Non slip shower mats

I use a waffle-weave cotton teatowel, one of several which I bought years ago but discarded as not being as good for drying dishes as the linen ones. Once it is wet it clings to the shower base and doesn't slide around. After the shower it gets wrung out and hung over the grab rail, and it is washed with the towels - having several means there is no pause while the washed one dries.. It never gets dirty-looking or mouldy.

Aren't they open-toed?

long rubber mat with suckers from Boots - after use I sling it over the rail I had put up in the shower, or on sunny days in Summer I hurl it over the washing line so no mould can form

Aldom these sliders look chic, but how do you wash between your toes?
don’t respond if you think this question is just too personal!

Here's a picture of my sliders.

Our shower has a non slip floor. No mats needed.

Very recently I bought non slip sliders to use in the shower. They were from Amazon.
Much safer, I think, than shower mats. I'm completely satisfied with mine.

I bought a rubber one from Argos or Dunelm a couple of years ago. It said it could be machine washed so I tend to throw it in the washer with towels and floor mats.

I bought this one several months ago from Amazon. It's very sturdy, and like the one tanith has, it can be folded and stood on its end to dry out. Cleans easily and it can also be cut to size if necessary. Best shower mat I've had. (sorry for the long link)

I buy the plastic ones with suckers from Dunelm or any supermarket, once they start to discolour, about 3 - 4 months, I buy a new one.

I bought one from Amazon it has suckers and I’ve had it probably 3/4 yrs so far but it’s still like new. You have to pick it up and either hang it to dry or as I do roll it and stand on its end to dry off. I spray it with the shower cleaner when I clean the shower so far it’s stayed looking like new.

Has anyone suggestions for decent shower mats? I bought two Magic mats for my husband to use in the shower but over time they have become mouldy despite being expensive and despite trying to clean them, I am ready to throw them out.
