im Water makes a bottled hydration solution that's pH-balanced, fueled by electrolytes, and exceptionally easy to take on the go as "the world's first wearable water." im Water offers a flat, peel-stretch-and-stick im Water Wearable Label with a patterned, primary color design that turns 16-ounce to 1.5-liter bottles into slings for hands-free carrying. As far as how to sport the bottle, the brand recommends wearing it cross-body on the hip or back, or even wearing it around the neck as a necklace.
At a time when colorful, collectible charms and accessories have turned into wearable style statements, carrying around an everyday essential for human life and well-being has become just as much about self-expression as staying hydrated.
