Learn the simple steps to use your Grip and Sip Lid, including how to open, drink, close, clean, and check the seal. This guide helps you get the most from your bottle lid.
Quick answer
Flip up the hygienic spout cover, tilt the bottle to sip through the fast-flow chugger spout, then close the cover until it clicks. That is the basic use of the Grip and Sip Lid.
Why the Grip and Sip Lid is different
Unlike a standard screw cap or straw lid, the Grip and Sip Lid combines a fast-flow spout with a hygienic flip cover. The ergonomic grip handle makes it easy to hold, and the leak-proof closure keeps your bag dry when the lid is shut. Because it fits every frank green bottle, you can swap it between your 25oz bottle and your 20oz Chrome without buying a second lid.
What to watch out for
The fast-flow spout means water comes out quickly. If you are not used to it, take a small first sip to avoid gulping. Also, the lid is dishwasher safe, but the flip cover hinge can trap debris if not rinsed before washing. A quick rinse after each use keeps the mechanism working smoothly.
How to use the Grip and Sip Lid
- Open the flip cover: Use your thumb to push the hygienic flip cover upward until it clicks open. Do not pull it sideways; the hinge is designed to move straight up. If the cover feels stiff, it is working correctly. A loose cover may not seal properly.
- Sip through the spout: Tilt the bottle so the spout is lower than the base. The fast-flow chugger spout delivers a steady stream, so start with a small sip to gauge the flow rate. Do not squeeze the bottle while drinking. Squeezing can cause splashing. Let gravity do the work.
- Close the cover after each use: Push the flip cover down until you hear a click. This re-engages the leak-proof seal. If the cover does not click, check that no debris is blocking the hinge or the rim. A missing click means the lid is not fully sealed. Wipe the rim clean and try again.
- Clean the lid regularly: Rinse the lid under warm water after each use, especially around the flip cover hinge and the spout opening. Place the lid on the top rack of the dishwasher for a thorough clean. Do not use abrasive scrubbers on the silicone seal. The lid is dishwasher safe, but hand rinsing prevents buildup in the hinge.
- Check the seal before filling: Before you fill your bottle, inspect the silicone gasket inside the lid. It should sit flush in its groove with no gaps or twists. A misaligned gasket is the most common cause of leaks. If the gasket is loose, remove it, rinse it, and press it back into place.
