I’ve been using a reusable 36oz/1L plastic “flip lid” bottle from Bezos’s market - this is my third one (sadly replaced almost on a yearly basis) since I keep accidentally breaking the lids.
It practically comes everywhere with me - walking, cycling, in my backpack. This lid is starting to crack at the hinge and the latch though, but don’t really want to replace it with the same thing again.
How long have you had you had your current bottle, and how are you finding it so far?
Maybe six months. I had a flip-top one for a few years, but I wanted a wide mouth
Banged up Chillys 0.5 liter bottle. Maybe 10 years (can’t remember exactly).
I’ve had my 40 oz Contigo for maybe 6 months. I honestly don’t like it that much because it leaks a little, but it was the only design at Walmart that I liked and I don’t exactly have the money to buy a different one.
Back in 2009, I went disc golfing with a friend and while walking back to the car, I saw a dark blue nalgene in the grass. I was poor and in college and had always wanted a nalgene bottle, so I took it.
Today at work, I filled that dark blue nalgene up with water and drank the whole 32 oz over the course of the day.
its been a great water bottle for these past 14 years.
I have nalgene bottles older than my kids!
I have bought 5 in my lifetime, the first 3 were lost (stolen) over the course of several years of use. Even though they had my name in sharpie, stickers making it clearly unique… they just seemed to get lost at events with lots of people. Then I bought two bright pink ones and somehow have not “lost” them since!
I promise I didn’t steal yours! It was completely bare haha
Bought my current Simple Modern 24oz steel double-wall insulated water bottle over four years ago. I buy silicone sleeves for it to keep it from making too much noise and from being banged up, and I have bought many replacement lids (I prefer flip-top lids and they’re prone to breaking), but the bottle itself has been my constant companion over these four years.
It keeps ice water so damn cold all day long. I love it dearly. It is my emotional support water bottle and it supports me emotionally.
I’ve had two Nalgene bottles for about 10 years, maybe more, and neither show any signs of quitting. They’re big, virtually indestructible, and water filtration pumps fit on properly (for camping).
My Nalgene has been with me for at least 16 years and still holding up fine other than the logo/printing wearing off!
I’ve started drinking evian a week ago. Although it’s a few bucks more compared to other brands, what I’ve heard it’s more like actual water because the water source has (some) minerals that you would expect to find in water.
At least 15 years. It’s kinda dented but it still works, what do I care. Mountain Equipment Coop has really good products.
Unfortunately the co-op no longer exists. It was purchased by some American investment firm. Capitalism baby.
The one bottle I bought, I’ve had since 2010, I think. I have a few other bottles that I’ve picked up for free (conferences, college housing promo) from ~2012, ~2015, ~2019?

Hydroflask. Probably 7 or 8 years now. Great customer support as well.
I’ve got a 1.5L stainless steel. It’s got some dents, but it’s still going strong.
I’ve got a few stainless ones and they are 15, some probably 20, years old and still fine. Couple dents maybe, some labeling scratched but perfectly functional.
I buy aluminum exclusively, no plastic.
Plastic doesn’t age well and isn’t as recyclable.
7 years I think. Big chunky metal thing.
I’ve got several ikea glass water bottles because i tend to forget where they are. They’re pretty simply made (glass bottle, plastic cap, silicone ring) and therefore easy to clean.
They’ve held up well for a few months now.
