Lyd has launched a new spill-proof water bottle with lid designed to automatically opens when it touches users lips.

he California-based team behind Lyd is introducing a water bottle unlike any other. Lyd offers consumers all of the best features of an artfully designed beverage container, plus the unique addition of automation. Today, Lyd launched on Kickstarter with the goal of raising $30,000 in 35 days to bring their product directly to consumers.

Lyd Bottle’s automated cap controls the flow of liquid while its integrated smart lid opens at the touch of the user’s lips, closing once they’ve finished drinking. This technology, along with Lyd’s unique 360-degree access design, allows users to enjoy their beverage with a one-handed motion.

“I felt that consumers should be able to drink from the vessel as if it were a glass and never worry about their beverage spilling,” explained founder Fredrik Krafft. “Why should people worry about a beverage leaving the bottle if it is laying on its side? Voila! Lyd was born.”

As an innovative, reusable water bottle, Lyd’s specialized vacuum flask interior keeps beverages hot or cold for up to 8 hours. Lyd Bottle comes equipped with wireless charging, allowing easy re-power without the need for batteries or additional wires. The battery charges in just four hours, with a charge lasting for up to two weeks. Should the battery ever run low, users can still access their drink with a manual click of the lid.
