Okay, I know we’ve all been stuck on the Stanley Tumblers, but what if I told you there’s another viral tumbler that has been making waves on TikTok? Allow me to introduce the HydroJug ($35), which has had more than 6,000 people purchase it in the pink sand color just in the last month alone. With nearly 12,000 reviews boasting about its crafty design, seamless ability to keep drinks warm/cold and its overall convenience, this 32-ounce HydroJug can hang with the best of the best as far as tumblers go. Here's what you need to know about it.

For starters, it does an excellent job of keeping your drinks ice cold (or piping hot) for hours on end thanks to its triple-wall stainless steel insulation. Additionally, it features an ambidextrous lid that can be turned in various directions. Plus, it's equipped with a reusable flip straw, along with a comfortable grip handle. Per the brand, it’s also crafted with a non-slip rubber base and durable materials that make it leak-proof. TikTok lifestyle creator @ssamanthar recently included the jug in one of many back-to-school haul videos that it has been featured in, saying that it's "really cute," and that she likes the smaller design for carrying it throughout the day.

The fact that it's car cup holder compatible and dishwasher safe adds to the many reasons why buyers love it so much, which one describes as a “portable hydration station disguised as a stylish accessory.” Here’s why another buyer is obsessed: “This bottle is absolutely worth the money. I am pregnant. I need ice-cold water to stay hydrated. I need something that doesn't spill any water. This water bottle checks off all the boxes. Literally from 9 am to 11 pm, my water stayed ice cold without any refills or any more ice put in. I toss it in my purse, and it doesn't spill!”

Adding to its functionality is the fact that it is dishwasher-safe, and the straw is also detachable, meaning you can remove it while cleaning. If you're like me, you've already added this bad boy to your cart, but don’t stop there. Once you've purchased the pink sand colorway, make sure to check out the other colors like camo, rodeo and riptide.

Whether you’re headed to school, work, the park or are just simply chillin' at home, the HydroJug will serve you well, and I’d start adding them to my cart right now if I were you.
