Just started Bikram (hot) yoga and was slipping and sliding on my old bath towel, so I decided to give this a try. It fits perfectly to my yoga mat and really does absorb the sweat really well. It bunches up a little when we are moving positions a lot, but overall I feel it was money well spent, especially seeing how much other manufacturers charge. Definitely worth it!

I love this yoga towel. It is the perfect size to fit on my yoga mat. It works great when doing hot yoga such as Ashtanga yoga. It aborbs the sweat very well and you don’t slip and slide all over your mat. It’s also machine washable which is a plus!

I have used yogitoes towels in bikram for a long time but i got this as a gift and it is just as good, possibly more absorbent although moves a little but it works great for bikram, i will never spend the money on YogiToes towels again

This towel takes very little space in my Yoga bag and is bigger than my bath towels which this is used for.

I sweat a lot even in regular yoga classes, plus rental mats skeeve me out, so I got this to absorb sweat and provide a hygenic layer. It works great, not slippery at all, covers the whole mat, and is super absorbent. It bunches up ever so slightly around my feet sometimes, but this really doesn’t bother me at all. I just fix it with my toes when I’m in down dog!! I think this towel is a great deal for the price and would totally buy it again.

I completely love my yoga towel. It is a great price and it works well. It prevents me from slipping on my mat and it captures moisture well.

I own this towel, and two other more expensive brands. I think this one works exactly the same. I practice bikram yoga multiple times a week and I don’t see any difference between this towel and the others. Except, of course, this one is half the price. I would definitely recommend it, especially to someone who is just starting out and isn’t sure how much to spend, or to someone who practices pretty frequently and needs more than one.

I really like this towel. In fact, I like it more than my yogitoes towel. It sticks to my mat well and is very soft. Also, I like that it dries very quickly after I wash it. It’s a great value if you are not will to spend lots of money on more expensive brands.

This towel is great for Bikram (hot) yoga. It fits perfectly on my Gaiam yoga mat, absorbs sweat well, and isn’t bulky when it’s folded up in my bag. It was slippery after the first time I washed it, which was a little alarming. But since then I’ve been washing it without fabric softer and allowing it to air dry, and slipping is now minimal. I have no regrets about purchasing this towel instead of one of the more expensive ones, and have since bought three more!

I am definitely a fan of this towel. I do Bikram yoga 4-5 times per week, and this towel absorbs well, and fits perfectly on my mat. One Thirsty Towel was not cutting it for the frequency of my Bikram Yoga practice, so I bought 2 more. The price is right, and it does the job. I noticed a lot of people were saying this towel slides around on their mat – I do not experience this. Perhaps you aren’t sweating enough to make this thing stick to your mat??
I sweat like a fire hydrant on full blast, so I am sure that is why my towel doesn’t slide around my mat. If you don’t sweat much, maybe you would be better off with the more expensive kind with the silicone dots.
Definitely a fan, and will probably buy a 4th!
