No one has time to hand-wash a bunch of cups every day. That’s why Reduce uses unique materials that make all of our products dishwasher safe. Effortless cleaning done right.
No more chipped paint or waterlogged cups – Reduce products are designed to withstand the big bad dishwasher and come out of every wash looking just as new as the day you got it.
Let’s take a look at some of the unique styles of dishwasher-safe, vacuum-insulated cups that Reduce has to offer:
The Cold1 Mug is a must-have for beverages on the go. Whether you’re bringing iced coffee with you on the way to work, toting water along on a walk, or taking a cocktail with you on a boat, the 24-ounce Cold1 Mug travels easily from point A to point B.
This dual wall vacuum-insulated cup with a handle and a straw is the perfect travel companion. The tapered design of the mug allows the base to fit in most cup holders so you don’t have to balance your cup or risk spilling your drink in the car.
It’s also BPA-free, sweatproof, dishwasher safe, and comes in seven stylish colors. From cotton pink to cayenne to charcoal, we have a color to match your vibe.
The Cold1 Tumbler is the perfect staple for all-day hydration. It holds 34 ounces and will keep your drink cold for 30 hours straight!
While plenty of vacuum-insulated cups are not dishwasher safe, this stainless steel, BPA-free tumbler can be tossed in the dishwasher so that it’s clean and ready to use every day.
In three striking colors with a coordinating metallic base, this cup has a 3-in-1 lid that makes it perfect for use with or without a straw.
Tired of your coffee going cold because you didn’t drink it within five minutes of pouring? Check out this mug. One cup of coffee or tea in the Hot1 Mug will replace your all-time favorite mug in the cabinet.
While most vacuum-insulated mugs are designed as travel mugs and may not fit under a single-serve coffee machine, the Hot1 mug is shaped like a normal 14-ounce coffee mug, except it keeps your drink hot for four hours instead of five minutes.
Plus, it’s dishwasher safe, so it doesn’t take any extra effort to wash and reuse the next day. This everyday mug comes in four stunning colors and has an adjustable vent that will keep your drink hot while cooling it down enough that it won’t burn you.
The 28-ounce Hydro Pure Bottle is the water bottle to replace all other water bottles. Not only is it dishwasher safe, but it can withstand a few days of use without washing because of the antibacterial material it is made with.
This bottle is designed to kill 99.9% of germs within 24 hours and will keep your water cold for 36 hours! It is leakproof, easy to carry with a silicone strap, and features an anti-slip rubber base.
The copper cap has natural germ-fighting ions and covers the large opening that accommodates ice, and the contoured lip makes it easy to drink out of.
The Hydro Pure Bottle comes in three gorgeous colors and is leakproof for all-day, everyday hydration.
The 17-ounce Performance Flask is another perfect option for on-the-go sippers. This stainless steel thermos will keep your drinks hot for 18 hours or cold for 36 hours and is dishwasher safe.
The leak-proof lid also doubles as an eight-ounce vacuum-insulated mug!
Another dishwasher-safe, dual-wall, vacuum-insulated must-have is the 12-ounce To Go Bowl. It will keep its contents hot for six hours or cold for 20 hours and is easy to carry and sweatproof, so you can bring your snacks with you wherever you go.

Impress your friends with your beer knowledge. These fun facts could even help you win at your next pub trivia game.
Did you know that beer is one of the oldest drinks in the world? In 1992, a team of researchers discovered residue of beer brewed around 3500-2900 B.C. They discovered this residue on shards of pottery in Iran.
That’s older than the first known writing, the Sumerian Script (which dates back to about 3400 B.C.).
There’s also proof of ancient beer brewed in Egypt 4,000 years ago. Essentially, beer is an ancient drink that’s been around longer than people think.
Beer is often mislabeled as weak or for light drinkers, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Sure, most types of beer contain about 5% ABV (alcohol by volume), but some varieties are much stronger.
In fact, the strongest beer in the world is called Snake Venom, created in 2017 by the Scottish brewery Brewmeister. It has an ABV of 67.5%.
Just like brewing beer is an ancient tradition, selling it has historical roots, too. Germany is home to the world’s oldest continuously operating brewery.
