Owala Water Bottles Possibly Only $5 at Walmart (In-Store Only) | Team & Reader Fave

When I saw the built-in straw, I knew I wanted to try this water bottle, and I’m so glad I did. I picked up my first one a couple of years ago, and it quickly became my go-to bottle. My husband saw me using it so frequently that he decided he wanted one. Then a few weeks later we saw that Sam’s had the 32oz 2-Packs on sale (unfortunately they’re no longer in-stock). Now I may grab even more for soccer, keeping refills in the car, and even pouring fresh, cold water for our pup when we travel.

The built-in straw is truly awesome. You can just lift and sip, but nothing is jutting out to jab you in the teeth, and even better, because nothing protrudes, there’s nothing to break from the constant bending of the bottle closing, being chewed on by young kiddos, etc. Plus, you don’t have to worry about trapped mold or other cleaning issues. Don’t want to sip? You can tilt a little further and you’re drinking out of it like any other beverage container. The little handle is substantial enough that you can easily carry it but also folds down to be out of the way when not being used.

We now have two of the 32oz bottles and four of the 24oz bottles in various colors. They’re my daughter’s favorite for school, and both my husband and I have one in hand almost all the time – including the car, where the 24oz does fit our cupholders! I also did pick up one of the new Owala 40oz stainless steel tumblers – it’s the same quality I’ve always loved about Owala, and super easy to just grab and drink.

I love these too and have bought 3 of the 24 oz and 2 of the 32 oz and love that I can drink from the straw in a way no cup/water bottle has ever done. HOWEVER, that being said, just know they are awesome to take to the airport and fill at the water station after TSA checkpoint and they won’t leak on the plane BUT they didn’t fit into any of the rental car cup holders (24 oz) and we’ve used them for four different trips. It doesn’t fit in my husband’s Nissan Sentra but it does fit in my Dodge Grand Caravan (which has more generous cup holders). I only mention this because I have to have a drink with me at all times so I use them in the car every time I go out. I only take my Owala when I am using my van and never in the sedan because then it has to roll around on the floor since it doesn’t fit the cup holder. As much as I hoard every kind of stainless steel tumbler and bottle, these are still my all-time favorite! – Hip2Save reader CJ

These are my favorites! We used them at Disney World when we went in April. Then when Sam’s Club had the 2-pack special, I bought everyone in the family some. The 24 oz fits in my car cup holder, but the 32 oz doesn’t. But I just throw it on the passenger seat or in my tote because they’re leakproof. These are by far my favorite. I even was able to snag one of those Stanley tumblers, but the Owala is still my favorite. – Hip2Save reader Debbie
