How do they work in a contigo insulated water bottle?

Molly, I have not used them in water bottles, I have an acrylic glass with a screw on lid and that works great.

My husband put a travel mug in it and didn't close the lid and it made a mess. He did the same with a can of soda. It works best with bottles, IMO.

That would depend on the size of your opening. They are 1 in square and approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch wide in the middle when frozen. When frozen they look like mini pillows - fat in the middle and tapered at the edges.They are very flexible when not frozen, so you could put them in and then freeze the whole bottle. They would easily work in a Polar water bottle. I have never used a camelbak so I am not familiar with the size of the opening.

I fill halfway with water and freeze overnight, then add cold water before leaving. Love these bottles. BPA free and lids that fit tight

Yes, this insulated Contigo cup does a great job keeping cold liquids cold. It does an even better job if you cool it down with ice water before you fill it with milk - if you need cooling for a longer period. These cups are awesome on all fronts.

the Contigo bottle holds approximately 24 oz. It is wonderful, it keeps drinks cold, it doesn't sweat. I put ice cubes in the morning and they don't melt until the evening. Highly recommended!

This model is not insulated but Contigo deos make an insulated version that actually keeps ice cold up to over 7 hours. My friend bought it recently @ Costco. She put ice in her water and by the end of the workday the ice was still in her bottle though she drank the water.

If I put it in the fridge filled with ice cubes overnight, it does a pretty good job. Because I drink the cold stuff within a couple of hours I'm not sure how LONG it works. When I drink the contents and refill it right away with water and let it sit for awhile, the water is usually colder than it was going in. Good luck. Its a great item either way.

Sorry I'm so late answering this question. My wife usually uses her mugs for Ice water and in the heat of the summer here in the low country,SC it is amazing how long the Ice lasts at least 5 or 6 hours. Now to answer your question; I placed boiling water in to the Contigo and after 5 minutes there was no change in the temp of the out side mug. after 40 or 50 minutes the mug was not warm at all but the water was still, HOT. HOT. HOT!!! Hope this helps. Old Frank

The normal water containers have a large plastic cap on them with a little paper seal that covers a plastic plug within the cap..do not remove the large container cap, only the paper seal over the plug. The water cooler has a pointed spindle...place the plug (that's under the removed paper seal)in the water jug so it lines with the cooler spindle and gently lower the jug down so the spindle pushes the plug into the water bottle....be careful not to get your fingers under the jug when the plug releases into the water bottle!

That's the strange thing about it...it doesn't. It sucks up the water and holds it. Then you slip it inside the outer pouch they provide. I used it at Disney World, it was really hot most the time. So I would use the bathroom break time to take the insulated pouch out of the pocket and run it under the cold water again to freshen it. It kept the insulin from getting to warm.

This bottle isn't insulated. It's a thicker plastic - the water will stay cold if you put ice in it - it will stay cold about the same amount of time it does in a plastic glass.

Yes, I have used them with the 1 liter glass Pelligrino bottles (that is why I purchased them). Be aware that if either the cork or the inside of the bottle neck is too wet they may pop out from the gas pressure. A quick wipe of the cork solves the problem and I have stored open bottles on their sides as long as the initial seal is tight. I have not yet used them with the plastic bottles as they come with a screw cap but I am sure they would be fine for that application as well.

I don't have the Contigo Shake and Go but they fit in all my cups with a straw hole. They are sturdy straws. I love them!

I think it would be fine if you didn't fill the bottle completely full. I would email Contigo to be sure.

Yes, they are wider than the original contigo 24 oz non-insulated bottle. These also work great, I live in Phoenix and it has been 105 - 110 degrees regularly and I'll leave my water bottle in the car for hours at a time and come back and the water is still cold.

I have not had this problem with any of my Contigo bottles. I do run mine through the top rack of the dishwasher. every couple of days. You might try this, if you have not done so already.
