These bottles are typically crafted from soft, flexible, food-grade silicone that is BPA-free, non-toxic, and odorless. The material allows the bottle to be collapsed into a compact, disc-like or flat shape when not full, which saves significant space in a bag, pocket, or backpack. They maintain a stable, sturdy shape when expanded and filled with liquid.
