So, I have ARFID, and the taste of plain water really sets it off. Unfortunately, I’m also alergic to coconut and mint so hydrating often requires sugary flavoring. Does anyone else have different ways I could circumvent this issue and still drink water?

Haven’t tried Liquid IV.

With Hydralyte, it causes urination irritation and urgency - possibly due to the citric acid.

I’m finally replacing my old water bottle because it barely keeps drinks cold anymore, and I figured I’d ask here before buying another one. There are so many insulated bottles now that it’s hard to tell which ones actually perform well and which are just popular because of the brand.

I’m mostly after something that keeps water cold for as long as it claims, doesn’t leak in a backpack, and is comfortable to carry around every day. A bottle that fits in a car cup holder would be a bonus, and I’d rather avoid anything that scratches or dents too easily.

If you’ve been using the same insulated water bottle for a while, what did you end up buying? Has it held up well over time, and are there any you wish you’d skipped because they didn’t live up to the hype? I’m much more interested in real experiences than marketing claims.
