The Stanley H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler: Is It Worth the Hype?

 

The Stanley H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler 

Is It Worth the Hype?


If you’ve been anywhere near TikTok, Instagram, Christmas shopped in the last 2 years, or hung out with a trendy mom group lately, you’ve probably seen the Stanley H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler making the rounds. With its sleek design, pretty pastel colors, and promise of keeping drinks cold all day long...it practically screams “influencer favorite.” But does it live up to the buzz?

Well, I tried it. And here's the honest tea (or iced coffee 😏).

🛍️ The Details:

  • Product: Stanley H2.0 Flowstate Quencher Tumbler (40oz & 30oz)

  • Price: Usually under $50 (40oz) and under $40 for the 30oz

  • Where I Bought It: Amazon (and have been gifted multiple by my loved ones)

  • Claim to Fame: Keeps drinks cold for 11+ hours, fits in cup holders, durable stainless steel, has a comfort-grip handle, and comes in various colors and patterns.

💖 First Impressions:

Right out of the box, the Stanley tumbler feels sturdy and luxurious. It has a soft matte finish, a rotating lid with multiple drinking positions (with a straw or without), and a big comfy handle that makes carrying 40 oz of liquid feel surprisingly manageable. 

It looks cute on my counter and even cuter in my car cupholder. It's no secret that Stanley has been around forever. I remember seeing my Pap pack a thermos for his long days at work 20+ years ago and man have these come a loooong way in color options and style. It's safe to say that a Stanley is the perfect accessory for staying hydrated!


 

🧊 Performance:

Let’s talk about the real reason we’re all here: cold drinks that stay cold. I filled mine with ice water at 8 AM, left it in my car during errands....because I'm just a girl that completely forgot it in the car all day, and when I was ready to drive home that evening? STILL cold. The ice was barely melted and it was over 85 degrees outside (which if all of those videos of cops seeing how long they last in a car that was not left running taught us anything aside from the importance of not leaving anyone behind in a parked car...it's that it's always much hotter inside a car baking in the sun all day than it is outside of the car). It’s giving “summer hydration goals” that I may actually achieve this year because nothing beats a nice crisp swig of cold water after being out in the heat.

It's also rated really well for other beverages such as iced coffee, smoothies, and soda. I personally haven't tried it for anything other than water/flavored waters since I really don't need 30+ ounces of caffeine😂 

I know I won't be using it for hot drinks, since I'm really not a fan of many hot drinks. I can't speak to how it performed with hot drinks, but I'd imagine you'd want to consider the potential of it keeping a beverage too hot, making it take longer than you're used to for it to cool down and be ready for consumption...so don't burn yourself on your drink if you use it with hot drinks! 

🧼 Cleaning:

I was worried it would be annoying to clean (because who has time?), but the wide mouth makes it pretty easy to scrub, and it’s dishwasher safe. BIG win. My Stanleys only fit on the bottom rack in my dishwasher, and so far, I haven't had a single Stanley come out marked or discolored from being put in the dishwasher. I do hand wash my cups and let them air dry since I tend to not always use the dishwasher. I'd say I'm about 50/50 for how frequently I hand wash over dishwasher the cups, and again, no issues there. The straws are the item I'd say that are the most annoying to clean, but that's really any cup with a lid and straw and not specific to Stanley (ie: Starbuck cups, Yeti, tumblers with lid/straw combo, etc.).

✅ Pros:

  • Keeps drinks cold all day

  • Handle is sturdy and practical

  • Tonnnnnnnns of color options

  • Fits in car cupholders (even with 40 oz size!)

  • Dishwasher safe

❌ Cons:

  • Can feel bulky if you’re not used to the truck driver lifestyle (Kidding, but I have been told I look like a truck driver when I carry it around 😂)

  • Storage can be a bit tricky too (As you can see in my 1st photo, we have pegboard in the pantry and hooks that I put them on instead of in a cupboard. This has been a space saver!)

  • Pricey compared to tumblers

  • Sells out fast in popular colors (Don't even get me started on trying to score the Wicked ones!)

     

💬 Brittny’s Final Verdict:

 Highly Recommended 👍

If staying hydrated is part of your wellness goals and you love pretty, practical products, then these Stanleys are worth the investment. It’s not just cute for Instagram; it actually works at keeping your beverage cold.

Whether you’re a gym girlie, a road trip queen, or a busy mom trying to remember to drink water, this tumbler is a game changer.

Reusable Seedling Starter Trays

Image
For as long as I can remember, I've always loved being outdoors. It's no surprise that in my 30's one of my absolute favorite summer hobbies is gardening. Over the years, I have learned what works best for me and while I'm no expert gardener, I have had some success with my backyard veggie garden. Living in a place that actually gets snow and cold winters, and very little spring, I've learned that starting my seeds inside gives me a jump start to the season. I've tried a bunch of different ways to start my seedlings, and the reusable seed starter trays are my favorite, and here's why: With the erratic temperatures, I typically don't officially transplant the seedlings until the end of May. These trays afford a good amount of space for the seedlings to start growing in before I can actually get started outside. I have not experienced the seedlings outgrowing the trays yet.   I am pretty impressed that so far I have gotten 3 years out of these bad boys. I ...

Tennessee Orange, Savannah Nights 🎤: My Megan Moroney Concert Review

🎤  Tennessee Orange, Savannah Nights  🎤 Brittny Tried It: Megan Moroney Concert Review 🎶 Why I Tried It 🎶 Anyone that knows me knows that I am obsessed with music and I rarely say no to live music. So when one of the nicest and funniest women I know called me up and invited me to meet up in Savannah, Georgia to see Megan Moroney in concert, I said take my money nowwww and I'll see you there on the spot...even though I truthfully could not name a single Megan Moroney song in that moment. Luckily, Spotify had me covered and I quickly learned as many of her songs as I could, and was even more pumped to go! Cowgirl emo?? Say less and count me in!!!  ❤️What I Loved ❤️ Savannah showed up big time for Megan. The venue (Enmarket Arena) was buzzing with energy, and the crowd sang (and at times screamed) along to every word like we were all old friends at a backyard bonfire. Megan opened with my favorite, “Man on the Moon,” and from the first line, it was game on. She played ...

Tribesigns 47-Inch Farmhouse Console Table

Image
This spring, I decided to finally tackle the living room in my house. I've been in the house for 3 years now, and it's the one room that I haven't been able to decide what to do with. After tons of research, we found a modular couch that had everything we wanted from it. We love having the flexibility to create the right seating arrangement for the day. With the couch i can fit so many more people than my previous one. I knew that I wanted a sofa table to go between the sofa and the wall so that everyone would have a place to set their drinks, phones, keys, etc. I finally settled on the Tribesigns 47-Inch Farmhouse Console Table and ordered it from Amazon. The dimensions were exactly what I was looking for:   Here's my thoughts: I purchased it for ~$120.00 and it arrived in 2 days. The packaging was great and there were no damaged pieces upon arrival, although the box was pretty beat up! The table comes with labeled parts and detailed instructions, making the assembly ...
