W&P Insulated Bottle Review
@wandpdesign Travel cup is enamel-coated insulated metal with silicone sleeve. This holds two fluid cups of liquid, it feels nice, the inside of the lid that touches the fluid is metal and it fits the car cup holder, so it’s hitting all our metrics! #travelcup#coffee#tea#reusable#bringyourown#momlife#wifelife#sustainability
