I am very particular about my water bottles. I've tried many different water bottles in the past. Many either don't have a good grip, spills when I turn sideways or upside down, or the hard straw does not making drinking comfortable. This Flip and Go bottle definitely does not disappoint! I really LOVE the vibrant color, sturdiness of the lid, and design. I especially like the flip up/down top because it gives me comfort that my bottle won't spill. The bottle is not too wide or thin, just the perfect size for a good grip. It also keeps my drinks cold for a good length of time. Absolutely love this bottle. I take it everywhere I go and often get complimented for the uniqueness of the flip top.
