Review on Baiji Bottle Silicone Water Bottles for Sports and Camping, 20 Oz. - Easy-to-Clean and Store, Blue and Pink by Tim Crowder

I really like this bottle. This is a perfect example of how you don't realize you need something until you buy it and start using it. I travel a lot and always have water with me. I don't like using my standard refillable bottle because it's too heavy for travel, so I always end up buying a tougher disposable plastic water bottle and then refilling it so I don't make extra mess. However, these hard-walled bottles are inconvenient to carry around when empty. This bottle is the perfect solution. So far (a few days) I haven't had any problems with the leak. The lid closes tightly but is easy to drink and I love that the lid unscrews so you can wash and refill easily. When I first got it, I washed it with water and some dish soap, then filled it with water to drink. I'm very picky about the taste of water and was pleasantly surprised that it doesn't add any extra flavor to the bottled water as far as I can tell. The soft silicone material feels a bit unfamiliar at first and you have to be careful squeezing when drinking from it, but I expect you'll get used to it quickly. I've seen some people complain that the bottle "sweats" and feels a bit slimy when you fill it with cold water, so I checked it out but didn't notice any such issues. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.
