It’s perfect for monitoring my 12 year old sons water intake. His goal is 64 oz a day. He does 32 from 9-2:15 during school. And easily another 32 from 3:30-9:00pm. It made it very attainable for him to reach his goal.
I bought myself this water bottle after I continually stole my husbands, it is the best lid and all around water bottle I've encountered. I'll probably grab another one so I have the full rainbow available.
I bought this bottle to encourage myself to be more diligent and systematic about my water intake... and it is EFFECTIVE. The spout lid is very comfortable to drink from, and you still have the option of filling and mixing from the wide neck. The bottle keeps drinks hot or cold throughout the day (like, literally, 12 hours and counting), and the ring attachment makes it easy to transport. Of course, the 32-oz size does not fit in any cup holder conveniently, but that comes with the territory. Finally, my 2 year-old LOVES to bang this thing around, but the rubber bottom has kept it from suffering any damage. It is a fabulous, well-conceived bottle all around.
So I have a friend that uses a Takeya water bottle for her job, and I needed one to stay hydrated at my own job so I bought this one to give it a try. It's perfect! Very heavy-duty and still able to hold the vinyl stickers I collect on it's surface to give it some flair. It keeps my water cool for most of the day and (so far) has not picked up any odd flavors if I add a dash of lemon juice or cucumber to my water. If I had to say something negative about it, it would only be that the lid and mouth piece cap aren't easy to clean without getting some small water bottle brushes to get in there and scrub with. It's also hard to get the rubber seals in and out to clean. But overall it's worth that little bit of work it takes to hand wash. I highly recommend a Takeya for on the job or workout!
