Best for

Anyone with a leaking or odor-retaining 9oz or 17oz S'well Bottle (or compatible S'ip size) who wants to restore it to factory condition for almost nothing.

Skip if

Your bottle is a different size or a different brand entirely — or if the leak is coming from a cracked or structurally damaged cap rather than a worn seal.

Price tier

Budget

$6

The verdict

At $6 for three, this is the repair that saves a $40 bottle from the recycling bin — if your S'well has started dripping or smelling off, a fresh gasket is almost certainly the fix.

What we love

  • $6 for three makes the per-gasket cost trivial
  • Fixes leaks and odor buildup — extends the life of an otherwise good bottle
  • Ten-second swap, no tools required
  • Two spares in the pack means you're covered for the next failure too

Worth knowing

  • Narrow compatibility — only fits 9oz/17oz S'well and 10oz/15oz S'ip by S'well caps, not the full S'well lineup
  • Won't fix cracked caps, stripped threads, or failed vacuum insulation
  • Small parts that are easy to lose during installation or washing

Our review

The part nobody thinks about until everything leaks

The gasket is the unsung hero of any insulated bottle. That small silicone ring seated inside the cap is what creates the leak-proof seal between your drink and your bag. And like any rubber component, it eventually stretches, warps, picks up odors from coffee and smoothies, or simply gives out after a year or two of daily dishwasher cycles. When it goes, the whole bottle feels broken — even though it isn't.

S'well sells this three-pack of replacement gaskets for exactly that moment. They're designed to fit the caps on 9oz and 17oz S'well Bottles, and the 10oz and 15oz S'ip by S'well Bottles. That's a specific compatibility list, so check your bottle size before ordering (more on that below).

What replacing it actually fixes

If your S'well lid has started dripping when you tip the bottle sideways, or if there's a faint sour smell that won't wash out, a degraded gasket is the most likely culprit. A new one snaps the lid back to factory-tight and eliminates the odor reservoir that a worn ring creates. Swapping it takes about ten seconds: pry the old gasket out with a fingernail, seat the new one in the groove, and you're done.

We've also seen gaskets slip out during vigorous hand-washing and disappear down the drain — in that case, having a spare already in the drawer is the difference between a usable bottle and a paperweight.

The value case is simple

A new S'well bottle runs $35–$45. This three-pack costs $6. If a leaky lid is the only thing wrong with your bottle, spending $6 to fix it is an obvious call. You also get two extras: one for the next failure, one for a second bottle if you have one in the compatible size range.

What it won't do

The gasket only addresses seal failure. If your cap is cracked, if the threads are stripped, or if the vacuum insulation in the bottle wall has failed (the tell: condensation on the outside, drinks going warm quickly), a new gasket won't help. This is a maintenance part, not a rescue for a bottle that's structurally compromised.

Compatibility is also genuinely narrow. These gaskets are not universal — they will not fit S'well's larger 25oz or 40oz bottles, the Traveler tumbler, or any bottle from another brand. S'well's product line has expanded considerably, and not all caps take the same gasket size.

Bottom line

For anyone who owns a compatible S'well and wants to keep it in rotation, this is a no-brainer add-to-cart. The per-unit cost is laughably low, and having spares means you're never caught with a leaky bag because a $2 silicone ring gave out.

Common questions

Gasket Replacement 3 Pack, answered

Why is my S'well bottle leaking?

The most common cause is a worn or stretched gasket — the silicone ring inside the cap that creates the seal. It degrades over time, especially with frequent dishwasher use. Replacing it usually fixes the leak entirely.

Which S'well bottles does this gasket fit?

This three-pack is compatible with the caps on 9oz and 17oz S'well Bottles, and the 10oz and 15oz S'ip by S'well Bottles. It does not fit larger S'well sizes or other S'well product lines like the Traveler.

How do you replace a S'well bottle gasket?

Use a fingernail or the tip of a spoon to pry the old gasket out of the groove inside the cap. Press the new gasket firmly into the same groove until it seats evenly all the way around. The whole process takes under a minute.

How often should you replace a S'well gasket?

There's no fixed schedule — replace it when you notice leaking, persistent odors that don't wash out, or visible cracking and discoloration on the ring itself. Heavy daily use with machine washing tends to wear them faster.

Can you put S'well gaskets in the dishwasher?

S'well generally recommends hand-washing its bottles and caps. Repeated dishwasher cycles are one of the main reasons gaskets degrade faster, so hand-washing the cap extends the time between replacements.

Will this gasket fix a S'well bottle that smells bad?

Often, yes — a worn gasket harbors bacteria and absorbs odors that regular washing can't reach. A fresh gasket, combined with a thorough cleaning of the cap itself, typically resolves persistent smell issues.
