Ninja Thirsti Water Bottle drops to lowest price this year on Amazon Prime Day
Ninja Thirsti Water Bottle drops to lowest price this year on Amazon Prime Day Ninja's Thirsti Water Bottle and Flask keeps drinks cold for 24 hours The Ninja Thirsti is on sale at Amazon for Prime Day (Image: Amazon ) The Ninja Thirsti Water Bottle and Flask is making waves among consumers, with many saying they 'will never buy another water bottle' after using the product. The item currently has an enticing 37% discount on Amazon for a limited period, bringing its price down from £34.99 to just £21.99 during Amazon Prime Day. CamelCamelCamel, a site known for monitoring prices, confirms this is the lowest price the water bottle has been this year and it's available in six different colours including mint green, black, white, and grey. This deal is better value than purchasing it full price on the Ninja website or at Currys. To access the discount, shoppers need to be Amazon Prime members, but non-members have the option to start a free 30-day trial to access this deal and other Prime benefits. Ninja's Thirsti travel bottle stands out with its unique feature: a smooth interior that helps maintain carbonated fizzy drinks. It boasts the capacity to keep cold drinks with bubbles chilled for up to 24 hours, hot drinks warm for up to 12 hours, and iced beverages cool for up to an incredible 48 hours. One happy customer shared their positive experience: "This is my 2nd flask I purchased this one for my husband. When we were away on holiday I put the unfinished bottle of Prosecco in my flask and the following day it was still cold and fizzy. Result." Another buyer was pleased with how it worked on holiday. They said: "This is perfect for using in hot countries it keeps the ice solid for 12hours plus making the water so lovely to drink all day. Used daily whilst in Kos when on trips or by the pool." Currently, the 700ml bottle is retailing at £21.99, though a more compact 530ml version is available at a reduced price of £19.99, down from the original £29.99, as part of an Amazon Prime offer. The water bottle comes in a lovely mint green (Image: Amazon ) Stanley also sells several travel water bottles like the Iceflow Bottle. Priced at £40, this model comes in a broader array of colours and patterns, including Rose Petal Motion and Cream Rose Gold. A simpler, 600ml variant in a single colour is available at £30 during Stanley's summer sale event. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here . For those looking for other options, Ocean Bottle offers a 750ml bottle priced at £40. It may be pricier than the Ninja Thirsti's Amazon Prime Day deal, but it holds slightly more liquid and can be personalised, meaning it's perfect for a thoughtful gift. The Ocean Bottle also has a strong environmental benefit—each bottle being equivalent to preventing 1000 plastic bottles from polluting the ocean. The Ninja Thirsti has drawn lots of positive reviews, securing a 4.6 out of five-star rating from 1,885 Amazon consumers. They've praised the bottle for its ability to retain temperature for both hot and cold beverages, maintain fizziness, and provide a 100% leak-proof experience. It's also praised for being dishwasher safe and travel friendly, with a comfortable grip and compatibility with most car cup holders. One delighted consumer said: "This is designed for fizzy drinks, however it is excellent for the still water that I use it for. Keeps drinks cold all day, brilliant for the recent periods of hot weather. I use mine for all day walks and playing golf on a hot day. "Highly recommended, far better than any other drinks bottle I have used in the past. The other good thing is that the complete top part of the bottle unscrews making it easy to fill and clean. It then has a simple small screw lid for drinking or pouring. It is quite heavy when full, but then it does hold a lot. "One star off because they're substantial and a bit on the weighty side." Another happy customer said: "I absolutely love my Ninja Thirsti - gorgeous mint green - perfect for iced tea and totally leak-proof. Keeps drinks cold all day, even without ice! Colour is beautiful and even better in person! It keeps drinks cold for hours; I add ice cubes in the morning, and they're still solid after 8 hours. It also works brilliantly with hot drinks. "It's completely leak-proof, even when tipped upside down in my bag, and the quality is excellent. I've dropped it multiple times and it still looks brand new. This is a well-made, reliable bottle that's totally worth the money. Highly recommend." Someone else added: "What really sets it apart is how easy it is to clean and the thoughtful design of the mouthpiece – no leaks, no fuss, just smooth sipping every time. It also pairs perfectly with the Ninja Thirsti system for flavouring and carbonation (if you're into that like I am)." Article continues below Bargain-seekers will be thrilled that they can snap up the Ninja Thirsti for as little as £19.99 from Amazon, but this tempting offer won't last forever as Prime Day finishes at midnight on Friday, July 11.

