Muddy Madam here, and I thought I'd tell you why this stainless steel bottle has become my go-to water bottle in the car and in the gym.

We get to review quite a lot of water bottles, and the features that have made this flip top bottle usurp my past favourite are:

• It is light - the 500ml version is only 266g

• It has a safety catch to stop the lid flipping open by accident, which has happened with other bottles when I've chucked them in my hand bag or gym bag, and it's not fun doing a yoga class with soggy bottoms.

• The mouth design allows enough drink out, but in a controlled way so you won't end up with a face ful of liquid if you hit a speed bump.

• It has a nice hand-gripping circumference, so it's easy to pick up, and also fits in most, not all, cup holders, and the patterned version has a non-slip powder coating.

• The double-walled vacuum insulation design keeps your drinks cold for up to 24h, or hot for up to 12h - for optimum temperature retention I recommend putting the body of the bottle into the fridge to pre-cool, or swirl some hot water around to pre-warm before you put your actual drinks in.

• BPA-free or any other toxins

The 500ml one in the photo that's covered with pineapples is my go-to bottle for most things, and the bigger 750ml version is perfect for long car trips. There is also a smaller 350ml version that is the perfect size for kids.

Lastly, there are so many plain colour and pattern choices that everyone should be able to find one that suits their personality.

Prices: £15 to £20 (depending on size and outer design)
