Swiggies is the new water bottle for the 21st Century. Drink and hydrate any time, anywhere, with a green product. It is the first totally hands-free bottle, contoured to strap onto your wrist and comfortable to wear over clothing.
Swiggies was invented as an alternative to bum bags and having to carry water bottles while exercising. This new hands-free approach is simple and easy to use. You just fill them up with water and go! They also make a great unique gift for anyone on your shopping list.
Dehydration is one of the most common serious problems faced by runners. The American College of Sports Medicine (www.acms.org) recommends drinking 236ml to 296ml (8 to 10 ounces) of water before a workout, 236ml (8 ounces) during, and up to 473ml (16 ounces) after a workout. Swiggies were developed for runners, but can also be used by cyclists, skaters, walkers, horse riders, aerobics, at the gym etc.
Each cleverly designed Swiggie holds 165ml (5 ½ ounces) of water or sports drink. It is strapped on to the wrist and has a pull top. It eliminates the need to carry water bottles, which can be cumbersome to carry, and break your stride when you have to stop to take a drink. You just fill them up with cold water and go. Both Swiggies supply you with 330ml (11 ounces) of liquid to complete your workout without the risk of dehydration.
Each Swiggie weighs 250 grams (a half pound), which is the perfect amount for running without stress on the joints. When they are filled with cold water, both Swiggies cool your wrist and keeps you from overheating. They can also be frozen.
Swiggies are made of the safest FDA approved, food grade, BPA-free plastic. Originally developed for runners, Swiggies can also be used by bikers, skaters, walkers and stroller pushing moms. You can even try freezing your Swiggie for a cold drink while jogging and since they sit on your wrists they also help keep you cool on hot summer days.
Frequently Asked Questions

A. Yes. The cap should be placed closest to your hand. And make sure they aren't directly over your wrist. Find the area that is most comfortable and attach them as tightly as you can while still being comfortable.
Q. Can I freeze Swiggies?
A. Yes. They will feel quite cold when you put them on, but if you are out in extreme heat you'll want them to be that cold. As they melt the water will still be cold.
