I purchased a number of Stanley tumblers earlier than the Goal craze was a factor, as a result of I wished to see if the TikTok hype was true. Up to now, I’ve tried a number of fashionable water bottles, together with an hourly motivational bottle, which received me to drink extra water for perhaps three days, and I’ve tried utilizing solely disposable water bottles to maintain depend — I do know, unhealthy for the setting. However nothing ever sticks, and I am again to chugging water at night time to catch up. However the cup that I’ve really caught with, as a result of it makes it straightforward to gulp water on the go, is the 30-ounce Stanley tumbler.
I purchased three totally different sizes of Stanley tumblers to attempt, from Amazon — the 14-ounce in charcoal ($20), 30-ounce in cream ($35) and 40-ounce in orchid ($45) — and there is a clear winner. Although the 40-ounce would most likely be my cup of alternative, I usually need to lug round my 23-pound, energetic toddler, which suggests I want one thing lighter to place my water in. That very same toddler is all the time following me round, so always refilling the 14-ounce bottle can also be out of the query — plus it does not have a deal with, which is inconvenient. The deal with is unquestionably a recreation changer.
That leaves the Goldilocks of the group: the 30-ounce Stanley tumbler. It is mild, suits in my automobile’s cupholder and is insulated with chrome steel, so I can use it to maintain my water chilly or my espresso scorching. I as soon as left my Stanley tumbler, full of ice water, within the automobile throughout an 89-degree day, and the water was nonetheless chilly after I received again hours later.
The one draw back I’ve discovered is that when the straw is within the cup, there isn’t any technique to make the cup leak-proof. So when my 9-month-old will get ahold of my cup, he spills water throughout himself. The straw is detachable, however I favor to make use of it, as a result of it makes ingesting water simpler (in my view).
