Review on 🌍 Nalgene Sustain Tritan BPA-Free Water Bottle: Eco-Friendly 16 OZ Wide Mouth, Crafted from 50% Recycled Plastic Waste by Marquel Henry

This is a smaller version of the very popular 32 ounce Nalgene bottle. Bottle with a wide neck. That's half the capacity of this bottle. It has the same strength and sealing properties as a larger bottle. So why do you need a smaller bottle? Because there are times when carrying around a 32-ounce bottle isn't practical. The small bottle easily fits in a backpack. It takes up less space in a portable refrigerator. This is the perfect size for a kids lunch box. The truth is, unless you're going somewhere where water or drinks aren't within easy reach, you don't need to carry a 32-ounce bottle. For hiking - yes, but for the office and lunch - no. Nalgene bottles are available with wide and narrow necks. It's easier to drink from a narrow mouth. It will be easier for the child to drink from a small mouth and less chance of spilling the drink. In theory, the smaller neck also makes the bottle more airtight than it already is. I say "in theory" because I've never had a Nalgene bottle leak. However, a narrow neck is more difficult to clean. You must take care to clean the bottle after each use. Be sure to empty the bottle, rinse well with clean water, turn upside down and make sure it is completely dry. You don't want mold, fungi and biofilm to grow inside. It will be impossible to erase. You can try bleach. I threw away the bottle with the narrow neck because the inside was moldy. I forgot to clean it after use. It was a dark blue bottle. If you must have a narrow mouth, opt for the transparent version. You should be able to see the inside and check for mold. I bought this with a wide mouth to avoid the hassle. Now I only buy clear bottles. Highly recommended. You really can't go wrong with Nalgene bottles. They are completely closed. Their durability is unmatched. The wide neck makes cleaning the inside of the bottle easier.
