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 agree... Somewhere between towel size and blanket size. It's a very nice size.

It all depends on the intended use. I bought mine for camping. I am a big guy, so I chose the beach towel size. Once I got it, it appears to be a little bigger than a beach towel. In hindsite I could have gone smaller for the sake of packing.

To me they work okay, I'm sure they work better with the "sticky" mats but compared to not having a towel or using a regular bath towel is like night and day. I perspire quite a bit in class and always had trouble keeping my feet planted regardless of what mat I used. The Yogitoes mat towel has been by far the best solution. Like everyone says dampen the towel a little bit for the best results.

I don't use a towel. The mat is fine until it gets wet with sweat, then it gets very slippery, at least for me. I have been told by a friend that this improves over time with usage, that the mat requires a 'break in' period.

A yoga mat 72 inches long should be able to fit in the bag, though I have not tried it my self.

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 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.

Mine are 31" x 20". These are gorgeous towels, I love them! (I haven't washed them yet, perhaps that accounts for the difference.)

Most yoga Mats are 68 inches long x 24 inches wide and about 1/4 inch thick. A mat of same thickness, width and 72 inches long, should fit in the bag. I haven't tried to load a mat of that size in my bag.

The Over sized Bath Towel, XXL(39.5"x 71") would probably be a good fit, depending on the size of a person. As far as the microfiber towel, I see nothing wrong with using it for the beach. It would dry someone off much quicker than a cotton towel. Hope this helps, enjoy the beach.

Get a twin sized sheet... Or a mat. It's a small company, so sometimes they're out of certain things... But I highly recommend the 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.

Your question is not so clear -- what do you mean by 'better for your feet sliding in the towel'? Do you mean the <amduka eQua Yoga Mat Towel or just an ordinary towel? However, I can only say this -- the Manduka eQua Yoga Mat Towel has been the BEST towel I have used so far -- it is great for all types of yoga, including hot yoga. The grip is great -- both for hands and feet.

I think any tri-fold towel will work. I've tried all three tri-fold towels sold at CostCo (different plys, sizes and number of towels for each type) and they all work fine. FWIW, I've spent far too much time analyzing all three towels CostCo sells and found that it generally takes TWO towels to dry my hands, no matter which one I buy, so now I buy the one that has the best price per towel.

I would say it honestly depends on what you are planning on doing with it, I ordered two of these to go camping and got the 31 x 60 and wish I had gotten something smaller because the thing is as big as a beach towel, I later order a different brand that is 18 x 23 and is perfect for camping. If you are looking for something small and packable for camping get the smallest possible but not knowing your intention I would hate to recommend anything. I can tell you that it is a great towel, super soft and super absorbant and comes in a great little stuff sack.
