Keeping yourself hydrated is one of the most essential things you can do for yourself. And while staying hydrated these days is super easy with the huge range of disposable water bottles, the use of reusable water bottles seems like the most reasonable solution there is in the world.

Drinking water from a reusable water bottle is as healthy and tasty as drinking one from a bottled disposable water bottle. Plus it’s better for the environment since you’ll be using the same bottle countless times. Each refill of your bottle means that less pollution is made on the environment, not only by throwing the bottle but also by producing one.

Buying a reusable water bottle costs less than buying a disposable water bottle, plus it’s handier since you can refill it anywhere you want without having to spend more money. And while reusable water bottles in the past were a bit bulky, nowadays, you can enjoy the handiness and convenience coming out of flat water bottles.

The truth about the traditional round water bottles is that they’re a bit bulky and not space-savvy at all. Luckily, now, you have the chance to choose from a large selection of flat water bottles which are easy to carry and use. A flat drink bottle is a fun and practical bottle that’ll help you obtain the needed amount of H2O when on the go or even at home. Even though flat, these water bottles also allow for being washed in the dishwasher which is a property that makes them more convenient than they are.

Just like any other water bottle, these ones also come in different sizes in order to allow you to choose the right size for your needs. Usually, these bottles are made from safe and BPA-free transparent plastic which makes them an even more convenient choice. Depending on the manufacturer, they can come in different colours, models and sizes, and some of them can even be wrapped with a silicone sleeve for a more chic and stylish look. Just like the bottle itself, the used sleeve silicone can also be food-safe, meaning that it’s safe to use and safe for the environment in case you decide to throw it in case it’s worn out.

Unlike traditional round bottles which are impossible to sit and fit in most places, the design of slim water bottles makes them easy to fit alongside your laptop, notebook or lunchbox. Some of them are small enough to fit in the back pocket of your pants/jeans which is something that cannot be done if using round water bottles.

This might seems like one of the easiest things you can do, but the truth is that it can be a bit difficult. Even though these bottles are slim enough to fit simply in most bags, their size can mainly depend on your daily needs and schedule. While larger water bottles can collect more water, they’re more suitable to carry when going somewhere over longer distances. Otherwise, you’ll be good by choosing a medium-sized flat drink bottle since it's more compact and lightweight.

Since the most basic purpose of water bottles is to carry and transport water and other liquids, it would be more than understandable to choose a water bottle with a sturdy and leak-proof lid. The latter is fundamental, especially when planning to carry your bottle alongside your personal belongings in your bag. For that reason, you should choose a flat bottle that comes with a sturdy and durable lid/cap that’s reinforced with a reliable silicon seal. Some of these bottles may also come with different lids/caps that you can change according to your personal mood.

Generally speaking, almost most of these bottles are made with narrower mouths since it’s easier to drink from. They’re also less likely to splash down your face even when drinking while walking. However, there are still some bottles available with wider mouths since some people find them more convenient. Drinking from them while on the go can become a real hassle, so you should carefully consider which one would be best for your needs.

As already mentioned, these water bottles are available in numerous designs, colours, features and materials, which explains the fact why you should do thorough research. The chosen bottle shouldn’t be only slim enough, but it also needs to be made of materials that are safe to use. It should also be dishwasher safe, and able to carry both colder and warmer beverages. Ideally, you should look for such bottles that come from a trusted and reputable manufacturer as this is the only way to be sure that you’ll get the best of both worlds – quality and longevity.
