You’re probably already familiar with the internet-breaking Stanley Quencher. As Stanley’s most popular product to date, the Quencher built a cult following as quickly as it appeared—and it’s still one of our favorite Stanley products. With new collections and designs dropping all the time (hello, Mesa Rose!), the tumbler is almost as much an accessory as it is a hydration station.

For folks who take their Stanley Quencher everywhere, it pays to invest in a few extras that make the tumbler experience just a little more personalized. To quell our own curiosity, we tested five different Stanley cup accessories to see whether they’re worth snagging or skipping. Happy sipping!

Stanley Tumbler Accessories Car Cupholder Expander
MADI KOETTING FOR TASTE OF HOME

Car Cupholder Expander

Pros:

  • Fits multiple cup sizes
  • Snaps in securely
  • Easy to remove
  • Made from sturdy materials
  • Offset helps fit multiples
  • Long base option available

Cons:

  • May not work with connected cupholders

If your car’s cup holder is just too small to fit your Stanley ProTour tumbler, you need this expander. It has a wide mouth to fit large water bottles and awkwardly shaped travel mugs. I love having this Stanley cup accessory on hand for road trips, and I never have to worry about a tumbler not fitting inside.

It’s so easy to use—just stick it in the cup holder and twist until it’s secure. This handy helper is made from sturdy materials and there are long base options for taller cupholders. We also appreciate the optional offset base, which ensures the other cupholder isn’t obscured.

Protect your beloved water bottle with this boot and straw cover set. The boot prevents your Stanley from falling victim to dents or scratches, and the straw cover prevents dirt and debris from getting into your drink. As a bonus, the boot also offers a little bit of grip, preventing tips and spills.

“The straw toppers are a must,” says tester Nicole Doster. “The silicone strap stretches easily around your straws and secures in place, while the cap itself prevents dust/debris—even bugs!— from getting into your bottle. The silicone boot protects the Quencher from scratches on hard surfaces, and also prevents the bottle itself from clanging, assuring a softer landing on countertops and tables.”

“Since the 40-ounce cup isn’t leak-free it can be cumbersome to travel with, but this bag clips on snug, keeping the bottle vertical and easy to access on walks or trips to the gym,” says Nicole. “I appreciate the spacious pockets and clips to store my keys, phone and headphones. The bag has a firm vinyl pocket that’s good for holding a phone and a credit card or spare cash. I also really love the flexible mesh pocket, which can hold my Airpods case or hand sanitizer.”

“This accessory is specifically designed to pair with the Stanley Carry-All which I have also tested,” notes Nicole. “The case has an opening in the back that you can slide the Carry-All strap through, adding extra storage options. I was impressed with the high-quality materials of the PU leather. It’s very buttery soft—I had to double check it wasn’t real leather! The hardware (zippers, clasps, pulls) are durable, too.”

How We Tested

We enlisted our expert shopping editors to test out the most popular Stanley cup accessories for this piece. Since we’re already big fans of the Stanley tumbler, we incorporated the accessories into our daily use. Testers noted any benefits or drawbacks observed during about a month of consistent use. We then used this data to determine which Stanley cup accessories are worth snagging and which accessories folks should skip.

Others We Tested

The Stay Smooth Straw Topper: “These are really strange, unless its helpful for an accessibility purpose that I’m not seeing,” says Nicole. We’re also not sure if there’s any truth behind the theory that pursing lips around a straw would cause wrinkles. But, for those who prefer not to use a regular old straw, this works fine for sipping. We just wish there was a stopper at the top like there is for the straw caps.
