Water Bottle Cap: Types, Replacements, and Buying Guide

Water bottle caps come in five common types: (1) chugger (screw-off, drink from wide opening), (2) sipper (push-down valve, one-handed), (3) straw (built-in straw with valve), (4) flip (hinged spout), (5) dual-sip (straw + spout in one). For replacement caps, most brands (HYV, Milton, Cello, Stanley) sell caps separately at ₹100–500. Match the cap to the bottle model + neck size (usually stamped on the bottle or lid).
