S'well Water Bottle Review

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

One cannot deny the importance of drinking lots of water, and, in fact, I listed it among the Top 20 Beauty Resolutions to Live By in 2016. However, it is likely one of the many resolutions that fall by the wayside as the year gets underway. I, for one, am not a big fan of using plastic water bottles, but all of the metal water bottles that I have don't keep my water cold all day long. Furthermore, they have a tendency to create condensation which is counterproductive when I am carrying water in my work bag filled with papers and books. I leave early in the morning, spend all day on campus, and then drive home and sit in rush hour traffic, and my water usually ends up lukewarm early in the day.

This all changed when my sister introduced me to S'well Water Bottles, and it immediately became abundantly clear that this gorgeous water bottle was one of the smartest investments, and most pragmatic choices that I have made this year!

S'well Water Bottles are ingeniously made from BPA-free, double-walled stainless steel that is so well insulated that it keeps liquids cold for 24 hours, and hot for 12 hours. They are so well insulated that no matter how cold the liquid inside, there is absolutely no condensation outside. I purchased the 25 oz. size so that I wouldn't have to refill my bottle as frequently, but you might prefer the 17 oz. size because it a bit smaller to tote around. However, I definitely think that the 9 oz. is a little too small for the purposes of staying hydrated throughout the day.

According to S'well,

In 2010, S'well was launched with a mission to rid the world of plastic bottles. With your continued support, we are doing just that! Every day, walking around the city I love, I see New Yorkers carrying the one thing S'well dreads the most — the plastic bottle. In the US alone, an estimated 50 billion plastic bottles are dumped in landfill sites each year, and over 200 billion globally.

When developing and designing the S'well bottle, we aimed to create a beautifully crafted bottle that keeps drinks cold for 24 hours and hot for 12, while also giving back to those in need. At S'well, we understand it's important to be part of the solution, which is why we're proud to partner with our many charity partners: we are working towards bettering our environment and communities around the world, one S'well bottle at a time.

Features:

• Bottle may be used as a water bottle or to hold other beverages.
• Made of 18/8 double-walled stainless steel.
• Nontoxic, non-leaching, and BPA free.
• Hand-painted.
• Mouth wide enough for ice cubes and drip-free sipping.
• Vacuum sealed; keeps drinks cold for 24 hours, hot for 12.
• Fits standard-size cup holder.

They come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, and are available in 3 sizes (25 oz, 17 oz. and 9 oz.). While they are by no means the least expensive water bottles on the market, I assure that they will last a very very long time, and are worth every penny.

Overall Assessment: This is the smartest purchase that I have made in a long time, and it definitely has encouraged me to drink a lot more water! If you are looking for a new water bottle that keeps liquids hot or cold for an unprecedented period of time, is user-friendly, doesn't create condensation on the outside of the bottle, and comes in a gorgeous array of colors and patterns– then look no further than S'well!
