What to know about water bottles
Your water bottle is something you drink from multiple times a day, often for years. The material it's made from matters because liquids can pull traces of whatever they're in contact with, especially with heat or extended use.
- Welpr focuses on what the bottle is made of—stainless steel and glass are non-reactive and won't leach into your water.
- Pay extra attention to bottles used by kids, since they tend to drink from them frequently and over long periods.
Check what your current bottle is made of
Look at the bottom or label of your water bottle to identify the main material. Focus first on bottles you or your family use every day, especially any that get filled with warm or hot liquids.
- Stainless steel, glass, and ceramic bottles are generally solid choices—if yours is one of these, you're likely in good shape.
- If your bottle is plastic, check for a recycling number on the bottom; even BPA-free plastic can still be a concern for daily, long-term use.
Use your current water bottle more safely
If you're not ready to replace your bottle right away, a few simple habits can reduce what might transfer into your water. This is especially helpful for plastic bottles.
- Avoid leaving plastic bottles in hot cars, direct sunlight, or filling them with hot liquids—heat increases the chance of materials migrating into your drink.
- If your bottle has a plastic lid or straw, try to drink without letting the liquid sit in contact with those parts for long stretches.
Choose a cleaner replacement
When you're ready to upgrade, look for water bottles made from stainless steel or glass. These are non-reactive, durable, and among the safest materials for daily drinking.
- Choose bottles where plastic never touches your water—if there's a plastic lid, make sure it doesn't contact the liquid; look for stainless steel or silicone-lined caps instead.
