Over time, I’ve tried a number of fashionable water bottles to encourage myself to drink extra water. I attempted an hourly motivational bottle, which acquired me to drink extra water for perhaps three days, and I’ve tried utilizing solely disposable water bottles to higher preserve depend — I do know, unhealthy for the setting. However nothing ever sticks, and I am again to chugging water at night time to catch up. However the cup that I’ve truly caught with, as a result of it makes it simple to gulp water on the go, is the 30-ounce Stanley tumbler.
I purchased three completely different sizes of Stanley tumblers to strive, from Amazon — the 14-ounce in charcoal ($20), 30-ounce in cream ($35) and 40-ounce in orchid ($45) — and there is a clear winner. Although the 40-ounce would most likely be my cup of selection, I recurrently need to lug round my 23-pound, energetic toddler, which implies I want one thing lighter to place my water in. That very same toddler is all the time following me round, so consistently refilling the 14-ounce bottle can be out of the query — plus it would not have a deal with, which is inconvenient. The deal with is certainly a recreation changer.
That leaves the Goldilocks of the group: the 30-ounce Stanley tumbler. It is mild, matches in my automobile’s cupholder and is insulated with chrome steel, so I can use it to maintain my water chilly or my espresso scorching. I as soon as left my Stanley tumbler, full of ice water, within the automobile throughout an 89-degree day, and the water was nonetheless chilly once I acquired again hours later.
The one draw back I’ve discovered is that when the straw is within the cup, there isn’t any approach to make the cup leak-proof. So when my 1-year-old will get ahold of my cup, he spills water throughout himself. The straw is detachable, however I want to make use of it, as a result of it makes ingesting water simpler (for my part).
