Ensure the lid is fully sealed. Check if the bottle has been dropped or damaged, as this can compromise the vacuum insulation. Allow the bottle to acclimate to the initial beverage temperature for a few minutes.
Flip straw is difficult to open or close.
Check for any obstructions in the straw mechanism. Gently rinse the straw and lid components with warm water. Ensure all parts are properly aligned.
Lid is leaking.
Verify that the lid is screwed on completely and tightly. Inspect the silicone seal for any damage or debris and clean it. Replace the seal if it appears worn.
