Yeti Rambler Straw Mug, 42-Ounce

“I’ve been relying on the amazingly insulated Yeti Rambler coffee mug for years to keep my morning brew piping hot, so I decided to give this water bottle a try. I love that the thin handle is easy to grip, and the stainless steel walls really do keep my water cold all day. Plus, I have a health condition that requires me to drink at least two bottles’ worth of water per day, so I appreciate that the straw helps me sip more quickly than other water bottle openings. I also like that it’s less heavy than my Hydro Flask, not to mention that each component is dishwasher-safe.” – Phoebe Sklansky, Senior Commerce Editor

Aquafit 1-Gallon Water Bottle

“This big, goofy gallon bottle is the best way I’ve found to stay hydrated. It stays by my side at my desk, then goes onto my bedside table so I have water at all times. I’ve been through three of them over the last five or six years. (Don’t put it in the dishwasher; you will melt and ruin it.)” – Jason Horn, Senior Commerce Writer

Zojirushi One-Touch Stainless Steel Water Bottle, 32.4-Ounce

“Easy to carry, easy to wash, and keeps water ice-cold forever! Doubles as a thermos if you want to tote a hot beverage like tea.” – Karen Shimizu, Executive Editor

Ghia L’Eau H2O Nalgene Water Bottle

“Some folks have forgotten about Nalgene, but Ghia just gave this classic bottle a chic new makeover. I recently took this 32-ounce bottle with me on a cross-country road trip and found the narrow-mouth style very easy to sip (and fill my dog’s water bowl) from without any spillage. It’s a great lightweight alternative to clunkier stainless steel canteens. This is the water bottle I’m bringing to the beach, tossing into my tote bag for quick errands, and refilling on the regular.” – Danielle St. Pierre, Senior Commerce Editor

Yeti Rambler, 26-Ounce

“I’m team Yeti forever. Love this water bottle that has a super wide mouth (for easy chugging) and a screw top. It’s never leaked or dented, it never smells, and it’s easy to clean. It also looks fairly discreet compared to those comically huge Super Big Gulp-looking pastel cups with straws. (But also no disrespect — my fiancée has one and loves it.)” – Adam Rothbarth, Commerce Writer

Brita Filtering Water Bottle, 26-Ounce

“I don’t like wasting fridge space with a big, bulky water filter, but I had gotten tired of drinking the chlorine-filled water from the tap. Recently, I decided to buy this 26-ounce bottle from Brita, and it’s the perfect solution. Unlike most filters, it’s portable and small enough to fit in most cup holders.” – Katie Brown, Commerce Writer

Stanley x LoveShackFancy All Day Slim Bottle, 12-Ounce

“My teen is Stanley- and LoveShackFancy-obsessed. I got one of these cute water bottles for her to take to school, and she loves it. They also had cups, but those sold out quickly. There are still lots of cute and girly water bottles to choose from.” – Jennifer Zyman, Testing Editor

Fellow 16-Ounce Carter Cold Tumbler

“Despite its petite size, this tumbler from Fellow keeps drinks surprisingly cold for hours at a time. The straw and top are easy to clean, too. There’s a time and a place for a gallon-sized water bottle, but this smaller footprint option (in muted colors) lives on my nightstand.” – Oset Babür-Winter, Senior Drinks Editor

Hydraflow Capri Tumbler, 30-Ounce

“I’ve had this tumbler for well over a year, and I would buy it again. When looking for a new water bottle, I aim for three things: simplistic, easily sippable, and stays cold for hours. As a minimalist, this tumbler provided me with all of my needs and more. It has a sleek design, keeps my water cold, has a great durable straw, is easy to clean, and fits in my cup holder.” – Manichanh Naonady, Newsletter Editor
