We claim: 1. A bottle comprising; a base, a mouth, and sidewalls extending from the base to the mouth; the sidewalls further comprising a first sidewall and an opposing second sidewall, and a third sidewall and an opposing fourth sidewall, the third and fourth sidewalls joining the first and second sidewalls, the first and second sidewalls each being wider than each of the third and fourth sidewalls; a first shoulder formed in the third sidewall; a second shoulder formed in the fourth sidewall; a retaining clip comprising a base configured for removeable attachment to a belt, the clip having: (1) a first arm extending from the base and an opposing second arm extending from the base; (2) a third arm extending from the base and an opposing fourth arm extending from the base; (3) the first and the third arm joining to form a first lip for engaging the first shoulder formed in the third sidewall of the bottle; and, (4) the second and the fourth arm joining to form a second lip for engaging second shoulder formed in the fourth sidewall of the bottle; wherein the base of the clip comprises a first slot between the first and the second arm and a second slot between the third and the fourth arm, the bottle further having a central axis extending generally from the base of the bottle to the mouth, the belt for retaining the clip having two distal ends and a length measured between the two distal ends to define a belt axis between the two distal ends, the belt being fed through both the first and the second slots to retain the clip to the belt whereby the central axis of the bottle is substantially parallel to the belt axis; whereby the bottle is configured for mating engagement with the clip and further wherein the bottle is configured and formed from a material that is sufficiently flexible such that the bottle is readily compressible to release the bottle from the retaining clip. 2. The bottle of claim 1, wherein the clip comprises a width from the first lip to the second lip and a depth from the base of the clip to first lip, the width being greater than the depth. 3. The bottle of claim 1, wherein the base of the clip further comprises a third slot and a fourth slot substantially between the first slot and the second slot, the third slot and the fourth slot each being substantially orthogonal to at least one of the first slot and the second slot. 4. The clip of claim 3, wherein the first slot comprises a first slot width and a first slot length that is substantially greater than the first slot width and the second slot comprises a second slot width and a second slot length that is substantially greater than the second slot width, the first slot further having a first opening located centrally along the first slot length, the second slot having a second opening located centrally along the second slot length, such that the belt is insertable through each of the first opening and the second opening and retained within the first slot and the second slot. 5. The clip of claim 4, wherein the third slot comprises a third slot width and a third slot length that is substantially greater than the third slot width and the fourth slot comprises a fourth slot width and a fourth slot length that is substantially greater than the fourth slot width, the third slot further having a third slot opening located centrally along the third slot length, the fourth slot having a fourth slot opening located centrally along the fourth slot length, the third slot opening being adjacent the first lip for engaging the bottle and the fourth slot opening being adjacent the second lip for engaging the bottle. 6. The clip of claim 5, wherein the third slot opening is positioned directly opposite the fourth slot opening. 7. The clip of claim 6, wherein the first slot opening is positioned directly opposite the second slot opening. 8. The clip of claim 5, wherein the first slot opening is positioned directly opposite the second slot opening. 9. The clip of claim 3, wherein the first slot has a first length and the second slot has a second length, each of the first length and the second length being substantially equal, the base of the clip further comprises a first open area between the first arm and the third arm, and a second open area between the second arm and the fourth arm, the first open area having a first width from the first arm to the third arm and the second open area having a second width from the second arm to the fourth arm, the first width and the second width being substantially equal, each of the first width and the second width further being substantially equal to each of the first slot length and the second slot length. 10. The clip of claim 1, wherein the first slot has a first length and the second slot has a second length, each of the first length and the second length being substantially equal, the base of the clip further comprises a first open area between the first arm and the third arm, and a second open area between the second arm and the fourth arm, the first open area having a first width from the first arm to the third arm and the second open area having a second width from the second arm to the fourth arm, the first width and the second width being substantially equal, each of the first width and the second width further being substantially equal to each of the first slot length and the second slot length. 11. The bottle of claim 1, wherein the third sidewall comprises a first recessed bottle slot formed along the first shoulder of the bottle and the fourth sidewall comprises a second recessed bottle slot formed along the second shoulder of the bottle. 12. The bottle of claim 11, wherein the first bottle slot is formed centrally on the third sidewall and the second bottle slot is formed centrally on the fourth sidewall. 13. The bottle of claim 1, wherein the third sidewall comprises a first obround depression adjacent the first shoulder of the bottle and the fourth sidewall comprises a second obround depression adjacent the second shoulder of the bottle. 14. The bottle of claim 13, wherein the first obround depression is formed centrally on the third sidewall and the second obround depression is formed centrally on the fourth sidewall. 15. The bottle of claim 13, the first slot comprises a first slot width and a first slot length that is substantially greater than the first slot width and the second slot comprises a second slot width and a second slot length that is substantially greater than the second slot width, the first slot further having a first opening located centrally along the first slot length, the second slot having a second opening located centrally along the second slot length, such that the belt is insertable through each of the first opening and the second opening and retained within the first slot and the second slot. 16. The clip of claim 15, wherein the first opening is directly opposite the second opening. 17. The clip of claim 1, wherein the first slot comprises a first slot width and a first slot length that is substantially greater than the first slot width and the second slot comprises a second slot width and a second slot length that is substantially greater than the second slot width, the first slot further having a first opening located centrally along the first slot length, the second slot having a second opening located centrally along the second slot length, such that the belt is insertable through each of the first opening and the second opening and retained within the first slot and the second slots. 18. The bottle of claim 17, wherein the third sidewall comprises a first recessed bottle slot formed along the first shoulder of the bottle and the fourth sidewall comprises a second opposing recessed bottle slot formed along the second shoulder of the bottle. 19. The bottle of claim 17, wherein the third sidewall comprises a first obround depression adjacent the first shoulder of the bottle and the fourth sidewall comprises a second opposing obround depression adjacent the second shoulder of the bottle. 20. The clip of claim 17, wherein the first opening is directly opposite the second opening.
