Sippy Cup SEARCH....


I am on the search for new sippy cups that DON'T leek! All of our straw ones are missing straws and all the sippy ones are getting..... old!!! Do any of you have sippy cups that you like that don't leek and are SOMEWHAT easy to clean? I know that's a lot to ask for but I am NOT ready to switch to regular cups all the time.... I don't need the extra clean up!!!! :) 
SUGGESTIONS.......PLEASE!

OK, so I have a favorite cup that I would buy 20 of if they weren't so expensive. I love em and they have never leaked (I've even held them upside down and shaken them...I like testing out products). They have the stopper like the sippy cup but are better. Go to http://www.playtexproducts.com/infant/CupsByStage.asp It's the Coolster Tumbler at the bottom of the page. I think they cost around $5 or $6 each. They're perfect for the ages of our kids.

I have to agree with the above comment. These are the exact cups we have and they are AWESOME! Never a leak!

I have to also agree with Hanks & Queen. I love those Playtex cups. The only downside to those is they have a small valve thing that you have to clean separately from the cup...not too bad though.

My son's fav is this one:

They don't leak and are the easiest cup to clean. No valves at all so you can stick the whole cup in the dishwasher.

Hope this helps. I'm loving it here in Holland. It has been such a great adventure so far. It's fun to experience new things and meet new people.

Okay, I may not be helpful, but I am way too cheap to buy sippies like that! I stopped by ANY sippy with multiple pieces a LONG time ago because they got so nasty and I had to replace them so often. In fact, Spencer NEVER even used a sippy with a stopper. And he does great. In fact, not using sippy cups with stoppers helps kids get ready to drink from normal cups.

I ONLY buy disposable sippes. They come in 4 packs for like $2.50--I use them for 4-6 months and then toss them with the lids look old. They are FABULOUS! Then we always have some on hand and it's no biggie if they get lost of left somewhere. (and if they get left with milk or juice and then lost, I just toss it instead of making myself clean it because I can't bear to throw away something expensive!)

I take them in my diaper bag all the time and never have a problem with leaking (unless you turn your diaper bag all the way upside down!! :) They go in the dishwasher really easily. I mean, they are basic...but really functional.

Anyway, that's my two cents that probably doesn't count for much. :)