Beat the heat: 14 expert tips for keeping cool in hot weather
Heatwaves used to be marked by years, recalled misty-eyed by those who remembered them with fondness, like the heatwave of '76. Now, in the era of global heating, heatwaves are a warning sign, not a pleasure – and as we enter a UK summer, it's a case of when, not if, the temperature will become unbearable. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. Always take care when it heats up – the NHS recommends staying in the shade, especially between 11am and 3pm, wearing sunscreen and hats, and avoiding exercise. It also advises taking showers, eating cold food and drinks, and avoiding alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks. And there are other things that can help. As temperatures soar, we've asked experts in hotspots around the world – from Australia to Dubai – about how to cope with the heat. Here's their advice for everything from waking and dressing to sleeping (yes, it is possible in this heat, we promise). Recycled stainless steel water bottle £35 at Ryman£35 at Ocean Bottle Insulated leak-proof water bottle From £30 at John Lewis£32 at Chilly's Glass coffee cup and straw £27 at Anthropologie£26.95 at Amazon The NHS recommends drinking six to eight glasses of water a day – the aim being that your pee remains a light straw colour. In a heatwave, you'll likely need more water, and ideally it'll be cold to help cool you down. Ocean Bottles are double-wall insulated, made from 65% recycled materials, and the brand collects 11.4kg of plastic from oceans with the sale of each bottle. Chilly's water bottles claim to keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours – and everyone in your co-working space will thank you for the rubber base that doesn't 'CLANG' every time you take a sip. The NHS technically advises against caffeine in extreme heat, but if it does feel necessary, you can at least go iced with this clear Keep Cup. Lékué ice cube tray £15.75 at John Lewis£19.99 at Lakeland Monster ice lolly mould £12.99 at John Lewis£12.99 at Lakeland What better way to keep cool than with frozen water? A dedicated ice box lets you build up a stockpile for hot days – no more wasteful plastic bags of ice from the supermarket. Get the kids involved too with this ice lolly mould, letting them create some inventive flavours and reap the rewards after a few hours in the freezer. Wind-up tilt parasol £53.99 at Robert Dyas£84.99 at John Lewis Recycled polyester cream carousel parasol £70 at Dunelm Portable beach tent £95.20 at Holloways of Ludlow£119 at Amazon Whether you've got an unforgiving, shadeless south-facing patio or are planning a day in the park or at the beach, you'll need shade in a heatwave. From a cheerful, adjustable yellow parasol and an all-singing, tilting garden shade to a portable beach canopy, this lot has you covered. Reiss linen midi dress £198 at John Lewis£198 at Reiss Airism dress £24.90 at Uniqlo Men's pure linen shirt £45 at M&S Men's Airism white T-shirt £14.90 at Uniqlo Round mini shoulder bag £14.90 at Uniqlo Plan International Denmark tote bag £5.24 at Søstrene Grene As recommended in our Mother's Day gift guide. A percentage of the sale of this floral tote goes to Plan International, which helps support girls' and young women's rights. Working in an office in the heat and looking even remotely professional can feel impossible – something Elle Australia editor Jessica Bailey knows all too well. Opt for linen, she says. A sleeveless linen dress or a loose-fitting shirt will be your saviour: the lightweight material is known for its breathable properties – the baggier the better for circulation and non-clinginess. Darker colours will help disguise sweat marks – if you're particularly worried about this, go for polyester or nylon over cotton. Or try a sweat-wicking fabric, such as Uniqlo's Airism. If you carry a heavy leather handbag, it's worth swapping for a lightweight cross-body bag or cotton tote. These have longer handles, allowing air to circulate rather than being stickily clamped to your side. Lace trim cami top £20 at Next Mini slip dress £78 at Free People Seersucker stripe boxers £28 for three at John Lewis 'The Australian summer can be humid and unforgiving – as such, we learn how to dress for the heat from a young age,' says Elle Australia's fashion editor, Jordan Boorman. 