Vapur - The Anti-Bottle Review and Giveaway

Vapur is quite simply the most portable refillable water bottle on the planet. And by making tap water more portable, we hope to make bottled water obsolete.

Unlike rigid water bottles, Vapur is completely collapsible. This means it goes more places and fits in tighter spaces than any other bottle. Whether you are hiking the trails, passing through airport security or visiting the museum with your family, Vapur makes water infinitely portable.



Infinitely Portable
Vapur stands when full - but when empty you can roll it, fold it, or flatten it - making it easy to use and carry everywhere.

A carabiner allows you to attach Vapur wherever you like. And you can keep your bottles straight by writing your name on the back. We hope you'll always keep one handy - in your car, office, purse, briefcase, backpack... wherever!

Vapur can be sealed tight for packing and can even be frozen! Tip: freeze and use Vapur as a portable ice-pack or to keep water cold for a long journey.



Safe & Durable
Every Vapur is made from ultra-durable, FDA-approved, BPA-free polymer. Vapur is designed to withstand everyday use and regular cleaning. The inner layer is odor, taste, and stain resistant. To clean, simply place it on the top rack of your dishwasher then air dry as needed to remove any residual moisture.


Sustainable
Vapur flexible bottles ship flat so they take nearly 90% less space and use less fuel to transport than rigid water bottles. Our packaging is printed using wind power on 100% post-consumer paper. And we support water related environmental causes through participation in 1% for the Planet.


I received a Vapur Anti-Bottle to try and review. As soon as it arrived I started using it and taking it everywhere. My Vapur has been to the park, grocery store, post office and my backyard. Our weather has been really hot so I have been filling the Vapur about half way with water and freezing, then filling it completely before leaving home.

The bottle really does stand up when it is full. I also noticed that even when most of the water was gone the bottle still stood up. Once it was empty I flattened it out, rolled it up and tucked it into a pocket or my purse.

At the park one day I had drank all of the water, rolled the bottle up and put it in my pocket. When I got to one of the water fountains at the park I simply refilled it and I was all set for the rest of my walk.


The carabiner has been very useful. I can attach it to my purse or shopping bag easily so it's ready anytime I am thirsty. I can even attach it to my lawn mower. To clean the Vapur Anti-Bottle I just put it in the top rack of the dishwasher.

I am very happy with my Vapur, I will be buying more of them so I can keep one in my car and purse at all times. This is a lot better than carrying around a bulky bottle. I recommend the Vapur Anti-Bottle to everyone.

Wow! I have never heard of this!! And if Mr. Squirrel likes it, it must be awesome. All those nuts can be so dry, you know. I would probably keep one in the freezer as an ice pack, no more need to buy bags of frozen peas or corn!!

Judy,this is just so convenient!How sad I can't take part as I live half way around the world...I don't think I can purchase too,checked their FB page.But this would be ideal for me when I travel and the price isn't too much.
We drink purified tap water and buy water when we travel...this is not cheap.

Icy BC said...

This is such a wonderful invention! I would bring this bottle with me to all the soccer games activities!

Madi and Mom said...

Good morning J and Miss Cindi Lou,
Vapur Anti Bottle what a marvelous invention!!! I would love to eliminate my need for bottle water. I always keep a bottle of half water half ice with me 7 days a weeks. If I am lucky enough to win the drawing, I would take it with me to work, to lunch, to play, to walk, to blog, to ride my recumbent bike and beside my bed while I sleep.
Happy Tuesday,
Madi and Mom

When I go hiking in the High Country, I use a Camelbak, which has one really bad feature: you can't tell when you are low on water. So I'd carry this as a backup on hikes, and I would carry it around town attached to my purse. It's a great idea, and win or not, I'm going to buy at least one! Never have to fall back on needing another plastic bottle.

Sharon Wagner said...

I love it! And I can tell the squirrel would like his own bottle. So cool.

Lynn said...

What a terrific product! I'd love to have one and would carry it with me whenever on errands and out to the garden when working in it.

The Japanese Redneck said...

I like the Vapur! Cool!!!

Sandra said...

This looks like a very nice product. I don't usually comment on things like this, but this is something that I would actually try out. A hiker like me would find this very useful.
