Cupholder/storage for larger water bottles?

I've got a 32 oz. Hydroflask that I am tired of having roll around on my front passenger seat when I drive around. I recently purchased a Swigzy adapter to put in the front cupholder to hold it as the bottle is too wide to fit. It works, sort of - I have a 6MT and the position of the cupholder makes it pretty tough to shift normally with the adapter installed. And it looks pretty bad, too.

Has anyone figured out a better way to carry a larger water bottle or does anyone have a recommendation for a thinner insulated water bottle that fits in the front cupholder?

I put mine in the area between the two back seats. I seal it and lay it down. Unless you're pulling some serious G-Force, it won't move.

I typically put the larger bottles of water in the cargo net located in the trunk. I would invest in a really nice smaller bottle that will fit in the cup holder for "water on the go" and have the large bottle in the back. Might not be ideal but it beats adding an extra accessory in the interior. I personally prefer the minimalist look in my interior. I have wireless Apple Carplay so I don't even have a phone mount or cable.

Have you tried the driver side door pocket for the water bottle? I put my smaller 2X oz hydroflask in the door due to not fitting in cup holders by shifter and due to being a 6psd.

My bottle is too big for the door - are you saying a 24 oz. Hydroflask will fit in there? May need to get one.

I have a 21oz, considerably smaller, which fits nicely in the door.
