Different Types of Water Bottles

Water Bottles with Straws

Sip easy with a straw built into your water bottle. Straws can either be completely removable (and replaceable) or built into the bottle’s twist-off cap. Either way, these types of bottles are easy to use, even with one hand. Straws built into the cap can typically be open and closed for an extra layer of protection against spills. Whatever you choose, remember to wash the straw as frequently as you wash the bottle.

Insulated Water Bottles

To keep a cold drink cold or a hot drink hot, look for an insulated water bottle. Insulated water bottles are known for their ability to retain the temperature of your beverage, even when the outside temperature is drastically different. There are foam and fiber glass insulation—You can even get a double insulated bottle with two layers that create a vacuum to prevent temperature transfer. Another benefit of insulated bottles is they experience less condensation, which prevents water from damaging anything else in your bag .

Metal Water Bottles

Stainless steel is ideal for water bottles because they are safe and super durable. Stainless steel can last longer than other materials, like plastic. Each extra use you get out of a durable water bottle reduces waste and saves resources. Also, plastic water bottles contain chemicals that can leach into water. Metal bottles minimize the risk of harmful chemicals. Be sure to check for BPA-Free and Lead-Free labels.

Different Water Bottle Lids

Lids are where personal preference comes most into play. There are a variety of flip-top or push lids that allow you to open a spout or straw for easy access. Sometimes, the spout can be exposed without a cover, which has even greater access but tends to require more frequent washing. Screw-on lids have a wide opening that is good for chugging and a provides a tight seal.

Benefits of a Reusable Water Bottle

Reusable water bottles are a more eco-friendly option than single-use plastic. Choosing a durable bottle reduces waste and ultimately your impact on the environment. Beyond environmental factors, committing to a reusable water bottle can establish healthy drinking habits and keep you hydrated all day. Proper hydration is known to affect a variety of health factors, including sleep, cognition, and even your mood!

Tips for Choosing the Best Water Bottle

Consider your lifestyle before choosing a water bottle. If you need something easy to carry, make sure your bottle has a handle on the lid or along the side. If you prefer cold, crisp water, try an insulated bottle, and fill it with ice. Insulated bottles will help maintain temperature for a longer period. Likewise, if you won’t have an opportunity to fill up, choose a large water bottle – at least 32 ounces.

How to Wash a Water Bottle

Start by rinsing the bottle with warm water to remove initial residue. Add a few drops of mild dish soap and lightly scrub with a water bottle brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly until you can’t see or smell any soap residue. Let it air dry completely before using again.

You should deep clean your bottle every so often. Start by rinsing your bottle and add a teaspoon of baking soda to the water. Soak for at least 15 minutes or overnight. Rinse out with water and let the bottle air dry completely.
