Another reviewer noted that they had used the LifeStraw to drink "rainwater from puddles" and never suffered any ill effects. "Not carrying water with me is a game changer," they added.

For outdoor adventurers or frequent travellers, the LifeStraw is a great device to keep handy because it won't take up space in your pack. More importantly, it also allows you peace of mind to drink from water sources without worrying about getting sick.

One reviewer called the LifeStraw an "essential part of your travel kit," whether it's being used "in foreign countries or the woods."

Some reviewers have cautioned that while effective, it can be "challenging to use" the LifeStraw in practice. As one reviewer wrote, it requires "a fair bit of effort to suck water through it," and this version doesn't attach to any form of water bottle or drinking glass, meaning you'll have to bend down to the water level in order to drink.


The LifeStraw is a must-have for emergencies, camping and hiking trips, and travelling to an area or country without potable water. Its compact size fits into any backpack, making it convenient to keep on hand in case of emergencies.

While some shoppers aren't fans of the straw-like design, you can always check out the LifeStraw Go Water Filter Bottle instead.
