Travel, running and small bags
Main trade-off
No insulation and less stable to drink from than a rigid bottle
Care & lifespan
Wash and dry fully open to avoid odours

Collapsible bottles fold, roll or squash down when empty, which makes them convenient for travel, running and small bags. Most have a silicone body with a plastic cap and ring.

They offer no insulation, can feel less stable to drink from than a rigid bottle, and may hold on to flavours. They suit occasional travel better than everyday use. See the reusable travel kit.
