If you often find yourself deep in a TikTok rabbit-hole, you’re most likely familiar with the term ‘emotional support water bottle’. But for those who have a healthy social-media/life balance, let's educate you on what exactly an emotional support water bottle is and why everyone’s raving on about one; simply put, it’s the water bottle that comes with you e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. That 10am meeting? There’s your bottle on the right-hand side of your laptop – your saviour from small talk and awkward silences. A sweaty cardio sesh? Guess who’s tucked away in the treadmill’s bottle holder, cheering you on. Just like your keys, phone and lip balm, leave the house without it, and you know your day won’t be the same.
So, what exactly does it take to become an emotional support water bottle? A single-use plastic water bottle just won’t cut it, we’ll tell you that much. You’re looking for something with longevity, something reliable, a bottle that can truly go through all the motions with you and still stand strong. We prefer ceramic bottles, especially the ones with unbreakable bases. They’re ideal for keeping water at optimal temperature, even when you’re stuck in peak-hour traffic. Your emotional support bottle needs to be able to hold it together, even when you can’t, and that's why it should be spill-proof. Plus, who has time to triple check that their bottle is sitting upright, not leaking in their handbag when running late to a gym class? You don’t have to compromise on consumption preference here; you can find emotional support water bottles in twist-top, sippy or straw lid options.
Since your bottle is your best accessory, it needs to match your aesthetic. If monochrome is your vibe, we know you’ll be carrying around a black water bottle to go with your outfit. For our bright and bold gals, you need an equally vibrant side-kick; a neon coloured water bottle is it. Frank Green water bottles are a popular choice but there are plenty of options out there – here are our top picks, plus the outfits to match.
