5 Reasons Your Water Bottle Is Making You Drink Less (And How to Fix It)

If you’ve ever found yourself staring at your bottle thinking “Why am I not drinking more water?” - you’re not alone. Surprisingly, your water bottle might actually be the problem. Here are five sneaky ways your bottle might be holding you back (and how to turn it into your hydration BFF).

  1. It’s annoying to clean.
    If your bottle has a lid that traps water or silicone that gets gunky easily, you're less likely to want to use it. Solution: Go for a design that’s easy to scrub or soak - and bonus points if it has dishwasher-safe parts (like our screw lids!).

  2. It leaks in your bag.
    One mystery puddle in your tote and suddenly you’re back to single-use plastic. Look for a bottle with a sealable, tested leakproof lid.

  3. It doesn’t fit your lifestyle.
    If you're switching between iced oat lattes, protein shakes and water - one-size-fits-all won’t cut it. Choose a bottle with interchangeable lids to match your drinks (yep, we do that).

  4. It doesn’t match your vibe.
    If it’s ugly or boring, you probably won’t bring it out. Choose a bottle that you’re proud to show off - colours, custom engraving, the works.

  5. It doesn’t keep your drinks cold (or hot).
    Lukewarm water isn’t exactly motivating. Double-walled stainless steel keeps things icy for 24+ hours - a literal game-changer.


Hydration shouldn't feel like a chore. With the right bottle, it becomes effortless - stylish, functional, and built around you. If you're ready to upgrade, the Sinclo customiser is waiting.
