What makes this better than a cheaper drying mat?

I use this for my dr brown bottle parts. I can neatly place all the pieces on this and they quickly dry. I think with a drying mat, mold can become an issue since it will always be wet bc you will be constantly washing bottles. Besides, it's way cuter than a drying mat and looks good on the countertop.

Only because there is more airflow allowed which means quicker drying time and probably more sanitary since the water cannot pool up and touch any parts. Also holds parts upright without falling over. Hope that helps!

Convenience and the fact that it makes it easy to stand items upside down and that makes draining easier. It has a small footprint too to save space on the counter.

1.) Cheap drying mats look just like they sound...cheap. 2.) The bright grass honestly dresses up the countertop and provides a warmer more appealing feel. 3.) The grass actually serves a functional purpose like a dishwasher does holding bottles and other breastfeeding equipment in the optimal drying position.

The fact that its made of sturdy plastic. I do not see it breaking down and the white catch tray allows for easy dumping of the excess water that accumulates in it.

This drying rack holds 7 well stacked Dr. Browns bottles will all the parts -- so there's that. And I have the Stem that goes with it to hold pacifiers, nipples, and other small things. I'm going to be looking at this thing on my counter top for 2 years or more by the time this parenting thing is all said and done, and this is just awesome. It cleans easily, holds more than necessary, and does a stellar job while looking cute. Worth the extra buck-fifty!

It's easier to clean than the standing spin rack because you can take off the grass and clean the bottom or put it all in the dishwasher. I actually regret throwing away the spinning rack though. It help more and my breast pump membranes didn't get lost on it

I got both..., but when it dries it becomes extremely hard. I would Suggest folding it and letting it dry in that shape.

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.

That's a personal choice, honestly. I found that it took a really long time to dry when we used it on a living room chair. Couldn't sit on it until the next day, but it wasn't outright soggy - just damp for a long time.

This mat is thick enough and is easy to trim to fit as directed. It is also easy to wipe clean.We placed it as directed on the lowest rack and it works fine.Hope this helps.

I would agree with the others: it's more substantial than the typical microfiber dust cloth but it's still smooth and soft on the skin. It doesn't feel rough or thick like a typical "towel". Don't put in dryer, hang to dry.

I feel that these do better than the foam mats. I use a drying rack too, but use these for breakable glasses and when I have an overload. I did notice that some mold developed on the bottom when it was on a wet counter for awhile.

I ordered the microfiber dish mat to use under mine. I got it in Amazon as well. Works well! And you can wash the dishmat in the washer.

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.

The mat is made up of plastic bottles. I have soaked it in a tub, or have even run it in the washing machine if is not too dirty. Hang to dry, or put in a dryer for 5 minutes. Be careful it will shrink if put in the dryer. I have been using the same mat for one year and clean it weekly. It does not hold odor and is very durable.

I am very pleased with my mat. I do try to tilt my items just a bit so there is some air working during the drying process.

It's better to use according to directions for one thing it takes less time then the dryel sheets that you use to put in a bag. I prefer the woolite cleaner it does not have as strong a smell as the dryel sheets.

Not very well. You can do a little at a time. It is more efficient on dry material.

I would use the cheesecloth, it's a finer weave, thinner and will probably to a better job for you.

It absorbs some sweat, but it is not ever dripping. I think it is best to leave your mat rolled out to dry after practice with any mat.
