“Why are you drinking out of a Hegen bottle?”, asked my former editor when we met for a catch-up recently. As a mother, she is well-acquainted with the homegrown brand’s baby products. And since I’m a childless 27-year-old, my bottle has piqued the interest of my friends and family.
The reason why I faithfully carry my Hegen Drinking Bottle with me wherever I go is simple. It's lightweight, portable, and comes in the ideal size — it is not too bulky, yet not so small that I need constant refills. It’s easy to see how such a bottle would come in handy for parents, who often have their hands full (literally and figuratively).

At its inception in 2015, Hegen’s products have been formulated to enhance the nursing experience for mothers and their babies. The brand is best known for its award-winning, revolutionary Express-Store-Feed concept, which effectively minimises the risk of milk wastage.
In essence, customisation lies at the heart of Hegen's design philosophy and you can take it one step further with Hegen By Me, a personalisation service that allows you to build a bottle that suits your specific needs. Select the type and size of your bottle, the colour of the lid, as well as the accompanying accessories. There is no detail that is too minor — you can even decide on the flow rates of the teat. Printing the bottles with the name of your choice also helps to minimise the possibility of mix-ups!

Another reason why I have a soft spot for my personalised bottle is because it comes with charming illustrations of my favourite felines. It’s part of Hegen’s latest collection, “The Island Friends”, which marks the first time the brand is offering customisation options beyond black prints. As the name suggests, this range is an ode to some of Singapore's beloved animals: the Singapura cat, otters, and oriental pied hornbills. Colourful and vibrant, these captivating designs are sure to appeal to the little ones as well.
So, whether you’re searching for a thoughtful gift for the young parents in your life or simply in the market for a new bottle, Hegen’s selection will not disappoint. Head over to their online store to explore Hegen By Me and build your dream bottle!
