Whether you’re breaking a serious sweat, hitting the beach, or just waking up, hydration should always be top of mind—no matter what.
One way to hit your hydration goals every day: Equipping yourself with the best bottled waters so you can reach for one whenever the thirst strikes. But not all water bottles are equal.
These nutrient-rich and no-sugar-added picks boast a whole host of benefits from added electrolytes to refreshing flavors that will keep you coming back for more. Hydrating waters can also be a great way to up your nutrition–some of these winners are boosted with vitamins and minerals, many key for immune support, muscle regulation, and other body functions. Who knew water could do so much more than hydrate?!
Looking to mix up your water routine? Try a sweet, but low-sugar bottle of coconut water or a box of cactus water infused with fruity, prickly pear juice. Plus, I’ve gathered several other flavored picks, enhanced with essence and pure fruit juices (blood orange tangerine seltzer, FTW!).
How We Tested: The Women's Health Test Kitchen and staff tried more than 80 different waters to find the ones worth sipping all day.
If you’re thirsty, grab one of these hydrating water winners that are refreshing, and provide some nutrients, too. Get sipping!
The WH team tried dozens of plain waters, from bottled to boxed, and this buy came out on top for its thirst-quenching abilities. The bottle boasted a clean taste that testers couldn’t stop raving about. "A lovely, refreshing, neutral taste that you could guzzle if needed!" said one editor. And thanks to its added electrolytes, your body may absorb the liquid faster, aiding in speedier recovery.
If you’re planning a big sweat, stock up on this super-sweet (but no-sugar-added!) pick. It's packed with potassium, a mineral tops for preventing cramps and maintaining muscle function. One taster noted that, "it has a very balanced, neutral flavor (not too sour or sweet) but with floral notes."
So even if you're not the biggest fan of the seriously sweet flavor of coconut water, give this bottle a try. Women's Health editors also liked the Harmless Harvest Coconut Water With Pulp that contains bits of real coconut flesh, which added a bit of a nutty bite to each sip.

Fan of a squeeze of citrus juice in your water? You can skip the slices with this pick. A splash of lemon extract gives this zinc-boosted pick a sweet-tart and super-fresh finish. Plus the powerful combo of vitamin C from citrus plus zinc is a dynamic duo when it comes to supporting your immune system, according to the USDA.
Prickly pear and pineapple juices are mixed with water to create a pre-workout-worthy beverage that’s rich in magnesium (key for energy production!). Plus with its gorgeous pink hue, smooth, refreshing, and tropical flavor, and its similarities to the iconic Starbucks refresher, per some taste testers, it makes for a perfect beach-side sipper.

Tasters noted that it served up puckering lemonade vibes with a hint of fruity lychee flavor. The bottle also boasts over 20% of your daily vitamin C per serving, necessary for immune support and collagen production. "Clean and very refreshing!!" noted one editor.
Spindrift Blood Orange Tangerine Sparkling Water
Sparkling water is just as hydrating as bubble-free buys, and if you're looking for something a little more exciting than plain old water, the carbonation adds some interest. Spindrift is a fan favorite in the Women's Health Test Kitchen because each can has a splash of real fruit juice. The blood orange tangerine flavor boasts a sweet-tart tang that makes for a perfect sub to orange soda.
