Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So, I'm first to admit I'm a disgusting sweaty mess when I exercise or work out. No hiding it. I'm the worst of anyone I know, by far. You don't even understand, man. Doesn't matter how little effort I exert, I start sweating pretty quickly (thankfully I don't have bad BO - I swear!). Needless to say the whole Bikram/Heated Yoga thing makes it 10x worse, and as such was a TERRIBLE experience for me the first time. I went prepared with a $20 mat I purchased from a random convenience store and a small face towel, and I literally had water *streaming* off of my shirt onto my mat for most of the class. I've never seen sweat hold a constant stream... like, what the hell? NOT FAIR My entire mat was engulfed in a puddle that was encroaching on my neighbor's space (oops), and I couldn't so much as plant my feet at 30' angle without slipping. Pretty embarrassing, and disgusting, and sad. The paper towels laughed at me, and were futile. Sure, everyone in a class like that class sweats a good amount, but I seriously sweat more than the next 6-7 people (AT LEAST) combined. I would've liked to pretend that this all never happened, and that I could honestly swear I would never step foot in another heated class again, but I had 9 classes remaining on my deal and actually enjoyed the class otherwise. Further, is all of the 'advanced' classes were heated, and that was what I liked the most. So, after a fair amount of amazon searching and reading, I decided on this purchase - and it is a WORLD of difference. This mat handled the deluge of sweat from a class, and kept the mat underneath it in reasonable shape. No puddles on the mat or the floor; just some minor moisture. Further, is it never got slippery, at all. If anything my grip got better as it got wetter, somehow (though it does recommend some moisture for best results). But seriously, I can't even fathom how this thing absorbed 95% of the sweat. I rang it out after the class, and out flooded enough water on the pavement to fill a bucket. The puddle was like the circumference of a mini-cooper. I'm not joking around when I say I sweat a lot. It was disgusting, but hey, no one knew about it but me this time! The thing had to of had around 10lbs of water in it. Ok, so, don't mean to gross everyone out but I just wanted to emphasize how awesome a job this towel did. I fully recommend it. Oh, and it fit my mat perfectly, and didn't move or have to get readjusted much at all. Feels nice too. Customer service is also excellent and very personal. Though, honestly everything else could've been terrible and I still would've been super happy to not have to worry about slipping, falling, and splashing the entire class with the puddle I land in. Great product.
