H2O Capsule INSPO Gallon Water Bottle with Time Marker and Straw Motivational Hydration Tracker Jug Big BPA-Free Food-Safe Leakproof Drinking Bottle with Handle & Strap, Lotus Blossom

Actually Leak-Proof!
This is the best half gallon bottle I have bought so far. Unlike bottles from other companies that claim to have to be leak-proof, this one truly lives up to the claim. I have not experienced any spills at all. The straw design is a bit different than what I’m used to. Initially, I thought it was broken, but realized this is the intended design. I really like the color as well.

Pros and Cons; Overall Satisfied, Few Tweaks
I’ll put a pro and con list at the bottom in case this is too long and people don’t want to read, but before I get into it, I’ve had my fair share of water bottles. It’s one of the very specific things that I “can never have too many of,” and after trying many different ones, I STILL struggle with staying hydrated.I bought this water bottle after seeing the HydroJug being advertised everywhere on Instagram but reading reviews that this bottle was better and had more functional sleeves compared to the HydroJug competition. After finding the “No Limits” bottle that appealed to me more than either of the HydroJug OR H2OCapsule designs, I decided to take a chance on this bottle.I’ve had this bottle and have been using it for about a week now, and I think that it’s one of my favorites now, which says a lot because I have so many. I’m actually using it right now. There’s a lot of good things about this water bottle, but also some drawbacks. I’ll start with the good.I love that this water bottle has such a large capacity, so you don’t have to worry about refilling it. I also really enjoy that it comes with a carry strap and that the straw has a dust-proof cover and a locking mechanism. As someone with horrible OCD, I’m always looking for ways to make sure that my stuff is safe and as least-contaminated as possible. I also REALLY enjoy that there’s time markers on this bottle IN ADDITION to there also being measurements on the other side so that you can track your water intake.Now for the negatives. This water bottle sweats PROFUSELY. I ordered one of the H2OCapsule neoprene sleeves, but it was scheduled to arrive the day AFTER the water bottle, so I spent the whole entire first day (and part of the second) without the sleeve, and boy, was that pain in the a$$. The water bottle sweat everywhere, and since the jug is so big, I couldn’t just simply put it on a coaster. I used like, 5 coaster, to no avail. There was still water everywhere.This takes me to my next point. I now have the sleeve, which I love and will do a separate review for, but there ARE tradeoffs to having the sleeve on. With the sleeve on, you cannot see the decor of the bottle. The initial “No Limits” graphic and color scheme that I initially fell in love with you can’t even see anymore. You can only see a subtle blue-to-greyish gradient on the handle and the lightish blue, pale grey of the lid. With this, you ALSO CANNOT see the motivational time marks OR the intake trackers without unzipping the whole entire sleeve and removing 3/4 of the sleeve to see, which is as tedious and time-consuming as it sounds. One of the main reasons that I got this bottle was for the water tracker tick marks, which I can’t even use anymore, due to the sleeve covering this feature. The handle grip you are also unable to remove (I don’t really think this is a con, but some people may) despite what some reviews say. I’m sure you could get it off if you tried hard enough, but I’m not sure that you’d ever be able to get it back on. This bottle is also hard to clean due to the awkward shape and handle also holding water. I’ll review the sleeve and its drawbacks separately, because this is strictly about the water bottle.Overall, I’m still glad that I purchased this water bottle and use it almost every day. I cut a bit of the bottom part of the straw off (which was extremely difficult because the straw was hard and not soft like other reusable water bottle straws) and have had experienced no issues. Even without cutting part of the bottom of the straw off, I don’t think I’d experience issues. I fill my water bottle to the top (despite people saying this is what caused the difficulty getting water issue) and have no issues getting water from the straw. I also have no difficulty with the lid closing or the straw going down. I’m not sure if they changed their design to make it easier, but I’ve had no issues whatsoever.I recommend this bottle for anybody looking for a jug that holds a lot of water and is looking for a high quality one. I haven’t dropped this jug or had any durability tests or issues, but it seems sturdy enough, especially with the sleeve on now. From what I hear, customer service is really good for this company as well, and I can vouch that they answered my comments extremely fast on Instagram, also persuading me to choose this company and bottle over competitors. I highly recommend this bottle for people that are looking for a large water bottle that’ll motivate them to drink more or just carry more water without having to refill. It’s a great bottle, with just a few drawbacks I hope they’ll fix in the future(:TL;DR: Great water bottle that I’m satisfied with, with a few negatives that could be tweaked.PROS:- High capacity- Seems sturdy- Inspirational time markers- Measurement markers- Dust-proof/leak-proof cap- Locking mechanism on the lid- Carrying strap- Handle- BONUS: Excellent customer service (in my own experience, so far)CONS:- Sweats PROFUSELY without sleeve- Bottle is difficult to clean and NOT dishwasher safe (some people say it is, mixed reviews; unclear)- No alternative lid included if you’re not a fan of straws- Materials SEEMS durable but also could easily be broken without protective sleeve(if using with sleeve)- Cannot see design of bottle- Cannot see motivational time markers- Cannot see tracker marks- Tracking for water intake is in MLs and not OZs- Carrying strap is non-removable (?)

Perfect choice
I wanted to drink a gallon a day for my group’s HARD challenge, but didn’t want the bulky one gallon jug. This bottle is perfect becuase it has a “fill” at the bottom, so you can drink half, refill, and still track the timing of your day to get a gallon in. The handle is perfectly places so that the straw is facing you when you drink, no matter how you put the lid on. I take it everywhere with my (home, work, gym, car) and have tossed it in my passengar seat in a rush, no leaking. It is very solid. I even dropped it by accident, and the handle held up, no damage. The strap is a nice accessory also.The orange/yellow ombre is a great choice because it allows me to see the water line and still be able to read the times clearly. I do recommend not filling much past the “8am” line, as it does tend to get overfull once you put the lid on and some will leak down. But ZERO complaints overall with this bottle.

The button to release the lid
The button for the latch doesn’t work much, I sort of have to pry it open most of the time, other than that it’s a good bottle

J’ai échappé ma gourde et elle s’est brisée. Durée de vie de quelques jours seulement. Pas très solide.

I like it for water but ice melts pretty fast.
