First of all you must wash this several times SEPARATELY before putting it in the wash with your other clothes. The tag says to do so, but the colors were still bleeding after 3 washings.
I just measured my towel and it is 79″, which is 6 inches shorter than my Manduka Black Mat Pro 85″ mat. I learned if you don’t want to slip off the end of you mat you need to make sure your towel hangs off the back of your mat. The Manduka is very slippery when soaked with sweat, but grippy when dry. The Yogitoes is the exact opposite, slippery when dry and grippy when wet. So you may need to put a few drops of water on your Yogitoes towel where your hands and feet go in down dog before you start your practice so you don’t slip off your mat.
I am a very sweaty 6′3″ male who does power yoga for 1.5-2 hrs 3-4 days a week. I’ve learned that I must immediately hang dry my towel in the sun or put it in the wash after a class. I was busy a couple of times after class and didn’t wash it till later in the day and my towel developed a moldy type smell that was hard to get rid of, even after repeated washing in warm water. If you don’t sweat that much you might not have that problem.
If you sweat as much as I do you could find that the yogitoes towel will become super saturated where you put your hands. Once your towel gets that wet it might move around a bit in down dog, or in lunge positions. For me that is usually toward the end of a class, but it could be a problem for you too if you sweat excessively like me. This is one of the reasons I wouldn’t give a 5 star rating.
All that said I would recommend this product if you get sweaty during yoga and are sick of using a beach towel. I purchased the Indigo because it was a less expensive color.
