Water Bottle | Pad Patter 8.29

Last October when I began delivering boxes for the USPS I bought the Simple Modern water bottle called Summit. I found it at Target. I didn't even realize it was going to be so awesome, but it is amazingly well insulating. Even in a hot vehicle, the water inside stays cool. Mine is the 32oz size and fits in my Toyota Sienna cup holder exactly. The reason I chose it originally is that I think straws are gross and hard to wash. The one I found in Target came with the "chug lid" which just has a small spout. Easy to clean. On the website I see they have two other lid options including one with a straw though if you prefer.

Good luck with your quest for the perfect water bottle!

 

I hope you find one you love!

My DH has one he loves but it doesn’t fit ANY of our car cup holders which drives me insane!

 

I need to ask my granddaughter. She's the "queen of water bottles" - she just gave herself that designation. LOL

Personally, I love my 33 fluid ounce plastic "Life Water" bottle. I just refill it all the time. My granddaughter disagrees with me because she doesn't like the top. But I like it and it fits in my drink holder in my car. I got one with a straw in it at Walgreen's but I can't find them anymore. It's probably about 30 oz and has big rubber bands around it for grip. I had 2 of them and left one in my DD's house (when it was under construction) and when I went back to get it, it was gone.

Here's my fave - DH got me one bottle of it and I just refill it with our filtered water.

 

Just FYI, they make cup holder expanders for car cup holders. Here's just one option: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078C7J8ZB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_BEXQKS406FRHG849P7TK

 

I bought a new one this year that has time markers on it rather than fluid volume markers, it's 1 Litre & has 8am to noon on the front & 2pm til 6pm on the back (& is translucent) - works for aiming to drink 2L of water a day but I don't luv that it has a bottle cap lid, a sippy lid would be easier for the car but it's ok to top up a normal drinking glass every hour or so & keep on track rather than having to drink a heap at once

 

That is genius! Love the practical ity of little products like this!

 

I love my Contigo!!! Keeps water cold all day long. I have the 24 oz one that is slim and fits in the car cup holder.

I use a couple different Yetis: the 20oz Tumbler in Pink and 32oz Tumbler in Steel. Both I use with the straw lid attachment. I've been lucky enough to receive both of these as gifts (I know they're pricey), but I love them! They fit in my car cupholder too (the 32oz has a narrow bottom).

@gonewiththewind has a couple knock-offs that work just as well!

 

I have a water filter bottle that’s unfortunately not available anymore but it’s from Brita, been using them on and off for over ten years now.

 

I have a good old fashioned tupperware bottle with a spout.
Love the expansion thingys though, who knew that was a thing?

 

my priority is always for one that is really easy to clean - no spouts or straws or fancy sippy parts. Just a large enough opening to clean inside well and a basic lid.

 

I'm always on the look out for the perfect water bottle!

I actually had the tupperware one for a LONG time and LOVED it and then I lost it.

I still haven't found one that I "love".
