Stanley The Quencher Tumbler
When it comes to water cups, the Stanley tumbler reigns supreme. The internet has gone bananas for this bottle recently, but the brand has been around for more than 100 years, proving it has a tried-and-true product line. The recycled stainless steel receptacle holds 40 ounces and comes in an array of vibrant colors. The handle and straw make for easy sipping, but nothing is quite as impressive as its insulation capabilities. Your drink will stay cold for 11 hours and hot for seven.
Our associate shopping editor, Madi Koetting, tested the internet-famous cup for herself. “I only have it to fill my tumbler once in the morning and one more time in the afternoon to meet my hydration goals,” she writes in her Stanley tumbler review. “The best part? My water never goes warm—even after eight hours.”

BrüMate Toddy
With a capacity of 22 ounces, BrüMate’s Toddy works to keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to four hours. The leakproof, dishwasher-safe cup has a flip lid and nonslip base. Although it has a solid capacity, it’s still cup holder-friendly so you can take it with you wherever you go.
“I love traveling with my BrüMate Toddy,” shares our senior shopping editor, Katie Bandurski. “The lockable, leakproof lid keeps my beverage safe, whether at the beach or on a plane. And the insulated interior ensures it stays at the perfect temp. And that pretty rose color? Well, that’s just the cherry on top!”

Colorful Water Bottle
With tons of social media fans, this stainless steel water bottle from Owala is yet another internet wunderkind. It’s not hard to see why—just look at how cute it is! But it’s more than that. This bottle has swig and sip spouts, a push-button lid and a carrying loop. Also, it’s leakproof, bisphenol A (BPA)-free and ultra insulated. Just tuck it away in water bottle storage in between uses.

Insulated Tumbler with Straw
A “TikTok Made Me Buy It” purchase, this insulated 28-ounce tumbler comes with a straw and in multiple colors and patterns. It doubles as an on-the-go coffee and tea cup, thanks to the flip lid. Every size of the water bottle is tall and slim enough to fit in backpack side pockets and car cup holders.

Motivational Water Bottle
If you’re chronically dehydrated, this motivational 128-ounce water bottle is here to do something about it! The behemoth is large enough to fit a full day’s worth of water, and it cheers you on with each passing sip. The encouragement stays the same from bottle to bottle, but there are a rainbow of fun colors from which to choose. So far, it has more than 22,000 five-star ratings.

Hydro Flask
The best water bottles feature a range of colors and sizes, and this Hydro Flask pick is no exception. Hydro Flask is a leader in high-quality water bottles, in part because the brand’s offerings are ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, biking and everyday exercising. The insulated design keeps water cold for up to 24 hours.

Yeti Rambler
Opting for a high-quality, insulated water bottle is more sustainable and less expensive in the long run, and the Yeti Rambler fits nearly every drinking need. The BPA-free and shatter-resistant construction make it ultra-long-lasting, and the straw and lid make it easy to sip throughout the day. Although it’s ideal for helping you drink 8 cups a day, it’s also perfect for holding hot or iced coffee. Choose from multiple colors and two sizes. It even boasts a five-year warranty in case anything happens to your precious Yeti Rambler.

Glass Water Bottle
Some would argue that water tastes better when it’s served in a glass, which is why we love this glass water bottle. Encased in a silicone sleeve for shatter protection, it’s ideal for outdoor adventuring or keeping on your desk. It holds 20 ounces and includes a leakproof locking lid.
via merchant
Ceramic Water Bottle
This oversized bottle holds 68 ounces and is lined with ceramic to preserve the pure flavor of water. Also, it’s spill-proof with a straw lid and the ability to keep your water cold for hours. Our favorite part, however, is that buyers have the choice to customize the colors and even select a different hue for each component (lid, base and lid button.)

Corkcicle Classic Canteen
Slim to store easily and colorful to catch your eye, the Corkcicle Classic Canteen is available in vibrant and neutral colors, as well as three sizes (depending on the color). It promises to keep water ice-cold for 25 hours or to keep drinks warm for 12 hours. Shoppers love the pretty colors and that it keeps water chilled during long trips and days outside.

Larq Self-Cleaning Water Bottle
If you balked at the price, we’ll have you know this high-tech water bottle from Larq isn’t your average buy. This is the world’s first self-cleaning water bottle and can eliminate up to 99% of the biological contaminants from your H2O. And it also does the basics—like keeping your water chilled and looking cute in your hiking pack—brilliantly, too. The brand also makes water-filter pitchers, and we tried one for ourselves.
“There’s no denying that it makes my eight glasses a day taste cleaner and more refined,” writes Bandurski. “Plus, I can drink easy knowing it’s removing chlorine, heavy metals and mold—and the PureVis wand technology is keeping those pollutants at bay.”

Water Bottle with Fruit Infuser
If you need extra motivation to drink all 8 cups, consider this fruit-infuser water bottle with time markers. It holds 1 liter of liquid and features shatterproof, BPA-free Tritan plastic. The leakproof lid has a secure lock ring, and keeps water from spilling. Plus, it comes with a sleeve to prevent condensation and a fruit strainer for infused water. This affordable pick is ideal for every activity: exercising, outdoor exploring and, most importantly, lounging around the house.

Water Bottle with Measurement Markings
All it takes to hit 8 cups a day is filling this water bottle twice. This measurable water bottle makes it simple to check progress, thanks to easy-to-read ounce and milliliter markings printed on the bottle. It comes in seven solid colors and includes a carrying loop for easy travel.
