Are these just as effective as a non-slip mat? I'm concerned they will be slightly more slick.

I think they're better, but your milage may vary. The surface of them is pebbled and sort of rough, so if your foot is right on one, you're not likely to slip, versus bathmats that often do not stick properly to the tub, and slip right out from under you. (Also, bath mats are more likely to get moldy than these will.) Like other people have mentioned, you're going to want to get at least three packs for a full size tub, because there's only five to a pack, and the lack of coverage between can be /really/ slippery, if you step there without expecting it.

I would say they're a little more slick than a full mat. I've also had problems that some came off. I bought 3 different sets. My granddaughter Loves them, but she can still slip between the decals

I got them to replace a supposedly non-slip mat. The mat would slip if I did not get all the little suction cups down tight. Since that meant leaning over the edge of the tub to press it down, and sometimes losing my balance in the process, I decided on these little guys. They are not quite as rough as the mat was, but they are rough enough that I don't slip on them.

A mat would cover more so would be safer. These stickers have the slip proof material, but wont be as effective since there are only five.

Nope - both have the same "feel" texture to them so I would imagine that they are made from the same material - so both would be equally slippery.

The mats are usually fine. They do slip a little when I am working faster than I should be working, but most of the time, they are fine and they don't slip. I really like this board option with the mats.

I have a slippery table also and these place mats work well at staying in place. I have had them for a while and out of the many types of mats that I have used I like these the best.

Totally! I use the eQua and the yoguitoes mat towels, both are very good and they will keep you from sliding, I preffer the eQua one with my manduka mat.

My two mats hold well, but then they are against the toe-kick under the counter on one side which helps keep them in place. I have never had any problem with them sliding either way, and I have porcelain tile floors.

Very light grit at best. They help with slipping but are otherwise not that noticeable. I hope this helps.

I have not yet had any problems with the mat sliding around while using it.

yes...sweat will always make something slippery, plus it feels better to have sweat wiped away, even though the mat is very nice...

Yes, I would consider it non-slip. Certainly helps with your grip on the M8.

I haven't had any problems with slipping. It has a rubbery feel to it, not a firm plastic feel like a cutting mat. I use it for rolling stuff out, not for cutting on. It is fairly thick but very pliable.

Hey Darlene! I'll be glad to answer. The strips are slightly rough which in itself discourages movement. I use them on a silicon mat which helps keep them in place as well. I would also recommend a long rolling pin, it really helps when working with these. Also, consider getting 2 sets as that way you can make a box shape that allows you to roll in both directions rather than just one. Hope this helps

No skid bottom does provide more friction than a smooth one. I wont say it is non slip.

I haven't noticed them being slippery, the probably do some but I have been very happy with them for the price.

This hasn't been a problem for any of the users in our house, and if anything I'd think slipping would be more of an issue on bare floors. We haven't used it on anything but carpet, though, so I know it's fine there.

The bottom is textured, but I do think you would slip wearing these, I tried it against my travertine and it was slippery, maybe not so much on a mat.

No, they do slide around for me. As long as I am just walking and not dancing or goofing around, they seem to stay in place ok.
