Shandali GoSweat Non-Slip Hot Yoga Towel with Super-Absorbent Soft Suede Microfiber in Many Colors, for Bikram Pilates and Yoga Mats.

I use it for hot yoga, it is very good and easy to wash but it is slippery.

I have been practicing yoga on and off for over 10 years. Even while doing regular temperature yoga I would sweat A LOT from my hands and feet; the drawback of having palmer and plantar hyperhydrosis (don't know what that is? look it up and thank your lucky stars you don't suffer from it). I used a hand towel and a larger bath towel so that I wouldn't slip and slide all over the yoga mat. I just started doing hot yoga and the towel thing was NOT working. It was constantly bunching up and was difficult to keep in place. I then searched on the web and read many reviews on the various yoga towels out there. I think this must be a relatively new thing because 10+ years ago I didn't know any such thing existed. I wanted a product that was of excellent quality, did what it said it would do, and came in at a price point between $20 and $40. A bonus item for me was color choices. I used this towel for the first time for a hot yoga class that was at 105 degrees. I did have to spray the towel initially in order to get my hands and feet not to slip initially, but after getting started the sweat was definitely enough to keep the towel damp enough for no slipping to occur. There was a tiny bit of bunching of the towel but I don't think you can ever really get away from that. It was definitely a night and day difference over using my standard towels. I have just purchased a second towel so that I can wash one and use one. I am completely satisfied with my purchase and with a price point between $18 and $20 for a towel that covered my standard mat on all sides with a 1-2 inch extra, it has surpassed all my expectations. The bonus is that this towel comes in a lot of wonderful solid colors. I didn't want any designs to distract from my practice.

This is the best yoga towel I am tried so far! This is my third brand of towel to try. I typically practice vinyasa flow in a heated room and where we are moving quite vigorously throughout the class. I have had a difficult time finding a towel that stays relatively in place while I practice my flow type classes. If I have to adjust the towel, it becomes very distracting. I used this towel doing a ladder flow the other day and I only had to adjust it slightly on the sides during the entire 75 minute class. And the adjustments were very minimal, like when I was in down dog pulling the corner over. Another thing is that this towel does not have a scent to it which is amazing. I have another brand of towel at home that gradually starts to smell a little chemically the wetter it gets. No scent here! The towel is very thin. Be mindful that if you want a thicker towel, this one is not for you. It is very thin, but absorbs well - trust me I was sweating A LOT. I generally like a thinner towel because it does not get caught on my foot when moving between poses. I also love the colors these towels come in. I ordered the teal and pink and I am very happy with both colors as they are what is advertised. The texture is suede-like, soft and like I said earlier absorbed the sweat well. I did not slip once even when the towel was dry. Overall, the Shandali Gosweat Hot Yoga Towel is excellent quality and I will be ordering more colors!

It is a great with absorbing sweat! I gave it four stars because it isn’t the best about staying in place.

This is my holy grail of sweat towels!!! This is a review for the hand towels only. I bought the yoga towel but have not used it yet so I can’t speak to it. I use these hand towels when doing my Insanity workouts and they don’t exfoliate my face off (in a bad way) like other microfiber sweat towels. Rather it feels like a cherub is lightly wiping my face with a Cirrus cloud. I feel like this towel is what microfiber should feel like - heavenly soft and suede-like, but still soaks up all my sweat and dries pretty fast. It’s dish towel sized like the kind you fold and hang over your oven handle, and easy to throw in both the washer and dryer. Other microfiber towels get a lot of static and cling to clothes after you take them out of the dryer. This towel gets a little bit of static, but significantly less, and is significantly less clingy to other clothes as well. The color and softness remains after washing and the color is true to the photos. I bought the light blue and light purple colors and the color of the thread in the border stitching matches the color of the towel. I don’t want to take a chance on the light pink color as the photos show a different thread color.

I do hot yoga regularly and wanted to get a new mat towel into the rotation. I was looking for a less expensive option to the Yogitoes Skidless mat towels I currently own, and thought the "#1 Best Hot Yoga Towel, Super Absorbent, 100% Microfiber, Anti-Slip, SUEDE, Best Bikram / HOT Yoga Towel..." at $22 sounded ideal. It's less than half the price, and I liked it right away out of the box. It's definitely soft, I like how it feels against my skin, and it's quite large - overhangs my yoga mat by at least an inch on all sides, which is fine. I washed it right away and put it into practice the next day. The first time I used it, I didn't wet it. I never wet my Yogitoes towels, and even though this towel doesn't have anything to "grip" against your mat, the suede texture felt like it would provide some level of non-slip. And I suppose it does... if you're comparing it to a regular house towel or beach towel. My feet and hands don't slip at all on this product, but this product doesn't stay in place on the mat nearly as well as compared to the Yogities. Whether I'm hopping forward, sliding through, or turning my feet for placement - the towel moved or bunched EACH time. Every time we returned to downward dog, I found myself using the opportunity to smooth it back into place, and once I had to stop during class to reposition it and smooth it because it was driving me nuts. Near the end of class, by the time my sweat and general studio humidity had put moisture into the towel, it wasn't sliding as much. But it was still a huge disappointment. The next time I used it, I wet it using the studio spray bottle. It definitely helped, but it still moved or bunched pretty easily, so I thought maybe I hadn't wet it enough. So the last time I used it, I poured water from my bottle onto the mat in several spots to make sure it was dampened all the way through in several areas. This definitely helped - but even damp, it still bunches under my feet if I'm "turning" my feet or hands for various poses, or twisting against it. It's not terrible, and it hasn't required stopping class to reposition like it did that first day. Occasional bunching is easy enough to smooth out during a downward dog... but at the end of the day, this is no where NEAR the "best" I was expecting based on the item description and the few reviews I read. I will say, it does a great job of soaking up sweat! So perhaps if you have an advanced practice (where you're pretty much floating lightly in and out of poses), and you're looking for something that will actually draw moisture away from you, then I think this would work well. But if you're not advanced and you don't want to be distracted by your mat towel during practice, spend the extra money and get the Yogitoes or another mat with the rubber/silicone grippers that will actually grip against your mat during poses to help keep it in place.

Works great. Keeps me from slipping and soaks up sweat really well. It had some fuzzies the first couple of times using it but after a few washes it’s so much better.

If you are looking for a very absorbent towel to use for sopping up a lot of sweat, look no further. I recently purchased myself an infrared sauna and quickly discovered that I did not care for my previously owned hot yoga towels because I could feel the grippy bumps on the hard wooden bench. (Wasn’t as noticeable at Hotworx on a yoga mat and needed the grip so I didn’t faceplant in downward dog!) I didn’t want thick terrycloth style that pills or leaves lint. I wanted soft smoother material and these are perfect. I got the large to lie on the bench and the small to continuously dry off the rolling sweat. They are super soft and unbelievably absorbent! I love the colors. Started with lavender, just ordered pink and plan to get several more so that I’m only doing laundry once a week.

Super confortable, tissu doux. Tres bonne qualité

Non slip, been using this for hot yoga! Highly recommend !

I've been using this towel for almost a year in my hot yoga classes and the quality is still great, the size is perfect and it doesn't slip. I bought one for my partner and he only had to dampen it a little the first time and now it works great.

Amazing product, went back and bought another!

Super ligera y absorbente, Funciona ! no te resbalas, pero tiene que haber algo de humedad, si no sudas o si el clima es completamente seco te resbalaras, recomiendo para climas húmedos/calientes o si sudas mucho durante tu practica
