Owala Water Bottles Are Leak-Proof and Insulated, Here’s Why I Own 2

You’ll rarely spot me without my trusty emotional support water bottle. Whether I’m attending a workout class, running errands, or working from home, it’s always nearby. 

Although that hasn’t always been the case. My previous water bottles, including my Stanley tumbler, all had fatal flaws, such as leaking lids and no insulation to keep my water cold, which prevented me from reaching my daily hydration goals. My go-to over the past two years, the Owala Freesip Insulated Water Bottle, has zero pitfalls in my eyes and somehow makes drinking water fun.

With two layers of insulation, the stainless steel bottle keeps drinks icy cold for up to 24 hours. I left one of my two Owala water bottles in the car for several hours in the summer heat on a recent car camping trip and was pleasantly surprised to find that the water was still cold when I returned from my hike. 

I also appreciate the convenience of the loop handle on the lid, which makes it easy to carry, even when your hands are full with shopping bags. The slim design of this 24-ounce version, which is just slightly wider than a can of soda, makes it easy to grip. And it fits in my car’s cupholders, which are on the smaller side. 

The unique spout is what really sets the water apart. It allows you to choose between sipping through the attached straw, swigging through the wider opening, or switching back and forth between the two. My boyfriend prefers the swig feature, while I’m personally partial to a straw and appreciate how it is safely covered inside the bottle, unlike a tumbler, so it stays clean. 

This design also eliminates the need for an uncovered straw hole, making the bottle completely leak-free when the lid is locked. I’ve put this claim to the test countless times, even throwing it on its side in the same bag as my laptop, and it’s yet to fail me once. 

I’m definitely guilty of letting my bottle go too long between cleanings, but the process is simple. The lid and straw are dishwasher safe, while the brand recommends hand washing the cup to maintain the insulation. Although I’ve definitely thrown the whole bottle in the dishwasher.
