@jwu719 I would disagree that this is the only collapsible water bottle thats functional and fashionable. I interviewed Aquatina who were doing this many many years ago https://www.google.com/search?q=...

@jasondainter @jwu719 I agree, Aquatina was on Dragons Den in the UK, there is also a patent on this type of collapsible plastic bottle that I suspect this will be in breach of if they try to market in the regions where the patent is active.

@jasondainter Hi Jason, we are a completely different product than them. First of all, we use food-grade silicone, not plastic, and our bottle is 100% plastic-free because we really believe plastic is causing too much damage to this planet and we need to reduce plastic consumption significantly right now in our daily life. Secondly, the designs share nothing similar accept they are both collapsible. Our design is in a unique and innovative way that it's spiral turning evenly spread the angles vertically, and the bottle will actually stay in shape collapsed and expanded, and can be used as a full-sized bottle and a half-sized bottle.

@morgano @jasondainter Hi, James. There are different kinds of patents - design patent, which many products could apply, and utility patent, which is much more complicated and requires higher innovations. Just because two products might do the same thing doesn't mean there will be a conflicts in patent. The material, the mechanics, the benefits, the commercial values will all determine whether or not one patent conflicts with another. We have actually filed utility patent in the US and internationally, we were able to do so because we were evaluated as unique utility design on silicone collapsible water bottle with spiral design.

i had one from Little Ceasars like 17 years ago that did this. sure it wasn't so environmentally friendly and trendy, but why the big deal with the collapsible thing? if i'm done with it, i store it. if i need water i fill it up and want it to be tall. so why do i need it to accordion?

@thejeremycarson Hi Jeremy, our bottle expends to a full-sized 20 oz. water bottle. It's convenient for people because they can collapse the bottle in half when they are done or half-done with their drinks so they don't have to carry a big empty bottle around. This is a huge problem, especially for women because we really hate carrying big items, traditional water bottles are definitely too big to fit in our purses. On other occasions, for example you are on a hike, it's also annoying to carry a big bottle when it's already half-empty. Use que Bottle, shrink it to a small cube and put in your pocket, makes your life much easier!

We would always chuck stuff like this in the dishwasher to make sure it's cleaned thoroughly, very hot temperature - is yours dishwasher safe?

@pointandstare Hi, yes our bottle is 100% dishwasher safe thanks to the silicone material. Silicone material can handle extreme temperatures hot up to 500F and cold as low as -67F, and is very commonly used in kitchenwares.

So many people take time to hate on a product that has nothing to do with their life. Great design/product @jwu719. Thanks for spending your energy thinking of the environment and great product design. I'll be purchasing one!

This is the first water bottle I've wanted to buy in a long time - I bought a Vapur back in the day but it got gross quickly and always fell over. Also appreciate the environmental mission!

@gillianim So glad to hear that! Hard to clean has been a huge problem for collapsible bottles and bottles in general, that's why we choose to use silicone material, which is stain resistant and super easy to clean. You can simply use boiling bottle to clean, and it's also dishwasher safe. We are dedicated to fight the war on plastic because it needs to change. Thanks again for your support! :)

I travel by road all the time and on bike. Something like can be really useful because space is a premium when you're on cross country trips on two wheels! All the best.
