Water Bottles

My Favorite Water Bottles After Years of Testing

I have been testing water bottles for years and these are the ones I keep coming back to. When it comes to everyday use for both me and my kids, I focus on materials first. Glass and stainless steel are always my preference.

Here are the bottles we actually use daily in our home.

BKR Glass Bottles
BKR glass bottles are a staple for us. I especially love the Demi size for everyday use. They are easy to carry, look beautiful, and most importantly keep water free from plastic contact. These are in constant rotation for both me and the kids.

Elk and Friends
Elk and Friends has quickly become one of my newer favorites. I switch out the straws for glass and use them daily for both water and electrolytes. They are practical, easy for kids to use, and hold up really well with everyday wear. These are the straws I use for these bottles.

My Larger Water Bottle for Hydration
I also keep a larger water bottle on hand for days when I need a little extra help staying hydrated. This one is great for the car since it fits perfectly in a cup holder. It is a bit heavier, but I find that having a bigger option makes a noticeable difference in how much water I drink throughout the day.

Here are the straws I use for this bottle.

Klean Kanteen for Kids
Klean Kanteen stainless steel bottles with the bamboo top are my go to for the kids. They are durable, simple, and fit easily into backpacks which makes them perfect for school and activities. Stainless steel is a great option when glass is not practical.

At the end of the day, these are the bottles we reach for without thinking. Small swaps like choosing better materials and replacing plastic parts where possible can make a big difference over time.
