It comes in three sizes—24, 32 and 40 ounces—in various bright colors. The bottle is made of food-grade stainless steel, and the cap and straw are made from BPA-free plastic. When testing this water bottle, we found that the lid is easy to screw on and off, and we love that the spout flips up with the push of a tab. Rolling it around in a sandpit did allow some grains to get under the flip lid, but these were easily brushed off without much fuss. The smaller sizes fit in most cupholders, whether you're sipping in the car or on an exercise bike. But like Owala's FreeSip, SimpleModern's water bottle is meant for cold drinks only. For hot drinks, try investing in a high-quality insulated tumbler.

Like Owala's FreeSip, this water bottle from SimpleModern is also leakproof. But we recommend it as the best leakproof option because it's more budget-friendly, comes in more sizes, and has a classic straw lid design, if the FreeSip's chug spout option isn't for you.

The best reusable water bottles for 2023 are:

It doesn't have many difficult-to-reach nooks and crannies so it can be cleaned easily in a dishwasher or a sink. It also survived our tough drop test with only superficial scratches.

Finding a glass water bottle with a straw can be difficult, but we think we've found the ideal solution in this option from BLUEGO. The wide mouth is large enough for adding your favorite ice, fruit, or other flavorings. We also love that it has a silicone sleeve to protect it from impact, so you can toss it in a bag or your passenger seat without a second thought. A leakproof lid keeps your gym bag and other essentials protected, while a stretchy carrying loop makes it easy to bring this bottle with you on the go. Plus, it's BPA-free, so you can sip knowing you're limiting any potential exposure. Although it isn't insulated, we think the overall value you get for the price is worth the trade-off. Otherwise though, this bottle is quite easy to clean and came out almost spotless when we cleaned it in a dishwasher and washed it by hand in a sink. Still, we appreciate the bottle's modern design, which comes in a few stylish, muted colors. It offers two middle-of-the-road sizes, 20 and 32 ounces—enough to keep you hydrated all day long. Just note that it's hand wash only and can't go in the dishwasher.Water bottles with straws are made with various materials, including plastic, glass, and stainless steel. If you're looking for the most lightweight option, you may want to choose a BPA-free plastic water bottle, like Contigo's Ashland 2.0 Leak-Proof Water Bottle. Stainless steel options (like Owala's FreeSip Water Bottle) have better insulation and can keep your favorite drinks hot or cold for hours. For an environmentally-friendly bottle that doesn't hold onto smells or tastes, try glass—we recommend BLUEGO's 64oz Glass Water Bottle. When you want the durability and safety of stainless steel, we recommend this water bottle from Hydro Flask. It will keep hot or cold drinks at the desired temperature for hours. Seriously, hours: up to six hours for hot drinks and 24 hours for cold drinks. Our verdict: Although children will love the design, we found a number of issues with this Nuby water bottle during testing. Our verdict: It's a well designed leakproof bottle available in a variety of fun colourful designs. At the end of the testing period, we give each water bottle a score of 1 (would not recommend) to 5 (would recommend) in each of the key categories listed above. We also take the bottles home so we can continue to test them—we'll update this story with new insights as we use them in our daily routines.

It comes in several sizes and an array of colors. A carrying clip is built into the cap so you can easily take it on the go. The price is right, too, as you can score the 24-ounce model for less than half the price of other bottles on our list. Both of our three-year-old and five-year-old testers were able to fill and tighten up this bottle without it leaking. It also came out completely clean from the dishwasher, and again when we washed it in a sink, with no tough-to-reach spots where dirt and bacteria could be left to linger. We also like that the triple-layered insulation keeps beverages hot for up to 12 hours or cold for up to 24. Leakproof and shatterproof, it's sturdy enough to withstand constant use. And the carrying handle on the straw lid is a nice, convenient touch.There are also lots of nooks and crannies that dirt or sand can get wedged in, something we found when we rolled this bottle around in a sandpit. Unlike other plastic bottles, we love that this one is dishwasher-safe. No more fiddling around with long brushes or sponges—just toss the parts in, close the door, and let the machine do the work. We also like that there's a lid for the straw, which sets Pogo's bottle apart from others on our list.
