How long have you had your current water bottle? (lemmy.one)

I've been using a reusable 36oz/1L plastic "flip lid" bottle from Bezos's market - this is my third one (sadly replaced almost on a yearly basis) since I keep accidentally breaking the lids.

It practically comes everywhere with me - walking, cycling, in my backpack. This lid is starting to crack at the hinge and the latch though, but don't really want to replace it with the same thing again.

How long have you had you had your current bottle, and how are you finding it so far?

Get a good stainless one. Something with a wide mouth so it’s easy to clean, and from a good name like HydroFlask, Yeti, or Simple|Modern.

They are (mostly) dishwasher safe and they hold up forever. My yeti tumblers get used nearly every day for almost three years, get loaded into the dishwasher, and just show a little finish wear from scraping it with my keys or my wedding band.

My kids use Simple|Modern bottles and they hold up quite a bit more. The kid-style prints don’t last as long, especially with kids that drop and scrape them all the time. I have a SM one too (larger one) that has held up pretty good so far (and uses the same lids as the kids, but I’ve only got a year or two on it.
