i recommend it to EVERYBODYYYY because it's the best water bottle ever. i've had mine for years and as long as i clean it regularly it never gets yucky. the straw is hard plastic and is easy to remove to clean and the only two parts that are silicone are also easily removable to get in all the nooks and crannies. i have major anxiety about my water bottle getting germy bc i used to get sick from my water bottles all the time but genuinely my owala has never had that problem. AND it's cute, AND it comes in several sizes, AND the freesip design rules. being able to sip from a straw without the suction getting annoying because the top is open? HELL YEAHHHHHH
