step by step

How Thirst Mate is easy.

Grab 3 empty bottles

Any soda, tonic or seltzer bottle from 12 oz up to 2 L. Even premium water bottles like Aquafina & Dasani work.

Screw them in

Screw the bottles into your Thirst Mate. Tall soda-style threads fit, not the short flimsy water-bottle kind.

Drop your drink in

Plop your drink in and float more fun!

buddy system

Float together.

Make a Buddy System or a Floatilla with the Swivel Connector.

Grab 2 or more Thirst Mates & connectors.

Screw the connector into a Thirst Mate. Snug, but NOT too snug!

Screw another Thirst Mate onto the connector.

Put some 16 oz or larger bottles onto the empty ports.

Plop your drink in and FLOAT LIKE A BOSS, or keep adding Mates and connectors to build a Floatilla!

important!

Don't flex the connector.

Don't flex the attached connector or screw it in too tight. Always support your Floatilla with both hands.

Care & cleaning.

Built to last

Thirst Mate is made from polypropylene (PP #5) and is recyclable. It's pretty indestructible.

Label stuck?

Warm the sticker with a hair dryer or heat gun on low and peel it off. For leftovers, let 90% rubbing alcohol sit on it for 3 minutes, then wipe it away. Goof-Off works on sticky residue too.

Keep it clean

Soap and water does it. Or use the top rack of your dishwasher with low or no heat drying.
