Trendy water bottles aren’t going away anytime soon, and while most feel like homogenous hydration status symbols, some actually do offer some unique utility. Case in point: This one from Bottle Bottle has a twist-off hidden pill compartment. Of course, that compartment is also great for holding vitamins, small candies, a small amount of cash and any other tiny essential you like to keep near for easy access.
“I like that it has the chug and straw spouts in one, comes with two extra straws, the handle seems very sturdy and the boot/silicone bumper is built into the bottom of the bottle,” one reviewer notes. Several reviewers rave about its double-duty top that lets you use a straw or sip directly from the lid, while others say its secret stash compartment helps pack away everything from cash and meds to hair ties and keys. It’s also a whopping 40 ounces.
Its bonus pill-saving feature aside, this bottle has all the usual makings you’d expect from a modern water bottle: double-insulated walls to keep liquids icy for up to a claimed 24 hours or hot for up to 16 hours, a flip-up lid for easy pouring or sipping, an extra straw just in case you lose one, 100% food grade material and plenty of popping monochrome colors to choose from.
If you’re looking for a water bottle that adds a little more utility to your thirst-quenching, consider grabbing this one and keep scrolling for more useful water bottle inspo.
Read on to see more promising reviews about this hidden stash water bottle:
“I love this water bottle. I’ve tried so many; hydro flask, yeti, owala, my owala recently broke and i think it’s a design flaw. the design of this bottle however is perfect. it insulates the same as the others but has a consistent handle that doesn’t get in the way, it has straw and pour, and something none of them have which is the bottom compartment for pills or whatever! i love it and love the simplicity of the brand name bottle bottle. 10/10” — Camrynn Demars
“I have gone through sooooooo many water bottles!!!!! Name brand and off brand!!!! Look no further!!!!! This is it!!!! It has two different ways of drinking out of it! It has a handle that you can hang on your backpack. It stays cold til the next day when filled with ice to the top. Sooooooo manny colors to choose from. And sooooo many different sizes. I got a kids one . A medium one. And three 40oz ones!!!! The family loves them!!! We all have our own water bottle. And the bottom twist off to add a key / something small or medicine !!! I keep my allergy pills in it!! So convenient 👍🏻” — Moe
“This is a great 32 ounce water bottle with a Foldable straw. The handle is cute And unobtrusive. The best part, though, is the secret stash spot underneath. You can’t even tell it’s there! I removed the little pill organizer so that it doesn’t make noise if you pick it up or shake it” — Jess[This review has been condensed. See full review here.]
“I love this water bottle! At first, I was skeptical about purchasing a water bottle with a plastic cap. My old water bottle (which was lost) had a wide, metal screw-on cap. I decided to purchase this water bottle because of the interesting cap which offers two ways to drink. That cap is a game changer. It is made of a hard plastic material that doesn’t feel cheap at all. The straw portion will not deform. You will be sitting in a dentist chair before chewing that straw out of shape. If you don’t feel like sipping you can flip the lid on the cap for a gulp if needed. The insulated handle is also a nice added touch. Especially in colder climates where you don’t want to grab onto a cold piece of metal. The opening of the bottle is wide enough to place under the ice maker of my refrigerator which is another plus. For the price of a bottle that is this size (40oz) and has great build quality, you can get 2 when compared to the price of the more popular bottles out there. I’m very happy with my purchase!” — RMiller
“I have a million water bottles and for the most part, there’s not much to differentiate between one and another. But the secret compartment of this one makes it my favorite! The visible part of it is so thin that you can’t tell anything is there. It’s not big enough to hold a credit card or driver’s license, but you can put a key, cash, or other small items (I like keeping a ponytail holder in there). You can also use the built-in straw or pour from it. It’s nice to have that option, depending on how thirsty you are!” — Beth Case
Also, here are some smart water bottle accessories for even breezier hydration:
Promising review: “The straps are very well made with heavy material and feel very durable. I like that on the inside of the straps are tiny strips of adhesive (similar to glue gun) to keep bottle from slipping. Clips are heavy duty, so I don’t think it’ll break very easily. Brought it hiking with me when touring Antelope Canyon in Arizona, where NO bags of any kind are allowed. Fit my 24oz. water bottle with no problem, and allowed my hands to take pictures with my DSLR camera or to climb around rocks. Also, tried fitting my daughter’s Owala 40 oz water bottle. Little tight, but it did fit. Too large to hold a standard 16.9 oz. (500ml) water bottle (i.e., Crystal Geyser). Highly recommend.” — kdmo
Promising review: “I needed ice cubes that can fit into my bottled water I initially and these work great. But now that summer is here I needed to keep my hummingbird feeders cold during our 90° summer days. These trays work incredibly well. I pour my hummerBird feed into them and use the very nice cover and they make perfect ice feed for my hummingbirds. These come nicely packed and in pretty colors. They are easy to clean. Note to make sure you follow the instructions on how to remove your frozen cubes, you don’t twist but push up ( instructions are very clear) very happy with this purchase” — JOYCE COSTA
Promising review: “I dropped one tablet into a thermos that has been carrying tea for the past 3 years. First attempt released most of the built up debris. Second tablet released even more. Between the first and second tablets I brushed the inside with steel wool, and after the second. It didn’t remove all debris, but at least 95%.
This works great. Better than scrubbing by hand.” — HagayV
Promising review: “I am impressed with the right-out-the-gate strength and durability of the bristles, and ability to bounce-back after use. I have been burned before by bristle brushes flattening or losing bristles extremely quickly and in very normal, gentle use. It gets good, broad-spectrum reach for cleaning a variety of things. For the next couple months at least, this will continue to be my “swiss army knife” of dishwashing.
(Another key factor: good drainage! Even with the straw-brush fully attached in the brush handle, holes and gaps exist for the purpose of draining any excess water/moisture, which is a nice touch)” — Gabriel C
