Making sure you get enough water every day can be tough, but having a reusable water bottle to carry with you definitely helps. If you spend any time on Instagram or Tik Tok, you’ve probably already heard of the most popular option: the Stanley Adventure Quencher.
It’s not just social media influencers and celebrities who can’t get enough of it, though. This insulated tumbler is so sought-after that it usually sells out within days of coming back in stock.
Not sure what all the fuss is about? Check out the background on this famous water bottle and learn where you can pick it up. We’ve also found some alternatives if you want an insulated tumbler and don’t want to wait for the Stanley Adventure Quencher to be restocked.
Stanley’s history dates back to 1913, when its founder William Stanley, Jr. first fused vacuum insulation with steel to create a bottle that helped maintain the inside temperature. The brand has evolved to include food storage, coolers, jugs and camp cookware in addition to its drinkware, but all its products are designed to be durable and hold up to outdoor use.
The Stanley Adventure Quencher has generated the most buzz for the brand in recent years, though.
It is an insulated tumbler that holds 40 ounces, making it larger than many other water bottles. It’s made of double-walled stainless steel and uses vacuum insulation that can keep your water cold for up to 11 hours. Its lid also allows for three positions, including a spot for a reusable straw, an opening for sipping and a completely closed lid to prevent spills.
The Adventure Quencher and other insulated tumblers are usually the water bottle of choice among those who drink water regularly. But it's also an ideal choice if you drink coffee, tea or other hot beverages. That’s because the insulation helps the liquid inside maintain its temperature. So if you fill it with ice-cold water, it will stay cold all day. Hot beverages typically stay warm inside an insulated tumbler for several hours.
Stainless steel insulated tumblers are also more durable than plastic water bottles, which can crack if dropped. Stainless steel isn’t as porous as plastic, either, so it doesn’t develop bacteria, stains or odors as easily.
The Adventure Quencher is similar to many other insulated tumblers, but it offers some standout features to set it apart. In particular, its color range of more than 11 shades, including pretty pastels like baby blue, lilac and pale pink, is one of the reasons that Tik Tok and Instagram influencers are so taken with it.
But there are also some practical reasons this tumbler sells out so quickly. It has a tapered base that fits in most car cup holders, so you have a secure spot to put it during your commute. Unlike some other insulated tumblers, the Adventure Quencher also has an ergonomically designed handle that makes it easy to carry when you’re on the go. Given its large size, that’s a key feature.
