Review on 🎁 AMITER Half Gallon Water Bottle with Straw - Best Friend & Friendship Gifts for Women, Sister, Birthday, Mother's Day, BFF, Her by Marcus Rash

I've wanted to buy one of these motivational bottles for a long time because I definitely don't drink enough water every day and I hope it helps. After doing a few research I ordered this one as it looked good and it also came with a paracord handle. Things I like are how easy it is to use with one hand and the fact that it comes with a locking mechanism so it doesn't open accidentally. The whistle on the grip clip is quite loud and the compass seems to work as it should and I also liked that there is no sheet attached to the clip in the kit so you shouldn't have any trouble carrying it on the plane. The paracord handle seems pretty solid and the bottle cap also has a handle so you can use it without the paracord if you want. It comes with a bottle washer, which is very convenient. The straw came disassembled and it took me a while to figure out how to assemble it as it had no instructions (I had to go back to the listing to see the picture) but once assembled it worked fine. I've found that I've already been drinking more water and it's not hard to stick to the schedule printed on the bottle. What I don't like: If you have small hands like mine, it's quite uncomfortable to hold and drink from, especially when full, and I wish it was more contoured to help with that. There is a small lip at the top that helps, but I have to use my thumb and one finger to hold it in place, which is difficult when full and heavy. The colors on the bottle are a bit paler than in the picture and I don't like them as much as I thought. In contrast, the rainbow paracord handle is pretty light and I wish I had the light blue handle that comes with the orange and blue bottle, but hey it's Pride month so it works! It's also quite difficult to put on and take off the grip ring so you can use it with other bottles, but it seems easier the second time around so it could be improved. I would have liked a more transparent bottle although you can still see the waterline clearly. The water also has a very slight plastic taste which I don't like or feel with my Nalgene bottle and I'm hoping this will improve with a little longer use. I think this is more due to the plastic spout of the straw attachment than the bottle itself, which unfortunately will affect functionality if it doesn't get better. I'm also not sure I want my water to not stay cold all day, but that's easily solved by adding a few more thoughtful ice cubes for the day. Bought and I got it at a great price and apart from the small hand problem it is functional and good value for money.
