  2. From a simple straw

    LifeStraw began as a simple mesh filter to help eradicate Guinea worm disease by removing the parasite from drinking water.

  3. LifeStraw gives back

    For every product purchased, a school child in need receives safe water for a year.

  4. A better water filter is here

    LifeStraw Home removes 30+ contaminants including bacteria, microplastics, and PFAS—all in a sleek, award-winning modern design.

  5. How did we get our start?

    It all began with a simple idea: a mesh filter designed as a straw to fight guinea worm disease. In 1994, LifeStraw partnered with The Carter Center to design a simple mesh filter to remove Guinea worm larvae from drinking water. Since then we have designed water filtration for outdoors and home.

    What makes our products unique?

    Every LifeStraw product removes bacteria, parasites, and microplastics.

    Why do we love what we do?

    We have humanitarian roots and believe that impact matters. To us, it's not just water filters, its ensuring equitable access to safe water for all

    Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2024

    The LifeStraw has been a solid addition to my hiking and camping gear. It works great and does exactly what it promises which is providing clean, drinkable water from natural sources. During my trips, it has filtered water efficiently, allowing me to stay hydrated without any issues.

    What I like about the LifeStraw is its simplicity and ease of use. It’s lightweight and portable, making it perfect for travel and emergency preparedness. I can easily carry it in my backpack without taking up much space. I leave one in the vehicles as well with the spare tire.

    On the flip side, there's not much to say in terms of drawbacks. It’s a straightforward product that does its job well. It doesn't have any bells and whistles, but for a personal water filter, that’s exactly what you need.

    I think this straw is great for anyone who enjoys outdoor activities. It offers peace of mind knowing you can access safe drinking water, making it a must have for hiking, camping, and emergency situations.

    For the price you can't beat a life straw but should only be used in an emergency like life or death situation otherwise spend more money and get a more high-end water filter. This is one of many life straws I bought, so they are definitely worth buying if you need clean water when hiking or in an emergency situation.

    Le LifeStraw - Filtre à eau personnel est un excellent produit pour tous ceux qui aiment les activités en plein air. Sa conception compacte et légère en fait un compagnon idéal pour le camping, la randonnée ou les situations d'urgence.

    L'utilisation est simple : il suffit de plonger l'extrémité dans une source d'eau, et vous pouvez boire directement. J'apprécie particulièrement sa capacité à éliminer 99,9 % des bactéries et protozoaires, ce qui me donne une grande tranquillité d'esprit.

    La qualité du filtre est impressionnante, et je l'ai utilisé plusieurs fois sans aucun problème. C'est un accessoire essentiel pour rester hydraté en toute sécurité, où que vous soyez. Je le recommande vivement à tous les amateurs d'aventure !

    It has a great size and weight, which makes it very good for backpacking or other outdoor sports and it could really save your life in some situations. The problem is only its efficiency, it's very hard to suck the water through the straw, which even made my cheeks hurt. You also have to improvise on how to fit it on your bottles. There are much better versions on the market, but this on is very cheap and does the job, not excellent, but does the job.
