The bathmat I received did not do its job. The suction cups on the bottom had NO suction so the mat continually floats to the top of the water when we gave our daughter a bath. Please reconsider this item as there are many others to choose from.

The bath mat has a very nice cushioned feel to it. That is the only positive feature. The suction cups move as you move your feet and the mat bunches up.

Do not purchase this mat. Not until it arrives and you are able to read the directions wrapped around it do you learn that you must wait until water is in the tub to put in the mat, at which point it is virtually impossible to get the mat to flatten out. Think about trying to wrestle an inflatable object under water. After some pushing and shoving, I found the mat partially stuck with its little suction cups but not stuck flat; by then it was stuck too hard to get out but not stuck flat. Thus, I took my bath lying on a surface even more uncomfortable than the bare tub. The worst came when I stood up after the water ran out and found the mat actually MORE SLIPPERY than my bare tub.Griptex Comfort 17 by 36-Inch Bath Mat, Blue

This bath mat is incredibly unsafe!! Initially I was thrilled to find it, but within a day it was slipping in the tub, nearly “leveling” me! I tried adjusting it this way and that, to no avail. Finally realized it just doesn’t have enough suction cups on one end, so I cut it for safety’s sake. It STILL slips around mercilessly!! I’m very sure-footed, as is my roommate, and we have no elders or young kids at home, but I wanted to warn people to be VERY CAREFUL about purchasing this mat. Yes, this material is great for shelving….DRY shelving where feet are not landing on it……but there IS no Grip in this Griptex.

… But does not stay in place when you step into the shower. Plus, and this is the only way I can describe this, if you’ve ever had a roomate that left the sponge in the bottom of the kitchen sink and it got all slimy & gross, this is how I can describe what it feels like to step onto the mat about an hour after my husband showers and it’s cold and still damp. Like you’re stepping on that slimy gross kitchen sponge. It’s enough to make you ill. It’s the only things that I can compare it to. In addition, if you can even get past that aspect, the material squishes and bunches so much that you can feel the suction cups under your feet as though you’re standing on speedbumps. I don’t think that we’ll be keeping it long enough to find out whether it’s truly mildew resistant. All the manufacturer did was stick suction cups to the bottom of the puffy shelf liner that exists for kitchen cabinets. (the one that doesn’t let you slide the dishes/glasses into the cabinet) Funny part is, it doesn’t move at all in the cabinets, while you’re airborne in the shower. A HUGE disappointment.
