THE BOTTLE YOU CAN ACTUALLY CLEAN PROPERLY

Mode & Opal insulated drink bottle
★★★★★ 4.9 from 163 verified reviews

We asked our customers one question: what is your biggest ick with drink bottles?

51%said the same

The most common answer by far: mould, and how hard bottles are to clean.

  • "How hard they are to clean which results in mold"
  • "Mould inside the bottle you can't clean"
  • "The seals going mouldy"
  • "Rubbery plastic mouth piece. Smelly lids. Hard to wash."

Peer-reviewed research backs them up. In a Purdue University study of 90 everyday bottles, around 1 in 4 exceeded safe limits for the bacteria used to flag poor sanitation. The same research consistently finds stainless steel carries less than plastic, and that wide openings are far easier to clean.

Ours is stainless steel with a wide spout, and the lid goes in the dishwasher, so a proper clean is a daily habit rather than a job you put off.

If you have ever unscrewed a lid, caught a smell, and quietly put that bottle at the back of the cupboard, you already know.

That smell is bacteria and mould. They settle anywhere that stays damp and dark, and most lids are full of exactly that: narrow straw channels, folded seals, gaps you cannot reach with a brush. You rinse the bottle, the lid never really gets clean, and you drink through it every day.

Our lids needed to be easy to clean, with removable seals you can replace when they are due. The lid comes apart and goes on the top rack of the dishwasher. Nothing sealed in, nothing you cannot reach.

A lid you can properly clean is not a small thing. It is what you drink through, every day.

"The hidden health risk lurking in your drink bottle, and the Kiwi mum who set out to fix the problem."

Experts warned that poorly designed bottles can harbour bacteria and mould if they are not cleaned properly, and that unwashed bottles can hold millions of bacteria, thanks to moisture and hard-to-reach crevices.

The bits people ask about

Do I have to hand wash it like my last bottle?

No. The lid and straw go in the dishwasher, which is the part that matters. Place the lid open on the top rack along with the straw. For best results wash the body with soap and warm water and our soft silicone bottle brush, which cleans thoroughly without scratching the surface.

Will the lid go mouldy like my old one?

It should not. Air-dry it with the lid open after washing and that is really it. There are no hidden channels for build-up to sit in. The seals are made to stay put, so leave them in place and replace the set when they are due.

Will it actually fit my car cupholder?

The 770ml has a 75mm base and tapers at the bottom, so it fits most car cupholders. If yours is 76mm or wider you are all good. The 940ml fits some but not all.

Why people switch to Mode & Opal

Most bottles only look good, but if you’ve used other bottles, you’ll notice the difference straight away.

Meet the Wide-Sip Spout

"Drinking WAY more water without even trying." That's the Wide-Sip Spout. I designed it because I was tired of bottles that made hydration a chore. A wider, ergonomic shape means every sip is a bigger one, and before you know it, you've finished your bottle.

Pair that with a one-handed flip lid, dishwasher-safe top, and a pop-out replaceable seal. The details I couldn't find anywhere. So I built it. 🩵

Frequently Asked Questions

If you can’t find your answer here, just send us a message at hello@modeandopal.co.nz we’re always happy to help.

The 770ml has a 75mm base and tapers at the bottom, so it fits most car cupholders. Some cars, particularly 4WDs and utes, have narrower or deeper holders, so it’s worth measuring yours.

If it’s 76mm or wider you’re all good. Note the boot adds a few millimetres.

The 940ml fits some cup holders but not all.

We created Mode & Opal because we were tired of the ones that didn’t quite work. Hard to clean, awkward to sip from, or too heavy to carry.

Ours are made for real life. The spout is shaped for a natural sip (so you don’t have to pucker or strain), the lid is dishwasher-safe, and the handle and body is designed to feel balanced even when the bottle’s full.

Every detail is intentional, so you actually enjoy using it.

Only the lid and straw is dishwasher-safe. Place the lid open on the top rack of the dishwasher along with the straw.

To prevent leaks, make sure the lid is properly clicked shut before placing it in your bag. Make sure both seals are in place and avoid overfilling it, especially with warm liquids that build up steam.

Our bottles are designed for cold or hot (not boiling) drinks. They can keep your drinks hot for up to 18 hours.

You can safely add warm liquids, but avoid boiling liquid or carbonated drinks. Pressure build-up could cause leaks, damage or injury.

Share information about your products, policies or If something’s not right, please email us at hello@modeandopal.co.nz within 30 days of receiving your order.

Include your order number and a few photos, and we’ll get in touch.
