoy! EDIT: So after a couple months using this product, I started to have the corners of the towel curl up on me during practice. I dealt with it for a while but it became annoying. I emailed the company asking if htey had any tips. They explained I must have the older version of the towel. They have since made a thicker towel that doesn't have that problem. They asked if I'd like a new one, completely free of charge!! Now THAT is customer service and It deserves an extra star for that! Great company and i still recommend this towel.

Pretty good! Just gets a lot of lint on it if not washed alone. I use it for hot pilates

It served its purpose!! Works great bc I get sweaty and helps my feet stay grounded! Very soft and absorbent! And fits perfectly on my mat!

So I bought this towel for my hot yoga classes. I used it for the first time last night for a hot flow class. Downfalls: I was a little disappointed because it did not stay in place on the mat as well as I had hoped for. I was constantly pulling it and trying to put it back in place which was a bit of a distraction during class. Also, the towel seemed a little bit thick. I think this may have been the issue because my foot kept getting caught on the mat as it would wrinkle changing postures. Another thing I noticed was that about 60 min into class the towel started to have a bit of a rubbery smell. At first I thought the smell was me or my neighbor, but by the end I could tell it was the towel. The smell wasn't terrible, but I just wasn't sure why that was happening. Upsides: On the plus side, I did not slip one bit on the towel. The class was 75min in 90 degrees so I was pouring sweat and there was no slipping. The towel also seemed to absorb moisture well so I did not feel I was in a puddle of my own sweat (eww). The towel is also extremely soft and comfortable to lay and stand on. Overall, I will not be buying another one. I would like to get one that will stay in place a bit better for vinyasa and flow type classes. If you practice yoga where you are not moving through vignorous postures I would say this towel would be a great for you. I do feel like it is one of the better yoga towels out there. I have had some experience with various yoga towels and this one is excellent quality, but just isn't a great fit for my practice.

got this for hot yoga, washes easy, I don't use fabric softener on it to keep it nice. I still need to pour a bit of water on it when it's dry for traction. Overall it does the job (amazon influencer paid for with my own funds)

MUY MALA CALIDAD

not fit for yoga , towel sticks to your skin

Excellent quality yoga towel, stays put and protects my mat

I go to hot yoga almost every day, this towel is perfect for it. I place it over my mat and it helps prevent me from sliding all over the place, it also absorbs all the sweat and water which is great because it keeps my actual yoga mat clean. I wash it and it’s ready for the next use. I highly recommend.

superb quality,have already washed about 3 times-no damage at all incurred.Will be buying more of these!
