Customer Reviews of Bathtub Bubble Mat Large White 35" X 15"
Customer Review: It's all about the suction...
Summary: 5 Stars
Everybody has fears...heights, snakes, spiders, etc. One of mine is that I'll slip in the tub and seriously fubar myself and have to lie there in my nekkidness until help arrives...you see, my current situation involves using a shower/bathtub combo. When it was new, the tub had safety strips on the bottom, ones that allowed for the user to stand in relative, non-slip safety while showering (I rarely take baths...something about sitting in a pool of my own filth seems unappealing). After some twenty odd years, the strips have since worn away, and I've resorted to using bath mats to keep my shower from turning into a slip and slide. The last one I had was purchased at a local drug store for the paltry sum of about six bucks, and seemed sufficient until I noticed it had a tendency to slide when shifting my body weight (I like to move around to get all my areas clean). The problem was not a result of having too few suction cups, but the fact that said cups were just too small (about the size of a dime), and spread too far apart. It wasn't bad (better than nothing), but the threat of falling was definitely apparent, and I heard somewhere that a majority of accidents do happen in the home, so I decided to find something better not desiring to become a bathroom injury statistic (although if I did, I probably could have sued the manufacturer for some serious coin, but I'm not litigious by nature)...and find something better I did...
Now, I wasn't looking to spend no $18 (with shipping, it was about $23) on a bath mat, but since you only live once, I figured `What the heck?'. The first thing I noticed was the size of the mat. When they say `large', they weren't kidding (bigger is definitely better in terms of bath mats). The mat covers nearly three quarters the length of the tub floor, and is wide enough to cover nearly the entire width of the tub floor. The suction cups are numerous (it says hundreds, but I have yet to count), are about the size of half dollars, and anchoring the mat firmly to the tub surface. Another nice feature is the side that faces up has not only textured areas for safe footing, but smooth bumps (opposite the suction cups on the flipside) that offer a something akin to a foot massage, but don't interfere with the traction I so much desired (and needed). Also, given the length, the one end even has a molded area on one end that allows for placement around the drain, rather than over it (the picture doesn't display this, so I don't think it's an actual photograph of what I purchased). Having just recently received the mat, I've used it twice, and there has been no slippage. The thing stays where it's put, and it sits relatively flush to the surface, allowing for sudsy water to run down to the drain (this wasn't the case with my previous mat, as the suds would build up on the end opposite of the drain). It's also heavier than my previous mat, giving a sense of durability of something that will last for a while through proper care (it's wise to pull the mat up often and flip it, allowing it to air dry, preventing the development of nasty fungi...if you do find some growth, spray it with a little bleach in a well ventilated area, let sit for a few minutes, and rinse thoroughly).
If you're looking for the Cadillac of bath mats, this is it...in the grand scheme of things bath mats rate comparatively low, but when you're being transported to the hospital soaking wet and nekkid with a broken hip and a concussion on the noggin, you'll quickly discover an $18 bat mat is infinitely cheaper than a visit to the emergency room.
