Why a water bottle is so handy

As an athlete (or just someone who takes their hydration seriously) you want one thing: to always drink enough. A sport water bottle helps you with this in three ways:

1. Easy to carry: Fits in your bag, in the car, or just in your hand.
2. Better for the environment: Say goodbye to those plastic bottles. Choose reusable water bottles and do your part.
3. Better for your performance: Hydration = energy. The better you drink, the better you train.

Want to take protein shakes with you besides water? Then check out our shakers. That way you combine hydration with the right nutrients!

Buying water bottles: which one suits you?

Not every bottle is the same. You can choose from different types of fitness water bottles:

- Sports water bottles: Specially designed for use in the gym, with a firm grip and a handy drinking spout.
- Bidons: Lightweight and perfect for quick drinking during sports. Extra handy during cardio.
- Thermos bottles: Want to keep your water ice cold or your coffee hot? Then a thermos bottle is the way to go. 
- Travel bottles: Ideal for on the go, to work or study. Often with a handy cap or carrying loop.

And for coffee lovers? Then just use one of our coffee cups. Perfect for on the go!

5 tips to drink more water

Drinking enough is not always a given. So here are a few hacks to boost your water intake:

1. Always keep your bottle in sight

Put it next to your laptop, in your sports bag, or on your nightstand. The more you see it, the more you drink.

2. Drink at fixed times

For example, after waking up, before and after a workout, and at every meal. Automate it!

3. Make water tastier

Add some lemon, mint, or cucumber if you find plain water boring.

4. Use a large water bottle

The bigger your bottle, the less often you have to refill. More drinking. Less effort.

5. Challenge yourself

Set a goal for yourself, like 2 liters per day. Apps or markings on your bottle can help.

Frequently Asked Questions about Water Bottles

1. What is the best water bottle for the gym?

The ideal water bottle for the gym is sturdy, leak-proof, and easy to use. Preferably choose a sports bottle or fitness water bottle with a convenient drinking spout, squeeze cap, or screw cap that you can open with one hand. Non-slip materials or an ergonomic grip are also important, especially during intense workouts. Additionally, it is handy if the bottle fits in your sports bag or bottle holder and does not slip during use. Models with measurement markings also help you keep track of your fluid intake.

2. How much water should I drink during exercise?

How much you should drink depends on factors such as the intensity of your workout, your body weight, ambient temperature, and sweat production. On average, you need between 500 ml and 1 liter of water per hour to stay hydrated during exercise. With heavier exertion or warm weather, this can be even more. Make sure to drink regularly before, during, and after training to prevent dehydration and performance loss. A bottle with markings helps you keep track of this properly.

3. Can I put a water bottle in the dishwasher?

That varies by type of water bottle. Many plastic sports bottles are allowed in the top rack of the dishwasher, while thermos bottles and shakers are often better washed by hand to avoid damaging the insulation or seals. Always check the product information or the bottom of the bottle to see if it is dishwasher safe. Regular and careful cleaning prevents unpleasant odors, residue, and bacterial growth in your bottle.

4. What is the difference between a bidon and a sports water bottle?

A bidon is usually made of lightweight plastic and equipped with a squeeze cap, ideal for cycling or quick drinking breaks. A sports water bottle is often more robust, has a screw cap or drinking spout, and is suitable for various sports such as fitness, CrossFit, or team sports. Additionally, there are insulated water bottles that keep your drink cooler or warmer for longer. Perfect for those who exercise on the go or outdoors. The difference mainly lies in ease of use, material, and insulation.
