TakeToday Collapsible Water Bottles 20oz, Leak Proof, BPA-Free, Foldable Silicone Travel Water Bottle with Straw Strap for Cycling, Hiking, Outdoors

I bought this bottle to use on a bus tour of Spain and Portugal. It was so practical. Folds nice, seals great and never leaked. I took it hiking last week and the strap made it easy to carry. I followed the instructions to boil and used lemon juice as recommended. Water taste was fine. Folds easy, stores easy. Great bottle for travel.

These are great travel bottles. They easily fold up pretty small and held up well. They did not leak at all and was easy to drink from. However, if you tip it when it's open or squeeze it, the water will flow out around the straw. That is, when open, it will leak. The straw is optional but it works well. As for smell and taste, I followed their both of their suggestions in the package--I boiled them briefly and then also put lemon slices with water in them for a few hours. They have no taste at all on first and subsequent uses thereafter. These are a win!

Very functional, although it does not keep things cold. Sweats a lot with cold water. Smells good, tastes fine, it is very easy to carry and durable. The size is great for a daily use at work. The only reason I gave it 4 starts it is because it does not keep things cold and sweats a lot.

The media could not be loaded. Not to be dramatic, but this bottle is exactly what I’ve been searching for. I usually can’t stand most water bottles or tumblers — they’re bulky, heavy, or annoying to clean — but this one nails it.It’s collapsible, so I can toss it in my bag when I’m not using it. It’s lightweight, has a flexible straw, and it’s totally leak-proof — no spills, no stress.And the best part for me? It’s dishwasher safe! As someone who adds electrolyte powders daily (and is a bit of a germophobe), that’s been a total game changer.The black color also looks sleek — when it’s filled, it even gives the illusion of a solid bottle. Honestly, I’m tempted to buy one for everyone I know.

Overall this well made and will be great traveling, airports - avoid $8 water, etc. This is heavier than I expected and for the weight conscious backpacker, me, it’s not for backpacking. Day hikes yes

I bought these for a festival after going to one and having to play the game of refilling a disposable plastic water bottle. I was hoping to find something I could make fairly compact for travel and wouldn't be too bulky once it was filled up.I ended up buying 2 of these, one for myself and one for my husband. I kept the straw in because I am 100% a straw person, but my husband took his out. These were absolutely PERFECT for festival use. We washed them well before leaving home and didn't notice particular plastic/manufacturing taste when first using them. We could easily roll them up for travel/when we weren't using them at the festival, and we looped the trap through our clear festival crossbody bags to make them hands-free. I also bought carabiner straps in case we needed to use that to attach them a bag, gut didn't find it necessary to use them. Strap held them in play when they were empty or had water in them. They aren't insulated so they won't keep water a certain temperature, but that wasn't a priority for us. Straw worked perfectly and I didn't have any issues with it getting compressed or bent in a weird way after being folded up. They have held up through a 4-day festival and another hiking trip after that and seem to generally be good quality.In summary:- Design allows for easy travel & attachment to bags- No weird taste after a good initial wash- No leaking & easy to use flip cap that's fun to play with :)- Look nice & fun for festivals10/10 recommend

I got two of these for a trip to Peru. I wanted something that wouldn't take up as much room as a hard plastic or metal bottle. I got the straw version instead of the spout version because I figured it would be easier to use overall. There are three things that I noticed during the trip that made this an even better purchase. First, because the bottle is flexible, while everyone else's bottles were falling over on a train through the mountains this one did not. The flexible body let is just shake back and forth a bit but not fall over. Second, there are two slots down inside where the straw comes out. This did two things for me. The first was that it let me pour some water out without having to take off the lid. The second was that it let the air pressure equalize without forcing water to squirt out of the straw like several of my travel companions had to deal with. The bottle comes apart easily for cleaning and is more comfortable to carry that a hard water bottle that keeps banging into your hip or leg. I would definitely recommend this bottle and may even take it to use at work now that the trip is over.

I bought this when my Vapur collapsible bottle started leaking from the neck. I also got another Vapur but wanted to give this one a try as well and have really liked itWhen collapsed this isn't as small as the Vapur bottle, but it still packs down nicely. I've actually ended up preferring the rubbery material of this bottle as it can be squished into irregularly shaped spaces and is easy to grip when holding.I noticed people complaining about the mouth/straw "leaking" but I really don't see this as and issue. The gap around the straw allows you to drink from the mouth when tilting or use the straw with the bottle upright. It only leaks if you use the straw while the bottle is also upside down which seems like an odd thing to do. The lid lock is also appreciated, so this is not an issue with the lid closed.There is an initial plastic taste, but it went away after letting it soak and a couple of uses.
