Hello, it’s Heather here with Deafblind Tips 12: travel water bottles.
In my experience using a water bottle with a screw-top lid, the lid can fall and roll away. This happens to me all the time! It happened recently on the train. Luckily, another passenger picked it up for me. This got me thinking, and I now use a rubber band to secure the lid to my wrist. I’ll show you.
[Heather holds up a travel water bottle, secures the rubber band to her wrist and unscrews the lid, which dangles safely from Heather’s wrist like a bracelet. She takes a sip of water, fastens the lid back on and releases the rubber band from around her wrist.]
Cheers! Much better now, saved by the rubber band. Phew!
