After you receive this, open it up, and lay it out flat on a deck, patio, or grass outside on a sunny day. That will eliminate the "new" smell from it after about an hour. Then, it's absolutely perfect. I don't find it to be too thin at all. It's easy to roll up and carry. If it were thicker, it would be cumbersome and awkward to roll and carry. It's a very bright pink, and I received a lot of compliments on it the first time I brought it to Yoga class. I think it's just right!

I get a lot of complements on the design. Color is pretty much as pictured. A very bright pink. It's not as thick as some other mats, but it's good for the price. I've been using it for about four months now and no issues.

I attend yoga classes occasionally and I'm not super great at it, but this mat meets my needs. I love the color and print. It is also a great length for me (I'm a 5'5" average weight female). My hands slide a little on it but its not a big problem.

This yoga mat is pretty much perfect! I wish it would have mentioned how thick it was, but that's okay. I LOVE the design & color!
Its not too sticky, so i was slipping just a little bit while i was using it. Its pretty awesome tho! =P
-Hails.

This mat was so slippery that downward dog was pretty much impossible. It is thin and to be honest, not worth the money!!

I was so excited to get this mat, but very disappointed when it arrived. It was so thin and cheap and SLIPPERY. I do power yoga and there is no way this mat will work for that class. I have only used it once and thought I was on a slip and slide the entire class. Now I need to find a new one. Do not waste your money.

I bought this yoga mat because I was tired of the same old boring blue one I'd had for years. I love that to see its pretty design every time I roll it for yoga class. It is a little thinner than I had hoped for, but it still works fine. The first couple of times I used it, my feet slipped as the surface was a little slick, but now it is fine. I also purchased the matching bag, and I love them both.

This particular mat did not mention how thick it is. It gives the dimensions of it rolled up, I guess, which is probably some indication, but it made no sense to me at the time of purchase. I am disappointed at how thin the mat is. I have not yet taken it out of its wrapping, but will probably not return it because with shipping charges it is barely worth it. I have been doing yoga for many years and am retiring a mat I have had for five or six years. It is pretty thick and I can't imagine this one will be satisfactory. I can't recommend it. I will update this review after I use it, if I use it.

This mat is very pretty, just like the picture. It provides amazing traction on hard surfaces, but it is incredibly thin. The packaging says the thickness is 3mm (.12 inches); I prefer more cushioning than this mat provides. I am still happy with my purchase as I am often slipping on my hardwood floor when performing yoga/pilates, and this mat is the perfect surface to work on.

I bought this yoga mat one year ago. It was a little slippery at first, but got better with use. The mat is thin but not a big deal unless you are new and do a lot of modified poses. I used it for 6 weeks straight almost every day. It was definitely looking worn out after those 6 weeks. Some pink pieces were coming off. So I ordered a different brand mat. I dont remember the brand, but it faded blue to green, kind of like an ocean. This mat was worse than the pink one(it was falling a part the first day). The brand i got after this one, that costed more. Guess what! its too slippery(Aurorae brand) . I am back to using this dragonfly print mat because it is still in Ok condition and won't kill me the minute I jump into plank.