Founded in 1040 in Freising, Germany, Benedictine monks first started the Weihenstephan brewery. Today, it’s owned by the German government and is called The Bavarian State Brewery Weihenstephan.
Other than pouring yourself a cold one, here are three more ways to celebrate. Grab a friend (or a group of friends) and try all of them out on September 28.
Friends and family make everything more fun. Get everyone together for a cookout, some cornhole, and good music. Don’t forget to bring plenty of insulated can coolers for everyone.
These can coolers are really easy to use. Just twist off the lid, place your can or bottle inside, and twist the lid back on to secure it.
Reduce insulated can coolers are extra durable thanks to the stainless steel design. Since they’re double-insulated, they’ll keep your cans or bottles of brew cold for hours, even if you hold onto your drink the entire time.
Respect the beer and enjoy it cold throughout the entire party - it’s the best way to experience a new brew.
Explore different flavors and brewing techniques from around your state or other countries. Wheat beers are popular in the midwest while darker lagers have a following around the south and east coast.
Buy a few different beers from other countries and pour your own flight. While you’re drinking them, learn about how they’re made - you might just find a new favorite!
Make this experience the theme for a National Drink Beer Day party (the holiday is on a Wednesday, so maybe try out a work Happy Hour if you're looking for something a little more tame). Ask everyone to bring some beers from a different region or country so everyone can taste something new.
This idea is even more enjoyable if you have friends from different states or countries. Ask them to bring a beer from their favorite microbrewery or a beer that represents their country.
You can even make a game of it. Grab four or five completely different types of beer and pour them into unlabeled containers. Then, let everyone do a blind taste test and vote on your favorite!
The blind taste test is a really easy way to explore lagers, ciders, and different ales without feeling like you have to drink an entire can or bottle.
To keep the taste test blind, hide the label in our insulated tumbler.
Supporting small businesses is the best way to celebrate any niche holiday. On National Drink Beer Day, take the opportunity to visit a local brewery and try their most popular brews.
Don’t forget to leave a big tip and share your experience on social media. Encourage everyone in your group to leave positive reviews on Google, Yelp, or Facebook.
Are you ready? Get the gang together on September 28 and enjoy good food and cold brews. Explore ciders, lagers, ales, and more.
No matter how you celebrate National Drink Beer Day, keep your beer cold in your insulated tumbler. It’ll hold regular cans, tall and skinny cans, and even glass bottles. ]]>Cleaning water bottles extends their life, but it involves more than just rinsing them out. You need to scrub them properly, completely remove any lingering moisture, and keep them dry in between uses.
The good thing about Reduce water bottles is that they’re built to last! They can take a beating and are surprisingly easy to clean.
Keep reading to find out how to clean a reusable water bottle properly, restoring it to its original shine.
Germs (like common viruses and bacteria) love moist, wet environments. Reusable water bottles are the perfect place for bacteria to thrive. They’re wet, and water bottles with lids create a warm, damp, and dark environment that’s the perfect breeding ground for all sorts of germs.
How many germs, you ask? If you really want to know, a small-scale study performed on four styles of plastic water bottles found that slide-top bottles contained 933,340 CFU/sq cm (colony-forming units, the measurement for living bacteria cells). In comparison, the average screw-top water bottle contained 159,060 CFU/sq cm.
The water bottles that tested the highest held water or moisture in a location without the ability for the water to evaporate. Straw-topped water bottles, like our Cold1 Mugs, had the lowest concentration of bacteria and viruses (in the study, similar straw-top bottles contained a mere 25.4 CFU/sq cm). This was probably because the straws dried quickly.
Water bottles with screw-top lids typically contain hundreds of thousands of colony-forming units, but Reduce took a different approach to make our water bottles safer.
Reduce Hydro Pure water bottles have a copper lid that naturally repels bacteria and keeps your water bottle safer to use.
Taking care of your water bottles every day is a very simple task that pays off. Your bottles will last longer and you’ll stay healthier.
Use a clean sponge or bottle brush to scrub deep inside your water bottle with soap and lukewarm water. You don’t have to use boiling-hot water to kill germs; dish soap and warm water should do the trick.
