Check out the Stanley IceFlow

We want to make something VERY clear. We actually don’t recommend the typical Stanley due to the handle and exposed straw. This is the Stanley IceFlow — we tested it and we LOVED it! Ours is just in a different color. One thing we like just a tad bit more about this than the owala, is it was so easy to clean.

We think this is totally worth the price, because we love everything about it. The handle flips down on both sides for easy carrying, and the top has a very flush design to it. It’s slimmer like the Hydro Flask, but hefty enough to really do what it says in keeping the water cold and even keeping ice in your drink for several hours.

We think our favorite feature is the lid to it — it completely comes apart, so you can really dig in to clean it, which is our main complaint about Owala water bottles that we can’t ever get into the drinking spout without scrubbing in between the tiny spaces.

Carrying Handle

All in all, there really isn’t anything we would change about the Stanley IceFlow. This water bottle is the right size. It’s not too big for carrying around and not too small that you’re constantly running back to fill it up sooner than you anticipated. We love having this at Disney World, and 100% recommend it to you!

Then, there’s the Owala

Owala Rapunzel Water Bottle

Everyone knows about the Owala Water Bottle! It’s a favorite brand that proves itself time and time again. It’s got a great design that comes in lots of different colors. It’s also got a soft close spout to it that locks with another layer to keep it spill-proof while you’re carrying it around, especially in your bag. It doesn’t sweat on the outside and keeps your drink cold along with your ice for several hours, even on some of the hottest days.

There’s not a lot of fault we can find with these. Their size is slim but ideal to hold quite a lot without the extra bulk. They’re easy to take apart and clean for reuse, and they’ve stood up to even the hardest drops on the ground.

You can never go wrong with an Owala. We also 100% recommend taking this to Disney World. It’s made staying hydrated at the park so much easier for us!

We tested both water bottles in the parks over different hot days for hours on end. So they both really passed the test, and you can’t go wrong with either! Is that cheating…ending in a tie?
