Default New bath tub

Hi,
Swapped out an aging tub with new one.
This tub is VERY slippery. What is quick and easy
anti-slip measure w/o damaging the surface?

Stick on anti-skid strips.

Install a grab bar and tie yourself to it.

A tub mat. We have one. It's padded/foamy weave material (so comfy to sit
on) and has suckers on the bottom to keep it in place. Once done, we just
peel it off and stick it to the wall to dry so it won't mildew. Can go in
the washing machine.

Those will damage the finish in time.
