I am a total water addict – I drink it all day, every day, and I am very particular about the way I like it. When I am thirsty, I want my water cold, cold, cold. A few months ago, my sister told me about this magic accessory that was the answer to all my prayers – seriously. My S’well bottle has come with me everywhere since the day I bought it and I don’t think I will ever drink out of anything else. To say my S’well bottle was my favorite accessory of the Summer would be the understatement of the century.
So basically, this bottle, which comes in all different sizes and colors, is made of double-insulated stainless steel that keeps your beverage either freezing cold for up to 24 hours or piping hot for up to 12 hours. Whatever temperature your beverage is when you put it into the bottle is the temperature it will stay. This summer, my favorite thing to do with mine was take it to the pool with me so that I could have freezing cold water no matter how hot it was outside. Gone are the days of having to quench your thirst with hot water from your plastic bottle or wrapping up your Thermos in 1,000 towels in hopes of shielding it from the sun, only to find lukewarm water 10 minutes later. You can leave your S’well in direct sunlight and it will not heat the water – it is total sorcery in the best way possible. Also, I know I cannot be the only one who loves cold water first thing in the morning. All I do is fill up my S’well bottle at night before bed and I know when I wake up in the morning, my water will be just as cold as the moment it left the refrigerator’s water dispenser. Now that Fall and Winter are just around the corner, I will probably be using my S’well for all those yummy hot drinks that keep me toasty from the inside out.
If I had to come up with one con for the S’well, it would be that it is not dishwasher safe. I am a huge fan of anything machine washable because I’m a total clean freak. That small detail aside, the S’well has been really easy to hand wash and it’s a total non-factor considering how much I love everything else about it. I currently have my S’well in the white color and 17 ounce size. It’s been the perfect size for me – light enough to carry around with me on errands but large enough to carry enough water for me while I’m on-the-go. For my next S’well bottle, I have my eye on the entire Metallic Collection, especially the yellow gold.
Have you tried the S’well bottle? Do you love it as much as I do?
I have no idea why I never thought of using a thermal bottle for morning cold water. I’m embarassed to say this is a revelation. Thanks Lauren.
Hahah! Happy to help, Brock. Enjoy your new refreshing A.M. beverage!
I purchased my Swell bottle (dark forest) 2 weeks ago and so far so good! I use mine primarily in the gym and hoping 1 day they will make a top that is a sport top with a flip up mouthpiece.
I want to get away from plastic throw away water bottles.
PS I love love the no condensation exterior!
Love that, Jeannine! Cold water during a workout is THE best.
I totally agree – I am waiting for them to come up with a lid alternative as well. I’ll be buying that for sure.
So happy you love your S’well as much as I do!
It took me forever to decide which would be my first exterior choice. I conferred with my daughter and it was between the teak and dark forest. I do like the metallic collection which are priced a bit higher! And since I opted to purchase the larger size bottle I went with the slightly less expensive model. In the end for me it was truly getting away from plastic, enjoying cold water throughout my workout and then of course looking good carrying my bottle😉
Beautycounter introduced me to Swell last spring as CA is always ahead of Florida, right? I LOVE drinking from a safe container and the best is that my water stays cold even when I leave it in my car running in and out of appointments all day. Love your insight and your Beauty Lauren! xx
I am so happy you love your S’well as much as I do, Rox! That’s one of my favorite features as well – always knowing my water is safe to drink no matter how long it’s been in the bottle.
Thank you for reading!
I too love my Swell bottle! I have the white one and use it for my cold coffee drink every day, it stays so cold. I would like to see a dishwasher safe version and a flip top would be great too. Love your insight and following you on your journey Lauren!
Such a good idea! I am sure it is great for iced coffee. Thanks so much, Patti!
