Loved this so much I just bought another!!!! Great for hot yoga or any type of yoga to add comfort and a little extra grip to your mat. get one today.

I wish I could afford another three of these. I do bikram and warm-room flow yoga and attend class at least 4 times/week, this mat is just about perfect for both. I would use this mat every day if I didn't sweat so much that it absolutely requires washing between uses. I think by "skidless" they mean more that it wont slip off your mat vs. you wont slip off of it. That said, I do find that once I've worked up a little sweat, or if I sprinkle a little water on it at the start of class, I wont slip out of a down dog.

Pros:
- covers my entire yoga mat
- doesn't wrinkle or buckle like a towel
- very absorbant
- light weight
- machine washable and dryer safe
- comes in many nice colors

Cons:
- prohibitively expensive (I got mine for $49, but now even the regular-sized ones are going for $55)
- big size currently only comes in two colors, I like the extra length
- can be a little tough to hold those first few down dogs if it's not damp

Towels just don't compare, I love this mat.

Trikanasana was always my most feared posture in Bikram, in fact I hurt my hamstring several years ago when my foot slipped out from under me in this posture. With the Yogitoes towel, which I use upside-down (dots up) on a Manduka mat, I feel secure.

I know the dots are supposed to keep the towel from slipping on a mat, but the Manduka mat already has that covered, so I use the dots to keep my feet from slipping on the towel. I drizzle a little water from my water bottle for the length of the towel where I'm going to stand for this series, and I have great traction.

Now some may argue that one should be strong and balanced enough to do this posture on any surface. I have heard such sentiments uttered. That's fine, but you have to get to that point of strength and balance somehow, and until you do it's probably better not to be hurting yourself. Thus we have straps and blocks and other adaptive tools, and I see this mat as another adaptive tool.

It's also great to have a dedicated yoga towel. I don't have to coordinate usage of my regular towels or beach towels, this one is only for yoga and that helps when things are busy. These are less linty than normal towels, and also so thin that they fit right in the mat bag with my big old Manduka mat and 2 hand towels.

I prefer the Yogitoes towel over a regular towel. It is a must for Bikram Yoga or Power Yoga. It is easy to clean, just throw it in the washer and dryer.

This towel is wonderful for hot yoga (or any type of yoga for that matter). Nice size which washed up great and even after many times in the dryer still covers the mat with room to spare. I would highly recommend it.
