At the end of the testing period, we give each water bottle a score of 1 (would not recommend) to 5 (would recommend) in each of the key categories listed above. We also take the bottles home so we can continue to test them—we'll update this story with new insights as we use them in our daily routines. Unlike other plastic bottles, we love that this one is dishwasher-safe. No more fiddling around with long brushes or sponges—just toss the parts in, close the door, and let the machine do the work. We also like that there's a lid for the straw, which sets Pogo's bottle apart from others on our list. When you want the durability and safety of stainless steel, we recommend this water bottle from Hydro Flask. It will keep hot or cold drinks at the desired temperature for hours. Seriously, hours: up to six hours for hot drinks and 24 hours for cold drinks. To find the best water bottles with straws, we researched and reviewed dozens of options from the most trusted brands. We've also tested over 25 bottles in the Verywell Testing Lab and will continue to test newer models as they come out. The smaller sizes fit in most cupholders, whether you're sipping in the car or on an exercise bike. But like Owala's FreeSip, SimpleModern's water bottle is meant for cold drinks only. For hot drinks, try investing in a high-quality insulated tumbler.

If you're going to use your water bottle daily, investing in a high-quality, durable option that you enjoy using may greatly benefit your health and pay off in the long run. If you prefer a bottle that you won't be bummed if you misplace, choose a less expensive option, like Pogo's Plastic Water Bottle. Finding a high-quality water bottle is key for staying hydrated. Bonus points if you can find one with a straw: Drinking through a straw is convenient when you're on the move, so you'll likely drink more water. Aside from quenching your thirst and preventing dehydration, drinking enough water may also boost your digestion, reduce fatigue, prevent headaches, and even improve your complexion. If you need to keep hydrated but don't have the opportunity to refill your water bottle often, whether you're gearing up for a hike or a long day out and about, we recommend Iron Flask's 64-ounce water bottle. We like that this half-gallon bottle has three lids, including a straw lid that we found easy to drink from, even while standing or walking.Still, we appreciate the bottle's modern design, which comes in a few stylish, muted colors. It offers two middle-of-the-road sizes, 20 and 32 ounces—enough to keep you hydrated all day long. Just note that it's hand wash only and can't go in the dishwasher. A water bottle with a built-in straw eliminates the need for single-use straws and is easier to sip from during workouts. When shopping for a water bottle, it's also a good idea to consider which materials it's made from—glass, stainless steel, or plastic are common—and the manufacturer's care instructions. Most water bottles are not dishwasher-safe, so read the description carefully if that's important to you. Water bottles with straws are made with various materials, including plastic, glass, and stainless steel. If you're looking for the most lightweight option, you may want to choose a BPA-free plastic water bottle, like Contigo's Ashland 2.0 Leak-Proof Water Bottle. Stainless steel options (like Owala's FreeSip Water Bottle) have better insulation and can keep your favorite drinks hot or cold for hours. For an environmentally-friendly bottle that doesn't hold onto smells or tastes, try glass—we recommend BLUEGO's 64oz Glass Water Bottle. But the FreeSip's lid is the star of the show. Flip it open using one finger to access the spout, which offers two ways to drink. You can sip using the bottle's straw or take a big swig from the spout opening—ideal when you're overheating on the treadmill or elliptical. It also features a carrying handle that slots in place over top of the lid to create a seal that's truly leakproof. We also like that the triple-layered insulation keeps beverages hot for up to 12 hours or cold for up to 24. Leakproof and shatterproof, it's sturdy enough to withstand constant use. And the carrying handle on the straw lid is a nice, convenient touch.

It comes in several sizes and an array of colors. A carrying clip is built into the cap so you can easily take it on the go. The price is right, too, as you can score the 24-ounce model for less than half the price of other bottles on our list. Finding a glass water bottle with a straw can be difficult, but we think we've found the ideal solution in this option from BLUEGO. The wide mouth is large enough for adding your favorite ice, fruit, or other flavorings. We also love that it has a silicone sleeve to protect it from impact, so you can toss it in a bag or your passenger seat without a second thought. Owala claims the FreeSip's double-walled insulation keeps water cold for up to 24 hours, which we've found to be true in testing. We love that the wide mouth allows us to add ice to keep our water at the perfect temperature all day long. Plus, the outside is just slightly textured for the right amount of grip, and even the largest 40-ounce size is easy to hold with one hand.To find the best water bottles with straws, we tested 25 bottles in the Verywell Testing Lab. We also tested some in the real world, using them during our daily routines to see how they hold up over time. In addition, we had a certified personal trainer from our Review Board review this article for accuracy and how to choose the best water bottles with straws.

This bottle got high marks for portability—it's slim, has a convenient carrying loop, and is smooth to the touch for on-the-go drinking. However, it's not as durable as others we tested. When we dropped it, we noticed it dented easily and that the lid started to leak. All of the stainless steel water bottles with straws on our list are insulated in some way. But Owala's viral FreeSip is our favorite because it keeps our water cold for longer—and has a range of innovative features that set it apart. It comes in three sizes—24, 32 and 40 ounces—in various bright colors. The bottle is made of food-grade stainless steel, and the cap and straw are made from BPA-free plastic. When testing this water bottle, we found that the lid is easy to screw on and off, and we love that the spout flips up with the push of a tab.A leakproof lid keeps your gym bag and other essentials protected, while a stretchy carrying loop makes it easy to bring this bottle with you on the go. Plus, it's BPA-free, so you can sip knowing you're limiting any potential exposure. Although it isn't insulated, we think the overall value you get for the price is worth the trade-off. The exterior is powder-coated to keep it from slipping and to help reduce condensation. You will have to hand wash it, but it comes with a lifetime warranty, so you know it’s built to last. We've also noticed that cleaning the straw is easy, as it detaches from the lid to allow for a thorough scrubbing.

Although this bottle wasn't the most durable one we tested, we still find it stylish and easy to drink from, with a truly impressive capacity. Like Owala's FreeSip, this water bottle from SimpleModern is also leakproof. But we recommend it as the best leakproof option because it's more budget-friendly, comes in more sizes, and has a classic straw lid design, if the FreeSip's chug spout option isn't for you.
