Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Straw for Sports and Travel, BPA-Free, 24-Ounce, Smooshed Blueberry

This is the perfect water bottle guys! Just call me Goldilocks --I ordered my first water bottle with the bluetooth notifications that are supposed to remind you to drink more water. Don't waste your money, it was expensive and not even insulated and to top it off, the notification light just stayed on 24/7 and wasn't really any help. You really don't need a water bottle that you have to PLUG IN every night!The second water bottle was a little better, except you really had to finagle it to raise the spout up and I was feeling kinda weird in public sucking on a straw like a toddler. I just couldn't make eye-contact with anybody while using it (lol) so this one was definitely a NO.Finally I found yours truly, and here's why it is simply the BEST:First of all, when it is in the locked position it really doesn't leak no matter how many times you drop it because you've got neuropathy in your fingertips and you end up dropping stuff on a daily basis. (Note: DO NOT let me hold your baby, lol). It is also super tough, because it has no dents, scratches, NOTHING and still looks brand new!Secondly, to open you just PRESS A BUTTON and POP it is open and you are ready to drink! I love this feature because it truly is a one-handed operation, and since you have to hold your own baby I know you will love it too.Thirdly, the bottle itself is very ergonomic and is much easier to hold because they've got an indention in the middle where you grab it. If you have carpal tunnel and/or arthritis in your hands like I do, you should really consider this water bottle.And last but not least (and probably my most favorite thing about it) is that the spout area has a dual opening. At first, I was tilting the bottle all the way back and the liquid was falling out onto my face. Then I noticed when I opened it that it actually has a STRAW on the inside (which you can't even tell from the outside) so you don't have to lean the bottle back AT ALL. You can even drink in bed (if that is your thing)!It is truly a perfect water bottle for me and I cannot recommend it enough!

I walk around with this bottle all day long. It has been all across the country as it travels with me anywhere I go. I have many relatives who have also purchased this bottle and love it as well. I am 63 so I have the more slender version so that I can hold it in one hand. My son-in-law has the larger version but he is young and his hands are a bit bigger for that grip.

Over the years, I have wasted so much money on other water bottles that just lack a feature or two that is important to me. I want my bottle to have the opening covered, yet be easy to open. I want it to be leak proof. I want it to be easy to drink from. this bottle does it all!I usually find that bottles with a straw give so little water for the effort. But, because there is a big opening for sipping, I can get a big gulp for the effort. If I want a bigger drink, there is the large, handy spout. And everything stays clean and covered when not in use.It definitely is leak proof, too. I like the fact that the carry handle slips over the release button, providing security when storing a full bottle.I never expected it to hold the ice water so well, either. Usually, when I put ice water in other bottles, there is always sweating on the outside. But not with this bottle! The first time I used it was on an overnight trip. I filled it with ice water when we left home, and even 15 hours later, the water was still cold, even though I had added extra water on the way.The only negatives I have are that it is a little heavy when filled, and it does not fit in the car cup holders.

Best water bottle ever. Here’s why:1. Doesn’t dent. Is easy to clean and seems to stay much cleaner than my Tervis did.2. I worried about the straw for several reasons. What I found is that it’s detachable, but it works fine with ice. In fact, I notice my ice lasts so much longer than with my Tervis, so I don’t use as much. Plus the natural, elongated design of the spout to which the straw attaches does not require lip pursing (which causes wrinkles). So I actually love the straw.3. Opens easily and closes securely. Flippy little handle makes its perfect entrance only when needed.4. The top turns a full 360 degreens while my last water bottle only turned 180. Twice the lid came off the old one while I was walking, which was of course disastrous. This lid has never come off.4. I also love the colors and think they are even prettier in person.

gotten many "sports" bottles with easy open drinking spouts. most stainless steel like this one. Well this one wins them all hands down. First it is coated in plastic on the outside so it won't scratch up like the painted metal ones. But most important is it fits in my cupholder 24 oz AND has a super easy open and lock one handed spout. But really most important is it is so simple in how it is made it can be cleaned very easily. Many of these have lots of nooks and crannies where you can get mold. Not this one. .. super open spout and a straw on the drinking side of the bottle means virtually no tipping and clean sailing all the time. And... the main opening at the top for filling is super large so you can easily add ice cubes and you can see inside as you fill it from your fridge water dispenser knowing when it is full compared to others that have smaller openings . About time someone figured all this out. Now lets just hope it holds up but seems well built and keeps things cold. Winner.
