I purchased a number of Stanley tumblers earlier than the Target craze was a factor, as a result of I wished to see if the TikTok hype was true. In the previous, I’ve tried a number of fashionable water bottles, together with an hourly motivational bottle, which received me to drink extra water for possibly three days, and I’ve tried utilizing solely disposable water bottles to maintain depend — I do know, unhealthy for the setting. But nothing ever sticks, and I’m again to chugging water at night time to catch up. But the cup that I’ve truly caught with, as a result of it makes it simple to gulp water on the go, is the 30-ounce Stanley tumbler.
I purchased three completely different sizes of Stanley tumblers to strive, 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. Though the 40-ounce would most likely be my cup of alternative, I often must lug round my 23-pound, energetic toddler, which suggests I would like one thing lighter to place my water in. That identical toddler is at all times following me round, so consistently 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 sport changer.
That leaves the Goldilocks of the group: the 30-ounce Stanley tumbler. It’s gentle, suits in my automobile’s cupholder and is insulated with stainless-steel, so I can use it to maintain my water chilly or my espresso scorching. I as soon as left my Stanley tumbler, crammed with ice water, within the automobile throughout an 89-degree day, and the water was nonetheless chilly once I received again hours later.
The solely draw back I’ve discovered is that when the straw is within the cup, there isn’t any strategy 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 (for my part).
