The details
This textured, plastic bath mat has hundreds of suction cups that adhere to the bottom of your tub and shower to keep it firmly in place. It also has dozens of drainage holes that easily allow water to flow under the mat, helping to prevent stagnant water from sitting on the mat and in your tub.

If it's starting to look a little dirty, all you need to do is throw it in your washing machine and then let it air dry.
