9 Best Travel Water Bottles That Look Great and Won't Leak (Promise!)

Okay...this is clever. Once you’ve sipped your Stojo dry, it collapses down to just over three inches—perfect for squeezing into even the fullest of luggage. It's lightweight, takes up next to no space, is totally leakproof, and can even be put in the dishwasher. And that's 👏 not 👏 all 👏. It comes with a cute little strap, so you can hang it on the side of your travel bag and free up even more space.

You’re looking at the lightest and most affordable water bottle (or "anti-bottle," as the brand likes to call it) on this list. I purchased this cutie specifically for travel, and it did not disappoint. It weighs virtually nothing when empty and even has a built-in carabiner so you can clip it onto your purse, belt loop, or wherever else makes sense. If keeping things light is your main priority, it doesn’t get better than this.

PS: The mouth is wide enough to toss in some ice cubes. Genius, right?

Sure, this is an investment, but I can say from experience that it's absolutely worth it. Believe it or not, this baby is self-cleaning, using fancy LED tech to neutralize bacteria like E. coli and sanitize both the interior of the bottle and the water inside it. (Casual, right?) Just press the button on top, and it cleans itself in 60 seconds—reactivating every two hours. If you’re the type to drink from sketchy taps while exploring, pretty please consider adding this one to your cart.

This insulated travel water bottle is my go-to for long car rides because it fits in the cup holder like it was made for it. But it’s great for any adventure where you want to keep your drinks hot or cold thanks to its double-wall vacuum insulation—basically the bottle’s personal climate control. It’s also got a built-in straw, comes in a range of cute colors, and, as one five-star reviewer brilliantly noted, is “strong and sturdy enough to be used for self-defense."

Calling all eco-conscious babes: this water bottle is made in part using recycled materials, so you can feel extra good about every sip. And even though it’s one of the more budget-friendly picks on this list, it’s packed with covetable features, like a lock mechanism to prevent leaks, a slim design, and a one-handed cap for those moments when you’re juggling alllll the things.

I've been bringing this Brita filtering water bottle to Solidcore and Orangetheory classes for as long as I can remember. It doesn’t self-clean, per say, but its carbon block filter seriously upgrades the taste of the water inside, making sure my desperate fountain refills don't have a weird metal flavor. I'm confident it’ll be just as handy at airport water stations or anywhere else you’re filling up on the go. Also! It’s insulated to keep your drinks ice-cold and opens with the push of a button—quick and easy-peasy.

Say hiiii to one of the sleekest bottles I've ever laid eyes on. It comes in a variety of sizes, but this 48-ouncer is my pick for staying v hydrated on the go. The best thing about it (besides its incredible insulation and good looks) is the flexible shoestring lanyard that comes attached so you can hook it on your wrist or tie it to your travel bag. Oh, and I can't forget to mention the rubber sole at the bottom. It's like a shoe-slash-built-in coaster that keeps your bottle from slippin' and slidin' around.
