Win Ecococoon prize pack {$149.80}

I carry my own bottled water everywhere I go. It is my second most popular drink - behind a glass of wine hot cup of tea. The warmer weather used to give me a bit of jolt when my water bottle heated up in the car and it tasted awful and warm .

But don't toss your own water bottle yet and reach for a cold one from a shop – in plastic and/or a sugary drink. It's not very environmentally friendly either. Unless you slip into a pub to quench your thirst with free water (or another beverage on tap)

Ecococoon has solved my hydration issues. I was sent  Ecococoon, unique BPA free drink bottles for each family member to review. Constructed in the ultimate 18/8 stainless steel , it is also very stylish and functional drink ware . I  have these four 600mls bottles to giveaway.

Environmentally sustainable, and innovative with fun colours and designs featuring a screw on sports mouthpiece and lid .

Drinking water is essential to our health. There is debate about how much we need , in the warmer weather and humidity fluid loss is accentuated. I still go for a minimum of 2-3 L or more when exercising. Your own water needs will depend on many factors, including your gender (men need more), age, health, how active you are and where you live.

So we need a regular water (fluid) intake - losses occur continuously, through skin evaporation, breathing, urine, sweat (especially in summer) and the #2’s too. You can become dehydrated when your ‘fluid’ output depletes during normal daily activities, exercise or physical activity outdoors.

I trying to fit back into my jeans (more comfortably) so I’ve been drinking lots of water .While water isn’t a magic bullet for weight loss, it helps me by substituting it for higher caloric beverages and fills a gap when I really want to reach for cake or wine... sometimes. I keep my bottle with me always.

Founded by Brisbane-based mum Libby Versace, who was motivated to create the Ecococoon brand because of well documented health concerns over bisphenol-A (BPA). As you may know BPA is a synthetic chemical widely used in the manufacturing of plastic cups and drink bottles.

Ecococoon's sports bottle mouthpiece is leak proof and dental-friendly – it’s unique cap needs no teeth pulling or twisting to drink or worry about remembering to reseal the lid.

There is no taste taint even after 24hrs. My boys said they love it is suckable (is that a word). They love their bottles and so do I in the middle of the night. Also NO spillage in the car (or bed).



The thermal insulation keeps cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12 hours* (though an accessory is recommended and hot drinks are not recommended for use with the sports mouthpiece).

The most important thing is that my boys (and my Husband) are drinking more water. The boys leave for school at 7.50am and before we got the Ecococoon drink bottle by lunchtime their cold water in a single stainless steel bottle – wasn’t so cool.

Last summer by the time they got off the bus the water was warm and undrinkable! Cue tired and no wonder cranky boys complaining all the way up the hill 800m.

Their Ecococoon 600ml bottles last till they get home and they refill them. I don't need to send a frozen juice or worry about their hydration. I'll happy for them to have them anywhere in the house (don't leak). They keep them bedside overnight too. [350ml and 500ml bottles are available in awesome range of colours and designs ]


 It is saving a lot of washing up - if your kids are like mine , I used to end up with a dozen glasses on my bench. Everyone has their own colour (now you can buy coloured lids too).

  • The unique cocooncap™ consists of 2 parts. The cap is the base part where the mouthpiece and one way valve exist. The lid is the top piece that allows for sanitary protection of the mouthpiece. The Ecococoon bottle will not leak even if the lid is not placed on the cap. 
  • The unique one-way valve ensures a leak-free bottle in school bags, backpacks or handbags. 
  • The unique double wall vacuum insulation means NO condensation (My hand bag is safe from wetness too)

Ecococoon have extensively pioneered and developed the ultimate water bottle guaranteed to last a lifetime (with correct product care). I can’t vouch for that after 2-3 weeks but if you would like to give a go – enter to win your own and runners up 10% off voucher.
*Cocooncaps ™ are recommended for cold water drinking only.

With the kids heading back to school for the warmer terms this is a perfect giveaway.

Save money. Save the planet. Save the waistline. Save my sanity.....

Loving the thermal insulation, especially with summer on the horizon.
I'm trying so hard to drink more water, particularly with summer on the way. A super cool water bottle from Ecococoon could be just the incentive I need to drink my daily quota!
I'm also trying to drink more water but it has to be either cold or fizzy. One of my big bug bears with regular water bottles is that the water get so warm, so fast and it's so undrinkable. I love that these babies keep the water cold all day long. Winning and, no spilling!

The one way valve and unique double wall vacuum insulation sound great to me no more damp bag and soggy books or having to put the kids drink bottle into a plastic bag to avoid the condensation i would love these for my kids
I think teaching little ones the importance of drinking lots of water should start from day one. They are wonderful bottles.

A water bottle that doesn't leak sounds awesome and one that keep water col would be even better :)
My recent post Survivor
I am an active person - always out and on the go, buying chilled water and coffees can become quite expensive and it is my one biggest downfall to managing a successful budget but an Ecococoon bottle could change all that. I think its it a very wise investment.
We all love to drink water here. I'm not very fond of fizzy drinks so water is great!
I have bought more water bottles then I care to count. None have really been any good. These look fantastic, with every thing thought of.

I'm yet to find a drink bottle that's truly leak proof. So to know you've trialed these ones and they're reliable - beaut. It's amazing how one spillage can lead to complete catastrophe when it comes to children. My daughter's drink bottle leaked whilst travelling in the boot, spilling over her big brother's bag. Drenching his homework book, which wouldn't normally be a 'biggy' but celebrated, but..... the homework book was covered in his favourite and treasured V8 Supercars poster which adorned this book. The tantrums that resulted from the ruined cover, tears lasted through to the next day. And of course no other motorsports poster or contact would do. So yes, leak proof would be of great benefit for all the family members - reducing the result of one less catastrophe now and into the future.
Theres nothing like a nice cold refreshing drink in the car while driving - not the warmed up plastic tasting water that you get from a plastic bottle!

Most important is not leaking in bags, especially my hand bag. Great that they stay cool and are helping the environment
Really like that theEcococoon bottle will not leak even if the lid is not placed on the cap. I've battled so many disasters with the kids' bottles leaking in their bags damaging their school books creating much upset and anxiety
Two of the boys have these bottles... but we have another two boys who need one too. They rock and don't leak at all!!

I never drink enough water so to have my own Ecococoon bottle where ever I go I'm sure to drink my daily 6-8 glasses
I've been wanting to switch our whole family to stainless steel bottles.
My two boys have a drink bottle each that they keep by their bed. It pre-empts the "I'm THIRSTY" whine.
Biggest problem is that they leak when they get knocked over during the day. I'm constantly wiping up the water mess from their room.
These would solve two problems at once!
I'm yet to find a good water bottle that doesn't leak! I'd love to try these out, they sound amazing :)
The non-condensation totally has me!!!
My kids seem to go through drink bottles so often. i also worry about how clean they are getting when i wash them a stainless steel one would be great. I LOVE those milkshake cups, how cool are they!
Its scary what allowed into our food & drinking supply these days. You have to be vigilant, these would be great for my kids to take their filtered water to school.
To encourage the fussy family to drink more water!
I have 3 kids under 4, so to have a water bottle set that doesn't leak when its discarded in the car, or tipped over on the floor would be a lifesaver. I'm tired of picking up a backpacks only to discover the bottom is sopping wet from a water bottle. So if these bottles are as good as you say... you'd make my day!!
