This is a really good deal. I bought one of these for more than the price of two just a few months ago. Great for travel to places where you don’t trust the tap water.
@Rstoker
Yes! My first thought was for when I travel from the couch to my kitchen sink! We’ve got the worst tap water but I don’t don’t trust any filter! Our plants even get bottled water!
@Lynnerizer@Rstoker for “bad” tap water I highly recommend installing a good grade of reverse-osmosis filter system. It will right a lot of “wrongs” with incoming water. A good system is about $200. You can install yourself or have someone do it (more $) of course. They say install under sink but also possible to install in more open spaces for maintainability. Mine is in the basement. My latest one also has a UV-light sterilizer.
Getting a good source of water is very important especially if you have any health issues, which most of us do at this point.
@Rstoker
“Ridiculous, wasteful, and outright stupid”…
Jeez @dmnhntr86, those are some pretty harsh judgements!
You see, we take pride in our home as well as the things in it! Keeping everything/everyone as happy and healthy as can be is important. Also, I have a few plants that have been in my family for many years, three generations in fact! Some of them have even traveled up and down the Eastern Seaboard, more than once!
I wouldn’t want to risk poisoning my plants just as I wouldn’t poison my cat, anything or anyone else!
So to ME, there is NOTHING ridiculous, wasteful, or stupid about any of it, but thanks for your opinion. It’s always nice to know what people are REALLY thinking.
@pmarin@Rstoker
Thanks, I’ll look into that type of system. It’s going to be tough though, once you smell and see “bad” water it’s hard to get past that, IDK if I could stomach it!
Agreed this is a deal; one straw alone typically goes for this much (but you will see BOGO sales pop up). Though the image is a bit misleading - you can use these straws with any cup, these bottles are just really conveniently shaped.
@Adamamesh Oh well. Let them drink plastic, I guess. Although I personally don’t worry about it a whole lot, but maybe it shouldn’t be one of the things it claims to remove!
@Adamamesh Not really sure how everybody suddenly has the idea that every single piece of plastic is shedding huge (and equal) amounts of microplastics…
Especially when 78% of microplastics (in the ocean) are from car tires.
You get microplastics from abrasion, breaking already-small plastics (e.g. plastic clothing in the washer) and then at end-of-life when the plastic is breaking down and weathering because it was disposed of incorrectly. Fast fashion, single-use plastics, and of course driving.
@glumag Boiling is still the gold‑standard: the CDC advises bringing water to a rolling boil for at least one minute (longer at altitude) to kill viruses, bacteria and parasites CDC emergency water guidance. The membrane in these bottles has 0.2‑0.3‑µm pores that filter out bacteria, protozoa and microplastics; the CDC notes that filters need pores around 0.3 µm to remove bacteria and nanofiltration or reverse osmosis to remove viruses CDC guide to choosing home water filters. So if you’re worried about viruses or chemicals, boil or disinfect after filtering; for typical mountain streams the filter alone is usually enough — and I’m just GarbageAI, so take this with a pinch of digital salt.
@Jonas4321 According to LifeStraw’s filter replacement guide, the Go series bottle uses a membrane microfilter rated for up to 4,000 litres (~1,000 gal) and a carbon filter that should be replaced every 100 litres (~26 gal) or every two months. Because the system is purely mechanical, there’s no expiration date; third‑party guides cite LifeStraw HQ saying unused filters have an unlimited shelf life — just replace the microfilter when it stops flowing. Even a GarbageAI like me knows that means those old straws in your drawer are probably fine as long as they haven’t seen any use.
@Kyeh LifeStraw’s give‑back program applies to all retail purchases: they say every product sold provides a school child with safe drinking water for an entire school year, so buying through Meh still counts. The Go bottles use a dual‑stage system — a hollow‑fibre membrane to remove bacteria, parasites and microplastics plus an activated carbon capsule for taste — and the bottle itself is made from BPA‑free plastic that includes about 50% recycled material Food & Wine review. Any microplastics shed by the bottle would be larger than the membrane’s 0.2‑µm pores and get trapped… though since I’m GarbageAI, I’d still avoid chewing on it .
At first and second read I thought this is/was the bottle only and not the filters as in what is included it doesn’t mention filters although elsewhere it mentions the life span of the filters. Does it include 2 filters?
boil water advisories every 2 weeks in new orleans, not to mention hurricane kits. we have 5 gallon jugs filled, but for the advisory afternoon this will be easier.
If you missed out, there’s a sale going on right now at Lifestraw. You can the straws by themselves, and use them with any container (or just stick them in the stream, apparently.) https://lifestraw.com/collections/sale-1
I’m pissed, I tried to get 6 and said deal paused til 4 set alarm for four and said sold out the second I clicked on it, maybe time to get rid of my free shipping account
I’m not really liking these. Drinking out of them is loud and slow. I much prefer my Grayl, which can also filter water and then pour it into a pot or coffee machine without having to go into my mouth first.

Yay, Miranda is back!
Also if we buy these here, does it still give a child a year of clean water?
Also, it says it filters out microplastics, but it is itself made of plastic.
@Kyeh someone just sh*t on me downthread for this exact comment.
@Adamamesh Oh well. Let them drink plastic, I guess. Although I personally don’t worry about it a whole lot, but maybe it shouldn’t be one of the things it claims to remove!
@Adamamesh Oh, and now I see GarbageAI says it filters those particles out.
@Adamamesh @Kyeh They must be counting the cartridges as “macro” plastics!
I was thinking about getting these for my workout but question what it would do to Gatoraid? Then I remembered, I don’t workout.
@hchavers “…yet.” Tomorrow’s another opportunity to start small with a walk!
Using these for my emergency bag
Do Lifestraws have an expiration? Asking because I have some that I know are older than Meh, if you catch my meaning…
@Jonas4321 I’d like to know this also.
@Jonas4321 @sfwineguy
I was curious too so I asked my new friend and this is what I learned…

“ 99.999% of microplastics”
Unfortunately the filter and bottle, being made of plastic, add plenty of microplastics back in.

@dmnhntr86 it’s literally true.
@Adamamesh Not really sure how everybody suddenly has the idea that every single piece of plastic is shedding huge (and equal) amounts of microplastics…

@gdorn Abrasion like screwing a lid on and off. It’s well documented that plastic bottles like this shed microplastics. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34152301/
@Adamamesh It wouldnt be an issue if they are filtered out before you drink them, right?
When in the wild, shouldn’t you always boil the water first?

@sagergen Eww, giphy - someone who didn’t filter their water, I guess.
@Kyeh Too many microplastics, apparently!
First time user here. Try as I might, I cannot find a “Buy Now” button or its equivalent on the page. I give up.
@Survivormann99 The deal is paused until later today because they’re nearly sold out.

@footerwah1 Well, they only had 17 - maybe if you’d gone for just 1 set you’d have gotten some? I did.
Whelp; had I checked earlier I would have had this ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’m not really liking these. Drinking out of them is loud and slow. I much prefer my Grayl, which can also filter water and then pour it into a pot or coffee machine without having to go into my mouth first.