Make sure that you’re using a clean sponge. Dirty sponges are a breeding ground for bacteria and could introduce more germs to your water bottle.
After you wash your water bottles, let them dry completely. If you’re in a rush to use your water bottle again, place a dry towel on the end of a wooden spoon and dry the inside. If you have time, just let the water bottle air-dry with the lid off.
All of our water bottles are dishwasher safe, too. Remove all the lids and parts and place them on the top rack. It’s still a good idea to dry your water bottle completely after you remove it from the dishwasher.
Have you ever forgotten a drink, unscrewed the lid, and realized it needed more than a simple rinse? It happens to the best of us. Thankfully, there are a few different things you can do to restore your water bottle back to its like-new state.
If your water bottle is particularly smelly or has really difficult stuck-on bits, remove all the pieces and soak it in boiling water overnight. To do this, boil some water in a large pot. Then, remove the pot of water from the heat and place your water bottle inside.
The next morning, grab your water bottle and hand wash it with soap. Give it a light sniff. If it still has a slight odor, soak in either baking soda solution or white vinegar.
Vinegar is an astringent and removes odor-causing bacteria. The best way to use vinegar to deep clean your water bottle is to fill it to the top with white vinegar.
It’s okay to dilute the vinegar with water, but try to use as much vinegar as you can.
The next morning, rinse out the vinegar and wash it by hand with soap and water. It shouldn’t have a vinegar smell, but if you think you can still smell the vinegar, soak it overnight in boiling water. After this it should smell like new.
Baking soda is a natural deodorizer. Add two heaping teaspoons into your water bottle and fill the rest of it with warm water. Give it a nice stir and then let it sit like this overnight.
The next morning, wash your reusable water bottle with soap and water. If you think it still has lingering odors, add some vinegar and let it sit for a few hours. The vinegar should remove the last traces of odor from your water bottle.
Don’t use vinegar and baking soda together. This creates a chemical reaction that could damage your water bottles if you don’t rinse out the mixture fast enough.
Knowing how to clean a reusable water bottle is key to making it last. Rinse them out every night and dry them completely. Hand wash to remove odor-causing bacteria as often as you can.
Don’t forget - all Reduce water bottles are top-rack dishwasher-safe. All you have to do is remove the lid, place them in the top rack, and let your dishwasher do the hard work!
Check out our complete line of insulated cups and reusable water bottles that are easy to clean and naturally antimicrobial, too! ]]>While you’re stocking up on colored pencils and backpacks, don’t forget reusable water bottles! They come in lots of fun colors and designs, so your kids are sure to find something they love.
Preschoolers and kindergarteners are still learning how to control and develop their fine and gross motor skills. They’re also high-energy at this age and do better if they stay hydrated.
In fact, studies show that kiddos aged 4-8 years old need about five cups of beverages per day.
The Reduce Frostee bottle has an easy-open flip-top lid that kids as young as four years old can open with the push of a few fingers. It’s just as easy to close and fits in the side pocket of almost any backpack.
This bottle can stand up to all the drops, kicks, and tumbles typical of little ones. The leak-proof design keeps liquids contained and backpacks dry.
Plus, Frostee keeps drinks ice cold for an astounding 15 hours. Send it off in the morning and their drink will still be cold when they get home.
Parents, this cup is super easy to keep clean, too. It’s dishwasher safe on the top rack and doesn’t include any hard-to-wash parts.
Older kids prefer the Hydro Pro bottle’s twist cap and bright colors. Thanks to the silicone handle, they’ll never lose the lid.
It can hold up to 14 ounces of water - that’s a cup and a half. The large opening is perfect for ice. Hydro Pro keeps drinks refreshingly cold for up to 24 hours, making it the perfect water bottle to prepare and pack the night before.
Just like the Frostee bottle, Hydro Pro is easy to clean on the top rack of the dishwasher.
It fits into the side pocket of most backpacks and is both leak-proof and sweat-proof. As long as the lid is screwed on tightly, kids don’t have to worry about their water bottle ruining their homework.
Finally, with a rubber no-slip base, it stays upright on desks and lunch tables.
