About Squishly

Squishly sells one product: the collapsible silicone water bottle. It lets you carry water without the bulk, and cuts down on the single-use plastic that piles up when you don't have a bottle on you.

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 little over half 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. The Squishly bottle pairs a stainless steel screw cap with a food-grade, BPA-free silicone body and a carabiner to clip it to a bag.

One bottle, built for the bag

Squishly isn't a general store that happens to stock a water bottle: the collapsible bottle is the whole catalog. The cap is a stainless steel screw cap rather than a snap-on lid, the body is food-grade, BPA-free silicone rather than a thin plastic film, and the carabiner lets the bottle hang from a strap instead of taking room inside the bag. Open, it stands 8.3 in tall and holds 17 oz; empty, it presses down to 4.5 in.

The full specifications, the four colors and the one, two and three-bottle offers are on the collapsible water bottle page, and the material itself is covered on our silicone water bottle page.
