Wow do I love this bath mat!In the past 3 years I have had two very serious injuries from falling and one injury was due to slipping in the shower. After over a year of physical therapy you better believe I take every precaution, especially in the shower.Previous to this purchase, I was just using your standard size bath mat. But I never felt comfortable with it, scared to death I would step off the mat and slip and fall. So I decided enough was enough and ordered this one.It has made a tremendous difference during my shower time. Gone is the fear I will accidentally step off of it. I now can move freely in my shower and have enough mat to stand on at all times.I ordered the blue one. It has great suction and it never slips. After I take a shower I pull it up from the shower floor and hang it on a handle bar I have installed in the shower. Every few days I toss it in my washer with a couple of large bath towels so the mat has something to rub up against when it's in the machine. I use hot water and color safe bleach, then after it's washed, I take it out and hang it back in the shower til I need it again.I love this mat and I highly recommend it.

What a disappointment!I was pretty satisfied with this product for the first few weeks of owning it. I tried to hang it up at a minimum of once a week and clean it as well. I mainly bought this because it was non toxic; however, it growing mold after about a month and a half is JUST as toxic. It appears that the suction cups on the bottom create a gap in-between the mat and the tub, allowing for dark dark black colored mold to grow in-between this gap. The real disappointment/shocker was that I couldn't scrub any of it off! I seriously soaked this in bleach for an hour, came back, scrubbed it with a heavy duty scrubbing brush, and not even the slightest bit of it came off. I proceeded to try and get this nastyness off using a variety of methods, as it appeared to still be a good mat to me - however, none of my hours of research or cleaning methods made even the slightest bit of difference. It was as if someone took black food colouring and injected it into the bottom of the mat.With all that in mind, I had to throw it away as the main reason i bought it was to not have anything toxic about it and mold certainly violates that principle. Don't get me wrong, it worked VERY well the first month and a half I had it. But once the mold came (and believe me i was strenuous in my efforts to clean it) it had to go.Update: Due to the exceptional customer service that was extended to me from my comment, and that I felt the seller truly appreciated my concerns, I have decided 3 stars is more accurate; however, If you do end up buying this - clean it EVERY day!

I'm transitioning my baby to the bathtub and have been searching for a PVC-free bath mat. This surprisingly proved more difficult, as all the cute children designs are made of PVC. I gave up on finding a cute colorful mat and concentrated on 100% natural rubber options. Unfortunately, the majority of these don't have cute designs. The ones that did were way too short, leaving nearly a fourth or more of my tub exposed and posing a major slipping hazard for my baby. This mat is long and fits perfectly, providing great traction for my child when moving around.I've only recently started using this product, so I can't yet review how well it holds up over time. After each bath I rinse and hang the mat to dry to avoid any nasty buildup.

(see picture) I have this mat in my spare bathtub, which has only been used a few times in the past 5 years. The mat was not exposed to any cleaning chemicals. Starting two years ago it started showing signs of cracking. I need to discard it as it is disintegrating. The color looks bleached, faded pale in areas. I have other rubber items from many years ago and they look fine. I would venture to say this mat is not made from high quality rubber.

I thought about purchasing a bath mat at Wal-Mart because it is such a small item. Most stores carry them, but now I am glad I got it through amazon. Why? because Wal-Mart doesn't carry anything that could measure up to this product. Well made and comfortable to stand on. I love the color. Glad I ordered it. I never noticed a smell as some reviewers have posted. If there was a smell I am sure it is just the vinyl that should go away after a few uses. I needed something that would prevent me from slipping and falling in the tub because anytime soap or conditioner gets on the bottom of the tub without the mat, it becomes extremely slippery. This is perfect as there are many suction cups to grab the bottom of the tub and I no longer have the slippery tub issue. I will be purchasing a second mat for my guest bathroom for when my in-laws visit. Should this product ever need replacing, I will buy it again. The price was excellent and my thanks to amazon for offering it. Thanks for reading my review and if it was helpful to you, let me know by hitting the ‘yes’ button below my review.

I bought one of those antibacterial bath mats and the odor was unbearable. I have many allergies and this product really was awful, especially when taking a hot shower. THIS BATH MAT HAS NO ODOR! The holes in the matt drain the water well. Most falls around the house happen in the bathroom and I am 61 years old and my husband is 65. I fell once in the tub years ago and was ok, but now that I am older, I worry about broken bones. A friend of mine fell in the tub and ended up in a nursing home and rehab and now has to use a walker. This mat will certainly help us avoid that fate.

This mat feels good to the touch. It is heavy-duty, and long enough to cover at least 80% of the length of the bottom of a standard-sized tub. I did not notice any odor on first using it, and I am very sensitive to the stink of plastic that outgasses. The suction cups on the bottom of the mat hold well.All in all, I am pleased with this purchase.
