IUGA Yoga Knee Pads Cushion Non-Slip Knee Mat for Elbows Wrist Pain in Yoga Planks Floor Exercises Portable Extra-thick Cushioning

I use it for my hips when I do Pilates. I'm a 77 year-old man and my hips tend to be very bony when I lie on my side doing a Pilates exercise. When the instructor changes position, I slipped the sun underneath and my bony hips don't bother me anymore.

EDIT: The oil goes away! And once you get that off, the mat is great. I successfully use it in hot yoga and all weight bearing activities. Highly recommend. This may allowed me to slowly transition back into bearing weight on my wrists. ORIGINAL REVIEW: The yoga pad came with an oil on it from shipment and I haven’t been able to get it off. The oil makes it slippery. If you see the white specks in last photo, that is the shimmer off that oil coating. I’m fighting it from wanting to roll up (not a big deal but reviews for others on the market claim to not want to roll back up). I have wrist pain and the last thing I need is to slip while practicing and make it worse. The foam pad mats in my gym’s weightlifting room have better grip. This mat is more in line with the crappy mats sold at TJ Maxx. Probably fine for knees but it’s a hard ‘no’ imo if you want to use this for wrists at hot yoga. I’ll come back and update if my opinion of this mat changes. I’m hoping the oil will wear off with use and if not this will turn into a gardening mat.

This little addition helps me to keep practicing even when my wrists are sore. I use it all the time if I know I’ll be doing a lot of vinyasas. I take it to every class now.

Makes knee work tolerable. I put it under my mat towel in hot yoga and it gives me good cushioning without feeling to plush and thick. My wife has a cushier pad and my knees bottom out on hers, but not on mine. Good quality.

Good to have for extra cushion. If you have knee problems, may want a thicker softer small mat.

Matches perfectly with my nonslip Iuga yoga mat and provides the perfect amount of cushion for modified planks and back bends. It’s not as wide as the mat, but it doesn’t need to be since I’m only using it for my knees. I love that it fits easily into my gym tote.

I bought this for a dance fitness practice that I do and it works really well when having to do routines on the floor for extended periods of time. I place it on top of my yoga mat and it doesn't slide at all and keeps my knees supported throughout the routines which often require doing moves repetitively.

When using on top of even a textured yoga ma primarily for knee protection, this would move too much to be effective. I tried placing under my mat, but it lost its thickness. I now use it when kneeling in garden, but not made for that and so has to be washed and dried throughly and it too thin to use effectively. I just bought a cotton yoga blanket, that is nubby and that works perfectly
