We're thrilled to introduce the LifeStraw Sip Essential, our lightest LifeStraw water filter ever made, weighing just 0.7 oz. Whether you're commuting through the city, or traveling somewhere new, the Sip Essential is the reusable BPA-free drinking straw built to go wherever life takes you.
Ultralight. Without Compromising.
At just 0.7 oz and 10.76 inches long, the LifeStraw Sip Essential combines a highly portable design with powerful water filtration.
Easy to keep in a purse, backpack, or carry-on, Sip Essential is designed for commuting, travel, and day-to-day use. It removes:
99.999999% of bacteria, including E. coli and Salmonella
99.999% of parasites, including Giardia and Cryptosporidium
99.999% of microplastics, as well as silt, sand, and cloudiness
No batteries. No chemicals. No complicated setup.
BPA-Free Straw Built for Daily Life
Sip Essential is designed for people who are always on the move. Made from FDA-approved materials with a silicone mouthpiece, it's comfortable and easy to use for all ages.
This LifeStraw reusable straw lasts up to 1,000 liters (264 gallons). One, single Sip Essential straw delivers more than a year of daily use and keeps thousands of single-use bottles out of our parks, oceans, and communities.
Unlike ordinary reusable plastic straws, Sip Essential does double duty: helping reduce plastic waste while delivering safe, filtered water on the go.
The included top and bottom protective caps keep the straw free of contaminants so it’s always clean and ready when you are.
Advanced LifeStraw Water Filtration
What sets Sip Essential apart is the trusted LifeStraw filtration technology packed into a compact design. Its 0.2-micron membrane microfilter delivers advanced filtration without the bulk. It's the most compact version of LifeStraw technology we've ever engineered, and it's now available for everyday use.
