Wow! I think the Vapur is an awesome idea. I am one to ALWAYS reuse water bottles and this product seems perfect in that it would be personalized and easy to use, carry and wash, which is fantastic. As I mentioned in a comment in an earlier post, it is the simple ideas that will benefit our society the most in becoming eco friendly. Creating something like this makes me believe we are moving in the right direction.

I am obsessed with this idea! I always hate carrying my empty water bottle in my bag because it takes up so much space. I love the fact that this bottle can fold up. Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?! It's also great that it is freezable and dishwasher safe. I know a lot of people that freeze their water bottles to get that chunk of ice, so this is a great alternative. It would probably be even easier to break the ice into smaller pieces. I think I'm sold on this one...a purchase is in the near future.

I would LOVE to have one of these! I hate how much space my water bottle takes up in my bag once it's empty so the fact that it's foldable is amazing. Also, being freezable and dishwasher safe just adds to it's appeal. It's also a great price point! Vapur has got me hooked.

This is awesome, but i can't help but think of the negatives. How durable is the "bottle" and the spout attached? i would think this would be prone to tearing, this spilling. Also, would it sit upright on a counter or lay down? If none of these concerns are actual problems then this idea really is fantastic. i personally would rather go thirsty than carry around a clunky water bottle in my bag all day. Plus i have yet to find a bottle that doesnt leak. show me that and i'm sold!

This is by far one of the coolest ideas ever and completely applicable to those of us carrying too much in our gigantic bags. The fact that it folds up is so unbelievably perfectly practical, that it almost makes you wonder how no one has thought of this before. How have our water bottles not been foldable all along? The great colors are only a bonus. The shape kinda reminds me of the Capri Sun pouches that we all used to drink...except those weren't sustainable, reusable, and practical. I think I need one of these in my life... now the question is blue, purple or green? maybe one for every outfit? Maybe I've gotten carried away now...necessary purchase!

Sarah Santos said...

Wow! These are pretty cool. I hate carrying around water bottles because of how much space they take up in my bag and I always think they are going to leak and mess up my laptop and anything else that might be in my bag. Like Alyssa, this is my only concern. But I think these a super practical! And what makes it better is that they are affordably priced and come in different colors. I think this would be essential when traveling. Love this!

I think soon, the trend in accessories is going to be things that save space in a unique way. Whether it's using less material, or simply folding to be easily stowed, any extra bit of space in a purse or bag helps.
Innovation within the design field always has trends, so it's interesting to see which things are practical and take off, and which ones don't go anywhere.
This has the potential to be helpful, I'd be interested in trying one out.

I absolutely love the idea of the Vapur water bottle! This is a product that I would find so useful especially to bring to my classes or the gym. I think it's very convenient that it is attachable and that I would be able to put it in the dishwasher.

Unknown said...

This is a really cool idea and I'm thinking about getting one. I always bring empty water bottles to hydration station to fill up water and at times I feel ashamed because the plastic bottles look so used and ugly. I love the color choices of Vapur, bright, clean and energetic. I'm not sure how long it would last before it wears off though.But either way, it's always better to have some substitutes for plastics.

I absolutely hate carrying around water bottles. Whether it's my cute eco-friendy bottle I bought from starbucks, or just a regular plastic one, either one annoys me to no end to carry around. The one from Starbucks is big and the paint started chipping from around the bottle which makes me feel weird about drinking from it and the annoying plastic "crunching" sound from a regular water bottle drives me nuts. It also gets me nervous to carry around my labtop and know that the plastic water bottle can leak or be annoyed that my eco-friendly bottle is taking up too much room.

I would definitely give this water bottle a try. I've always struggled with the idea of carrying a water bottle around. I've tried all shapes and sizes and this seems different because it can go flat and seems to be able to travel better than anything I've tried.

Rachel said...

I love this idea. I never have room in my bag for my empty water bottle and end up laying it down and losing it. I am always having to purchase new ones. The Vapur completely solves my problem. For me, it would be both environmentally and economically responsible.

Stacey said...

The minute I saw this on this blog I went to the Vapur website and shared the link with my friends on facebook and said which one do you want? This product is absolutely amazing. I am a user of the bobble which is a reusable water bottle with a filter built in. I personally don't like it because it is hard to drink out of. This is an amazing alternative to the bobble cause I can put this one in the dishwasher and drink out of it with ease. I am ordering one immediately.

Ashley said...

I think these water bottles are a great alternative! I've been meaning to buy a new water bottle, but hate how large they are. I can't seem to find on e that will fit in my bag the entire day, but this could be my solution. Christmas come early?

Amanda Rodriguez said...

THUMBS UP INDEED! This is incredible. I definitely went to the website to check this out. This is an amazing idea and whoever thought of it is a rich person. With my life being a cluttered mess I could use all the free space I could get and this would help a lot. Water bottles are such an inconvenience at times and having something that can be easily packed away is wonderful. I agree with Carly and purchase might take place in the near future.

Krista said...

I would TOTALLY! use this water bottle. I am not a huge water fan, I know everyone looks at me like I'm crazy, but I need flavor for something to satisfy my thirst. I usually take little propel powder packets and put them in my water bottles but one of the main things I hate about all reusable ones is how annoying and big they are. In my bag they take up too much room, carrying them is a chore in and of itself, so I would totally for sure buy this product.

Unknown said...

I love these water bottles, I immediatly bought one after reading about them because I think they are so handy. I am constantly losing water bottles because they are always so large and chunky and i end up setting them down and never picking them back up. This would completely eliminate that problem and save space. I try to never buy water bottles because I think they are a waste of money and bad for the environment but lately I've been misplacing so many water bottles that I've been resorting to carrying around water in a plastic cup. I think the Vapur is a great idea!

Unknown said...

I can't determine how much I like this idea. Growing up an athlete, I was always drinking water and would tend to just use Nalgeene bottles. They were larger than a water bottles but there are no harmful chemicals in the plastic and they are virtually impossible to break. They did take up a lot of space, but staying organized, it was easy to find a place for them. These seem like a really great concept, but I feel like they could easily get destroyed, or damaged having such a soft shell. I don't know hoe ready I am to give up the water bottles I just yet.

Candice said...

This would be perfect for me! I have limited space in my bag because I am constantly going back and forth from work to class, and by the time 1pm strikes I am usaully finished my water and the Nalgene just seems to take up too much space! I want the green one! I am a little skeptical about how well it will hold up in the dishwasher.. but that is okay, because I don't think I will own one of those for a while.
