Late to the party but I've decided to do away with carrying around my plastic Smart Water bottle that I refill 5 times a day. What are y'all using? I keep water with me all the time and whatever I get needs to be at least 23 ounces. Thank you.

Hydro Flask - I have multiple different styles I use for different beverages and purposes. I love them all.

DD asked for a Simple Modern for Christmas. She really likes it. Says it keeps the water cold for a long time. I got it from Target but you can order them straight from their website.

I have a Swell that keeps my water cold for a really long time, but I wish it had a straw lid. Right before Christmas I saw a Facebook ad that they have straw lids now, but dh said s/h was a lot......

I have a simple modern I use at home, as it has a nice straw. At work I use a Takeya with a spout/lid cover. My ice stays frozen all day. The big trends are the Yeti and hydro flask.

I’m a convert to Yeti, thanks to elaine. They don’t sweat on the outside so aren’t slippery and don’t leave water rings on every surface. Love the chug cap too.

We did a side by side test with the water bottles they sell at Costco (can't remember the name) and my Hydroflask. Ice water in both, 24 hours on the kitchen counter. The Costco bottle was one degree colder than the Hydroflask and about half the price.

I love my various Hydro Flasks. That would be my vote.

Simple modern. I have multiple hydro flasks and the simple modern outperforms them! Same amount of water and idea in each and the simple modern still had ice the next day. My husband has an rtic that is amazing too. Hydro flasks are overpriced IMO. I’ve never used a yeti but I hear good things.

Love my Tervis Stainless Steel Tumbler ! No sweating and the ice in my tumbler is solid for 24 hours. Unbelievable ! I love that they have soooo many designs. I can’t having a boring solid color. LOL

I thought Yeti was way too expensive and went with cheaper options. Got a 20 oz. Yeti tumbler for Christmas and now I don’t know how I lived without it. Well worth it - doesn’t sweat, love the dark green color and keeps my drink cold for hours and hours.

I bought a two pack of thermoflask tumblers from Costco a while ago, love them. I think it was $24.99 for two. Keeps ice cold overnight, no sweating and it comes with two lids, one with a straw and one without.

I generally use a bubba envy cup at home and in my car. But I prefer non-straw bottles for games and if I need to carry it in a bag. The straws always seem to get lost or are hard to clean. However, I’m on the hunt for a good straw bottle because it is easier to drink from a straw with a mask on.
I almost got a simple modern summit bottle yesterday at target but wanted to read reviews. It didn’t seem as thick as most and I was worried it wouldn’t stay cold as long or would get dinged up. It was pretty, though.

I take my Yeti full of coffee to work in the morning, and fill it with ice water when I finish the coffee. If I forget it on my desk, there is usually still some ice in there the next morning. It's worth getting the magnetic slider lid so you can close it up and not spill.

I have two of these with both a straw or chug option in the same bottle. I have had just about every brand mentioned here as I am always looking for the perfect one. The Owals is absolute e best of the bunch.

We have Tahoe Trails from Amazon. They have way outlived our Yetis and DD Hydro flask, for a fraction of the price. DH spent quite a bit a time walking jobs on construction sites in the Vegas sun this summer, and came home with ice left in his bottle everyday. My DD had a 5 month old Hydro flask that stopped working. They wanted her to pay the return postage and the cheapest was $21.

Owala! The FreeSip is truly my favorite bottle ever. Prior to owning one, I loved my Yeti and Tervis tumblers. Once covid hit, I became quite finicky over my drink being exposed at our “safe drink station” at work. It’s simply a yellow plastic bin where everyone keeps their drink at the nurse’s station. I absolutely must drink from a straw (GI-related reasons) and the FreeSip allows me to have the straw feature while also keeping the spout covered when not in use. Not a straw person? That’s okay, the spout has a straw feature AND the ability to sip from it, too! It also keeps ice until the next day! The only downside is the bottle is not meant for hot drinks. Other than that, it’s seriously the best drinking bottle ever — I’ve sold several of my coworkers on them. Oh, and they are super affordable! I may or may not own four of them... 🤫

I bought a Tervis and I'm not impressed, it always has a few dribbles when I drink. Not from the seal but something with the sippy part. I have a stainless steel cup with a lid that has a sippy part or a straw that I got at Winners for cheap that doesn't drip. Well no other water bottle or to go mug has ever dribbled when I drink so I don't know what is uo with the Tervis.

Enablers!! I don't NEED any new cups, but the Simple Modern shimmers got me - bought a 32 oz bottle for the gym and a 16 oz coffee mug. I don't like my Tervis bottle that I've been using - most times when I go to drink it dribbles down my front. And I don't love my coffee mug because it has a small handle which doesn't let it sit in my cup holder well. So maybe I did NEED two more cups.  The simmery ones are so pretty!
