As an elderly person, I love this mat. I was so tired of buying mats for my shower and I would still slip on them. Not this mat, I couldn't get over it wasn't slipping around like the other mats. It feels nice on the feet. Because I can't stoop over anymore, I wring my washcloth out and use that soap to wash the bottom of my feet. The mat feels good on the bottom of my feet plus it does a job I can't do anymore. I loved it so much I bought a mat for my son's new house. Would buy again
