6 Mashable staffers own the viral Owala FreeSip. It's only $25 for Prime Day.
SAVE UP TO $5.20: Two sizes of the Owala FreeSip are on sale for 15% off during Amazon Prime Day. Get the 24-ounce version for $25.49 (normally $29.99) or the 32-ounce size for $29.79 (typically $34.99).
When it comes to insulated water bottles, Mashable staffers' loyalties are clear. We are not a house divided between Stanley and Hydro Flask. We are Owala FreeSip people.
I bought my own FreeSip because it haunted me at the gym. I couldn't walk between the locker room and the Stairmaster machines without spotting a few nestled in cupholders. After using it for over a year now, I'm not shocked that it's so popular: The FreeSip's leakproof locking lid has a spout and a straw so you can drink out of it two ways, and it comes in a ton of cute color combinations. Mine is a lime green, orange, and yellow number that happens to look just like my parrot, Melon. I swear that wasn't intentional.
My fellow Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino snagged a FreeSip after seeing it featured in a bunch of viral TikToks, and now considers it her go-to "emotional support water bottle." Her favorite feature is the cover on its spout; most strawed water bottles she's tried don't have one. "That way, when you're out and about in the world, it's safe from germs and bacteria," Mangino wrote last month.
At present, four Mashable reporters use FreeSips daily, and two of our editors share custody of one with their partners. We're extra-picky about how we spend our money, so when we all come to a separate consensus on a product, you know it's legit.
In a rare deal, the FreeSip happens to be on sale in two sizes this Prime Day. Amazon has the 24-ouncer listed for $25.49 and the 32-ounce version discounted to $29.97 — a 15% savings either way. Those are their lowest prices since last December, according to the price-tracking site CamelCamelCamel. (They weren't included in Owala's Memorial Day sale.) What's more, they appear to be their only discounts anywhere this week: All FreeSip sizes are full price at Target and on the Owala website.
The only catch? Both Prime Day deals apply exclusively to the Camo Cool colors.
