From the brand

-
From a simple straw
LifeStraw began as a simple mesh filter to help eradicate Guinea worm disease by removing the parasite from drinking water.
-
LifeStraw gives back
For every product purchased, a school child in need receives safe water for a year.
-
A better water filter is here
LifeStraw Home removes 30+ contaminants including bacteria, microplastics, and PFAS—all in a sleek, award-winning modern design.
-
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
Product Description
A Time Magazine Invention of the Year winner, the LifeStraw Personal Water Filter contains no chemicals, no batteries and no moving parts to wear out. It features a high flow rate and weighs only 2oz. The ultimate survival tool for hiking, camping, ultralight backpacking, hunting, travel, scouting, and emergency preparedness, its straw design is ideal for purifying water from streams, lakes, ponds and other contaminated sources. No disaster kit or bugout bag is complete without a LifeStraw, an essential component of any prepper gear lineup. Unlike many similar filters on the market today, LifeStraw has met EPA standards for water filtration in independent testing and removes a minimum 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria (>LOG 6 reduction) and 99.9% of waterborne protozoan parasites (>LOG 3 reduction), filtering to an amazing 0.2 microns and surpassing EPA standards for water filters. LifeStraw has been used around the world under extreme conditions for humanitarian relief, providing clean drinking water in developing communities. The LifeStraw Personal water filtration straw measures 9 x 1 x 1 inches and weighs 0.1 pounds; includes sealed bag for storage in backpack or survival kit. For each LifeStraw purchased, one child in a developing community receives safe drinking water for an entire school year

- Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2025Color: BlueStyle: 1 PackVerified PurchaseWorks great! If you’re thinking of going camping any time soon, this is a great and lightweight item to carry. It’s compact, lasts you a long time, and is generally inexpensive. It does its job well, but you do have to suck quite hard to get the water flowing but that’s just the filter doing its job. Easy to use, pretty self-intuitive. Overall, a survival kit must-have!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2025Color: BlueStyle: 1 PackVerified PurchaseWorks very well !
- Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2025Color: BlueStyle: 1 PackVerified PurchaseLife straws just plain work!! These have been around for at least 10 years and filter out pretty much anything in water from dirt to protozoa and will keep you hydrated in any emergency or camping trip in remote areas. I have several of these and keep them for emergencies for others in my family. Great item to keep in your go bag or car!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2025Color: BlueStyle: 1 PackVerified PurchaseThe LifeStraw Personal Water Filter is perfect for my solo hiking adventurers, or emergency kits. I wish there was a way to know for sure that the water is being properly filtered but for what it does, it earns a 4/5. Recommended for anyone seeking reliable personal water safety.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2025Color: BlueStyle: 1 PackVerified PurchaseGood quality. Nice thing to have in the bug out bag. Great peace of mind.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2025Color: BlueStyle: 1 PackVerified PurchaseVery nice quality.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2025Color: BlueStyle: 1 PackVerified PurchaseI haven't used it yet, but it's part of my stash for when I travel to areas where the water flavor is less than ideal. The cost is economical and travels and packs lightly versus other water filtration options.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2025Color: BlueStyle: 1 PackVerified PurchaseThese are a necessity for an emergency kit, these were very well priced and i was able to get 2 of them! This brand of life straw works great! I would buy them again!
We had tried this brand before and at this price, we could not pass it up for our emergency kit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un indispensable pour les aventuriers
Color: BlueStyle: 1 PackVerified PurchaseLe 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 !