As kids get older, their hydration needs increase, too, with teens needing almost the same amount of water as adults.
Physicians suggest teens drink about 64 ounces of water each day. The easiest way to reach this hydration goal is to drink two 28-ounce Hydro Pure bottles of water.
The 28-ounce Hydro Pure bottles are slender so they fit easily into backpacks. They also come with a copper lid and lip that are naturally antibacterial, protecting kids from common germs they come into contact with throughout the school day.
The silicone handle is easy to grab and can be attached to backpacks or other bags with a carabiner.
Hardworking athletes need even more hydration. The 50-ounce Hydrate Bottle delivers half of their daily intake needs without refilling a water bottle over and over.
It’s leak-proof with an easy flip-top lid that athletes can grab and open with one hand.
Plus, this bottle can take a beating. The extra-durable BPA-free Tritan is impact-resistant. It’s easy to fill with water or a sports drink and throw in their backpack or duffle bag.
The extra-large opening is easy to fill with whole ice cubes for cold water all day. The lip is easy to drink from - or use this bottle with a washable silicone straw.
Either way, this water bottle will keep your young athlete hydrated without having to find a water fountain throughout practice.
The Kids Water Bottle set comes in a range of fun prints and fits easily in almost any lunch box.
These bottles feature a leak-proof lid and durable BPA-Free Tritan material. They can lay in the bottom of a large box or fit snugly in a smaller one.
However, don’t let their small size fool you. They hold 14 ounces of liquid. That’s a cup and a half, making it perfect for young kiddos.
Plus, they come with a tray that keeps the water bottles organized in the refrigerator. Fill them up on Sunday night and they’re ready for the week!
Just like our other water bottles, these are top-rack dishwasher safe. Since they don’t have any small parts, they’re a cinch to just rinse out and put in the dishwasher.
Browse and buy the perfect water bottles for their hydration needs. Your small children and teens will all enjoy picking out water bottles in their favorite colors or prints.
Reduce Water Bottles are simple to wash and reuse. Back to school is fun when you have everything you need for a successful (and healthy) year!
]]>When you pack water for a camping trip, there are more things to consider than just how much you think you’ll drink. You’ll need water for hygiene and cooking, too.
Plus, some campsites and hiking trails have clean water spigots, while others don’t.
As you plan your camping trip, consider your water source. In this guide, you’ll learn how much water to pack and the best mugs and water bottles for your trip.
Preventing dehydration is the most important factor to consider when you are packing water for your camping trip. If your campsite does not provide access to clean drinking water or you will be hiking through a place that doesn’t have water sources, you’ll need to pack more water.
At a minimum, you should bring 2 gallons (about 9 liters) of water per adult, per day. Certain conditions and activities will increase this amount, so ask yourself the following questions before you venture into the wilderness.
Will you be doing a lot of physical activities? If you’ll be burning a lot of calories, then you should pack more water to rehydrate after exerting yourself.
Ice water is one of the best ways to rehydrate yourself on a hot day. The Hydro Pure water bottle will keep ice water cold for up to 24 hours. It can hold up to 28 ounces of water, so fill it up several times in order to consume the necessary amount of water for a full day of hiking.
If you’re going hiking at a higher altitude or in a hot climate, then you should pack plenty of water in a bottle that will keep it cold all day. The Cold1 Mug can hold up to 50 ounces of water and will keep your water deliciously ice-cold.
If you’ll be camping somewhere cold, then you might want a mug that will keep your water hot. This way, you’ll have hot water for tea or soup on the go. The Performance Flask will hold up to 34 ounces of liquid and keep it hot for 24 hours.
Plus, the lid doubles as a cup, so you can save room in your backpack.
Another thing to consider when you plan how much water to take camping is the health and hygiene needs of anyone in your party. Packing plenty of clean water isn’t just for drinking, it’s also for cleaning minor wounds or washing your hands.
Clean water is a very important part of feminine hygiene. If you or someone in your group will be needing showers, bring extra water so everyone can wash with clean, filtered water.
It’s also important to consider the mental health of everyone in your group. If someone in your group has a germ phobia or a hyperfocus on cleanliness, then packing plenty of filtered water will give them plenty of opportunities to stay clean.
