A guest post from my daughter Sofia, who commandeered the b.box Insulated Flip Top Water Bottle immediately and has been inseparable from it since!
The b.box Insulated Flip Top Water Bottle range has a carefully crafted design, which consists of triple layer insulation, a stainless steel straw, a leakproof lid when closed, and a strong, sturdy yet flexible handle attached that allows you to transport the bottle with ease.
Customisation
The water bottle is available in two different capacities – 690ml and 1000ml/1L – and comes in a wide variety of colours. I selected ‘melon mist’, and the pink handle complements the peach colour of the main frame of the bottle wonderfully.

My Experience
At Home:
I am always told I use a large magnitude of glasses and it gets on everyone’s (especially my parents) nerves! This water bottle holds a high volume of water and it is extremely easy to clean, therefore I don’t need to use multiple drinking vessels every day which reduces the amount of washing up and energy used.
It is easy to fill and add things such as ice cubes, to decrease the temperature which is maintained.
Out and About:
As the water bottle keeps drinks cool for nearly two days it is perfect to take with you on the go; whether it’s going for a walk, a workout, to meet friends, to school, to work or simply travelling to a destination. Due to the secure lid attached, that doesn’t leak when closed, it can be stored in your bag and you don’t have to be worried about liquid coming into contact with your other possessions. Additionally, I find it extremely easy to carry by hand via the strong, flexible handle attached to the lid.
Having this bottle prevents purchases of single use plastic water bottles when out of the house – this is far superior economically and environmentally, plus they look stylish and smart.
To clean the bottle, you simply have to detach the stainless steel straw from the lid, so you can clean every part; the main frame of the bottle has a large circumference so it is easy to clean thoroughly as a sponge can fit inside.
How Does it Compare to Other Water Bottles?
A popular brand that sells drinking vessels is Stanley. One model of a tumbler they sell is £45 and has a capacity of 800ml, whereas the b.box Flip Top Water Bottle has a capacity of 1000ml and is only £32.99. It is less expensive and can store a higher volume of water! Furthermore, I believe that the b.box Flip Top Water Bottle is more elegant with rounded, less harsh edges, a shape that is not boxlike and a handle that is not a rigid structure, fixed to the main frame; it can bend, which allows the user to carry it more freely. Both contain stainless steel and a reusable straw.
Overall thoughts on the b.box Insulated Flip Top Water Bottle
This water bottle is functional, stylish and customised. It has improved my levels of hydration due to its practicality and simplicity as well as making water more appealing to drink by keeping it cool for up to 46 hours. Overall, I believe anyone looking to improve their hydration or to have a practical vessel for water on the go that is extremely reliable, should purchase this water bottle.
It is perfect for the current heatwave and is available on amazon.
