Kikkerland Whale Natural Rubber High Grip Suction Cup Bath Mat

You'd think that the whale is printed on the mat, right?Well after four months of use, a top layer (who knew?) consisting of the blue and the white whale started to peel away from the mat.It finally came off entirely today.So now we just have a plain old beige bathmat (the underneath portion) and a whale in the trash.Looks nice at first, but very poor quality.

This is a great bath mat. I searched quite a bit and read a lot of reviews before finding this mat.It is just the right size,not too big, not too small and covers most of the central part of the tub.It stays put even though we have a slight texture on the bottom of our tub which is something that other reviewers complained about.It is natural rubber which I love, and has a soft fabric-like front which is very nice and comfortable for the kids....and the design is adorable!I bought it for my nine month old to keep him from slipping and my 6 year old loves it too!I was worried that the material(not exactly sure what it is) would not dry fast enough and would mildew but I pull it out each night and hang it and it dries right away and after a month and a half it shows no signs of mold or odor even though we have had a very humid summer.

Update-

A year and a half later, this product is showing signs of wear and so while originally I gave it 5 stars I am downgrading it to 4. The fabric coating has started to peel away from the edges, quite a bit on one side.I have had to soak it in a bleach solution a couple times in order to give it a good deep clean as eventually mildew does build up around the underside of the suction cups, so perhaps that is why the fabric is coming apart.I'm not too upset as it is still a great product.I have not really had any major mildew issues on the fabric, and the buildup on the suction cups it totally normal with a product that is used in water.Bottom line, this bathmat is still so much nicer than most, and is soft for a young child to sit on, and so I would still recommend it and would even consider buying another one.Some things are just not meant to last forever, and this may be one of them.

This is such a cute bath mat, it's a shame it is such a poor quality product.

We hung it out to dry after every single use and it still became moldy and black around the raised cups.

After about 4 or 5 months the edges of the top started to peel off and now the entire whale has come off. It looks horrible.

I contacted Kikkerland and their customer service was rude and wouldn't replace the item. I would strongly urge you to steer clear of this product.

I felt thatthis was an adorable bath mat.I have had it for less than 5 months, and already mold has grown quickly on the top of the mat.I have used several cleaning products to remove the mold, with no such luck.I advise looking for a better quality mat, unlike this cutie. I will give this product two stars due to the suction on the bottom of the mat was excellent, and size was perfect.

my husband and i went through probably 5 different mats before finding this one.All of the clear-plastic appearing mats looked fine, but were actually very slippery (including the elmo mat).And I don't really mind the "plastic smell" that people complain about, because it goes away -for me that was not a reason to not like the bathmat.My 1.5 year old daughter kept slipping and falling in the bath.

Pros:completely non-slip, cute, matches with whale faucet guard and skip hop aqua-colored bath products

Cons:1.small -i have a regular sized bathtub, so I cut it in half to make it spread out over the entire length.2.discolors -after a few months of toddler baths, the white whale becomes an ivory/brownish whale.But because safety is my top priority, I have decided just to purchase a new one every so often.

After reading tons of reviews, it appears there is no perfect bathmat...
