About Squishly

Squishly is an independent store built around a single product done well: the collapsible silicone water bottle. Our whole job is to help you carry water without the bulk, and to cut down on the single-use plastic that piles up when you don't have a bottle on you.

The Squishly collapsible silicone water bottle shown expanded and folded down, with its stainless steel cap and carabiner

It started with a small, annoying problem. A regular water bottle is great when it's full and useless when it's empty. It still takes up the same room in your bag, still knocks around at the bottom of a backpack, and still has to be carried home even though there's nothing left in it. So most people give up and buy a plastic bottle at the counter instead, and the cycle starts over. A bottle that folds down when it's empty fixes that. It expands to a normal 17-ounce bottle when you need a drink, and presses down to about a third of its height when you don't.

The trouble is that "collapsible" has become a crowded, uneven category. Some bottles fold well but leak at the cap. Some seal fine but smell like a tire for the first week. Some are so thin they feel like they'll split the first time you clip them to a bag. We decided to do the opposite of a catalog: pick one bottle, learn it inside out, and stand behind it.

Our mission

Water without the bulk, less plastic in the bin

Our mission is simple: make it easy to always have water with you without lugging a rigid bottle around, and make single-use plastic bottles the exception instead of the habit. One good collapsible bottle, sold direct at a fair price, with real support behind it.

Concretely, that means we don't try to stack up dozens of products. The lineup is one clear offer: a single Squishly bottle at $24.99, a two-pack at $39.99, and a three-pack at $49.99 for households or gifts. Every bottle holds 17 ounces, seals with a leak-proof stainless steel screw cap, and comes with a carabiner so it clips to a bag, a belt loop or a stroller. The body is food-grade, BPA-free silicone that folds down accordion-style, and it comes in four colors — Sage, Lavender, Blush and Black — so you can pick one you'll actually want to carry.

None of that is complicated on purpose. A bottle you like the look of is a bottle you'll keep on you, and a bottle you keep on you is one that quietly replaces the plastic ones you'd otherwise buy. That's the whole idea.

A specialist store

Why we sell one bottle, and sell it well

Squishly isn't a general store that happens to stock a water bottle. We're focused on the collapsible bottle, and that focus is deliberate. Sticking to one category lets us know it properly: how thick the silicone should be before it stops feeling flimsy, why cheap caps weep at the threads, how a hinge holds up after a few hundred folds, and which smells fade with washing and which never do. That knowledge goes straight into our pages, so you're buying with your eyes open rather than guessing from a stock photo.

We put the bottle through real use before we stand behind it. We fill it and leave it on its side in a loaded bag, we collapse and expand it over and over, we check the cap seal, and we live with the silicone for weeks to see whether it holds any taste or odor. Our method is public: you can read exactly how we test the bottle, step by step. Nothing is left vague, and nothing is dressed up.

Honest by default

How we work

Trust is built on specifics, not slogans. Here is exactly how we operate.

We sell direct. There's no middle store between us and you, which is what keeps the price reasonable while still leaving room for real order support. Shipping is free across the US, and every order is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the bottle isn't for you, you send it back and you're refunded.

Verified reviews only. The reviews on the site come from verified buyers, shown with their own photos where they shared them. We don't post fake reviews and we don't inflate the score: the average sits at 4.7 out of 5 across 30 reviews, and we leave the four-star ratings up right alongside the five-star ones. You can read the full set on our reviews page.

Real email support. A question about the bottle, an order, or a return goes to a US-based support inbox and gets a written answer from a person, usually within a business day. No bots, no canned replies.

A named publisher. The Squishly store is published by Animouf LLC. We'd rather say that plainly: knowing who stands behind a store is something you're entitled to before you spend a cent.

Who writes these pages

Riley Carter · Product tester — Squishly

Riley runs the hands-on testing behind Squishly. She fills each bottle and leaves it on its side in a packed bag to hunt for leaks, collapses and expands it hundreds of times to check the hinge, and lives with the silicone for weeks to catch any lingering odor or taste — so only bottles that survive real daily use make it onto the page.
