You need this accessory for your giant drink bottle

Willy and Bear was founded by Kelsey and Rylie, two best friends from Queensland who discovered they had a common problem: their large one-litre water bottles were constantly rolling around our car floors because they didn’t fit in our car’s cup holder space.

Lovers of a good road trip, the pair decided they needed a solution and came up with Willy and Beach Cup Holder Expanders – Australia’s original car cup expander.

After countless prototypes and testing sessions, the friends developed a product that was not only functional but also sustainable and stylish. Months of hard work went into creating the perfect design that was incredibly secure and still allowed easy access to your water bottle (instead of sticking like many silicone options).

Once released, people couldn’t wait to get their hands on the cup holders! The pair went viral, amassing over one million views on TikTok from like-minded roadtrippers who were having the same issue. Customers raved about the Willy and Bear Cup Holder Expanders, which fit snugly into the standard-size car cup holder, allowing them to accommodate larger bottles effortlessly.

Manufactured entirely in Australia, these expanders reflect the bestie’s commitment to supporting local businesses and minimising their environmental footprint. The cup holders are made from recycled materials, and also recyclable, ensuring a closed-loop lifecycle.

The expanders also come in several different colours, meaning that whatever your personal style, there is a Cup Holder for you!

Whether you prefer the sleek OG black, bestselling Candy Pink or vibrant blue, there’s something to suit you and your car.

Next time you’re tired of your large water bottle rolling around your car floor and getting damaged, or you find yourself thirsty and unable to reach it, remember Willy and Bear—the two best friends who turned their problem into a perfect solution, all while supporting their local community and the planet.