The Hydro Pure water bottle has a copper lid that’s naturally antimicrobial. It kills up to 99.9% of germs within 24 hours. This is the perfect size for everyone’s pack so they can carry their own bottle of clean water and have access to it when they need it.
With everything to consider when you’re packing, you can just play it safe and follow the two-gallon rule.
That’s two gallons of water per person, per day. This is enough for hydration and cleanliness combined.
What does that look like? There are 128 ounces in one gallon. The Cold1 Mug can hold 50 ounces of liquid. You should plan on filling up three Cold1 Mugs per person for each day that you will be traveling.
If you are going to hike over several days, then packing your water in smaller mugs might be the smarter decision.
On the other hand, if you are going to be camping in one spot for multiple days, then you might want to fill up a larger container with filtered water and then refill mugs, like our Cold1 Tumbler, with water each day.
Since our mugs keep liquids cold for days, you can even fill one tumbler with ice and then keep filling it with warm water and it will stay cold.
When it comes to water, it’s always better to over plan and pack too much than to not bring enough. You’ll need water for everything from hygiene to hydration and cooking.
Sure, you can boil water and make it safe to drink, but cold, filtered water is so much easier and more refreshing!
When you plan your camping trip, how much water to take camping should be the first and most important thing you consider. Take your Reduce water bottles along with you. This way, you’ll have hot and cold water all day (or all night).
Imagine having hot coffee in the morning, without having to make a fresh pot over the fire. Plus, our reusable water bottles will minimize the amount of trash that you have to clean up after your camping trip!
]]>Whether you’re going to rough it under the stars or go glamping in a yurt, these items will help you spend more time enjoying your trip.

Hot water comes in hand when you’re camping - from cleaning minor wounds to making instant soup while you are hiking, you’ll appreciate having a supply at your disposal all day long.
If you’re camping in a warmer climate, you’ll love a water bottle that will keep your drinks cold for longer than a day. The Cold1 Mug can keep your water or drinks cold for up to 30 hours.
Staying hydrated is super important while you camp and clean drinking water might be hard to find at more remote campsites.
The Cold1 Mug’s incredible lid lets you sip, pour, or drink from a straw.
Plus, the sweatproof design means you can store it in your backpack without worrying about it dampening your clothes or supplies.
Choose from one of the four impressive sizes. The smallest size is perfect for a single camper. The 50-ounce mug is perfect if you want to pack your own water and use it over multiple days.

It comes in two sizes - 20 ounces or 28 ounces. Not only does it hold more than the average plastic water bottle, but it keeps your drink cold for a long time, too.
Imagine how refreshing it will be to drink ice-cold water after hiking a hot trail in California. Your body will thank you!
Reduce Everyday cares about the environment. Disposable water bottles and food storage supplies are common types of litter at national parks, trails, and more. Our water bottles, bowls, and mugs will last through countless camping trips and are less likely to be discarded where they shouldn’t.
Imagine how many plastic water bottles you can save from the landfill or ocean, just by using one reusable water bottle. Whether you’re taking a short camping trip during the summer or spending a longer time on a cold mountain, bring Reduce and keep your drinks hot or cold!
]]>But what does it mean, and is it really worth the hype? We think so, and here’s why.
First, let’s break down what double-wall vacuum insulation is. What are the components, and what do they do?
The outer wall of the insulated bottle is the part that you see and hold in your hand. This outer wall is made of high-quality, food-grade 18/8 stainless steel.
The inner wall is also made of stainless steel. It’s the layer that you see inside of the cup, the layer that your drink touches.
It’s important to note that the inner wall is not the other side of the outer wall! They are two distinct pieces of stainless steel.
So, why is there a vacuum-insulated layer between and what does it do?
Between the inner and outer stainless steel walls is a gap that is vacuum-sealed. That vacuum seal keeps air from getting in between the two walls. This vacuum-insulated layer keeps your hot drinks hot and your cold drinks cold.
But how does it know? Why doesn’t it make your hot drinks cold or your cold drinks hot? That sounds like magic!
