This little bath mat saved my life. I have neuropathy in my feet, and the mat keeps me from slipping in the shower, which is easy to do in my condition. I also washed in on the gentle cycle in my washing machine, and it came out unscathed. Mold does tend to grow underneath it, so it’s a good idea to flip it over to dry periodically, which is probably true of all bath mats like this.  Otherwise, quite pleased with this product.
