We knew that people were particular about the best water bottles, but recent events have proven just how passionate people get about their tumblers of choice. First, there were rumors that Stanley cups – the giant thermoses topping tweens’ wish lists – contained traces of lead. And although the claims were quickly debunked, water bottle aficionados took to the internet to make their feelings about what products really deserve the moniker of “best water bottle” known.
Even celebrities have their personal preferences, with Chappell Roan spotted sipping from pastel Hydro Flasks at her Coachella and Lollapalooza sets (different color ways for different costumes, of course). Meanwhile, Hilary Duff seems to be a fan of the colorful Owala water bottles, holding onto one for her run through Los Angeles (a true testament to the “leakproof” lid). Olivia Wilde is another celeb with major water bottle loyalty, proudly sporting the same mint-green Yeti tumbler to several workout classes.
As it turns out, PS editors have some pretty strong feelings about the best water bottles too. We’ve reviewed enough of them, after all – from insulated water bottles to time-increment water bottles to gallon-size water bottles – so we’ve compiled a list of our favorites. Ultimately, we may never agree on the one best water bottle on the market . . . but at least we’re not using single-use plastic bottles anymore.
