Why does mine not feel like a towel, it feels more like a bathmat?

It heavy I used fabric softer ONCE and it's better. It's still heavy but more absorbing now

No, this one doesn't go in water at all. However, the heat feels "moist" but it is not like a hot wet towel.

No, but I haven't had a problem with the towel sliding or bunching up ... it's usually wet. If for some reason you're not sweating a lot in your Bikram class, you can spray the towel with water beforehand or rinse it in the washer then roll it up with your mat. I haven't needed to do this, even for the areas of the towel that stay dry. I do it sometimes because the pre-wetted towel just feels cool during class :)

your paper towel may be the problem. try using a cheap, generic brand paper towel or a clean dish towel that does not have fabric softner on it.

It feels like a cushion. Also, the fitted sheet meant to fit that size tends to "buckle." I tried returning this because we didn't use it more than 2-3 times and the company doesn't accept returns either, unless its still in its package.

It's not cottony soft it feels like paper but for diaper changing it does the trick. They keep urine from soaking a changing pad.

Fabric softner can be oily/moist like lotion and may change the texture of the pads. I wash them the same way I wash my kitchen towels - liquid detergent, NO fabric softener, set the washer to do an extra rinse and into the dryer (no softener sheets). No "lotiony" feel, just clean. I hope this makes sense and you find it helpful.

It could very well be the way you are putting the towel in. Also we found our new house with sufficient electrical capacity greatly increased the output of the unit. Hope this helps.

It is a towel/blanket. Supposed to be pretty absorbant and dries quickly. That said, I've never used mine as a towel; I've only used it as a blanket that I bring with to yoga class. It is not a bathrobe--not sure why they would mention that?

It doesn't have that moisture-sucking feel of microfiber, and it's not fluffy like a towel. It feels comfortable when you use it, like durable cotton clothing. I have one that's been used about 500 times over 5 years, and run though the washer and dryer every time. It's still perfectly usable, although the border stitching is starting to look a little ragged.

It feels like a paper fiber rather than plastic.Even the Velcro attachments feel like the same paper fiber.

The cover feels like woven fabric of a heavy weight. I'm guessing the treatment is against stains but you cannot see or feel anything. Sort of like Scotchgard, I imagine.

It really doesn't feel like there is. It feels more like each side sewn together (it is reversible) and all out of cotton so it's heavy but there is no squishy in-between, if that makes sense.

I did not have this problem. My dish towels were quite absorbent, even though they are very thin. I also do not use fabric softener when I dry them.

There are suction cups which look like suction cups. The mat is fine but it is smaller (shorter) than most bath mats. I wasn't aware of that when I bought it but kept it anyway.

I agree with the other responses. It is loose and I considered fixing it but it has not posed an issue. I lay a folded towel in mine and it covers it up anyway.

it's a towel. I am not sure why the description says bathroom. I have two of them and they are fabulous, they have great water obsorption.
