Product Information
Full details
The Smidge Flip Straw Bottle is designed for individuals seeking a durable, reusable, and stylish hydration solution for daily life, whether at home, work, or during commutes. Its key benefit is keeping drinks cold for up to 24 hours or hot for 12 hours, thanks to advanced vacuum insulation, with the added assurance of a 100% leakproof flip straw lid. A potential caveat is its larger 1.2L capacity, which may be bulkier for some users than smaller alternatives.

FAQs
How do I clean the Smidge Flip Straw Bottle?
Hand wash the bottle and lid with warm, soapy water. Use a bottle brush for the interior and the flip straw mechanism. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before use or storage.
Is the bottle dishwasher safe?
No, the bottle is not dishwasher safe. Hand washing is recommended to maintain the integrity of the vacuum insulation and the exterior finish.
Can I use this bottle for carbonated drinks?
It is not recommended to use this bottle for carbonated beverages, as the pressure buildup can affect the seal and potentially cause leaks or make the lid difficult to open.
What is the warranty period for this bottle?
Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.
How long does it take to ship?
Shipping times are determined by the retailer and your location. Please check the shipping options provided at the time of purchase.
Does the bottle come in other colors or sizes?

What does '18/10 stainless steel' mean?
18/10 refers to the composition of the stainless steel: 18% chromium and 10% nickel. This alloy is known for its corrosion resistance, durability, and ability to provide a pure taste without imparting metallic flavors.
Troubleshooting
Bottle is not keeping drinks cold/hot for as long as expected.
Ensure the lid is tightly secured and the flip straw is properly closed. Pre-condition the bottle by filling it with hot water for 5 minutes before adding hot drinks, or with cold water for 5 minutes before adding cold drinks.
The flip straw is difficult to open or close.
Check for any obstructions around the straw mechanism. If it feels stiff, rinse the lid under warm water and gently work the straw back and forth. Ensure no food particles are lodged in the mechanism.
There is a slight metallic taste.
This is uncommon with 18/10 stainless steel. Ensure the bottle is thoroughly cleaned before first use. Try rinsing with a mixture of water and a small amount of baking soda, then rinse again thoroughly with plain water.
The exterior of the bottle is sweating (condensation).
This indicates a failure in the vacuum insulation. Please contact customer support as this may be a product defect.
The lid is not sealing properly, causing leaks.
Ensure the silicone seal is clean and properly seated in the lid. Check the bottle's threading and the lid's threading for any damage. Do not overfill the bottle; leave some space below the threads.
