Now I can refill from anywhere.

I can never seem to drink enough water. My kitchen fridge is too small to fit a standard water filter, and water from our tap isn’t as clean as I’d like to believe. Without readily available filtered water, I was barely drinking any fluids between meals, leading to afternoon fatigue and lightheadedness. In other words, I realized that I was chronically dehydrated. So, in search of a cost-effective, environmentally-friendly way to hydrate more, I snatched up Brita’s filtered water bottle—and I’m already drinking twice as much water as before.

Filtered water not only tastes better than water from the tap, but it can actually be healthier for you, too. Filters like this one from Brita remove potentially harmful chemicals and bacteria from your water, making it safer and more delicious to drink. While I could opt for a faucet or countertop filter in lieu of a bulky fridge dispenser, there’s something exceptionally convenient about this 26-ounce bottle’s portability and ease of use.

I love that Brita bottle has an activated filter built into its straw, eliminating impurities like chlorine as I’m out and about—whether that’s on a road trip, at the airport, or just walking around my neighborhood. That means I can refill it from any sink or water fountain and know that the water I’m sipping is clean and free of contaminants.

The soft straw is easy to sip from, naturally making me want to drink more water, and the protective, leakproof lid snaps on to keep the mouthpiece clean and stop liquid from escaping. Designed for those who are constantly on the move, the water bottle is narrow enough to fit in any car cup holder and even includes a built-in loop that makes it easy to tote around. I like to attach mine to a carabiner and hook it to my backpack during hikes and long walks. Best of all, the bottle is top-rack dishwasher safe, making it shockingly easy to keep clean.

If you, like me, are resolving to drink more water this year, the right reusable bottle is essential. Brita’s filtered water bottles let you refill from anywhere, and right now, they’re 38% off at Amazon.
