I’ve been using a reusable 36oz/1L plastic “flip lid” bottle from Bezos’s market - this is my third one (sadly replaced almost on a yearly basis) since I keep accidentally breaking the lids.
It practically comes everywhere with me - walking, cycling, in my backpack. This lid is starting to crack at the hinge and the latch though, but don’t really want to replace it with the same thing again.
How long have you had you had your current bottle, and how are you finding it so far?
Bought my current Simple Modern 24oz steel double-wall insulated water bottle over four years ago. I buy silicone sleeves for it to keep it from making too much noise and from being banged up, and I have bought many replacement lids (I prefer flip-top lids and they’re prone to breaking), but the bottle itself has been my constant companion over these four years.
It keeps ice water so damn cold all day long. I love it dearly. It is my emotional support water bottle and it supports me emotionally.
I got a new one as a gift last Christmas but I used my last bottle for 7 years, still in great condition. New one is insulated and has a straw which I’ve been enjoying.
1.5l SIGG for about 20 years.

Had it for little over a year now. Use it every day. The paint is chipping here and there, but functionally it is as good as new.
Just reminded me to replace the one I have. Bought it at Decathlon, one of their store brands. It has a cap with an opening mechanism which didn’t last for very long - like 4 months of daily use.
I will lose every water bottle that I brought out of my home, so I just reuse the bottles of bottled waters. If I dont lose it, I will replace it every 3-5 months depends on the usage and weather.
I have couple durable, metal, and dishwasher-safe stanley and hydroflask bottles at home. They should be couple years old, but I am not keeping count.
I got an aluminium one off Ali Express with a metal unscrewable lid, because my previous metal water bottle which was meant to last me forever, had a plastic lid which broke. I’ve had it for many years now, and it’s fine. A bit dented.
I recently bought a Sistema 500ml vacuum flask for like, $10 on a ridiculous special. It has plastic parts in the lid, but seems to be of decent strength. I really like it, I fill it with boiling water and then top up my tea for a few hours with hot water.
I’ve got a ~20oz Yeti vacuum stainless bottle with the small-opening screw-on top. I think I’ve used it for, maybe 5 years at this point? A long while. It’s the right size for casual carrying at work and school, but I use a bigger non-insulated body when doing physical labor.
That poor yeti gets bounced off the back of ATV’s, thrown in toolboxes, left baking in the car, all sorts of shit. It’s dinged up and doesn’t sit flat on a table but still doesn’t leak so it keeps going.
7 years I think. Big chunky metal thing.
I’ve got several ikea glass water bottles because i tend to forget where they are. They’re pretty simply made (glass bottle, plastic cap, silicone ring) and therefore easy to clean.
They’ve held up well for a few months now.
Maybe six months. I had a flip-top one for a few years, but I wanted a wide mouth
Back in 2009, I went disc golfing with a friend and while walking back to the car, I saw a dark blue nalgene in the grass. I was poor and in college and had always wanted a nalgene bottle, so I took it.
Today at work, I filled that dark blue nalgene up with water and drank the whole 32 oz over the course of the day.
its been a great water bottle for these past 14 years.
I have nalgene bottles older than my kids!
I have bought 5 in my lifetime, the first 3 were lost (stolen) over the course of several years of use. Even though they had my name in sharpie, stickers making it clearly unique… they just seemed to get lost at events with lots of people. Then I bought two bright pink ones and somehow have not “lost” them since!
I promise I didn’t steal yours! It was completely bare haha
I bought a Hydroflask 6 years ago. It’s got a small dent on the base that makes it not sit perfectly flat. It’s bright green and I love it.
I have a SodaStream, including three glass and one plastic bottle. I think I had it for… 3 years now? Including that set of bottles.
I have a 1L TAL bottle from Wally World. I’ve had it about 3 years. Granted I don’t use it much. I use it when I go deep forest fishing. I fill it up with water and ice. Then clip it to my backpack tackle box. The poor bastard is beat to hell. It’s dented and some of the paint has chipped off where the dents are. But it holds water, and keeps it cold.
