bathmat

Tub-side absorbent pad

A bathmat is a small rug placed on the floor beside a bathtub or shower to stand on while drying off.

It absorbs water and prevents slipping on wet tile.

Some bathmats go inside the tub itself, with suction cups underneath for grip: The rubber bathmat kept her from slipping in the shower.
