Yoga Mat & Sweatbands

[Libby]

I have yet to find a yoga mat that I don't slip on when I get sweaty. I just bought a Gaiam mat that claims to be nonslip but I'm slipping on it when I sweat. It feels really sticky so I thought it might work. Any suggestions?

Also, I wear sweatbands when I workout and they can get really sweaty and stinky. I wash them in really hot water and dry them in my dryer (but it takes too long to dry them) but they still seem to stink. Any suggestions on how to clean them or do you know of any lightweight sweatbands that might work better. I'm thinking that sense they are heavier bands that might be the problem.

Thanks for your input!
