Can this towel be used for sweat after Cardio or weight lifting exercises?

I use this towel 4 times a week at my "hot yoga" class (105 degress)--it is super absorbant and does not slip when wiping sweat. I love it!

No, it works better and faster if you work out. I know people who have just used it for sweating out weight and it has worked but at a very slow pace. Mostly water weight.

I wouldn't recommend I wet towel, but I use it for a wet face rag and loofas. No problem so far!

This would be an excellent choice and is exactly what I use mine for. I prefer the large towel as it gives excellent coverage the handlebars of a spin bike. If you just need to wipe sweat the medium would probably be sufficient.

Yes you can. I use it with my iPads when I go to the gym. Great for when you are working out light or heavy and you sweat like crazy. Just air dry when done, and good to go.

I lift pretty heavy for my weight and sweat profusely. They work well for all my lifting and do not get soaked during my 2 hr lifting/cardio cycle. The wrist support helps a lot for the heavier lifts. Hope this helps.

no, it a wrap so it uses your body heat to produce sweat, almost like wrapping your self in saran wrap if that helps

This towel is single use only. It is quite wet when taken out of the package. By the time you do your whole body the moisture is pretty much gone. Once the towel is dried out a bit I go over areas that are likely to streak......such as ankles and elbows. I rub these areas quite vigorously. I love this product. I never experience streaking and the color is nice. The towels are so easy to use. You will find you don't need to wet them and in fact doing so would probably dilute the tanning solution.

Not at all. It prevents chafinng. It has nothing to do with sweating or smell.

I would recommend it although I will admit that I always use a towel, so my answer is slightly biased. The reason I chose to use a towel is because it helps keep my mat clean, so I do not have to routinely clean my mat. I did solely use the mat in the beginning, and if I recall correctly I did have minor slippage without a towel. I am one who does not mind sweating but I do mind feeling the sweat during a workout. You will not incur this issue if you use a towel. I use a Manduka towel on top of the Manduka mat as it adheres well, and I just throw the towel in the washer afterward. Much easier cleanup, which is something I prefer. Hope this information helps you. I would recommend it although I will admit that I always use a towel, so my answer is slightly biased.

Yes, I use this for my hot yoga classes and it works wonderfully. I can't stand the feeling of microfiber so this alternate is ideal.

HI Marilyn, If you do not want to slip on your mat because of sweat, you might want to try the eQua towel from Manduka or the Yoguitoes Skidless towel, they are amazing and the more you sweat, the more they stay put, it's a great addition to any mat.

Depends on how sensitive you are and how much you sweat. Its about as think as a fluffy beach towel folded in half, I've bought dozens of these things over the years, this is the best one I've used overall

There are different sizes of towels. The mat towel is Lon enough to cover your entire yoga mat. The smaller towel is perfect for wiping sweat and is a little leger than a kitchen hand towel. I have both sizes and find them equally useful.

I do but when at the gym and I sweat it will wipe off. It is the main application for me.

Not really. You have to dry off excess sweat. You should be able to right back to it though.

No, I don't use it for cardio. Just for light exercise. I think you have to use it for a long time to reach cardio status.
