Has thy cup been runneth over? Nope, that’s what this sleek water bottle is supposed to look like when it’s empty.

The Vapur water bottle is designed to collapse when there’s nothing in it. It’s made from flexible plastic (BPA-free), so you can roll it, fold it, or flatten it until you’re ready for a refill. That means no more clunky water bottles taking up precious space in your purse, backpack or briefcase. When it’s full, the Vapur bottle stands upright.

It’s a simple idea, executed smartly by Vapur co-founders Jason Carignan, Brent Reinke, and David Czerwinski. They came up with a chic, irresistibly squeezable solution to a common conundrum: How to drink more water when you don’t want to buy disposable plastic bottles or lug around unwieldy canisters.

The Vapur bottle makes a great gift for hikers, bikers, campers, kids, business travelers — anyone who hydrates on the go. Like Daily Grommet reader and outdoor enthusiast Molly Ruffle, who told us about Vapur, we’re flat-out smitten with this discovery.
