Giotto Large 1 Gallon/64 oz Motivational Water Bottle with Paracord Handle & Removable Straw - Leakproof Fitness Sports Water Jug with Time Marker

I provided pictures so all of you can see how much of a difference there is between the half gallon (black) and the gallon (aqua). They are both Giotto. These bottles come equipped with a sturdy lanyard which make the bottle stupendously easy to carry around. The bottle itself is freezer and dishwasher friendly. I would definetly suggest if you are trying to drink more water or just need a jug to take to the gym, zumba or running. Both the bottles arrived in time and I had no problems whatsoever with the seller or with shipping. Thank you Giotto

It's as big as my baby lol I love it. I needed to stay on top of drinking water because Im breastfeeding and I wasn't getting in enough water. This bottle has been a life saver and I have been able to drink enough water and feel hydrated throughout the days. Its very well made and does not leak. I love the fun colors. I'm planning on getting one for my husband! I definitely recommend.

First of all, a gallon water bottle is huge. I know a gallon is a lot of water-but dang. I posted a pic of it next to a regular athletic water bottle for perspective.I am updating my review because I have to say that the seller really worked with me to make this product right. I was initially very frustrated because the straw wasn't working (at all). Turns out that the straw with my bottle. However, the seller sent me a replacement and with the correct straw, this bottle is really great! I love the paracord handle, very durable and easy to carry (especially when I am carrying other things or bags). My kids love it as well. I definitely drink more water on the days I use this bottle.

Purchased on 10/22. Rec'd 10/24.LOVE the purple color!! It is BIG, but it's a Gallon. I expected that. It's 14 Inches TALL. 17.5 Inches AROUND the bottle just below the top at the 7AM mark.I already carry another gallon jug so it is not too heavy for me. LOVE the coiled handle. Seems very strong and comfortable to carry. Does NOT scratch skin on fingers. Like the LOCKING lid. Very convenient. I wash it by hand, so don't use a dishwasher. The 2-piece STRAW - I'm really NOT SURE WHY it has 2 pieces. It came with BOTH pieces connected. The shorter piece lifts the straw to make it FLUSH with the top opening. The straw does NOT stick out once the lid is opened.  I have to grab it with my fingernails to lift it up JUST A BIT to drink from it. -------------Love the sayings on the side. The times are 7 am, 9, 11, 1pm, 3,5, 7 & 9pm. I don't stay up that late cause I have to be up around 3-4 AM to get to work. SO I start drinking long BEFORE 7:00AM. Nonetheless, I can still tell IF I get the Gallon finished. I finish it in the first 2 days of having it. Third day, not so much.  -----------------It is BIG, and does fit in my 2011 Altima's Console AFTER I remove the cup holder. SEE PICs. It basically fills the WHOLE area of the console. It will be hard to drink from it while I drive as the straw is TOO SHORT to lift OUT of the container.I'd have to use my 14 inch straw for that and even that only has about  1 -1.2 inches above the rim, but I can drink from it. I cannot close the lid with my stainless steel straw in it, but I just leave it on my desk at work and drink. I don't carry it around!. That  would be too much trouble to try to drink from it while 'on the move', IMO.--------------------The TWO PIECE Straw IS strange. I'm NOT sure WHAT the purpose of that is. Does anyone know WHY they make it in TWO pieces???. The little short piece DOES NOT lift it high enough OUT of the top opening to drink from it so I don't know why it's made like this.-----------------I put Mint leaves in a tea bag or in ice cube tray & freeze and put them in the gallon to add some flavor to the water. Helps me drink it faster with a hint of Mint flavor. Lemon makes it taste bitter to me:).CON(s) - ONE that I've found, but I MAY have been the problem. Yesterday when I left work, water was at the 1 PM mark. I put the jug in my tote bag and put it in the car on the front passenger-side floor. While driving home (40mins), the bottle fell over and was lying on its side for that time. When I got home & lifted it up, the side of the tote was wet and some of the carpet on the car's floorboard. SO, I KNOW it leaked. I'm not sure if I was the one that caused it by NOT screwing the lid on tight enough when I got in the car OR if it really did leak on it's own.----------I may test this theory.BUT just know this jug SHOULD BE IN AN UPRIGHT position at all times :):)----------Do LOVE the PURPLE color.Will get another one!! as a backup to keep at home and may keep one in my desk at work. That way I won't have to transport it back & forth.Drink Up people!!!!!!=======================================UPDATE 11/1/2020 -The STRAW - I found another piece of the straw! SO, its a 3 PIECE STRAW!!!It is a TIP that WILL stick out of the top.(It was in the packaging bag & I overlooked it).SO, I updating my Review to include pictures of the tip that sticks up through the top to drink from.Nubian

So I have been wanting to drink more water, and measure my intake. I also thought the jugs with sayings are so cool! I found this jug, and instantly started getting compliments from my kids. So much so I ordered 3 more jugs within the first week! ****3 more**** So I got one for my daughter who loved it and wanted to then join the challenge with me, and one for the bf who only drinks water and is a “workout-aholic”, and third for my ex-husband bc that guy needs to drink anything besides alcohol. LOL These jugs are sturdy, and have been dropped accidentally, but my daughter’s did land just right so the hing on the drinking part broke, and easy to clean. The colors are awesome, and the bungee cord for carrying are amazing!!! I would definitely recommend one for everyone you know!!! We all love our jugs, and have tons of people asking about them!

OK I like most people I struggle with drinking enough water as a medical assistant wearing a mask all day it’s even harder, but this really keeps you accountable. Not only does it give you motivation, but it also gives you a time limit in which to do it. The bottle itself is beautiful!!! iT doesn’t spill or leak has a straw that bounces up so it’s extremely easy to drink from. I’ve had to send links to several people wanting to purchase it for themselves. The para cord bracelet handle just makes it 10 times better! I fill up mine the night before and I usually put strawberries lemon cucumbers whatever and all day it taste amazing. Everybody at work what’s to get one to! I feel so much better! Buy this bottle you will not regret it

I really wanted to love this bottle. Truly, I did. I like the color/design, the markings on it that help me to stay on track with my hydration, and the paracord handle. However, this bottle is not leakproof as advertised. In fact, it leaks pretty badly, a fact I discovered on my way to work this morning when I had to aggressively apply my brakes due to some wildlife running in front of my vehicle. An accident was averted and no animals were harmed. However, when I arrived at work, I discovered that my bottle, which was on the floor in the backseat, tipped over and spilled nearly a half gallon of water.Sigh. My search for a leak-proof gallon water bottle continues.

Love it! Absolutely love it! After a week of adjusting to a much larger amount of water than I’m used to and having to run to the toilet every few minutes I am now finishing my bottle by 5pm and then having another half by the time I go to bed. It has really improved my skin to drink that much. As someone with family history of AMD I was told to drink a lot and this bottle has made it easier to up and control my intake.The strap is very nice and sturdy. I just wish the straw was even just 1cm longer but aside from that I’m obsessed with my big a$$ flask :)
