Water Bottles -- Really stupid question

[LuvCuteBoys]

This might be the dumbest question ever asked on the Dis

Does anyone make reusable/refillable water bottles that have some "give" to them? You know how a plastic water bottle you buy at the grocery store is kinda... squishy? I'm looking for something like that, but reusable.

I don't want one of those water system things that you put on your back. I need the security blanket of a water bottle to hold in my hand... but the aluminum and harder plastic ones aren't doing it for me.

Told ya it was dumb

Why can't you just reuse one of the grocery ones?

We buy "soft" ones at the supermarket in the seasonal area or in Walmart's seasonal area for our daughters. We buy the Rubbermaid ones at the supermarket for us. They aren't as "squishy" as the ones we buy the kids.

RE: reusing the bottles from the grocery store... I've read that you aren't supposed to refill/reuse those... something about the chemicals in the bottle itself or something like that.

Rubbermaid, huh? I never thought of that. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

I think that is a total urban legend -- probably started by a company selling reusable bottles, lol.

Hmmm... it looks like you could be right. http://http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/plasticbottles.asp

Interesting. I know that I read it in at least one fitness-type magazine, and probably more than once or it wouldn't have stuck with me.

This is my favorite kind:

And it's the BPA in plastic (not just water bottles) that has been linked to cancer. It's supposed to be of higher risk when in the heat so don't leave water bottles in cars, or anything food container for that matter... at least ones made of plastic.

This http://www.camelbak.com/sports-recreation/bottles/podium-bottle-21oz.aspx is my favorite. It doesn't leak, and it doesn't "over squirt." I choked one too many times on the treadmill with getting more water than I wanted, and thus began the search for this bottle. It is a little squishy.

Bobble water bottles have a lot give, and they have a filter in it. I just bought 5 for our upcoming trip to Disney.

Oh, I like that. Thanks.
