Why does mine not feel like a towel, it feels more like a bathmat?

It heavy I used fabric softer ONCE and it's better. It's still heavy but more absorbing now

It really doesn't feel like there is. It feels more like each side sewn together (it is reversible) and all out of cotton so it's heavy but there is no squishy in-between, if that makes sense.

I would agree with the others: it's more substantial than the typical microfiber dust cloth but it's still smooth and soft on the skin. It doesn't feel rough or thick like a typical "towel". Don't put in dryer, hang to dry.

No, but I haven't had a problem with the towel sliding or bunching up ... it's usually wet. If for some reason you're not sweating a lot in your Bikram class, you can spray the towel with water beforehand or rinse it in the washer then roll it up with your mat. I haven't needed to do this, even for the areas of the towel that stay dry. I do it sometimes because the pre-wetted towel just feels cool during class :)

To be honest with you, I haven't taken the cover off yet, although it is very simple to remove the cover for washing. I've used OdoBan spray. However, there's nothing that would indicate to me it's something besides foam. It sure feels like foam. If it's not foam, I don't know what it is!

Sometimes I don't even have to wipe it clean because I put a beach towel down lay on that and one over me, its not messy at all. But when I clean it I use a wash cloth doused in alcohol.

I find that Viva towels do not all feel the same. Some feel stiffer, some feel softer, but they all absorb grease and oil extremely well, which is why I buy them. It doesn't seem to vary due to roll size or style. The standard rolls, giant rolls and chose-a-size should not be different from each other. I have never purchased the choose-a-size in Viva, only Bounty.

None whatsoever. It feels just like wearing a watch that has a rubber watch band. Mine is on 24/7 except when I take a shower.

No, the pad feels similar to other cotton fabrics. It doesn't feel any cooler than other mattress pads.

I did not have this problem. My dish towels were quite absorbent, even though they are very thin. I also do not use fabric softener when I dry them.

The towel is very plush and absorbent, yes. I've only washed mine a few times but so far they've remained soft, plush and absorbent.

It doesn't feel sticky to me. It feels a little greasy, but only until it dries

It feels almost as a shower curtain plastic. I haven't used it yet but it looks as if the seams where it has been folded aren't going to straighten out very easily. I wasn't impressed with it at all.

Love your creativity! It will be a little tight... Maybe don't buy too plush a towel and it would work?

These towels, like you said, are lighter, thinner, dry faster, and are made from a more durable synthetic fiber. I used mine while backpacking around a dry, hot region (middle east) and found myself often using it by putting it under my hat to cover my face neck and shoulders, it saved my skin countless times, and packs very tightly. So why not replace every towel in your house? The suede is an...awkward feel against your skin. Not bad by any means, but different, it feels as though water isn't being absorbed as quickly/in the same way as say a typical towel does. Furthermore a typical towel honestly feels more 'comfortable' for whatever reason, and i'd imagine is cheaper as well. Mine didn't have the advertised anti bacterial technology, but I'd assume that is something that wash off/ wear off after a while.

your paper towel may be the problem. try using a cheap, generic brand paper towel or a clean dish towel that does not have fabric softner on it.

I had an older one that I recently replaced with the newer model. Both the new one and the older one did that, but I found that it usually meant I needed to change the pad, it wasn't damp enough any longer. I lover my newer one because it is longer, not any where near as short as my first one was.
