intro

Many small water bottles are marketed for kids, when in reality, they can be the perfect size for anyone. Smaller bottles remain lighter and easier to handle when full. Find out below why Sarah likes this 14 oz. one, and don’t forget to watch her demo at the bottom!

review by Sarah

June 2024

I like that this water bottle has a little handle, it’s light and easy to grip while twisting the lid open. I have shared it with a two-year-old, who appreciates the attached straw. I have never used the straw–it’s easier for me to twist open the lid and drink directly from the container. I worry about cleaning out the straw parts thoroughly enough, too. It does not require much force at all to open and close the straw at the top. I can close the lid easily.

I carried it in an outside pocket of my backpack on a series of flights from France to Spain to Senegal, and it stayed put without adding noticeable weight to my load. I have not tested hot or cold beverages. Summer in Senegal has been very hot, and room temperature water can remain at room temperature for a day. When tightly closed, it has not leaked (though I have only carried it right side up).

review update

January 2026

There were no issues with this product, but I don’t use it. I think I prefer a slightly larger (24 oz) lightweight water bottle without a straw mechanism attached.