'I lean into vintage-style lingerie silhouettes, wispy camisoles, lace slip dresses and skirts.' Men: feeling brave? Make like Paul Mescal and wear boxers as shorts, as recommended by Peter Bevan in his men's summer wardrobe updates. Just don't forget to wear your underwear beneath to avoid any embarrassing mishaps. Women's ONA Streetworks go-to flat £63 at SorelFrom £53.60 at Amazon As recommended in our roundup of stylish summer sandals Women's cut-out strap sandals £28 at River Island Jess Cartner-Morley calls these the perfect holiday dinner sandals in her June style essentials Men's Summit leather sandals £31.99 at Schuh£45 at Next As recommended by menswear expert Peter Bevan in his men's summer wardrobe updates Men's Fracap leather sandals £175 at Toast First up: you need a pair of sandals that you can walk in comfortably. Hot, sweaty feet equals rubbing and blisters and, as Chloe Mac Donnell wrote in her guide to sandals, no one wants carry a pair of trainers to swap into when they need to walk anywhere farther than the office tea point. This year, as last, sandals are fusing function and comfort with fashion. And for men, slip-on gladiator-style designs with thicker leather straps are everywhere. Vichy spa water £9.50 at Look Fantastic£9.50 at Amazon Vichy SPF spray £16.13 at Look Fantastic£13.70 at Amazon A face mist can give instant relief in the heat. Dr Raj Arora is a GP and founder of aesthetics clinic The Face Bible, and she recommends Vichy face mist. 'I have used this myself when on holiday or during a heatwave,' she says. 'Not only does it cool the skin down but it's also infused with minerals and antioxidants to soothe the skin and protect the skin's barrier during hot weather.' Of course, the main thing you need on your skin in a heatwave is a good SPF – Sali Hughes's roundup of the best sunscreens has something for everyone. For lightness in the heat, consider Vichy's Capital Soleil SPF 50 spray with hyaluronic acid from her list. Dreo Cruiser tower fan £109.99 with wifi voice control at B&Q£89.99 at Amazon Morphy Richards portable USB fan £39.99 at B&Q£39.99 at Morphy Richards As recommended in our roundup of the best fans to keep you cool Jisulife handheld mini fan£18.99 at Amazon Scalloped-edge fan£6.99 at H&M An electric fan – either for your desk or room – can help with hot and bothered home working and sweaty, sleepless nights. There are even electric/battery hybrids for when you're on the go, all put to the test in our guide to the best fans. And while heatwaves may hit once or twice a year, but women dealing with menopause can be left battling hot flushes for years. After trying many handheld fans, Tracey McAlpine, founder of Fighting Fifty, recommends the Jisulife mini fan above. And if you fancy a flutter, try H&M's elegant scalloped-edged fan. Women's anti-chafing shorts £18 for two at M&S Women's black high-waisted shorts £25 at End£48 at Skims Men's green shorts with built-in cycling shorts £75 at Vuori As recommended in our roundup of the best shorts for summer Megababe anti-chafe stick£9.60 at Boots£8 at Cult Beauty Baby powder£1.75 at Boots£1.75 at Superdrug Heatwaves are uncomfortable enough before you add chafing into the mix. Not only is it painful, but the irritation makes the skin hot too – not what you need. There are several ways to combat this, and many women fall back on wearing shorts under skirts and dresses: try these M&S slimming shorts, which stay up all day and are so thin and cool that you forget they're there. For other parts of the body, or if shorts don't work for you, body image speaker and writer Laura Adlington recommends Megababe Thigh Rescue. 