You're definitely not waiting for the water to dribble out. It just gives you control over the water stream so you're not spilling it everywhere like a wide-mouth stainless steel bottle. DH and I can chug down 8-10 oz. in one go, which is why we like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-approved-water-bottle#post-1423713 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 09:07:50 +0000 kjpugs 1423713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: which contigo does he have? It seems like (per their website) the drink opening is pretty small? Maybe I'm looking at the wrong one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-approved-water-bottle#post-1421971 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 19:39:56 +0000 chopsuey 1421971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: we have 2 of these and my DH drinks from his. they're plastic. </p> <p><a href="http://www.black-blum.com/products/eau-good-filter-water-bottle/" rel="nofollow">http://www.black-blum.com/products/eau-good-filter-water-bottle/</a></p> <p>ps. we don't use the charcoal anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-approved-water-bottle#post-1421961 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 19:38:03 +0000 gingerbebe 1421961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG my DH spills everything and he LOVES his Contigo autoseal bottle. He uses both the water bottle and the insulated coffee cups - its the only kind he will use. He likes the double-walled water bottle, even though it holds a little less water, because he likes his water to stay cold and he loves that the Contigo bottle allows him to chug. I actually used to use the Camelback Eddy but liked his so much that I got one too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-approved-water-bottle#post-1420741 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 14:02:45 +0000 OldEnglandMama 1420741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH likes a wide mouthed Klean Kanteen. It does have a screw cap, but that can be switched for one of their other tops (they're all interchangeable I think). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-approved-water-bottle#post-1420395 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 12:38:31 +0000 dagret 1420395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how about a contigo? No spout, no straw, you just push a button to get the drink opening - so if your kid knocks it over, it won't spill. <a href="http://www.sears.com/ignite-contigo-reg-autoseal-reg-24oz-water-bottle/p-00867105000P?sid=IDx01192011x000001&#038;kpid=00867105000&#038;kispla=00867105000P" rel="nofollow">http://www.sears.com/ignite-contigo-reg-autoseal-reg-24oz-water-bottle/p-00867105000P?sid=IDx01192011x000001&#038;kpid=00867105000&#038;kispla=00867105000P</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-approved-water-bottle#post-1420338 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 12:16:10 +0000 snowjewelz 1420338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both use the Camelback Eddy and like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-approved-water-bottle#post-1420328 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 12:13:29 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1420328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a Tervis with a lid and no straw or one of the Tervis bottles with a flip top lid? DH mainly uses one with a screw on lid, but I love my Tervis and even when it's open, it doesn't usually spill too much when I knock it over. </p> [attach=4024/14/n0y2ih.175x175.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-approved-water-bottle#post-1420274 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:54:41 +0000 kjpugs 1420274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: It might and I *THINK* we might have one!!!! Will check right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-approved-water-bottle#post-1420264 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:53:11 +0000 mrs. bird 1420264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mr. bird often uses his protein shaker bottles as water bottles, no straw, can chug a big amount of water, the opening is big enough you can fill it through there without taking the lid off if you don't want to, and they close tight when you close the flip top part. would that work for him? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-approved-water-bottle#post-1420252 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:47:22 +0000 kjpugs 1420252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have far too many of these plastic, wide cups that we got with pizza back in the day. (They had a deal for 2 sodas, breadsticks and a pizza... our staple after partying way back when!) DH loves using them for water BUT ALWAYS SPILLS THEM. Just had a MASSIVE spill today. Our pugs knock them over (they can hop on our coffee table... yes, it sucks.) And they leave condensation on everythign!!!!</p> <p>I am a big water bottle fan... a camelback for travel, a huge tervis with straw, and recently switched to the HUGE one I got when I delivered LO (also with straw.)</p> <p>I keep BEGGING DH to switch to a water bottle. Save me washing 239084723890 cups, save our stuff, and also many are bigger and he wouldn't have to refill. He doesn't want to drink from a straw though, or mess with screw tops (like a nalgene top.) He also hates the sip part of my camelback. I think he likes GULPING water- he works long hours over a hot grill usually, so he drinks water like it's going out of style.</p> <p>Anyone have a man-approved (or more specifically, my picky DH approved) water bottle that I could buy him because OMG IF HE SPILLS ONE MORE TIME I WILL LOSE IT!!!!!!!! </p>