The vacuum-sealed space between the walls affects the way heat conduction and convection. Before you strain to remember your high school science class, we’ll break it down for you.
First of all, when you talk about heat from a scientific standpoint, you are talking about temperature, not warmth. In other words, in science, there is no “cold.” There are only levels of heat, and when something feels cold that just means there is a lack of heat.
Heat has to do with the speed of the vibrating molecules. Fast means high heat and slow means low heat. These molecules will naturally move to reach an equilibrium.
When you pour a cup of coffee in a regular mug in a room-temperature house, it will “go cold” which really just means the heat will decrease and it will reach equilibrium at room temperature. It’s not going to turn freezing cold.
The same goes with a regular glass of water. It may be cold when you pour it, but it will turn to room temperature eventually when the molecules reach equilibrium.
To make it super simple, changes in heat happen by the way molecules move when they are close together.
So, what does this have to do with the vacuum-insulated layer? Well, the vacuum separates the molecules in your drink (that dictate the level of heat) from the molecules in the air, so the molecules in your drink won’t be able to reach equilibrium with the temperature of the air in your environment. The vacuum space does not allow room for air molecules, remember?
It’s not the two walls themselves, but the lack of air in between them that preserves the level of heat in your drink.
The rubber gasket is the ring of rubber that goes around the inside of the lid. The purpose of the rubber gasket is to seal the drink so that the vacuum insulation can do its thing.
Think about it; if the double-wall vacuum insulation protects the drink from the air molecules, but then there is no lid or seal on top, then the air molecules will be exposed on the top and the vacuum around the sides is pointless.
The lid’s rubber gasket prevents air molecules from getting into the inside of the cup and changing the temperature of your drink.
The materials used to make the double-wall vacuum-insulated bottles are an important part of making the vacuum work right.
The inner and outer walls are made with high-quality food-grade 18/8 stainless steel because steel is the best material to hold a vacuum. It is difficult to create a functional vacuum seal with other materials such as plastic because they are porous and allow molecules to slip through.
When it comes to making double wall vacuum-insulated bottles, using stainless steel is the way to go.
Some brands will try to make vacuum-sealed cups with clear plastic, and after a few washes, you’ll start to see water or condensation build up between the layers. That won’t happen with stainless steel because it doesn’t leak and doesn’t allow molecules (like water, air, or dust) to get past the wall.
Our double wall vacuum-insulated bottles will keep your cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours, and your hot drinks hot for up to 12 hours.
Bottles keep things colder longer than they can hot due to average room temperature. Cold drinks are closer to room temperature than hot drinks, so there's less heat transfer. That's just science.
We definitely think that double wall vacuum insulated bottles are worth the hype! No more room temperature coffee or lukewarm water, just your drinks at the temperature you want them to be.
Join the hype with Reduce Everyday, and check out all of our double wall vacuum-insulated products and order your favorite today. We have cups in bottles in a variety of different sizes and colors, so there’s sure to be one that perfectly fits your needs.
]]>Whether you’re trying to keep your coffee hot or your water cold, you need to make sure your cups are made from the highest-quality materials.
You need something that will protect your drinks from the outside elements and prevent the cup from sweating.
We find that 18/8 grade steel is the best insulator to protect both cold and hot drinks, which is why we use it in both our hot and cold products.
This material insulates cold drinks in the Cold1 Mug for up to 24 hours. It also insulates the Hot1 Mug, keeping contents piping hot for six hours.
After all, when you’re going to invest in a reusable mug, you should get one that works as hard as you do.
What is 18/8 grade steel? It’s all in the name – this type of steel is made of 18% chromium and 8% nickel, a powerhouse duo that reinforces the metal, making it extremely durable and resistant to both oxidation and corrosion.
When you invest in a reusable mug, you deserve a cup that will outlast hikes, picnics, multiple washes, and accidental drops - especially if you buy a kid’s mug.
We use 18/8 grade stainless steel as the main material in both our Cold1 and Hot1 mugs because it’s so durable. In fact, this type of stainless steel is so strong that it’s commonly used to make kitchen equipment and storage tanks, not to mention truck bodies and wheel covers.
