Don't even get me started on how many water bottles I have bought over the last two years. She hasn't lost them, they just seem to break or the seal gives way. If you have one that's lasted, where did you get it?

Tinc ones are good, or ION8.

Another vote for ION8, my DCs have lasted 3 years so far and still going strong.

I bought this one for Dd in September 2022 and it’s still going strong! Been dropped multiple times and absolutely fine. The design hasn’t got a single scratch/mark. Plus easy to clean.

Sistema or just the supermarket version of them. Failing that, use empty mineral water bottles

We get the polar gear ones, like this (they’re cheaper in supermarkets)

the weird handle bit always breaks but still functions fine. Anything fancier or with a lid like an ion 8 alway gets dropped and broken

Another vote for ION8 ... Never leaked, survived a few falls, several years old now and still going strong. I have bought replacement seals once when one hit left in a back and some mildew formed on the seal - it was great that you could get easy replacements.

Just to add they quite often have ION8 bottles available in tkmaxx so you might pick up a bargain if you look there.

Another votw for ion8. Leakproof!

Ion8. Been getting them for years and only broken one when DS accidentally dropped it from height. DD went through a stage of liking to pick the seals out and I was all set to get something cheaper when I realised I could buy replacement seals.

One Green Bottle - 4 years daily use and going strong!

We randomly picked up an ION8 for DS in TK Maxx and it's been indestructible. As a result, I've bought one for me as well and they both get dropped and squashed and nary a problem.

I have a Sistema myself and love them but hers did not survive, sadly. Going to investigate the ion8!

We got an Ion8 and she is completely in love with it. It appears to have a triple lock system, which I approve of
