Top 5 Types of Water Bottle

In today’s time, whether you are at home, at work, or are traveling to someplace, carrying your personal water bottle has become a trend. Why so? Because water seems to be the magical elixir that can solve all our beauty and health-related problems. 

Dry skin? Frizzy hair? Kidney stones? Constipation? You name your problem and almost everyone, from celebrities to the layman, recommends you to drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day. And, how to do that? Well, carrying your own personal water bottle is the answer. 

And, the next question that pops up in our mind is - which type of water bottle? Because, in the water bottle industry, there is no dearth of customized water bottles ranging from environment friendly to fashionable water bottles. So, to make it easier for you, we have made a list of the top 5 types of water bottle design ideas. Read on to know more.

Eco-Bottles

Eco-bottles or environment-friendly bottles are undoubtedly on top of our list, for obvious reasons. In comparison to traditional plastic water bottles, which pose a grave threat to the environment, eco-bottles can easily be recycled and are less harmful to the environment. 

Another good thing about using eco-bottles is the fact that, unlike plastic bottles, they don’t release harmful chemicals like BPA into the water. There are so many types of eco-bottles available in the market in the form of glass bottles, stainless steel bottles, paper bottles, etc.

Glass water bottles are the best option to keep your drinking water as you can enjoy the taste of ‘pure’ water, as there is no fear of any contamination from harmful chemicals. Also, a glass bottle is easily recyclable, therefore not posing any threat to the environment. The only drawback is, they are fragile and therefore extra care is needed to handle the glass water bottles. 

Stainless steel water bottles are considered the most durable water bottles. People who love to go camping or hiking, mostly prefer to carry their ice-cold drinking water or hot coffee/tea in stainless steel water bottles. Why so? Because the insulating properties of stainless steel water bottles will keep your water cold for up to 24 hours and your coffee/tea hot for up to 12 hours. 

As per a report, paper water bottles will be in high demand soon by 2025. These eco-friendly water bottles are made using a pulp mixture of bamboo, sugar cane, wheat straw, husks, and bulrush. In comparison to glass and stainless steel water bottles, paper water bottles are much lighter in weight and therefore easy to carry anywhere. 

Foldable Water Bottles

Foldable water bottles are also called collapsible water bottles, because of their flexibility. These are popular among travelers, especially backpackers because they take less space and can be easily folded to fit in their bags or even pockets.  

Also, as they are lighter in weight, they are the perfect option for school-going children. Not having to carry an extra weight of a water bottle to their already heavy school bags is a big relief to both parents and children.

These water bottles are made of food-grade silicone. They are BPA-free, non-toxic, cheaper, easily recyclable, and therefore are a great alternative to plastic water bottles. Some of the well-known brands for foldable water bottles include Nomader, Hydaway, Nefeeko, Platypus, Anntrue, Vapur, etc. 

Filtering Water Bottles

As the name suggests, filtering water bottles are equipped with filters that help in filtering the water and making it safer to drink. These water bottles make sure that there is no chance of any contamination in the water and therefore help in preventing any kind of water-borne diseases. 

In the market, there are two types of filtering water bottles available. One is the type that purifies the water directly once you pour it into the bottle and the other type that filters the water while you are drinking it. 

Filtering water bottles are great to have on a hiking or trekking trail when there is fear of empty water bottles and the only source to refill them - the nearby stream or river. At that time, if you have a filtering water bottle, you can easily refill your bottle and drink the water without having to worry about any fear of contamination.  

As these water bottles come with filters, make sure that you replace the filters from time to time, depending on the brand. Some of the popular brands of filtering water bottles to check out in the market include Grayl Gepress Purifier, Brita Premium, Lifestraw Go Filtered, Grayl Ultralight Purifier, etc. 

Fitness Water Bottles

As we said in the beginning, there is a trend of carrying your water bottle everywhere, and that is true for workout sessions too. Staying hydrated before and after workout sessions are as important as your workout. 

If you are working out at your home, you don’t need to carry a water bottle, for obvious reasons. However, if you are a gym enthusiast, then you must carry a water bottle that is specially designed for the gym. There are a variety of companies that manufacture customized fitness water bottles like Rockay, Sistema, Bobble Sport, Ion8, Hydro Flask, Takeya, etc. 

Fruit Infuser Water Bottles

If you are bored of drinking regular water, a fruit infuser water bottle is your savior! This type of water bottle comes up with a separate removable infuser which is used to keep the chopped fruits. Just cut slices of your favorite fruits, put them inside the infuser, and enjoy the fruit-flavored water.

And for those who love to have their unflavoured pure water, the option to remove the infuser is always there. Some of the well-known brands for fruit infuser water bottles are Hydracy, OMORC, Teabloom, Infusion Pro, Asobu, Xbottle, etc. So, these were our picks of the top 5 types of water bottles to carry with you.
