In one of my many TikTok binges, influencers on the platform recently introduced me to yet another life-changing product (as they always do) with the Stojo Collapsible Travel Cup ($20), which helps to ensure I'm always hydrated and well-caffeinated, regardless of where my day takes me. This silicone cup gives users the freedom to take their drinks on the go (literally anywhere and everywhere you could imagine) thanks to the product's collapsible silicone design, which is essentially built so you can break down the cup into itself and throw it in your bag when you're not using it — no wasteful, disposable bottle or oversize travel mug necessary.
Honestly, I had my doubts about how this collapsible cup could hold up, especially with someone as spill prone as myself. However, a recent trip to Europe proved the product was not only worth all of the internet hype, but it's also become as much of a travel essential for me as my passport — no, really!
This functional cup has probably been one of my most worthwhile buys in recent years — and at such an affordable price point, it's probably one I'll continue to buy and stock up on, too (if not for me, then at least as gifts for my friends who are always on the go). I like that the compact product doesn't take up too much space. When I'm not using it, it easily fits into my kitchen drawers and work bags, whereas when I am using it, it is built like a traditional cup and fits seamlessly within standard cup holders. Thanks to the product's leak-proof and airtight mouth tab, I don't have to worry about spillage, making it a great essential to have on hand while traveling — whether that's on an airplane or train, subway or car. The collapsible cup is crafted from an LFGB-certified silicone material, which is not only soft enough to grip onto but also insulated enough to ensure the cup keeps any hot drinks (like coffee or tea) warm for extended periods of time and cold drinks chilled, even through warmer temperatures.
It's not an exaggeration when I say that I take this cup everywhere. It's my most prized travel essential — on my latest trip to Europe, I had the cup in hand while exploring multiple cities (which was especially helpful in towns where water wasn't free or as accessible). Whenever I'm airport bound, I'll fill it up with water to drink on the car ride over, have it emptied before going through security, then immediately fill it back up afterward to ensure I'm staying hydrated on even my longest travel days. It's my go-to coffee cup while running errands and an easy product to take on a morning commute to a coworking space, meeting, or even work event.
This cup is great for any frequent traveler or person who prefers to always have a drink in their hand. The product provides the same ease of carrying a drink with you while you're on the go — whether that's simply commuting to the office, heading out to an event, or just gearing up for a long day of travel — and all in a compact design that eliminates the hassle of having to carry around a traditional coffee cup or water bottle. |