'It glides on like a balm and keeps your thighs happy all day. Otherwise, try good old-fashioned baby powder – it's cheap as chips and does the trick.' Women's zebra-print bucket hat£19.99 at Mango Women's wide-brim sun hat £45 at John Lewis Women's oversized summer hat £37 at Asos£37 at & Other Stories Men's broad-brim hat £25 at M&S Unisex Original Pirate Material cap£45 at Scrt This pop culture cap gets Peter Bevan's seal of approval in his men's summer wardrobe updates A good hat is your ally in keeping a cool head. We asked the team at the oldest hat shop in the world, London's Lock & Co Hatters, for their advice. Look for breathable materials such as straw, they said, and wide brims that protect your face and neck from the sun. This M&S packable broad-rim hat is another great option for men looking for something to take on holiday (or not brave enough to wear it on the commute), as it folds down easily. And don't forget caps. Wide brims are everywhere on the high street this year – the John Lewis hat above has a simple silhouette that will pair with anything, and the black canvas offering from & Other Stories is a much chicer take on last year's bucket hat trend. Unisex hydration bag with 1L pouch£24.99 at Decathlon The North Face Summit Run 5L vest £134.99 at SportsShoes£135 at the North Face As recommended by Kieran Alger in his guide to trail running essentials If a heatwave persists unbroken but you want to continue your exercise streak, Esther Newman, editor of Women's Running magazine and co-host of the Women's Running Podcast, says it is possible, with some adjustment. 'If you're running for longer than 30 minutes, carry water with you – usually twice as much as you would do in the winter,' she says. 'Decathlon's hydration packs do the job for a good price, and enable you to run hands-free.' Lululemon Wundermost Nulu high-waist thong £25 at Lululemon Uniqlo Airism boxer briefs£12.90 at Uniqlo When you're hot and sweaty, moisture-wicking base layers can really help. Fitness trainer Rosie Stockley recommended this high-waist thong in our guide to the best moisture-wicking underwear, socks and base layers; while personal trainer Michael Baah picked these briefs, which are made from moisture-wicking polyester. Body Glide anti-chafe balm £11.99 at Runners Need£13.99 at Amazon Silicone lubricant £14.99 at Love Honey£8.99 at Amazon Make sure you lube yourself up, says Newman: common annoying areas are underneath your the band of your running bra, between thighs and toes, around the neck, under your arms and between your butt cheeks. 'Experiment with Body Glide, which works like a stick deodorant, or try the less expensive secret weapon: silicone lube – with the latter, always go for silicone rather than water-based, which you'll just sweat off.' Moisture bomb sheet mask£3.49 at Superdrug£3.49 at Boots Stainless steel face roller£11.99 at Look Fantastic£11.87 at Amazon Sometimes you need a moment of reset to try to take your body temperature down when you return home. Aimee Jakes is digital editor at Time Out Dubai and is coping with the heat thanks to one hack: 'I swear by a fridge-chilled sheet mask. Garnier's Moisture Bomb sheet masks are juicy, cooling and add glugs of hydration into my sun-weathered pores. Pro tip: after the sheet mask 'juice' has been absorbed into the skin, finish off with some icy face roller action.'

Sleep expert James Wilson (AKA The Sleep Geek) says there are things that can help. 'I have clients who swear by the Chilipad topper – it allows you to set the temperature on your side of the bed,' he says. When it comes to fabrics, he says bamboo bedding will help; and for pyjamas, try modal. 'Steer clear of all foams – it's an insulator so will make you feel hotter, even if it claims to keep you cool all night – as well as down and feather, as they'll make you really hot.'

