"When this product arrived, I tried to air it out for several weeks (as the instructions suggested) to get rid of the rubber, tennis-ball-like smell. When weeks time outside didn't seem to take care of it, I stashed it in my closet for several months, too embarassed to use it in class. I finally used it for the first time in my class tonight, and I was slipping all over the place (not to mention the fact that it somehow *still* smells bad). My down dogs killed my shoulders because I was trying so hard just to stay in place, and my warriors were the worst ever given my unstable footing. I am thoroughly disappointed in this product; I will not be using it again. I appreciate Gaiam and hate to write a bad review, but this product really was a waste of my money."
