We all know the importance of drinking enough water throughout the day, especially as the weather gets warmer. From apps that send you hydration reminders to smart water bottles that sync up to your phone, there are plenty of fancy options that will help you meet your water intake goals.
TODAY's Jenna Bush Hager and Dylan Dreyer proved that when it comes to reaching your eight-plus glasses a day, sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective — like carrying around a massive, motivational water bottle.
“Since I bought it, I drink a half gallon of water every day!” Dylan told Shop TODAY. Dylan said that her family enjoys challenging each other daily to finish drinking the whole bottle. “My husband got one, Calvin wanted one so we each have our own size and I’m obsessed with it.”
Jenna told Shop TODAY that she bought her water bottle from a targeted ad on Instagram and accidentally ordered a huge size. "Henry told me that I would never use it, and for a month… he was right," Jenna said. "I started to use it the day I got my first vaccine shot and did again today for shot number two!”
Jenna and Dylan aren’t the only ones who have been using giant water bottles to boost their hydration. Justin Sylvester, co-host of “Daily Pop” on E!, told Hoda Kotb all about the unexpected trend on Hoda & Jenna's "Trendsday Wednesday." A-list stars including Kendall Jenner and Dakota Johnson have been spotted toting around the massive water bottle. These might be the most affordable accessories the celebrities have.
While there are plenty of options to choose from, the HydroMATE Gallon Motivational Water Bottle seems to be the most popular. Chrissy Teigen previously shared hers on her Instagram story and Kaley Cuoco posted a video to Instagram in July 2020, where she named the bottle as one of the items that has gotten her through quarantine.
In the video, Cuoco said the water bottle, which has motivational sayings along the side, is “like a water bottle cheerleader that just pep talks you all the way.”
The encouraging aspect is a common theme among the bottles. Many also feature suggested time markers, which help you track your progress and make the 128 ounces feel way more achievable.