If engineers trust 18/8 grade steel to fortify and protect heavy-duty equipment, you can trust your 18/8 grade stainless steel water bottle to hold in your drink and keep it cold (or hot!)
The addition of nickel and chromium in the stainless steel makes our cups extremely resistant to corrosion and oxidation. Rust and discoloration are common examples of corrosion and oxidation.
The last thing you want is a cup that will rust over time. That’s why we trust a stainless steel material that can withstand the elements without breaking down.
Our stainless steel is also really easy to clean. The Performance Flask is made to hold 34 ounces of soup or hot liquid, but you can easily put it in the dishwasher too. Then all you have to do is give it a quick dry and put it away. It’s effortless!
Turns out, aluminum is the worst cup material for insulation. It won’t keep your drinks hot or cold and it won’t last as long, either. Plus, if you continuously drink from aluminum cups or mugs, your body could build up toxic levels of aluminum.
Aluminum is a fantastic conductor of heat, which is why people use aluminum foil when they cook. This is great news for cooking, bad news for mugs and cups. Since it conducts heat so well, it doesn’t insulate drinks.
In other words, if you keep a hot drink in an aluminum cup, the heat from your drink will transfer to the cup and then to the outside air very quickly.
Aluminum is also not very strong. It’s a better choice if you want a disposable cup that you can recycle immediately, much like an aluminum can.
If you want something that you can use over again for many years, you’ll need something durable, like stainless steel.
Our bodies don’t get rid of aluminum when we accidentally consume tiny bits of it. Drinking from an aluminum cup, you run the risk of chipping bits of the cup off with your teeth.
If your body accumulates too much aluminum, you could have a toxic reaction.
It’s best to avoid this from happening by not drinking from aluminum cups. When you need to keep your mixed drink cold, use our Cold1 Chiller. It’s made with 18/8 stainless steel - safe for you and the environment.
Science can be fun - especially when it helps you keep your coffee hot and saves the environment at the same time! When you’re choosing a reusable mug, pick one of our cold products or choose from the hot collection.

Our mugs, bottles, and coolers don’t just protect dad’s drinks, they also save the planet. The more dad uses our mugs, the fewer plastic bottles he’ll throw away.
These are our most popular choices for dad.
Active dads appreciate the Hydrate bottle. It’s lightweight and made from BPA-free Tritan. He can hydrate on the go with the easy push-button flip top.
It fits perfectly in almost any bike (or exercise bike) drink holder. Don’t be fooled by the slender design. This guy can hold 50 ounces of water, enough to keep Dad hydrated through workouts, long days at the office, or relaxing days on the boat.
If the Hydrate bottle gets fumbled and falls, don’t worry - it’s also impact-resistant. It’s a durable water bottle that will outlast (almost) anything he throws at it.
If Dad’s short on time for refills, he deserves the large-capacity Cold1 Travel Mug. It can hold up to 40 ounces of liquid and has a unique shape that fits into most vehicle cup holders.
The best thing about this mug is that it will keep his drinks cold and refreshing for up to 34 hours. He can fill it with ice water before bed and it will still be cold in the morning, lasting all day!
This is a very durable mug too, made with 18/8 stainless steel. The dual-wall is vacuum-insulated to keep drinks cold without slippery sweating.
Add this Father’s Day mug to a gift basket with his favorite drinks and Dad will be thrilled.
What if Dad likes to pack his lunch or goes camping? Then he needs a 34-ounce Performance Flask. It’s made with our ultra-durable 18/8 stainless steel with a clean metal design that screams rugged and polished at the same time.
This flask does double-duty. Dad can use the lid as a cup or a bowl. Just fill up the thermos with hot soup with no need to pack along a bowl. The soup will stay piping hot for an impressive 24 hours.
It can keep drinks cold for even longer. Thanks to the dual-wall vacuum-insulated body, it’ll keep liquids cold for a whopping 60 hours!

Work hard and play hard - give Dad something he can use for the times when he enjoys a well-earned break.
This insulated can cooler does its job really well.
Whether dad is drinking a 12-ounce aluminum can, skinny can, or glass bottle, this will hold all of them and keep them cold.
