Sports flasks, containers and bottles
The sports bottle keeps water within reach during exercise: a squeeze bottle that can be held with one hand, a large jug for a whole day, a bottle with a straw, and a compact model for the bag. Reusable, it replaces single-use bottles.
A large format jug lasts an entire session without needing to be refilled.
Which sports bottle to choose?
The soft spout bottle, which you squeeze to release the water, can be drunk with one hand while exercising, without stopping. The large bottle, with a handle, is perfect for a day of tournaments or hiking. The straw bottle allows you to drink without tilting your head. The compact model fits into a pocket of bag.
What capacity?
A small bottle is enough for a short session or a run. For an hour in the gym or team sports, a medium bottle is needed. For a full day outdoors or a tournament, the large bottle prevents you from having to search for a water source.
Plastic, stainless steel or insulated?
BPA-free plastic, lightweight and flexible, is easy to squeeze: it's the material used for sport bottles with a spout. Stainless steel, which is heavier, withstands impacts and doesn't retain tastes. An insulated bottle keeps water cool for several hours, which is nice in the summer.
Staying hydrated during exercise
Drink small sips regularly rather than a large amount at once, even before you feel thirsty. A visible bottle placed next to your mat or in the pocket of your bag reminds you to drink.
How to clean a bottle?
After each session, empty it and rinse with hot water, with the cap removed. Once a week, wash it with a bottle brush and a bit of dish soap, or with baking soda, to remove deposits. Leave it to dry upside down, with the cap separate.
Avoid bad tastes
Don't let sugary drinks sit in the bottle: rinse it out right away. A bit of diluted white vinegar, left for a few hours, neutralises stubborn smells. Bottles that are dishwasher safe are even easier to clean.
Carrying your bottle
In the side pocket of a sports backpack, in a bottle holder on your bike, or in your hand thanks to its handle. Other sport accessories complete the session, from headbands to neck gaiters.
A reusable bottle
A bottle used every day replaces dozens of disposable plastic bottles. It can be filled at the tap, at the fountain in the gym or stadium, and becomes a habit for every session.
When to find discounted sports bottles?
Bottles can be bought all year round, but summer and the start of the sports season make it a priority: summer sales and Black Friday are two great opportunities for a discounted sports bottle.

Frequently asked questions
Can you put a hot drink in a sports bottle?
No, not in a soft plastic bottle. For hot drinks, choose a stainless steel insulated bottle.
Can a sports bottle go in the dishwasher?
Some can, some can't: check the label. The cap often needs to be washed by hand.
How to avoid leaks in the bag?
Close the spout tightly and store the bottle upright. A locking cap helps prevent unpleasant surprises.
Which bottle for running?
A small flexible bottle that fits well in your hand or slips into a belt. It should remain light.
What does BPA-free mean?
The bottle is made without bisphenol A, a chemical substance avoided in food containers. It's a label to look for on the tag.
