Netizen experience: Where is the yoga mat good to use?

For friends who practice yoga, when practicing yoga every day, the skin and yoga mat are in the most intimate contact almost all the time. When you practice yoga, sometimes you put your feet on the yoga mat, sometimes you sit on the mat, sometimes you have to lie on the mat, and sometimes you even have to have your face in close contact with the mat. In addition, your hard-working sweat still falls on the mat from time to time. At this time, are you still using the yoga mat in the yoga studio? Although all yoga studios claim to have regular cleaning and disinfection, their hygiene is still worrying compared to their own special yoga mats. Who knows if the cushion you are lying on now had a pair of Hong Kong feet on it a few hours ago? Therefore, for yoga enthusiasts, a yoga mat is one of the indispensable equipment for every practitioner.

But where can I buy a yoga mat? Where can I buy a yoga mat? To this end, Xiaobian collected the experiences of three yoga netizens around him in purchasing yoga mats in different places and their experiences in using yoga mats, hoping to help friends who need to buy yoga mats:

1. Netizen: Xiaoli's

Place of purchase of yoga mat: supermarket

Price: 40.00 yuan

Material: PVC

Thickness: 4mm

Buying experience: I walked around the supermarket before I found the yoga mat. There were very few choices, only 2- 3 types. There was a special sale on a yoga mat, so I bought it. When I bought it, I thought it was quite cheap, so I was very happy and didn't think too much.

Usage experience: I went home and opened it and found that the mat was thin, the foam on the mat was thin, and there was a strong smell. After using it several times, the smell of the mat was still strong. When placing it on the ground to practice, the mat is not very flat and a little curled, and it is a little slippery when practicing.

2. Netizen: Chunxiang

Place of purchase of yoga mat: professional sporting goods store

Price: 120 yuan

Material: pvc

Thickness: 8mm

Purchasing experience: I am a yoga enthusiast. I did some homework before buying a yoga mat and found that the materials and prices of yoga mats on the Internet varied greatly, so I chose to go to a professional sporting goods store to buy them, which could facilitate physical observation and comparison. When I came to the store, I found that there were many types of yoga mats, with various materials and thicknesses. The most convenient thing was that the product label of each yoga mat marked the stage of yoga practitioners it was suitable for. The fly in the ointment is that the colors and patterns of yoga mats are not as many as those on the Internet. In the end, I chose a starter suit that suits me. In addition to the yoga mat, there are also 2 yoga bricks and a yoga exercise belt.

Experience of using: Open the mat at home and lay it on the ground. It feels very close to the ground and is basically flattened. The density of the mat is very uniform. When you take off your shoes and step on it, it has good elasticity and does not slip. When you open the cushion for the first time, you have to be close to the cushion to smell it. After using it for a while, the smell is basically gone. The fly in the ointment is that it is a little heavy when rolled up and is inconvenient to take out the door.

3. Netizen: linda

Buy yoga mat: online store

Price: 188.00 yuan (including postage of 8.00 yuan)

Material: TPE

Thickness: 6mm

Purchasing experience: I am an otaku, so for my health, I chose yoga, a sport that can continue to be otaku. Naturally, I also chose to buy yoga mats online. I went to some shopping websites and searched for yoga mats. There were many types of yoga mats, except for materials, thicknesses, colors and brands. After looking at the precautions for purchasing yoga mats and comparing the comments of various netizens on different brands of yoga mats, I chose a style that everyone recommended and was quite satisfied with. Finally, after comparing the prices, I placed a reservation at a reputable online store. A week later, I received the yoga mat I ordered.

Experience of use: The first feeling I received was that it was very light. I thought it would not be particularly thin. I opened it and found that it was okay. I specially took a ruler to measure the thickness, and it was 6mm between 5mm and 6 mm. Unfold the cushion and feel comfortable to the touch. It has good resilience when you step on it, and basically has no peculiar smell. It is said that this kind of mat has no harmful substances and can be degradable and environmentally friendly.

Editor's comment: In terms of the price, the yoga mat Xiaoli bought in the supermarket is the cheapest, but according to her report, the quality and use effect are relatively poor. Although the yoga mat purchased by Chunxiang at a professional sports goods store is more expensive than Xiaoli's, its quality and usage are better than Xiaoli's, and it is equipped with other auxiliary supplies needed for beginners in yoga. The yoga mat purchased by netizen linda seems to be the most expensive on the surface, but in fact it has a better price for money because the yoga mat uses an environmentally friendly material called TPE. TPE is currently the best environmentally friendly material. TPE pads are light, good anti-slip properties, no harmful substances, truly odorless, degradable and environmentally friendly, easy to clean, and long service life, but the price is relatively high; PVC materials are currently more commonly used. The Chinese chemical name is polyvinyl chloride. They are very commonly used in the manufacturing of bags, wires and daily necessities. The new PVC material has no smell and is not harmless to the human body. The harmful ones are only made of secondary materials (recycled materials). Because it is relatively cheap, it is popular among beginners.
