18oz Collapsible Water Bottle

While we were going to use it for water on the beach, we ended up using for our pool side drinks and as it got low, we collapsed the bottle, closed the top and continued with activity, and refilled again. Convient, less bulk, bug resistant, and spill proof. However, the downside was it was flimsy and do not maintain the coolness of the beverage. Therefore, whatever was needed to be consumed, needed to be done soon, otherwise enjoy environment temperature. Unique item received many complements. We did fill it before boarding plane also, which was great because we had to stay on the plane extra time and still had beverage with us.

This collapsible water bottle has survived a Disney/Universal trip not once, but TWICE (August 2023 and August 2024). If you’re looking for a lightweight, collapsible, and practical water bottle, look no further. I kept it clipped onto my crossbody while in the Parks and I’m so grateful that I had it.

Took this bottle on a trip to Universal Studios in hopes of keeping hydrated. The bottle is especially nice because you can squish it down when not in use. Be sure to wash the bottle thoroughly at least once, maybe even twice before use to get some of the plasticy silicone taste off of the inside, but after cleaning, I didn't notice any unusual tastes when drinking water out of the bottle. I didn't try any other liquids so I can't say whether or not the bottle holds on to any other flavors, but it worked great for water. One very minor quibble, when the bottle is full, it doesn't like to stand up nicely and will usually just fall over. The included clip can help with that though. When full, the sides are very squishy and it's best to use two hands when drinking, otherwise the end will just flop over the end of your hand. This bottle got a lot of use at Universal though, and it kept going strong for me all week.Fun side note, as long as you're only getting ice and water, nearly all of the Coke Freestyle machines in Universal/IoA will let you do just that for free. Some of the coldest and most refreshing water in the parks.

The media could not be loaded.  Reviews of the smell and taste after initially opening the bottle are correct. It feels like it is coated in a powder and even after multiple washes the smell and weird taste still lingers. More washes and drying the bottle helps. Using the bottle helps as well. I also used the filtered water I was going to drink to vigorously rinse/wash the inside of the bottle. Full expanded and trying to rinse all compartments. When I did that, I saw a lot of milkyish residue come out. And the weird taste and smell dramatically reduced. Hoping with prolong usage, that will no longer be an issue. There is no structure to the bottle (as it needs to collapse) so be careful when filling the bottle with water. Takes time to get used to drinking from it with the lack of bottle structure. Easy to collapse/bend with water in it as well. When this occurs, water does spill out. Do not try to change the shape of the bottle with the cap on. Will mis-shapen bottle. Collapsing and expanding bottle should be done with bottle cap open. I really appreciate that it’s light weight and ability to collapse and take up less space when needed. Fits in the bottle holder in my bag and comes with the clip that can be placed on my keychain or pant loop. I’m excited to use it for hiking and traveling.10/2/22 Update: The company reached out and this is what they said. Hope that helps.About Taste or Smell - Our water bottle is made of BPA FREE material, and passed certification of Food and Drug Administration in America. Please do not worry about its safety. If possible, please wash the bottle thoroughly with purified water. The water in the ordinary water pipe generally contains bleach substances or similar disinfection components, due to the particularity of the silica gel material, its molecular structure will adsorb some other substances in the water, which may appear as you see the white powder. The silicone material has very good stability, these white powders are not the material of the water bottle itself, you can rinse it directly, so please don't worry. Here are some advice to get rid of the silicone smell. Please add some dishwashing liquid or lemon slice in BOILED WATER, immerse the whole bottle and its cap in the water for 2 hours, then wash the bottle with clean water completely.

Edit: after my original review (below) was posted, the seller promptly reached out to offer a full refund. I accepted and received my full refund soon after. This is still a bad product, but the seller gets 5 stars. I would consider purchasing other things from them.Original review: I wanted to love this water bottle but it just wasn’t for me. I got this for my trip to Universal and Disney, thinking it would save space and be convenient for water refills. Folded up, it’s small and convenient, and the carabiner attached nicely to my fanny pack. Unfortunately that’s the only nice thing. Upon receiving, I submerged in boiling water for a few minutes to clean it, as some other reviews suggested. However, the bottle still made the water taste gross. Like I felt like I was just drinking plastic. It was so bad I ended up not using it at all and just used disposable cups instead, which I don’t love for sustainability reasons. Additionally, when the bottle is extended it gets really floppy, and I ended up spilling water everywhere. Overall, I do not recommend. It was essentially useless. Even if it wasn’t floppy, the taste of the water was unbearable. Super disappointing because I loved the concept and really wanted this bottle to work.

I was confused about the images indicating there were two products, but I'm fine with the one I had anticipated, please disregard my previous review, cheers all

It’s perfect for our needs….

Taking it on vacation

La vdd es relativamente práctica pero si ocupa espacio, en una cangurera NO entra.Si la recomiendo :)

El agua sabe terriblemente a plástico.

La botella es buena y resistente, sin embargo la he lavado muchas veces, pero cuando le pongo agua, el agua se impregna con sabor a plástico muy desagradable, llevo varias semanas con la botella y aún no he logrado quitarle el sabor
