KemierCollapsible Silicone Water Bottles-750ML,Medical Grade,BPA Free Travel Water Bottle Can Roll Up,26oz,Leak Proof Foldable Sports & Outdoor Water Bottles

I had previously had a silicone water bottle that I traveled with, but needed a new one and couldn't be happier with buying this one. Vibrant color. Tab enables you to fold it down when empty. Secure top that prevents leaks. Easy to fill. Easy to clean. Good capacity. No mess when drinking from it. Carabiner to connect to backpack. Just came back from Bermuda where I took this perfect water bottle with me everyday everywhere I went.

Great travel water bottle. I used this for a festival. The only issue I had was that you had to be careful holding the bottle while filling it with water due to it being collapsible, it was a little flimsy. I also had a hard time figuring out how to drink from the bottle at first, but this may be user error lol.

I read many product reviews of various foldable silicone travel bottles. This rose above all of them, and even more so once I received and used it. The BEST FEATURE (which most others don’t have - and maybe NO others) is the air pressure release valve. This allows for a quick intake of air when the bottle naturally deflates as you suck in the liquid, and further allows for the bottle to be able to stand upright once again, rather than having to loosen the cap and retighten it for the same effect. It’s also useful when folding up the bottle to push the air out. Even the little strap that keeps the bottle folded when empty has a tiny protrusion on the end for easy rethreading if it slips out of the notch on the cap. Another plus is the attached cap cover that has a silicone patch on the inside top that connects to the mouthpiece/straw which prevents the liquid from leaking out when not in use. Further, some reviewers complained of a silicone smell but I did not have that experience . Although I knew this was not a thermal bottle, it met my needs fully, otherwise, and I highly recommend it!

Likes:- space saving roll up w/ tie to keep tight- vacuum release feature- versatility of drinking method (squeeze/ squirt, suck/pull). I like pulling the water, my kids like crushing plastic waterbottles as they drink. If one of them forgets their waterbottle, the other can use theirs as a water fountain/hose/ sports bottle so they don’t share "cooties" lol.- D ring comes in handy, as does the flip up/down carry handle- slim enough to fit in cupholders- condensation doesn't seem to be a problem- leak proof- easy to clean- simple lock hinge, button release- colors are fantastic.Dislikes:- Taste. I've washed, scrubbed, soaked, boiled, used various (lemon, baking soda, vinegar) in attempt to neutralize the odd taste but it just won't go away. It's a weird powdery taste. That can't be healthy.- all plastic top. It's weirdly rigid in contrast to the rest, and I just don't really like drinking straight from plastic. Also, if you are a /have chewers, this gets booggered up easily.- ergonomics (or lack there of) of the top.1. The lid goes back far enough so it doesn't interfere with drinking, but it doesn't stay there - it whacks you in the face as soon as you lean back to take a sip.2. The mouth opening is oval, and the top of the nozzle is slanted, so the only angle you can drink from is the front, with the lid in the middle front to fall back on your nose. Any other angle is awkward and usually results in spilling because of the shape of the mouthpiece.3. Too much touching of the face. You smoosh your nose into the vacuum release button every time you drink, and your chin touches the front button latch. And the lid thwacks you in the face. Not only just annoying, this causes acne, and your water bottle top gets dirtier.4. The mouth opening is both too large and too small. Larger than what is comfortable to put your lips around, and smaller than what is comfortable to put your lips inside. If the sides of the nozzle were tapered, that would be preferable, but even just smaller would make more sense.Would be thrilled if they would make some improvements here. Would be great if there was more space in the top, and why not just use a silicone mouthpiece???

The media could not be loaded. I mostly wanted to talk about the smell some have been complaining about because I found a solution to it!In brief, the bottle works as intended, holds liquids well, and has overall good design. Water can come out but only if you are squeezing hard while shaking it (that’s obvious).I have a suggestion about getting rid of the odor in case anyone would like to try it! The seller suggested boiling in water for 5 minutes, I did this first but I also added salt to the boiling pot. Of course, the scent was still there. But I think it’s good to boil down silicone to get rid of the lingering coats of stuff on it.Second, I did the green tea suggestion. I placed two green tea bags in the bottle and I poured boiled water all the way to the brim. I then closed it, shook it lightly so it could also get to the lid, and let it sit for about 2 1/2 hours. It still had a plastic aroma but it seemed like the green tea scent stuck in as well.The last step is Dawn dish soap. Dawn really helps with tough odors. I covered the bottom of the bottle with the soap and I poured room temp water into it up to the brim. I let it sit for about 26-27 hours and I rinsed it out/washed it. Now it smells like mostly green tea but also a bit of the aroma that comes with the soap.Today I checked on it again and the scents seem to be fading. Because it is silicone, I think it’s normal for there to be some kind of scent, but at least now it’s barely noticeable!
