Yeah, people don't realize you can add non-slip materials to the bottom to minimize the risk.

Ugh, if only that worked for longer than like a month.
Eventually all these materials you can throw under throw rugs to make them stickier end up failing. Catastrophically.
Make sure to get a throw rug that has the non-slip feature sewn in. Make sure it’s nice and heavy too and never put it in the dryer (it’ll ruin the non-slip part). You should probably air dry throw rugs anyway, actually 🤷
