How does the hand towel help with slippage on the mat?

I just came back from a practice in a warm room in humid weather. Size-wise for me it is perfect. I don't like the full length towels and prefer to lay one across the top of the mat. These fit the bill sizewise and are light and provide fine traction for me. These with a manduka prolite are a perfect combo. Once came with a stupid rat silk screen on it though. Don't need that distraction; whereas the other didn't.

My feet and hands seem to always sweat and slip easily on a regular yoga mat. I got the regular yoga mat size towel and a hand towel. I always use the mat size towel on top of my mat and I do not slip at all. I use the hand towel (because the size is more manageable) for wiping excess sweat from hands and face. I don't do yoga on a mat without my YogaRat!

I have found that tucking it under edge of desk at one corner does the trick. For he most part it doesn't slide around much and certainly not when seated. Great mat and good value!

Unlikely, possibly you could have answered this yourself? Do your hands slip when you put them on a regular towel??

My yoga mats are not expensive either, I think I paid between $8 and $15 for them. When mine started getting slippery I would just buy a new one but now I use the slip free rosin and it pretty much takes care of it. I'm a little weird about the chalky feeling but I wash my hands immediately after yoga and I'm fine. It is definitely worth it.

I am not sure of the problem you are describing. If your treadmill is moving quite vigorously because the floor is incredibly uneven, such that moving the arms back and forth causes the machine to move side to side or front to back, then I am not sure this mat will solve the problem. If the problem is merely that the machine is slipping to and fro on the floor (such as because the floor is slanted one way or is incredibly slick), then I think the mat would solve that problem.

We have an elliptical on our mat and it works great, it protects the carpet and prevents slippage.

Yes we recommend bringing a towel in addition to this mat for hot yoga. Please give the mat a few uses to break it in and loosen the jute fibers to provide maximum traction. Thanks for your interest in our Barracuda Yoga mat! Tasha

We don't use it for slippage. My dog loves to chase his ball and our dog park is gravel so his pads get shredded. We use it to moisturize and heal. Just don't wear a nice shirt when applying in case the paws touch your shirt, its a little greasy.

If you mean can you put the towel directly on the floor with no yoga mat underneath, then yes you will slip.

Use a slipping mat. The stuff that usually goes under the rug to keep it from sliding. That should help

There is Velcro on the edges so that you can attach several mats together, and that does tend to hold on to our rug. I don't especially want that, but it does happen. I'm sure they didn't intend it to be a way to keep the mat from slipping on the carpet, but that's the end result. We haven't had a problem with it slipping, in any case.

That happens sometimes on this mat. I have sprayed the mat so that doesn't happen. Sometimes I forget my spray and have my water bottle. I will wet my hands and the mat a bit to prevent slipping which usually occurs during dry cool beginnings. Once there is moisture, no matter how much, I am stuck to this mat like a fly on sticky tape. lol. Hope it helps ;)

I think it would. I use my manduka towel on a manduka mat, so I could not honestly answer for another brand of mat. It works very well when slightly damp though.

The mat stays good on a hard floor, like in a gym. Have not tried on hardwood. The mat gets slippy when you sweat during the excercise. I like the size, but it could have more grip on its surface.

It's not a yoga mat and would slip on the floor. You could use it in place of the blanket or towel you take to yoga.

I'd invest in a towel mat to lay on top of your mat. Manduka is great, but I slip during class - I get very sweaty - and if I've forgotten my towel, it's not a fun experience.

Back is rough. Slippage depends on your surface. I have never found slipping a problem.
