Contigo Water Bottles Appeal to Seniors Like No Others

If you are like I am, "up there in years," trying to drive and manipulate your water bottle while doing so can be dangerous to your health. This doesn't even take into account the major inconveniences (such as, dropping the cap while trying to steer, spilling your water, or maybe even the bottle springing a leak around the lid because you didn't get it capped just right).

So then you are left to drive while continuing to hold your water bottle (and maybe even with wet clothes) until it's convenient to pull off the road and dive for your lid that has fallen down onto the floor out of sight (not an easy trick for us age-impaired citizens!), or maybe it landed somewhere in the middle console, or maybe it even bounced way back under your seat.

Whatever, it is a bothersome situation.

Well, you need to become acquainted with Contigo water bottles, because they can alleviate all of the above! Yes, you read that right.

Contigo has a line of water bottles that will fill all your needs for water on the go and that eliminates the need to screw with a cap (pardon the pun!), because Contigo has come up with an ingenious little alternative that allows you to press the button to drink and then release it, all of which allows the bottle to re-seal itself so that it cannot leak!

So how's that for simplicity in modern technology? (Of course, those of us farther along in years know that modern technology is usually anything BUT simple, right?)

Now if you don't like the idea of drinking out of plastic, rest assured that the kind of plastic that Contigo employs to provide these little beauties is 100% free of BPA, which, according to what the Mayo Clinic states on its site that "... there is 'some concern' about the possible health effects of BPA on the brain, behavior and prostate gland of fetuses, infants and children... The FDA now shares this... concern and is taking steps to reduce human exposure to BPA in the food supply... and in food containers."

Another really handy feature of the Contigo bottles is the carabiner clip that they have attached to the bottle's handle, making it really handy to carry around, as it can be clipped onto a belt loop, purse, backpack, or anywhere else you can think of where it would be feasible.

A couple of other things you will like is that the Contigo water bottles are dishwasher safe and come with wide open mouths to accommodate your adding ice cubes, whereas so many similar products do not.

Here are a couple of "don'ts" when using the Contigo:

1 - Never ever put it in the microwave.
2 - Never ever use harsh cleaners like bleach or abrasives.
3 - Never ever put it in the freezer.
4 - Never fill it above the lid threading.
5 - Never fill it with carbonated drinks; as with any other container, the carbonation may cause it to spray or leak.

Conveniences and features aside though, Contigo provides a large selection in a variety of gorgeous colors, from turquoise to hot pink to charcoal and many others, so you're sure to find one that appeals to you. Tip: Contigos make great gifts, and you're sure to find one in just the right color for whoever you are gifting.
