Finding clean drinking water outside of developed countries isn’t always an easy task. Underdeveloped countries sell bottled water in lieu of their tap water, but what if there is no supermarket in sight? LifeStraw and EarthEasy have come together to create a straw that lets you drink water anywhere on the planet, ensuring a safe and clean consumption through the tiny filter.

 

Place the small tube with internal filters into any unfiltered water source such as a river. Simply suck through the straw to receive filtered and clean water in a matter of seconds, at a generous flow rate.

 

The two-ounce tube filters more than 99 percent of water-born parasites and water-born bacteria, leaving virtually no aftertaste for the consumer. Its durability and portability makes it easy to toss in your backpack for your next hiking or camping trip. Once you have used the straw, remove the cap to let it air dry, and then clean it easily for future use. The shelf life is nonexistent: The LifeStraw is usable for life!

 

LifeStraw and EarthEasy are using their inventive product to give back, as well: With every purchase of one LifeStraw, the companies provide clean drinking water for an entire year for one child in Africa.

 

The personal water straw is available on EarthEasy’s website for $19.95, with free shipping to the lower 48 United States.
