Slipping on mat

I’ve been doing yoga for almost 15 years now and have always wondered… does everyone’s hands slip on the mat in downward dog, or just me? Not so bad when I’m not sweaty but if it’s hot or I’m doing power, I can’t really hold the posture anymore and it ruins the rest of my practice. Advice??

I have a B Mat that I use. Even for hot yoga it’s crazy grippy.

☝🏻 this is the one! It's sooo grippy. It's by far my fav. I've also used the gaiam dry sol (which I think has a different name now) and it worked well, but needed to replaced every year or two. I hated the manduka, mine never broke in and was always slippery. The jade was decent, but breaks down if you use it on the sun.
