I hate drinking water. Seriously- I have to force myself to drink it, because I know my body needs it. I don't know what it is about water that I don't like. We have a filter on our tap, and it tastes fine... it's just blah... water. Another thing that I dislike is the way my glass cups smell after they've been through the dishwasher. Adding plain old drinking water to a smelly glass and taking a sip is enough to turn me off for the rest of the day. In a recent effort to drink more water, I've been trying to find re-usable water bottles that are clean, easy to use, and help me drink more water.
One of the reasons that I drink less water than I ought to, is that I drink it slowly, and often times, it's no longer cold when I get to sipping. When I came across Polar Bottle, a company that specializes in BPA-Free water and sports bottles that actually keep your beverages cold, I knew I had to check them out, and experience them for myself. The awesome folks at Polar Bottle sent our family three of their water bottles to try out. They have a whole bunch of really cool designs, and I was determined to find one that everyone in my house would enjoy using.
About Polar Bottle...
Robert Heiberger and Judy Amabile founded Product Architects, Inc. (Polar Bottle) in 1994 from a garage in Boulder, Colorado. Both cyclists, they were interested in developing a water bottle that would actually keep their liquids cold on long bicycle rides. Since the first water bottle came out, Polar Bottle has gone through changes to improve the product, so it's easy to use, easy to clean, and does what it was initially designed to do- keep drinks cold.

I chose three different designs/styles of water bottles from Polar Bottle. I chose a heavy-duty design for my husband, who works in home restoration and is constantly working and sweating. I chose an easy to grasp style for myself, and then a cute kids bottle for Balian, two years old.

Looks like a cute little water bottle family, huh?

We didn't waste any time putting our new Polar Bottles to the test, Balian saw the 12 oz Insulated Sports Bottle (actually, he just saw the dinosaurs on it), and immediately knew that it belonged to him! This sports bottle is just the right size for my active little boy. It's easy for him to hold, and he loves the squeeze bottle concept. The dinosaur design on the sports bottle is a lot of fun, too. I enjoy being able to fill this water bottle with water before we hit the park, take a walk, or hit the road. It really does keep the water cool, and Balian doesn't need my help to take it out of a cup holder and take a sip from it.

I chose a similarly designed bottle for myself- the 24 oz Insulated Sports Bottle. The pretty April Showers design buzzes with blossoms and whispers that spring will soon be here! This water bottle is a large size, but it's a tall, slender design. It's easy for me to grab and hold, and honestly, I keep it filled with water and by my side at all times. I am drinking way more water than ever before, thanks to this awesome water bottle! It really does keep my water cool for a few hours. I squeeze a little lemon juice into my water bottle before I fill it up with water, and that gives it a little flavor, which I like. This water bottle easily fits into cup holders in the car, in the stroller, and in my carry bags, totes or even my purse. I drink my water from this bottle at every meal, keep it within reach while I work out, take it with me to every meeting, and to each musicians rehearsal. I have a few different water bottles, but this is the one I never leave home without!
Not without my Polar Bottle!
Now, for my husband, I chose the Polar Bottle Ergo Insulated Water Bottle. This is one of Polar Bottle's newer bottle designs, and has some pretty neat features, if I do say so, myself. This particular Polar Bottle features a half-twist cap, which my hubby tells me is super cool. It's insulated the same way the other Polar Bottle water bottles are, too- keeping liquids cold up to twice as long as conventional water bottles.

What really makes Polar Bottle water bottles different?
First of all, these beauties are proudly made in the USA, which helps us all, by keeping more jobs right here at home. They are BPA and Phthalate-free. Polar Bottle products are environmentally friendly, as they are made from locally sourced materials, and are reusable.
How do they stay cold for so long? Polar Bottles feature three insulated layers, underneath the outside plastic shell. This helps to keep liquids cool for twice as long, and you can even put your Polar Bottle in the freezer for up to 24 hours before use for maximum cooling!
Polar Bottle has tons of awesome designs- great for guys, gals, and the kiddos, too...

We are so happy to have found Polar Bottle, and for our family, these are the only water bottles we are currently using or ever want to use, again! They perform like a dream. The sports bottles are flexible, and easy to grab and squeeze... they allow me to take in more water at one time than I would just sipping from a cup. My toddler loves Polar Bottle, and so does my hubby, who is hands-on job sites all day long. With affordable prices, each member of the family can have their very own Polar Bottle that can be used again and again.
The Customizable Polar Bottle water bottles are so cool! Think about Polar Bottle the next time you're on the hunt for custom products for a team or event, promotional items, or even to give as 'thank you gifts!' Polar Bottle water bottles are something that everyone could and would use, time and time again!

No doubt this is very informative blog but i am also surprised if there is very simple way to open blocked website then why don't we try it. In this way only needs to click on one link and every site will open even if you are in school or in university.
