Shockingly, We *Actually* Recommend Buying This TikTok-Trendy Water Bottle

The world is currently obsessed with stainless steel water bottles. Whether you’ve been coveting the array of travel mugs, tumblers, and cups floating across your For You page or resolved to drink more water in the new year, now’s the perfect time to snatch up a great water bottle that’ll outlast the TikTok trends. There are tons of options out there, and while much of the internet swears by Stanley Cups, it was the Owala Free Sip water bottle that aced all of our rigorous tests.

Of the seven stainless steel bottles we tested, the Owala came out on top thanks to its dual mouthpieces, its leakproof design, and its cup holder-friendly size. Snag one while it’s up to 24% off at Amazon.

Owala Free Sip Vacuum Water Bottle

Why It Won Our Review

If you bring your reusable water bottle wherever you go, you’ll want one that’s durable, fits in your cup holders, and won’t leak in transit. The Owala Free Sip checks all of those boxes. The 24-ounce vessel is just over three inches in diameter, meaning it fits in most cup holders, and is topped with a locking lid that prevents leaks. Plus, with its triple insulation, it keeps drinks cold for up to 27 hours.

The dual spout is the feature we loved most about the Owala Free Sip. The built-in straw is great for sipping slowly throughout the day, and when you’re extra parched, you can tilt it back to access the wide spout and chug to your heart’s content. In our tests, we found that both options were mess-free (no drips or spills here!).

Now that the Owala Free Sip is up to 11% off, there’s never been a better time to invest in the everyday water bottle you’ve been looking for. Buy yours at Amazon before the discount disappears.
