I would suggest washing your mat with soap and water in a bathtub and seeing if that helps before buying a new mat. Sometimes new mats have a coating on them that needs to get either worn off or washed off before they get as sticky as possible.
Also, take a look at the yoga mat threads listed in The Yoga Mats and Props Reference Thread for suggestions. Christina |

the search for sticky!
I think the reason it's hard to find a definitive answer is that there doesn't really seem to be a consensus - experience has varied widely. The thread Christina referenced is terrific and you'll see how variable the experiences have been!
I'm embarrassed to say I bought yet another mat last month (bringing my total to six ) in search of optimal stickiness and stability. Thus far, my stickiest mat is still my old Tapas, but that might just be due to its age - it's almost 9 years old. But the one I just bought, the deluxe mat from BodyMind workouts is quite decently sticky for a mat that hasn't really been broken in. I am optimistic it will do the trick for real sweatiness. Dawn, huh? I have some by my kitchen sink - I'll give it a try!
