The Secret to Drinking Enough Water? It's All in the Bottle
by Tehrene Firman, TEEN VOGUE
Prepare to be amazed.
You’ve probably heard it a billion and a half times: Drink eight glasses of water a day and you’ll feel more energized, satisfied, and prepared to conquer whatever crosses your path (plus your skin will look ah-mazing). But for whatever reason, chugging down those two liters of h2o in 24-hours is pretty much mission impossible.
Well, we’ve got good news: Drinking enough water really is easy—you just have to make it fun. We know, we know…but hear us out. If you have a regular glass of water in front of you (read: boring), it almost feels daunting and takes longer to get down. We pulled together some options that will make you actually look forward to your next gulp. Promise.
The Pretty Bottle: BKR
You know how getting cute new workout clothes actually makes you want to go to the gym? That’s kind of how drinking water works, too. It seems silly, but when you have a bottle you want to make googly eyes at all day long, there’s a 99.9% chance you’ll use it a lot more often. That’s where BKR comes in. These pastel-colored glass + silicone bottles not only keep your water nice and chilly, but they’re also incredibly easy on the eyes. The real question is how could you not carry this thing around with you all day?

The Bottle That Gets the Job Done: CamelBak
Having a pretty bottle is great, but if you’re also just wanting something sturdy and convenient, the CamelBak is calling your name. This Eddy .75L bottle is the closest thing we’ve ever come to experiencing magic by way of a rubber straw: All you do is fill it, flip the straw up, bite down, and sip. For some reason, it makes you almost forget you’re actually drinking water; we can’t even count the number of times we made it to the bottom without realizing it, and that’s gold when it comes to trying to get in the recommended daily intake.

The Bottle That Changes the Game: Define Bottle
If you’re not the biggest water fan in the world due to the bland taste, we don’t blame you…because it really doesn’t have one. Thankfully, infusing fruit and veggies is an option, but it’s always a struggle to hydrate without ending up with soggy strawberries in your mouth. But thanks to a genius 15-year-old dude who had a brilliant idea, Define Bottle solves that problem: He created a bottle with a strainer that allows us to sip without the fear of swallowing a surprise cucumber chunk. And for that, we are truly grateful.
Give one of these solutions a try and we can guarantee you’ll be feeling fabulous (and hydrated!) in no time.
