“Drink your water." Advice we constantly get from health and wellness experts."You need to drink at least 8-eight-ounce glasses of water a day." What we hear from family, friends, and co-workers all the time!

Our water intake becomes especially critical when traveling. Staying hydrated is a top recommendation for surviving flights and keeping jet lag at bay. The problem is disposable plastic bottles are an ongoing environmental issue, but that is what is readily available in airports for purchase.

We used to be able to get as much water as we wanted once we boarded a plane but in this day and age, it can be hard to even get one glass during a short-haul flight. We've all experienced that awkward moment when we forgot we had a full bottle of water in our carry-on and had to throw it away due to current airport and federal regulations. We've all adapted over time and now carry a reusable metal water bottle with us when we travel. It does the job, but it's heavy and takes up valuable space in our carry-on. A great alternative is the HYDAWAY'S Collapsible Water Bottle.

Originally marketed to athletes and outdoorsy types, the HYDAWAY bottle is the ideal travel companion. It's economic, efficient, and a godsend when you're going through airport security. This food-grade silicone model expands to a full-size bottle when filled, but collapses to 1" thick when empty, so it easily fits in a side pocket of a carry-on or your purse. It’s BPA free, odorless, and easy to clean—critical attributes when you’re taking it on the road. Not only is it perfect for planes but also for weekend road trips and long vacations. It’s also great on hikes and will also come in handy on your next camping excursion!
