waterbottles......reused...

[me!]

the plastic water bottles are meant to be one time use only, since leaching in small amounts may occur. This is what the industry says with some sort of backing from many healthwatch groups. But I think it is a concerted effort by industry to get you to buy more bottled water instead of making your own.

If your bottle starts to smell around the top, then I would say it is time to change. Always have several on hand to replace. besides, getting bottled water once in a while and reusing the bottle ain't gonna break the bank.

...just bored, and thought of something to ask....

...you know those bottled water, and how some people (me), reuse those bottles instead of buying more bottled water.....
...but recently, i find that these bottles really stink after a while, especially around the mouthpiece.....no matter how thoroughly i wash it, it still stinks....

...the bottles that i'm currently using are the ones from Canadian Essence, and Aquafina, and that one from Nestle....

...but from what i remember a couple of years back, i use to have one from Pierre, and I used that for over a year and had no problems with it....but then, my mom threw it out thinking that it was just junk in the house....
...but because i really don't like the taste of pierre water, i'm not really that keen on buying it just to reuse the bottle.....

...so, i was just wondering if any of you had similar experiences and would like to share which bottles are the best.....

I'd just reuse the bottle maybe just once. thats about it..or reuse it for the day and then get rid of it.

I find the Dasani bottles a bit thicker than others. I reuse bottles probably much more than I should, but I just can seem to buy water in bottles just for the bottles.

Dasani bottles are the best for re using , they are thicker and more durable .

it's funny that we are talking about the plastic bottles holding the water instead of the water itself
