What size mat towel do I need? I have 68 inch yoga mat. Do you use the 68 or the 72 inch mat towel?

68 inch. You want it to fit right on top of your mat. It's like getting a queen size fitted sheet for your queen size mattress. If you got a king size fitted sheet, it would still fit but there'd be too much slack.

I suspect that they call it a sport towel as well as a yoga towel so the customer base is larger than just yoga practitioners! However, this towel does cover my whole yoga mat.

I use hand towels (from Target, 3 to a pack). They are perfect. Had bought some really thick towels that did not work at all.

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.

Hi Greg,Happy To HelpWhat I do is cut up a 12" x 24" piece of a mat and use it where ever I feel I need more padding especially that most yoga studios have hard wood floors.If you want to e mail me your full name and address I'd be happy to help you and and send you one. I don't sell them I just give them to my customers that may need a bit more protection.This enables you to keep it next to you and only use it when needed. I have boney knees so I tend to use it for kneeling poses.Let me know.My direct e mail is dennis at auroraeyoga.comHave a great Night.NamasteDennis InguiCEO/FounderAurorae Hi Greg,Happy To HelpWhat I do is cut up a 12" x 24" piece of a mat and use it where ever I feel I need more padding especially that most yoga studios have hard wood floors.If you want to e mail me your full name and address I'd be happy to help you and and send you one.

Definitely! I use just a little bit of water to wet the towel on my mat before I start my practice. If not you tend to slide just a bit until you start to sweat. Also, don't wash the towel with fabric softener. I seriously love this towel and will be buying another one soon.

I don't know of any sizing guides and whatever feels comfortable to you is the right size. If you use long disposable pads then I would suggest pads that are 9 inches or longer. If you like regular length then around 7 inches should be good. I think that using cloth pads is a trial and error process and you have to experiment to see what works the best for you. I wouldn't suggest buying a lot of products from the same company until you know for sure that they are the right ones for you! :)

It depends on the activities the person does! I do yoga and travel so the beach size is perfect for me and when it folds is very small. I guess you could go one size smaller which will be a bathroom towel. Hope this helps.

Yoga is the only thing I haven't used this towel for.... yet... but I would, and know that the comfort and versatility of it will be useful to you. This towel has replaced many things for me; I can use it for just about anything. Good luck to you!

Hello,I didn't get the long mat because they only had the one size in the color i wanted. I'm 5/9 and my mat is 67 inches long, so its a great size for me, it's about 10 inches longer then my height.

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.

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.

Hi Marilyn G. I carry a small towel. I perspire in my Yoga workouts. If there is a little moisture, I do not slip; but with certain postures, I will take the precaution and use a towel. Hate to get a disabling injury and not having to practice yoga routinely, since I have been steadily losing weight. I use a towel, because the Yoga mat I bought came with a carrying bag to accommodate towels, etc.

Yes-small towel. You could use the mat but I think it would be a little bulky. This mat is worth it to bring a little towel. Best mat ever

I'd invest in a towel mat to lay on top of your mat. Manduka is great, but I slip during class - I get very sweaty - and if I've forgotten my towel, it's not a fun experience.

Absolutely! Great question. I think the Manduka mat towel works just as well if not better with my Zenergy brand mat than a Manduka-brand mat. Hope this helps & Good Luck!
