I really wanted to like these cups. Up until now we'd been using the TT drinking cups and really liked them.

My son's speech therapist recommended cups with straws. I thought cups that were similar to the ones we have would be the easiest transition since these cups are almost identical except for the drinking mechanism. And he did in fact transition quickly and easily.

First of all, these cups leak constantly. Juice/milk is always dripping out of the straw. When we fill them and screw the cap back on, liquid spurts out of the straw, (note: we are not overfilling). We tried closing the straw outlet, but it happens as soon as we open it again.

Second, the straw is not long enough and a few ounces of liquid always remain in the bottom, which I find wasteful.

Lastly, they are not easy to clean due to all the parts and reassembling is a chore.

I wish I could go back to the drinking cups, but now my son is used to the straw and it is better for him. I will be trying other brands of sippys with straws the next time they are on sale. Very disappointed.

These cups are amazing. My son thinks it's hilarious to turn his cups upside down and shake them so they will drip all over the floor. With these cups he is unable to do that! YAY, no more milk spotted rug! Yes, these cups are more of a hassle to put together but they are worth the extra effort!

I bought these for my toddler who loves and uses straw sippy cups. The parts are difficult to put together, by that I mean attaching the straw to the piece that attaches to the lid. The white part that attaches to the lid often came loose or undone and would cause the contents of the cup to spill, if not gush out. If the straw did stay where it was supposed to stay the suction created via the straw would continue to siphon up through the straw creating a mess as well. The bulbous bottom makes it difficult to use in cup holders in the car, too. I wouldn't recomend this to anyone. I threw mine away.

Love these cups better than the Playtex brand. The straw goes all the way to the bottom so my son gets all of his drink. The only complaint is that you have to make sure you fit all the pieces properly and securely otherwise they get nothing or just air as I learned eventually and was about to throw them out when I realized it was not set up properly. The only time we have problems with leaking is if I fill it up too much. My son likes the cups and they're easy for him to carry around.

I bought these cups for my 2 year old son who drinks out of a straw. He has never been able to get any liquid up the straw with these cups though. At best,he gets air and drop of water here and there. I've tried the cups too and can't get any water up. I have had family and friends look at them but no one seems to be able to figure it out. Weird!

I bought this cup for my son who is 12 months and loves to drink from a straw, but the cup is not what I expected. We have used Tommee Tippee in the past with our oldest child and always loved there products. This cup leaks and for some reason it stores up the liquid in the lid, which caused it to spill when I am trying to open the cup for cleaning or to add more liquid. I will be returning this cup. DON'T BUY THIS CUP.

This sippy cup does have a little more to it, so assembly takes slightly more time than simpler models. BUT the extra step is totally worth it because the cup is awesome. The straw angles forward, which makes it easy for little ones to sip while relaxing during story time. And you don't have to move the straw around to get all of the liquid out.

I havent had any problem cleaning them in the dishwasher. Just disassemble and stick the parts in the bottle cage thingy.

Happy sipping

I bought it since my son, who is 13 months, knows how to sip through straws perfectly. But these straw cups are so difficult for him to sip juice, sometimes nothing comes out. I hate how the assembling the cup because it has to be perfect, and washing is ugh!!!!

This product is impossible to clean. My child can't open to the lid to get to the straw. The interior straw does not reach to the bottom of the cup, leaving juice or milk at the bottom of the cup. If you wash the cup as directed by the instructions, the dishwasher residue is all over the lid. Handwashing is your only option. And there are many pieces and it is hard to reassemble. The company is paying for return shipment and I am getting a different type.
