What to look for in a drink stabilizer

The best features depend on where spills happen. This checklist stays neutral and maps features to surfaces.

Core features

• Stability footprint: does it widen or stabilize the base?
• Surface contact: does it sit evenly on soft/uneven surfaces?
• Friction vs controlled slide: too much grip can snag; too little can skate.
• Fit: bottle/can/cup sizing and how snug it holds (guide).
• Cleaning: real-world upkeep (guide).
