Owala Water Bottles Are (Still) Taking Over TikTok — Here Are 15 of Our Favorites

It's the battle of the bottles, and no one is safe. While TikTok was previously inundated with glowing reviews about the Stanley cup, the tides have already started to turn. Enter . . . the Owala water bottle. The Stanley tumblers earned a loyal following for their insulated stainless steel lining and aesthetic appeal, but the hefty $40 price tag made competition for the title of "best water bottle" inevitable; we even compared the Stanley Tumbler against the Owala Tumbler to see which one really lived up to the internet hype.
Currently, TikTokers are loving the brand Owala, highlighting the bottles' wide mouth opening with two ways to sip, strategically placed straws, and fun, minimalist colorways. The vibrant $28 bottles even come with flip locks and clippable handles (not to mention the sleek FreeSip Twist design, which continues to sell out fast). And new designs are constantly being unveiled — Urban Outfitters just introduced so many cute Owala water bottles into its home category.
Another major reason so many people on TikTok are moving on from their Stanley cups is because of the spill factor. When put to the test (and by that we mean flipped completely upside down on camera), Stanley simply didn't hold up against other trendy tumblers, including the leakproof Owala. Rumors about the amount of lead in Stanley cups also caused some people to abandon their tumblers in favor of a different bottle. But even beyond that, people on TikTok say Owala water bottles just make more sense in their day-to-day lives.
One creator, a nurse named Mindy Lam, said she prefers her 32-ounce Owala at work because of its "effortless" design, with two different ways to drink — either by the built-in straw or regular opening. "I love this water bottle — it's super nice, super easy to carry around, especially in my bag," she said. Another TikTok user, Brenda Blanton, said that as a mom, she also prefers Owala. "I am not a Stanley cup girl . . . I have three kids," she explained. Enough said.
If you're ready for a change yourself, read on to see where you can shop some of the best Owala water bottles.
