I pretty much am the worst at drinking water. A while back I did a review about LARQ (see here) and honestly ever since I got a cool water bottle I’ve improved my water-drinking habits…but I still am not the best. I think my number one issue is the taste. I find water very boring, so I always want to drink flavored water or Vitamin Water. This is why I like using hydration packets.
One hassle I have found though is finding the right ones. Some are too sweet, too expensive and some just end up tasting downright awful. This ends up making me hate drinking water again and we all know drinking water and getting your electrolytes is a crucial part of staying healthy. So, I recently came across a new subscription box service that allows you to test out some different hydration packets; the Hydrate Club!
About the Hydrate Club
Everyone needs the right balance of electrolytes to keep their bodies healthy and in top shape. Athletes and people who exercise need them due to increased sweating. The Hydrate Club is a North Carolina-based subscription box service that sends electrolyte drink packages right to your door.
Each month the Hydrate Club spotlights a different company and features four samples of their electrolyte mix offerings. Your subscription box includes multiple flavors and announces exactly what is in the box for the next month ahead of time. This information is especially helpful for anyone with dietary restrictions or allergies. You have the option each month to upgrade to a box that includes all flavors that the company makes. You can learn more about the CEO and owner of the Hydrate Club, Charlotte in this video here.
The Lex Paige Reaction
To review for all of my readers, I received the January month subscription to the Hydrate Club. In the package, there were four individually wrapped hydration drink mixes from a company called Skratchlabs. The flavors I received were the Sport Hydration Drink Mixes in Fruit Punch, Strawberry Lemonade, Orange, and Lemon & Lime. I decided to try out the Fruit Punch for this review and it tasted pretty good. It wasn’t as sweet as some of the hydration fruit punch drops I’ve tried in the past and I felt hydrated after drinking it. I would say my energy kicked in around twenty minutes after consuming it.
One thing I wanted to do since I had never heard of Skratchlabs before was to research it. I found the company website and saw that these hydration mixes sell for $1.95 each. I then began to do some math to make sure this subscription service was giving you the best bang for your buck. I did a mock order on the website and found I could purchase four packets with shipping for $11.11. Since this subscription box only includes four packets and includes shipping, I will say it costs a little more when you first start your service because of the $3 setup fee. However, since the following months are all $10 each, once you are past your first month, it looks like it about evens out for what you pay for the subscription service.
Overall, I think the Hydrate Club is perfect for the athlete, outdoor enthusiast, or chronic illness warrior who doesn’t want to leave the home to stay hydrated. I also feel this is a great subscription box service for people who want to try out new and unique hydration brands in an easy way. I could easily see myself ordering a box or two if I was preparing for a big outdoor trip so I could get the best hydration during my adventure. I recommend giving this box a try if you are struggling to stay hydrated and want a diversity of electrolyte powders delivered right to your door.
You can join the Hydrate Club for $3 and then select the plan that works best for you. There is an opinion to sign up for the flexible month-to-month plan for $12 or save by committing to a yearly subscription at $10 per month ($24 savings a year). This subscription box service provides free shipping and handling within the U.S. For all my readers, if you use my code LEX at checkout, you will receive 10% OFF your first order. Happy hydrating friends!
With Love,
Lex Paige
