Drinking water is something we do every day. Everyone knows that drinking more water is good for you. But it’s really hard to drink enough water. But you will also see some people around you who are just good at drinking water. Do they have any magic weapon?
Survey results show that many people do not drink enough water every day to meet the recommended amount of dietary nutrition guidelines. Especially when you are so busy every day that you don’t move your buttocks as soon as you sit down at the workstation. Who remembers to drink water? But the body will never let go of a busy worker. Without the moisture of the source of life, lips will be dry, skin will be dry, and the soul will be dry. Let’s take a look at the characteristics of these people who love drinking water.
What kind of cups do people who love drinking water usually use?
When we carefully observe people who like to drink water, they often use a sippy cup. After drinking water through a straw, there is no need for “self-discipline” at all, and the amount of water consumed increases steadily!
Using a sippy cup will make drinking water feel as easy as breathing. I don’t know how many friends have the same experience as me: straws have a kind of magic power. Regardless of whether the cup is filled with milk tea or water, as long as you put it there, people can’t help but take a few sips (and they still want to take a sip when they are full). .
Why do people like drinking water from straw mugs more?
Sucking is a human instinct. When we are babies, we suck to obtain the nutrients we need to survive. When “sucking” with a straw, people will unconsciously be unable to stop. So drinking water with straw mugs is more prefer by us.
If you like to drink flavored water, such as coffee, tea, herbal tea, etc., a straw can also make it taste better!
We don’t taste many flavors with our tongues, but through our retronasal sense of smell. That is, the more smells that enter our noses, the more layers of flavor we can experience. When we take a sip of a drink, the liquid goes directly into the esophagus, where volatile organic compounds may have difficulty reaching the retronasal sense of smell.
When you drink through a straw, the drink lingers on your taste buds longer and more volatile organic compounds are released. If you drink it slower, the flavor of the drink may even be richer after being heated by your mouth.
Are there any benefits to sippy mugs?
Sippy mugs have many benefits, such as protecting teeth, directly saving 50% of the steps to drink water, preventing choking, and many other benefits.
1. Sippy cups can take care of your teeth
Drinking through a straw can reduce the risk of your front teeth being soaked in the drink. This is great for people who like to drink coffee, tea and other colored drinks but are afraid of staining their teeth! If you like to drink sodas, sugary drinks, carbonated drinks and other drinks that may corrode your teeth, drinking with a straw can also reduce the chance of the sugar, carbonic acid and other substances in the drink adhering to your teeth.
Whether it’s teeth whitening or dental caries treatment, it’s time-consuming and expensive on the wallet. Just a straw can help. Isn’t that economical and affordable?
2. A sippy cup can directly save you 50% of the steps in drinking water.
The combination of straw + cup is definitely a super match to achieve 1+1>2. A thermos cup or plastic cup with a silicone straw is a good choice. It also saves 50% of the steps required to drink water compared to a cup without a straw. If you don’t believe me, take a look.
Drinking from a mug or water bottle requires at least 4 movements and at least 1 hand must be free.
1. Free your hands
2. Pick up the water glass
3. Put it near your mouth
4. Drink with your head up
Note: Some bottles require an additional action of unscrewing the bottle cap or opening the cup cap.
The sippy cup only requires 2 actions, and you don’t have to free your hands (making it more convenient for part-time work):
1. Put your head next to the straw
2. Can be smoked directly
The efficiency of drinking water is directly increased by 50%, which makes people sigh. We can buy one with a larger capacity and receive enough water in the morning to ensure the amount of water we drink for the day.
3. The straw cup is suitable for many scenarios and has a high usage rate, bringing us more convenience.
When attending meetings, traveling on business, or driving, we don’t have to free our hands to twist bottle caps, nor do we need to raise our heads to block our sight. Most straw cups are designed with lids, which avoids the embarrassment of spills. The design of some sippy cups has a strap that can be carried around when going out, and the bottom of the cup is narrowed so that it can be stuck into the cup slot when in the car. It is very convenient.
4. The straw cup is also anti-scalding and anti-choking, making it a good choice for children and adults.
Some thermos cups have unreasonable mouth designs. If you accidentally take a big sip, your clothes will get wet. When drinking water through a straw, the amount of liquid ingested is more controlled, which can prevent small and older babies from choking on large amounts of water.
So how to choose a sippy mug?
We divide the purchasing needs of a straw mug into several basic dimensions. You can refer to them:
1. From the perspective of safety and health
First of all, we must consider the safety of materials so that harmful substances are not easily released. The recommended materials for the mug body are 304 or 316 stainless steel or Tritan. Recommended materials for straws and accessories are silicone and polypropylene (PP).

2. From the perspective of water leakage
The sippy cup we choose should have a good seal and have a silicone sealing strip in the lid. This will ensure that the mug is watertight.
3. From the perspective of convenience
We need to pick something that is not too heavy, does not take up too much space, and is easy to hold and put away. At the same time, it can withstand bumps and bumps and can be built casually.
4. From an aesthetic perspective
After all, sippy mugs are something you see every day. If they look good, they will make people want to drink more water. You can also DIY your own water mug, such as putting on some stickers, etc., and feel like you have a brand-new cup anytime and anywhere. Who doesn’t like it?
Sippy mugs have so many wonderful benefits, and if you haven’t done so yet, let’s get one started.
