The Hidrate 3 is compatible with a few different fitness apps, such as Google Fit, Fitbit, and Garmin. I had no problem syncing up the Hidrate app to Google Fit and Under Armour on my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and everything worked glitch-free throughout my testing. However, I’m not sure what the exact benefit is to syncing Hidrate up to other apps; neither app on my phone seemed to be collecting new data when connected. (Though I presume that’s the intended purpose.) Glass bottles might look great, but they're easier to break than durable stainless steel models, which are also great at insulating your drinks. Plastic is arguably most lightweight but can leave a taste in your mouth and don't fare as well in the wash. How often should I clean my water bottle? The Tritan has been Nalgene’s best-selling water bottle for more than three decades, and one glance might send some nostalgia your way. Built for just the basics and nothing more (or less), this iconic bottle is available with both narrow and wide-mouth openings, featuring such colors are Melon Ball, Rustic Orange, and Slate Blue. The Tritan is rated for liquid temperatures between -40 and 212 degrees Fahrenheit, but at this price, don’t expect any extra insulation to keep those temperatures stable. Capacity: 400ml | Recommended age: 3 years+ | Material: Plastic (50% recycled material) What we love Get a Doidy Cup! They're brilliant, good size for little hands and angled so they can see the water coming at them. My toddler had one from 6 months and she much preferred it to a sippy cup. Takes a little while (and a lot of spills) to get used to but definitely worth it’ - highly recommended by Mumsnet user, HereComesFrog. Our Verdict

The classic cup has been a favourite with parents for years and it can be found in most supermarkets. There are cheaper cups, but we think it’s excellent value for money as a solid, well-made model from a trusted premium brand. With a low-ish price tag, you can buy a few (one for at Grandma’s, one for under the pushchair…) without breaking the bank. Air dry your bottle and remember to clean around the lid, washing and drying the bottle separately to the lid. More From Tom's Guide Straw: Sippy cups that come with a straw attached or included, rather than a spout, help to get your child used to drinking from a straw and a cup, for when they eventually get there. With a straw, your child won’t have to tip or lift their cup - nice and easy. Capacity: 250ml | Recommended age: 6 months+ | Material: Polypropylene, High Density Polyethylene and Thermo Plastic Elastomer What we love The stainless steel exterior is simple and elegant, yet built for some abuse; it’s designed to keep drinks hot for 12 hours, or cold for 24. Other color options are available, but they’re a lot more muted than what you’ll find with other water bottles.Another vote for the Tommy Tippee Free-Flow. My son drinks water out of this and gets all excited when he sees the cup” - voted for by Mumsnet user, SabrinaTheThirtySomethingWitch. Our Verdict Need a little extra motivation to stay hydrated throughout the day? BuildLife builds an extra boost into each and every one of their bulky bottles, complete with timed reminders of when to splash some H20 in your face. It comes with a carrying handle on the side and a nylon strap on top, which also makes it a great addition to any camping trip. There are 19 different color choices, so you’re sure to find one that matches your personal style. While many of the water bottles on this list are meant for mobility, the S’well Roamer can practically double as a kettlebell. (It weighs nearly 6 pounds totally when filled with water.) In fact, S’well markets the Roamer as “your new on-the-go pitcher,” which is great, because I wasn’t planning on lugging this thing to my next HIIT workout. It comes in two large sizes (40 oz and 64 oz), and a variety of stunning designs, such as Teakwood, Blue Cornflower, Sunkissed, and Night Sky. If you’re looking for something smaller, S’well offers a variety of more diminutive mugs and bottles. This smart cup by baby feeding gurus Tommee Tippee is a great design if you have a ‘biter’ on your hands. The tough spout (with a semi-soft part for comfort, to be gentle on tender gums) can stand gummy chewing and even first teeth. And because it’s made using Bacshield antibacterial silver ion technology, the spout won’t become a home for germs to hide in, even if it does get the odd bite mark.

If you're trying to be more mindful in your water bottle choices when choosing the best water bottle for workouts, consider glass. Stainless steel bottles are also proving popular, and both options are safe, durable, and toxin-free. What is the safest water bottle to drink from? Metal bottles made from stainless steel or aluminum are also safe, but each material comes with its own pros and cons, from how durable they are to how easy your bottle is to wash or how heavy it might be. We’re always fans of a product that does two jobs at once, like this clever little beaker which also functions as a nightlight! Invented by a dad and industrial engineer, the Litecup has a smart, well-thought-through design in a range of colours. It’s a 360-degree free-flow spout to let children sip from any side of the cup; it has easy-to-grab handles; and it boasts a light-up base. Just bear in mind that if you're using the lid for nighttimes, it won’t be completely free-flow.Available in myriad size and color options (6 of the former and 23 of the latter), the double-insulated Iron Flask water bottle really does have something for everyone, no matter your age, body type, or budget. Ranging from a modest 14 ounces to a bladder-busting 64 ounces, each water bottle comes with three different lids for swapping between hot and cold beverages. Yep, the Iron Flask is rated to keep cold stuff cold for up to 24 hours, and hot stuff hot for up to 12. Spoutless/flat lid: Lastly, there are cups with a flat lid - no spout at all. Like the Munchkin on this list, they’re sometimes called 360 cups. Kids can drink from any angle so it resembles a normal cup, but it still has a lid (often, this seals shut after use) to prevent spills.
