What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details conflict on dimensions: one field gives 8W x 33H centimetres, while another gives 17 x 8 x 33 cm; 0.28 g, whose weight unit is also unclear. Confirm the intended dimensions and weight before buying. Customer feedback also reports mixed experiences with leakage and durability, so the manufacturer's leakproof claim should not be treated as a guarantee of every user's experience.
