Shower and bath mat

A shower and bath mat, comprising:

• a mat member being generally rectangular and having upper and lower surfaces, a pair of short sides, a pair of long sides and a plurality of corners, said lower surface of said mat member being generally flat, said short sides being substantially perpendicular to said long sides, wherein said corners of said mat member are rounded;
• wherein said short sides of said mat member define a mat length therebetween;
• wherein said long sides of said mat member define a mat width therebetween, wherein said mat width is less said mat length and greater than 1/2 of said mat length;
• wherein said upper and lower surfaces of said mat member define a mat thickness therebetween, wherein said mat thickness is about 1/16 inch;
• said upper surface of said mat member having a plurality of generally rounded nodules extending therefrom;
• wherein said nodules each have a top and a root, said root being positioned adjacent said upper surface, wherein said top of said nodules and said upper surface of said mat member define a nodule height therebetween, wherein said nodule height is less than about 3/16 inch, wherein said root of said nodule has a diameter, wherein said diameter of said nodule is less than about 1/2 inch;
• said nodules being spaced apart and being arranged in a plurality of columns and rows, wherein said columns of said nodules are extended between said short sides of said mat member, wherein said columns of nodules are generally parallel to said long sides of said mat member, wherein said rows of said nodules are extended between said long sides of said mat member, wherein said rows of nodules are generally parallel to said short sides of said mat member and substantially perpendicular to said columns of said nodules;
• said mat member having a plurality of generally cylindrical apertures extending therethrough between said upper and lower surfaces of said mat member, wherein each said aperture has a diameter, wherein said diameter of said aperture is about 1/32 inch;
• said apertures being spaced apart and being arranged in a plurality of columns and rows, wherein said columns of said apertures are extended between said short sides of said mat member, wherein said columns of apertures are generally parallel to said long sides of said mat member, wherein said rows of said apertures are extended between said long sides of said mat member, wherein said rows of apertures are generally parallel to said short sides of said mat member and substantially perpendicular to said columns of said apertures;
• wherein said columns of apertures are alternately arranged with said columns of said nodules between said long sides of said mat member, wherein said rows of apertures are alternately arranged with said row of said nodules between said short sides of said mat member;
• and
• a plurality of suction cups, each corner of said mat member having a said suction cup located theretowards, each of said suction cups having a rounded upper portion, a lower rim, and a concavity directed from said upper portion of said suction cup towards said lower rim portion of said suction cup, said upper portion of said suction cup being extended from said upper surface of said mat member, said lower rim being extended from said lower surface of said mat member, wherein each said lower rim of said suction cups has a diameter, wherein said diameter of said lower rim is less than about 2 inches.
