Water mug/jug recommendation?

[kdrake8]

I don't even know what to call it. This morning the big water cup I take to school dropped on the floor and broke. Anyone have one they love?

It needs to be BIG and have a straw. I don't refill it at work (middle school water fountains - no.) so it has to hold lots of water.

Mine is big and has a straw but it irritates me bc, while it has a lid, the lid isn't super tight or anything, just pops on, so it also pops off... In my work bag. And has come off and spilled water all over my things many times, which is annoying.

Anyone have a water cup they love?

I love the Camelbak water bottles. I've never had issues with it leaking. It's not really a straw though but works like a straw. They have them at Target and most sports stores plus Amazon.

I have this one- the brand is Contigo, and I think H got it at target? Mine holds 24 ounces, but I know they make them bigger. It has a flip up straw with a cover that keeps it clean when you're not using it, which is a giant plus for me at work with lots of germs floating around. I also like that it's got a push button to release the straw so I can open it one handed. It's never leaked, and it came with I think 2 extra straws? I love it. It goes everywhere with me!

Does it need to have a straw? I have a zoro water bottle from target that I love. The top opens with a one button push so it's very easy to drink. No straw though but it comes in adorable colors and is pretty big.

I have a Bobble water bottle. I LOVE it! It has a water filter in the neck of it so you can put any kind of water and it filters it to taste like bottled water. There's two sizes to pick from. So you could fill it at home and bring a gallon jug to school or just use tap water at lunch to fill it. I love that thing.

Oh, I also bought an ice cube tray that makes ice for water bottles to keep it cold. Or, once I filled it a third and froze that over night and added more water in the morning. I also used a 20 Oz water bottle koozie to keep it cold during the day.

Best part, it doesn't leak!

Eta. I'm also a water snob and won't drink it if it tastes weird. Also photo.

We have one of these. It's ugly, but huge (70 ounces!) and keeps water super cold. I don't think ours has a straw though...

I have a camelback. I also have the same "no refill at school" rule. I fill my 32oz camelback, the. I bought a big gallon Deerpark water bottle. I fill that and bring it for refills. I find now that I bring a refill bottle, I drink a lot more water. I probably go through 3/4 of my refill bottle every day

I also love Camelbak. Mine have suffered so much abuse and are still in great condition.

This is the biggest one, 1L size. You could get 2 if 1L isn't big enough. The only time I've ever had problems with leaks is when I have put ice in the bottle and it melts, which affects the pressure in the bottle and makes the water come out the straw.

I love my Camelbak Eddy but use my 32oz Nalgene at work all day. I refill it multiple times though so if I were you, I'd buy a 60oz+ bottle like this instead: www.kleankanteen.com/products/wide-mouth-64oz?variant=860252555.

If you carry it around at all, I'd get something like a normal sized Eddy and refill it from the huge bottle.

DH bought me This water bottle from Under Armour.  It is awesome and keeps my water cold all day long.  It doesn't leak and it has held up t o being dropped many times.

I have a Sigg bottle at work and at home. It doesn't have a straw, but they might have other top types on the website. I like that they are stainless and not plastic.

Is it straw-like at the top?

Another camelback lover here. Mine goes with me everywhere. And C has a few child sized ones too:)

No, it does take getting used to. It's the kind you have to bite on to drink from, but it's great at preventing spills.

I have a blue Bubba that I got from Target. We also use Nalgene often, but I like the double layer of Bubba so it doesn't sweat. Not sure if this one would be big enough for you.

There is not a straw that goes to the bottom of the bottle.  You would have to tip it up to get the liquid out.