Hot babies struggle to sleep, but high temperatures are also a health hazard for young children. 'Keeping babies cool during a heatwave can feel like an uphill battle, especially when their sleep environment heats up,' says Rosey Davidson, sleep consultant and founder and CEO of Just Chill Baby Sleep. 'My top tips are to keep blinds or curtains closed during the day to block out direct sunlight, and dress babies in just a nappy or a super-light layer. The NHS recommends your child's room be between 16 and 20C – and offers lots of tips on keeping children cool throughout the day. 'The GroEgg room thermometer glows different colours to show temperature ranges – ideal for making quick, safe sleepwear decisions at bedtime. A cool muslin sleeping bag is lightweight and breathable, helping babies to sleep safely without the risk of overheating – Aden + Anais does a 1 tog range. And blackout blinds with suction cups, like this Tommee Tippee version, keep nurseries dark and cool by blocking out sunlight – they're especially helpful for early bedtime routines.'

'Brilliant' Stanley lightweight water bottle £22 in deal stack
With temperatures soaring across much of the country, staying hydrated is more important than ever. But with the mercury getting up to 30 degrees in some places, suddenly water bottles that usually work fine can't keep drinks chilled in warm weather, leaving drinks feeling tepid. Shoppers have been praising Stanley's latest launch, a slim and lightweight water bottle so efficient that some happy customers say they've left it in the heat of the car for hours and still come back to cold drinks. What's more, bargain hunting shoppers can save a huge chunk on the usual price by doing one simple thing. High-tech water bottles have become increasingly popular in recent years not just to stay hydrated on the move but also, thanks to influencers and celebs alike, as a way of reflecting style and personality. Stanley's iconic Quencher is the best-known option, coming in a huge range of colours, collabs and sizes but Ninja, Ocean Bottle and Yeti all have bestselling and well-reviewed versions, meaning consumers have more choice than ever. These on trend water bottles are made of stainless steel meaning they tend to be durable and more environmentally friendly while their double walls mean contents stay cold even in high temperatures. But while many bottles focus on being high capacity this can make them difficult to carry round, with the biggest Stanley holds 1.2 litres of liquid which works out as weighing a whopping 4.2lbs or almost a kilo. Stanley's new AeroLight IceFlow in comparison holds 600ml and is a slimline product that weighs a fraction of that, while looking like a more stylish sibling to Love Island 's water bottles. The bottles cost £40 from Stanley direct, while they're usually priced at £38 at Argos. However savvy shoppers have found a way to snag one for 42% off thanks to a money saving website. Bargain hunters who sign up to deals website TopCashback get a free £15 new member sign up bonus which they can use when they buy the bottle. TopCashback then gives shoppers a percentage cashback on online spend from thousands of retailers including Argos which, once paid, means effectively the bottle will have cost £22.53 after cashback if they're new Argos shoppers, or £22.68 after cashback. The dishwasher safe Iceflow bottle is made of 90% recycled stainless steel and has a large, fast flow spout with a leakproof straw. It's cup holder compatible for drivers and has a wide opening for easy cleaning and adding ice. Stanley also says it keeps drinks cold for up to 10 hours and has a 25 year guarantee. As a new launch there aren't lots of reviews yet on either Argos or Stanley yet, but the initial responses have been largely positive. One shopper said: 'I'm absolutely in love with this bottle. I like how it could be fully open for easy cleaning. Even when it's left in the car when it's sunny and very warm, water is still cold inside the bottle.' Another added: 'This bottle is fab for travelling with and holds a great amount of water without it being too heavy.' Other shoppers praised the AeroLight for keeping water 'super cold and fresh' and 'brilliant,' with it being described as 'the best buy ever.' Another reviewer said: 'Recently brought this, lives up to its name. Happy with the product, it's easy clean, keeps the drink cold and is lightweight. Great for work or anywhere you need it.' However some superfans say it's not quite as effective as Stanley's most popular option, with one saying: "Does not keep cold for long like the Quencher, which was disappointing for this price." How to claim a £22 Stanley water bottle:
