IUGA Yoga Towel for Hot Yoga Non Slip Extra Thick Yoga Mat Towel + Hand Towel 2in1 Set with Corner Pockets Super Absorbent and Quick Dry Hot Yoga Towel

These IUGA yoga towels are by far the best of those I’ve tried. I generally do hot yoga 2-3x a week and sweat like a wild animal in mating season, so I put towels to the test. I primarily use a rubber mat but have used them on foam and they did fine. Pros: -Nonslip: they stay put the best of any yoga towel I’ve used. I do not bother putting the corners around the mat corners, and it stays just fine. I never notice the extra fabric layer of the corner holders. -Durability: I’ve been using them weekly for years and have not seen any sign wear and tear. -Size: I’m a 5’11 190lb guy. I’m not Goliath, but having a slightly bigger mat helps me not go off the ends. The larger size option is SO NICE to have and fits my large rubber Jade mat great. -Thickness: They are thin enough to be portable but thick enough to do their job. I’ve found other ultrathin microfiber towels to move around a lot. -Absorbency/Function: They absorb my (bountiful) sweat output, still stay put and don’t get immediately weird or gross. They don’t slide or cling. When I lift the towel after, there is no sweat on my mat. -Smell: They don’t smell weird from being sweat on like some fibers. Unless you let them sit for days, at which point anything is going to smell. Cons: -Logo Emblem: The circular IUGA rubber (or whatever) embedded logo is either right where your head rests during shavasana (and you can feel it), or alternatively, if you put it forward, it is where your forehead goes for some poses. I put it forward and its not a big deal, but it’s the only functional drawback to the mat. -Limited color options - as a guy I’m basically buying Blue or Grey. Not a big deal to me. Overall, yes stop looking around and get these. Also if you’re ever considering trying a Lululemon yoga towel, don’t. Lululemon microfiber towels are useless overpriced garbage. Just throw your money into the closest body of water instead.

This towel combo turned out to be exactly what I needed. The mat sized towel is perfect for hot yoga. I wet each end before class to jump-start the grippy dampness, and as the original water evaporates my sweat does a great job of continuing to keep it sticky. The towel has a nice, high quality weight and rolls up quite compactly. I've washed mine probably four times and the stitching is holding strong. The corner pockets keep the towel snugly in place, and I haven't experienced any bunching or sliding while practicing. I find the little spray bottle to be kind of useless for wetting the towel as they suggest, since it doesn't put out enough water to really get the towel damp enough to be grippy for any length of time in a hot room. However, I ended up using the bottle for a mixture of water and essential oils as a quick after practice spritzer for my mat and just putting the ends of my towel under a faucet and ringing them out to dampen. I've been air-drying the mat sized towel after washing just to be safe, and it dries pretty quickly when draped over a banister after a wash. I've thrown the hand/face towel in the dryer, though, and it doesn't seem to have shrunk at all. If you're looking for the perfect added grip for hot yoga (I haven't used the towel in ambient temperature practice as my mat has a pretty decent grip on its own, but I'm sure the towel would work for slippery/ damaged mats as well), this is it! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, Iuga!

I needed a towel that stays put, soaks up a good amount of sweat, and covers my whole yoga mat. This product delivered! I love the corner pockets which keeps the towel in place. There's a little overhang of the towel on the sides so it covers the mat completely. It absorbs well and isn't slick when doing poses. The only downside was a strong smell taking it out of the package but a good washing took care of that. Overall the quality is great. I would definitely recommend if doing hot yoga!

I waited after several yoga sessions to review but this towel is LEGIT! I sweat a lot and first used it on a Gaiam mat. It does not fit the Gaiam mat well, but it did prevent any slippage and absorbed everything! So very necessary if you're a lover of hot yoga and want to focus on practicing as opposed to slipping and falling all over the mat. I recently purchased an Iuga mat to test out a better fit and its WONDERFUL!! Fits like a glove and works even better now. I love the thing honestly. I also feel amazing knowing that it's only my own sweat on the towel. I tried to use a studio provided towel and it sucked. No pocket corners and the towel had obviously been washed one two many times and had that sour sweat smell. This saves me from all of that! Will definitely be purchasing more !

My husband bought a set, then I bought a set, then our kid asked for a set. We are all happy with the quality of the fabric, the durability and the ease of packing (very lightweight). The towel fits nicely over my mat. The towel's corner pockets hold it neatly in place. It absorbs the sweat and foot odor that used to plague our mats. Now, we have fresh smelling mats for every class. It will be interesting to see how much static is generated by the fabric in winter. (The washing instructions say not to use fabric softener.) The location of the logo is a little annoying. But that's the only thing that isn't great about this towel set.

Let me preface this by explaining to you the disgustingly obscene amounts of sweat that pour from me during a hot yoga class. The first time I went into a hot yoga class, I didn't know it was a heated class. All I had with me was a hand towel and my regular rubber mat. I waterlogged my rubber mat. There was a legitimate puddle surrounding my mat. I was terrified that the teacher was going to walk by, and thanks to how dark the room was, she wouldn't see the 3 gallons of sweat across the floor, slip, take out another practitioner, and create a domino effect throughout the entire room. All because of my sweaty disgusting self. That was 4 years ago. I have now become quite efficient at perspiration management with the use of a yoga towel, a full size bath towel, and a hand towel. All three are completely soaked by the end of class, but no dangers to other yogi's. However, I always struggled with one aspect. The yoga towel bunching up and moving around on my mat. My last attempt at a solution included sewing velcro onto the four corners... It didn't work out too well. But THIS towel, is phenomenal. The corner pockets are BRILLIANT, but the towel grips to the mat so well, you might not even need the corner pockets. Stays perfectly in place, and even if it does slip the tiniest bit, as soon as you change positions it corrects itself. The small towel is perfect for quickly wiping down my head and neck. They both are super absorbent. Mind you, I still also soak a bath towel in class. If you're a sweaty yogi like me, this towel has you covered.

Works as expected. Very useful for hot yoga. I don’t need to use the sprayer, unless I’m doing a regular yoga practice in a dry climate. It is a thin material and not super absorbent so I put an extra towel underneath, but it is surprisingly absorbent for its thickness.

Towel fits perfectly on my Manduka PRO yoga mat. The corners help keep the towel on and for once I wasn't slipping and sliding during class. Good price for towel and hand towel. Highly recommend!

Keeps me from slipping during hot yoga
