Super cute bottle and easy to clean but it sweats when I put a cold drink in it.

Loving this tumbler. I waited so long for it, the shipping did take some time, but it’s perfect! The only thing i didn’t like was the plastic straws and that was just personal preference, I’m used to glass and metal straws so the plastic felt weird in my mouth. I ordered some long glass straws and now it’s perfect for me!Edit: I’ve read some complaints about white spots or discoloration on the lid, I used some of my wood cutting board oil on it and it fixed that. I think it’s just water spots from getting wet.

4.5 stars–Would buy again
Overall, this is a nice set of tumblers. The glass is thick and heavy (almost too heavy for me when it’s full bc I have joint problems affecting both thumbs). The silicone is smooth and thick, with no weird little tags/nubs from molding that stick out. Seems like it would not tear easily. The lid seems well made… very smooth wood or bamboo, and doesn’t seem like moisture between the wood and internal silicone fitting will be a problem. A few minor things keep it from being five stars (on paper, anyway) for me personally.First, the straws are rigid plastic, very fat, and not quite long enough for my taste, so I use my own silicone straws instead. And as the straw hole has silicone to hold the straw in place (see photo), switching straws isn’t a big deal. It’s also soft enough of a fit that if you needed to use a disposable plastic straw from McDonald’s, it wouldn’t collapse the straw.Second, the silicone fits on the glass like a sleeve–it’s not a permanent integrated part of the drinking vessel. But there doesn’t seem to be any way to easily get it off and on, so I don’t know what you’d ever do if water got between the sleeve and the glass and created mold. These are for my personal daily use, so I’ll just rinse them out from my herbal iced tea whenever I’m finished using them, and they’ll be good to go for tomorrow. But washing *could* lead to problems if you need to submerge it in water, like if you put smoothies or protein shakes in it, then need to wash it in a sink full of dishes. (It also has a hole in the bottom [see 2nd photo] to *theoretically* facilitate sliding the sleeve on and off. This hole provides another way for water to potentially seep under the sleeve during washing.)Third, if you track your fluid intake and are an anal retentive nerd like me, if you use it with the lid, it only holds 19 oz. If you fill it up all the way to 20 oz, putting the lid on squirts out a bunch of fluid, taking you back down to 19 oz. Yes, I measured. LOLStill, I really like these tumblers. Money well spent. And for me, the detractions aren’t worth knocking off a star.

Beautiful and functional. Seller constantly improving product
I’ve purchased multiple of these water bottles and love them. They’re very easy to clean and use. The only time I’ve broken one of the glasses is when I dropped them on concrete – generally, they’re very sturdy to regular tumbles and bumps that occur from normal use. They’re also quite leak-proof, with the seal being easy to break for refilling but hard to dislodge when knocked over. The seller also has an EXTREMELY generous replacement policy and will ship you a new bottle if your breaks within the first year.The main issue I’ve had with the product is that if I’m not cleaning the water bottles regularly (my bad habit is to reuse for a few weeks before washing), the ridges in the bamboo lid get mold that doesn’t come out. Trying to use vinegar to kill the mold only warped the lids and give them a weird odor. When I talked to the seller about it, however, they replaced not just the lids I had molded but ALL of the lids, and the new ones they sent were covered with silicone on the portion of the lid that would be inside the bottle. I suspect this will solve the mold issue I’d been having, but now I have enough lids to swap them out daily just to be safe. :)The newer line of lids also have a slightly wider opening for the straw. This fixed another minor issue I’d been having, where they were SO leak-proof that there wasn’t enough airflow to the interior for me to have an easy time using the straw – I had to rearrange and tilt the straw a lot to get water out and still would sometimes have to try harder than usual. This has completely fixed the airflow issue.The trade-off is that it’s easier for the bottles to leak if they tip over, which they didn’t at all with the original model unless you tipped the bottle entirely upside down. They compensated for this by adding four silicone flaps to add a milder seal around the straw, and the hole is now closer to the center of the lid so that water won’t reach the hole when tipped over unless the bottle is mostly full. Even then, the spill ends up being a series of drops, so I’m satisfied with the slight spill risk in order to have an easier drinking experience.The other element of the bottle is the straws, which I’m happy with. Each bottle ships with a clear straw and one that matches the color of the silicone. These do need to be washed regularly too so they don’t get gross (shame on me with my sparse washing habits), but when I’ve had gunk or even a bit of mold accumulate inside of them from under washing they were very easy to restore.Finally, every element of the bottle is fairly easy to wash. You’ll want a thick straw brush and a bottle brush for the most ease; a small hand could fit entirely inside the bottle to clean it without a brush, but it’s a tight fit. The trickiest part to clean is the ridges around the rim of the lids, but I’ve found this has gotten a lot easier with the switch to the new silicone covers around the rim.So, all in all a nearly perfect product from a very reasonable seller. I love using these bottles and switching out the lids and straws in different color combos, and they look and work great. Excited to see what else they do with their products over time.

Really nice quality
This is really nice quality. Glass cup with silicone sleeve and bamboo lid with silicone over mold to make it liquid tight. There is also a place for a straw which 2 are supplied. The only downside is that the straws are plastic. The whole reason I got this was because it is a healthier option for hot liquids rather than plastic which can leech chemicals into your drink. This is an easy fix though. Metal, silicone, or bamboo straws are easy to find online. All in all, really nice cup and I just ordered another.

So cute!
Practical and cute. It’s a good size. I like the colors and the sleeve that protects the glass.

Good quality and the appearance is as advertised. The glass, in my opinion, is thick and durable enough. The lid also has good suction and the bottle is easy to clean. Initially there is some “flavour” when drinking water from the new bottle but it goes away after a few uses.The opening on the lid for the straw is wide enough for normal sized plastic or glass drinking straws but it is a bit tight for plastic boba straws and not big enough for glass boba straws.Overall, the quality and design of this water bottle is great and I would be willing to purchase this water bottle again in the future.

Was looking for a cute water bottle this fit the bill. Quality materials used for the cup. Though the straws seem a little cheap
