“I really wanted to love this bottle, but after a week I'm ready to go back to my insulated water bottle. The only pro is how cute it is.
The Hydrojug is so heavy and lugging it around even with a carrying strap feels like I have a purse full of all my belongings. Carrying it just from the car to the gym with my yoga mat was inconvenient and for a walk I'd rather wear a weight vest, which is what this feels like.
The pockets on the sleeve aren't practical and barely hold my phone and small card wallet, I ended up just bringing my most used card and taking my single car key off my key ring to try to make it work.
Even when filled completely of ice cubes it didn't stay cold for more than 2 hours. 2 hours feels generous. My fridge has dual I've makers and with two of these bottles in the house they're constantly empty because it melts so quickly.
The straw. there's got to be a better way to have a straw for this bottle, this one is again not practical.”
“It's pretty, but holy crap the chemical smell is so strong. I tried putting it in a bag with baking soda for two days, washing it, putting it in the freezer. Nothing helps. I don't know if all of them smell this way, but it is so so so bad. I can't use this, I'm so sad”
