For years people have been searching for the perfect water bottle. Finding the right one for you can make a huge difference in how well you are hydrating. The perfect water bottle might look a little different for everyone depending on their lifestyle and preferences, but the choice usually boils down to a few factors.

Size

Material

Functionality

Aesthetics

Water Bottles these days come in all kinds of sizes. They can range from 6 oz all the way to 128 oz, and are each made to fill a certain need. However, in the past couple of years, it has been more common to see people walking around with larger bottles. With the benefits of hydration becoming more commonly known and a larger focus on health, the benefits to carrying a large water bottle are becoming more desirable.

1. Less Refills. Life is busy and people are constantly on the go. Convenience is king to most people and usually, if someone’s water bottle is empty,  they will either forget to refill it, or they will wait until they have time. However, if your bottle holds a large capacity of water, you are more likely to keep drinking throughout the day because it won’t be empty as quickly.
2. Easier to track your progress. Do you ever get to the end of the day and try to think about how much water you have drank and blank out? Was it 3 glasses? Was it 5 glasses? With a large water bottle, your progress is way easier to track. For example, if you have a half gallon water bottle you know that drinking 2 = 1 gallon of water. 
3. Easier to set goals. If you have a large amount of water in front of you, it’s easier to set the goal to drink all of it.

The most common materials that water bottles are made of are BPA Free Plastics, Stainless Steel, and Glass. There are pros and cons to each material and it is up to the individual to determine what kind will suit their lifestyle.

Stainless Steel: Great for keeping water ice cold, very durable, sustainable for the environment, and looks great.

Glass: The most sustainable material and aesthetically pleasing.

BPA Free Plastics: durable, an “everyday” bottle, BPA free, lower price point.

There are tons of functions that a water bottle can include that will make drinking water more convenient. Things including lid, handle, straw and shape can all play a factor.
