I'd like one that doesn't leak if it isn't upright in a cup holder! Also, one with a spout I can drink from so I don't have to unscrew and remove the lid. Please tell me which water bottles have been your 'best buy ever'?! Thank you!

Another vote for ion8! You get different sizes, plastic and metal, straw and no straw.

Absolutely leak proof.

Contigo Autoseal Perfection!
I can only use one and struggle to remove lids, but Contigo opens with a button

I have this Stanley bottle (I have to admit to scoffing at the obsession with their cups, but I really like this bottle). When I went to find a link for the OP, I was surprised at it having a 3-star rating, but on reading one person lost the o-ring so their bottle leaks, and another dropped it and cracked the lid. Mine is leakproof and sturdy - I've had it for a couple of years now

Get a cycling "bidon'... No faff, and designed for drinking on the go. Probably cheaper too 😀

I LOVE my Owala. It has a straw and spout option, the lid opens with a click and it’s leakproof. Only the lid and straw are dishwasher safe but I think that’s fairly common with insulated bottles.

Highly recommend Hydragear. DP got me one from TK Maxx and I use it every single day. No leaks! I’ve actually gotten rid of my Stanley in favour of this 😊

Ninja thirsti - although it doesn't have a spout, just a small twist off cap. Keeps drinks cold for decades and is completely leak proof, and happily goes through the dishwasher

Sho Guzzler or the straw bottles from Lululemon.

My fave. I have the black leopard one.

Sho Reusables.

SHO leakproof, indestructible even by my kids!!!! Some lovely designs and interchangeable lids. They are super and three years of daily use ours looks good as new!

Ion8 are good bottles - leak proof, push button opening, lots of different sizes and colours. You can usually buy them in TK Maxx/Home sense.

Yes, these are the best we’ve tried. Easy to clean with no manky straws too. The lid can be flipped open one handed while driving.