He can also pour his drinks right into the cooler and use it as a cup!
Forget about foam koozies that don’t work - this insulated cooler will protect his drink for hours.
It’s amazingly sweatproof, which is part of the reason his drink will stay ice cold. If Dad enjoys hosting parties, then grab him a few of these in four different colors. He’ll enjoy handing them out to his guests so that their drinks stay cold, too.
The words ‘dad’ and ‘coffee’ go together like milk and cookies. Coffee is what fuels his morning and gives him the energy to do all the things that make you proud of him. He deserves a mug that works as hard as he does.
The Reduce Insulated Hot1 Mug fits inside most single-serve machines. He can use it to brew his coffee and walk out the door without any extra steps in between.
This Hot1 looks as amazing as it is in four different colors - ivy, eucalyptus, linen, and sapphire. Get his Father’s Day mug in his favorite color; all of them are made with the same stunning eggshell finish.
The lid is truly brag-worthy (like your dad). It has an adjustable vent that will allow Dad to cool down his drink and adjust how soon he can sip his coffee.
This is the perfect mug to add to a gift basket with his favorite bags of coffee or tea and a bunch of Dad’s favorite sweet treats.
Whether dad is a habitual coffee drinker, athlete, or enjoys time on the lake with a fishing pole, he'll love always having hot or cold drinks available when he wants them. Reduce mugs and thermoses work overtime, keeping Dad’s drinks just how he likes them.

]]>However, when you're dehydrated, it can take about three times as long (45 minutes) for fluids to make their way from the stomach into the bloodstream and to the rest of the body.
That's because dehydration causes the stomach to produce more acid, which slows down digestion.
Plus, less blood is flowing overall when you're dehydrated. It takes longer for fluids to reach all the parts of your body that need them.
Learn more about dehydration and how long it might take to rehydrate your body.
Dehydration is a condition that occurs when the body doesn't have enough water to function properly. It can be caused by excessive sweating, vomiting, or diarrhea. It can also occur when you don't drink enough fluids, especially water.
Dehydration can cause many negative health effects, including fatigue, headache, and dizziness. But the most serious danger of dehydration is that it can lead to heatstroke.
That is why it's so important to stay hydrated on hot days, after you work out, and when you're ill. Drink plenty of fluids, especially water, and you'll rehydrate your body in no time.
It depends on a variety of factors such as how dehydrated you are and how much water you drink at once. In general, however, it usually takes about two hours for your body to rehydrate fully after drinking a significant amount of water.
As for how you should rehydrate, water is the best choice. Sports drinks, such as Gatorade, can be helpful for athletes who need to replenish electrolytes.
Symptoms of dehydration can include:
If you are seriously dehydrated due to extreme temperatures or illness, see a doctor right away. IV fluids can be administered to safely, quickly rehydrate your body.
There are many causes of dehydration, including:
Dehydration is a common problem that can occur during any season, but it is especially prevalent in the summertime.
One of the best ways to prevent dehydration is to drink plenty of fluids, especially water. You should also avoid drinking too much alcohol or caffeine, which can dehydrate you.
When it’s exceptionally hot outside, bring a reusable water bottle with you and avoid strenuous activity. You should also wear light clothing, which doesn’t absorb as much heat as heavy, dark-colored clothing.
Eating hydrating foods can also help prevent dehydration. Fruits and vegetables are a good source of water, and they also provide other essential nutrients your body needs.
Dehydration can be a serious problem, but it can be prevented by drinking plenty of fluids, staying cool, and eating water-rich whole plant foods.
First, assess how dehydrated you are.
If you are dizzy, tired, confused, or can’t keep fluids down, see a doctor right away. IV fluids are a safer way to stabilize you once dehydration becomes dangerous to your health.
If you have mild dehydration, just drink water. The general recommendation is between two and three liters daily. If you’re in hot temperatures or are breaking a sweat, increase this amount accordingly.
Looking to increase your hydration? Get a reusable water bottle from Reduce Everyday.
Our sleek and stylish bottles will help you remember to drink your eight glasses a day. They’re easy to carry, fill, and clean, so no matter where you are, you’re preventing dehydration.
