Anyone use Vapur Water Bottles?

[ReneeQ]

We are going to Disney in June, first time in the summer. Have been in the spring and fall before when it was hot, but not the dead of summer. I was looking at these water bottles, and wonder if anyone had used them in the parks?

We have each taken a bottle of water into the park (or bought it once there), then refilled at water fountains as needed. Then start with a new bottle each day. But you're stuck hanging onto the bulky bottle all day.

These fold flat, and have a clip, so we could fill at the fountain and drink as needed, then store flat when empty, until we fill them again. They're not really "budget," but would pay for themselves after not buying about 3-4 bottled waters. Just wondering how long they hold up? Years, months, etc?

I know many don't like the taste of Fla. water, but it doesn't bother us. We grew up with a well, and the Fla. water reminds us of our childhood.

I have been such a Camelbak water bottle snob, but these water bottles look awesome! I'm going to have to get a couple to throw in the kid's lunch bags. I don't like them taking capri sun because of the high fructose corn syrup so they take 8oz deer park bottled water. I feel bad about the waste, but these water bottles look like bags so it might be cool for them! Thanks for posting the link.

You're welcome! I have never heard of these water bottles, but there was an ad about them in my Sunday newspaper, so I looked them up online. They look really interesting, I just wondered how thick they were, will they eventually crack and leak, from all that rolling up and unrolling, etc. Maybe they're a brand new item.

Anyone ever used them before?

you can get free cups of ice water at counter service restaurants as an alternatives. The bottles do seem really great though.

Like the look of them. I wonder if they sweat much? Also I wonder how hard it would be to fill them. I don't use public water fountains so it would have to be from a pitcher or a drink (soda) fountain.

Going to have to look into these.

I love it! I have the same issue with water bottles when we are down there. I end up being the mule, carrying everything for everyone. We usually order a case of water and each take a bottle each morning. We each drink up a water bottle and dispose of it as soon as we can so we don't need to carry it. Then, at least I know, the kids have had a full bottle of water to start their day.

This year, we are going earlier than we ever have (September). I am planning on it being hot, so we'll need more water. These bottles would be GREAT!

Has anyone used them before? I am curious about how easily they clean. Does the dishwasher really get the bacteria out of the bottle/sack? We are staying DVC, so I would likely hand wash them in the room each night with soap, but I'm curious how they'll clean up at home.

Thanks for posting this link-I was just telling my husband the other day that someone needed to come up with this very thing, so we wouldn't have to carry around an empty bottle until we fill it again. I love it and I'm probably going to order a couple of them.

I still haven't ordered these, I really wanted to hear some first-hand opinions first. I have goggled some reviews, and the only negative I have found, thus far, is someone said they thought the bottles were a bit floppy and hard to drink out of, once they were less than about half full.

I also found these bottles at target.com, but it said they were not available in the store. I haven't actually checked in the store.

Our family of 5 uses the Neo Vas Stainless Steel Water Bottles with the Neo Tote Insulated bottle sleeve to keep the water cold for a long time. You can find them at freshwatersystems.com. My kids really like colorful sleeves and I also find that my kids last a lot longer during the day when they are hydrating all day.
