Christmas Gift Guide: Vapur Water Bottles

Here’s a stocking stuffer idea great for everyone in the family!

The Vapur Bottle is a collapsible water bottle that stands on it’s own when filled and folds flat when empty. Vapur water bottles are environmentally friendly, durable water bottles that offer both convenience and portability!

 

My Favorite Vapur Features:

• Kid friendly - easy for little fingers to grip and hold without spilling
• Made in the USA
• FDA-approved / Made with BPA-free polymer
• Easy to Clean - Dishwasher safe (top rack)
• Great size - holds 16 oz (473ml) of liquid
• Eco-Friendly - more environmentally friendly than disposable plastic water bottles
• Long lasting- inner layer prevents odor and stains
• Versatile- use it an an icepack to aid injuries or keep food cold in a cooler or lunch pack
• Convenient - includes a sports cap rather than the traditional twist caps (replacement spouts (4) are available on the Vapur site for just $2.95)
• Smart – ships flat, which takes up 90% less space than traditional bottles
• Designed to go everywhere - stands up when filled and rolls, folds or flattens when empty
• Anti-Theft Prevention – includes a writable text area for personalization
• Bonus Feature - comes with a built-in carabiner- great for attaching to your bags, belt loops, bicycle, etc.
• Cool - available in the following six fun colors: blue, green, pink, smoke, purple, orange

Another feature I love (and you will too) is the fact that Vapur bottles are leak proof! I’ve purposely tried squeezing and throwing my bottle and it seems impossible – it just won’t leak! And it seems obvious that kids love Vapur bottles. I’m not sure if it’s the bright colors or the cool flexible design, but my 2-year old loves my Vapur. The funny thing is – my son doesn’t like water, but when I fill my Vapur with water, he just can’t seem to drink enough of it.

Vapur water bottles are perfect for any occasion and are great for both adults and kids! I absolutely love how flexible and durable these bottles are. If you choose to roll your Vapur bottle, it fits perfectly in even the snuggest pocket. Of course, when it’s empty, it’s flat – so you can just as easily store your bottle in your purse, diaper bag, gym bag, lunch box.

Vapur is the coolest product I’ve ever seen! I don’t have any complaints and certainly nothing negative to mention. However, I am confused as to why Vapur only sells their bottles individually. If you have a Vapur bottle, than you already know – one is never enough! Everyone in the family wants to use it and if you’re like me, you might just want to coordinate your bottle with your mood that day. It makes sense to me to offer a family pack as well. Perhaps a family pack will be available in the future, but for now, Vapur bottles may be purchased individually at the Vapur online store for $8.95.

Fit For Fall: Vapur Review and Giveaway

I absolutely love products that attract attention. Not because I like the attention, but  because I find it fun to tell others about the products that I enjoy. Vapur is one product that has caught the attention of everyone around, and for good reason. So, when someone approaches me and asks what exactly I am drinking from, I tell them this…

Vapur is an eco-friendly reusable water bottle. When it’s empty, Vapur can be flattened, folded, or rolled which makes this the most portable water bottle you will ever find. Vapur is the Anti-Bottle… I love it because they are so versatile – easily fitting into purses, diaper bags, backpacks, lunch boxes, and even pockets!

Vapur bottles are stylish, fun, colorful, kid-friendly and easy to clean because these environmentally friendly water bottles are made from flexible plastic (BPA-Free) and are dishwasher safe. They’re highly durable and can be used again and again, saving you hundreds thousands a year!

What's Wrong with Drinking Bottled Water? 
It takes 17 million barrels of oil each year to make water bottles for the U.S. market. That would be enough oil to fuel 1.3 million cars for a year. 37,800 18-wheelers deliver bottled water around the country every week.Manufacturing and filling the plastic water bottles, on average wastes 30-40% of the water involved in the process. Only 60-70% of the water ends up in the bottles on supermarket shelves. This is partly because the bottle-making machines are cooled by water. Most water bottles are made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is a polymer derived from oil. Only 23% of water bottles are recycled- 38 billion are land filled each year.

* Key Features

• Capacity: 16 oz (473 ml)
• Ultra-durable BPA-Free polymer
• Stands when full - rolls, folds or flattens when empty
• Carabiner attached for easy carry
• Writable text area for personalization
• Dishwasher safe (top rack)
• Freeze it, use it as an ice pack, and drink it as it thaws.

All Vapur Bottles include an attached carabiner keychain which allows you to clip Vapur wherever you like. When full, the Vapur bottle is designed to stand but conveniently flattens when empty. You’ll also be happy to know the inner layer of all Vapur bottles are odor, taste and stain resistant.

Getting my two-year old son to drink water has always been a difficult task to achieve. His eyes lit up once he saw my Vapur bottles. I filled a Vapur bottle with water and my son happily drank the water down to the last drop. Thanks to Vapur, my picky toddler finally asks for water instead of juice or chocolate milk!

I’m sure Vapur knew how much everyone would love their bottles because they’ve included an area to write your name on your bottle…The Vapur water bottles I received included sports caps, however Vapur does sell screw top caps as well. Vapur bottles are leak-proof, safe for the environment, fun for kids and adults! They save money from purchasing and recycling water bottles. One Vapur Bottle retails for $8.95, which is well worth every penny, considering it is long-lasting.
