We all know we need to stay hydrated, but sometimes it’s just not a top priority.
There’s nothing worse than some scum left in an old bottle that’s sitting at the bottom of your gym bag.
However, the water bottle has had some serious shine, and the right reusable one might be just the motivation you need to improve your hydration.
From the cult favorite Stanley Quencher, aka the mammoth-sized tumblers that went viral and come in a million different colors, to the Air Up aroma system that gives plain water a fruity upgrade, or even Marks & Spencerwho are selling some seriously stylish bottles for a budget price, there’s a whole world of water bottles out there.
Of course, looking cool is one thing, but the best water bottles keep water cold and ice cubes solid, with leak-proof designs and handles to keep them in a breeze.

Just sip and go, and you’ll soon be the most hydrated person you know. The ice cubes stay solid for more than 10 hours, so it’s like a permanent cooler you can keep around. It’s also easy to clean, and the giant size means less stuffing.
air up® Twist Pro 600ml
Bored with plain water? Air Up flavors let you add zero sugar flavoring to your drinks – think cola, watermelon, pink lemonade – so with every sip it’s like a subtle upgrade to staying hydrated. Available in 600ml or 1L bottles, Twist Pro comes with three different flavored bottles to get you started. The bottle itself is available in eight different colors and is dishwasher safe. Delicious.
