Win Contigo - The water bottle with auto seal technology!

I love water bottles. I'm always sending the kids off with a water bottle when they go outside to play, to sports practice, or over to a friend's house. Heck, I send them to the entertainment room with a water bottle. It's really important to stay hydrated. That can be especially difficult in the warmer months and my kids spend a lot of time outside.

Did you know that our bodies are made up of 60% water? Did you know our brains are made up of 75% water? Every cell and tissue depends on water for oxygen and nutrients. Water also helps to dissolve other minerals and nutrients to make them more accessible to various parts of the body.

Now before you think I've all of a sudden gone pro-disposable plastic bottles, the bottles I send my kids with are the reusable water bottles. I have no desire to see mounds of plastic water bottles piling up in our landfills!

Not all re-usable water bottles are made the same. Of course, there are different sizes and different colors. There are also different ways they seal and different types of tops. Some unscrew completely. Some have flip tops. Some pop off. I've started to be very choosy about the water bottles I send the kids off with. I've had the tops pop off or the snap tops come open & get water all over everywhere.

I recently learned about the Contigo Auto Seal water bottle. It's a BPA free water bottle that uses auto seal technology to ensure that there won't be drips, spills or leaks. There are no spouts to open or lids to remove. All you have to do is just press to sip and release to automatically seal.


The Contigo Auto Seal comes in a variety of colors (blue, red, lime, charcoal and pink) and a variety of sizes (17-32 ounces). They even have 14 ounce cups for kids! It's made of Tritan, which provides high impact resistance and won't stain or retain odors. This is perfect for the kids to use when they go to sports games! You need only one hand to drink from it. You just press the seal to drink & it automatically closes when you release it.  There are no caps to unscrew and loose and my son doesn't need to take off his baseball mitt to get a drink.

There's even a place to attach a carabiner clip so I can use it when I go for a walk, work in the gardens or work on the house.  No trying to balance a water bottle along with whatever tools you're working with.  Just clip it to a belt loop and it's there whenever you want it.

Contigo products are sold at a variety of retailers.  You can check their store list for a complete listing.
