bought children bath mats only to find there is nothing on the bottom to keep mat from slipping would these keep them from slipping on a tile floor?

Would not recommend these for tile floor in bathroom. Not sure the adhesive would work well in high moisture environment.

I'm not sure it would work. The main issue I see is that it may not stick well to the back of the mat. They are inexpensive so it might be with the try.

Might depend on the floor surface, but the mat has small suction cups (each a bit over a half inch across) all over the back, one every inch or inch and a half. Stays in place, but we hang it up to dry out after use.

It depends on if it is a rough surface or smooth surface. I have marble tiles in our other bathroom, and although I haven't tested it, I expect that they would stick. Now if they are "rough-hewn", I can't promise they won't stick. They will definitely stick to the side of the tub as well, so the kids can still use the blocks, they just may not be able to stick them to the walls.

no, not at all. it is too thick and stiff. I'm very happy with these mats so far. They are great for my son to play on instead of the hardwood floor. One great thing is that I can make it bigger or smaller depending on the space just by removing or adding tiles. As far as the end pieces coming off, any brand of mats will do this when children play on them. I solved this issue by placing some gorilla tape on the bottom side at the edge. I used Gorilla brand because it is much less likely to stain the floor with residue. Cheap duct tape will stain.

I have seen such tiles used in shower areas but I think that they would be too slippery. I put them on a bathroom floor but also have rugs on the floor.

It does slip on tile, my girls start there tumbling off the mat then do the hard tricks on it which sometimes causes the mat to move. However it has not lost its thickness throughout the year of using it.

I used a rubber mesh, also used under rugs to keep them from slipping. I find this at Walmart in the kitchen section near the contact paper, or in the fabric department (in a large bolt). It makes a huge difference under the dividers, in my opinion.

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.

Interesting? I have no idea. I have mine in the bathroom which has a ceramic tile floor and mine does not slip. It has 2 round rubber circles under the from of the trashcan. Check to make sure your trashcan has these.

Totally agree with answers posted. Surface is very different from other mats and helps prevent slipping.

No but we haven't had any problems with our slipping on our tile. We use it for the sink in the bathroom.

Is this safe to use in a childs bath tub that is only used for baths currently? The bottom of the bath tub is slightly textured and I can't find anything to prevent my daughter from sliding around. Everything I have tried doesn't stick very well and or moves around which isn't very safe.

Yes they will work off carpet but not as well, I keep a few weights on the mat to keep it from moving, the bottom of the pad is smooth and can cause slipping, but better on carpet than on a smooth surface

Padding would not allow the tiles to lay on the floor correctly. I put them on my basement floor and they work great! They have a thick rubber back and stay in place.

I use these on a couch with a tile floor; I can move the couch, but with difficulty. I think they are designed to primarily keep the couch from sliding.

Not really - we took rubber drawer liner (we had for use in toolbox in shop) and made narrow strips to go under the legs and that keeps it from sliding on the tile floor. When we used it in the bathroom with carpet it was fine - but it is in the other bathroom that has a tile floor.

If they are used outside your shower, the only water that would get on your floor is that remaining on you, so yes, there would be some water on the floor under the mat.
