Does a toddler sippy cup exist that DOESN'T leak???

[maslex]

UGH..............I watch my 2.5yr old twin grand-daughters 4 days a week. Seems as though we have gone through every sippy cup known to mankind trying to find one that doesn't leak.
Please tell me there's one out there.................lol
Any suggestions?

As you can tell from my signature, it's been a while since we needed sippy cups, but I was always a big fan of Nuby. I just searched on Amazon and it looks like they're still around.

So I'm probably not the answer you want, but my favorite sippy cups were intentionally NOT spill-proof. In fact, I often removed the valve on spill proof cups. My favorites were basic Tupperware bell tumblers with lids. The lids help contain so a whole cupful doesn't spill if knocked, but if turned upside down it will all drain out. This taught the kids 1) to leave the cup at the table, not drag it around the playroom where it easily gets knocked over, and 2) to tilt the cup and drink from it rather than to suck.

Funny that is what we used too.

Just saw a paediatrician saw this was a good cup or ones with straws so that they do suck to get it out so they strengthen the jaw in the mouth or something like that.

Dr. Brown's weight straw cup. It has a lid.

Eventually it was just easier to get a steamer and steam clean the carpets and furniture every 6 months or so to get rid of the splash spots that would show up over time.

The one I had lasted me over 25 years, I just gifted it away, having the Bissel was so much easier than trying to prevent the impossible.

That's the one I used for my kids, also. In fact they're still in use when we travel for us adult types.

Those are the ones we used for Vince and Natalie, now in their middle 40's. We also still use them today, without the sippy part . My favorite is green.

I forgot to include quoting you also.

We used Contigo straw cups for water. We only served milk with meals at the table, so we used take n toss cups (that I hand washed and reused) or small plastic cups from Ikea. There were milk spills, but I knew about them since I was at the table/in the room, it was on tile not carpet and the chairs were non-porous.

Also, I just wanted to say your granddaughters are lucky to have such an amazing, invested grandma.

My favorite is green

Mine has always been yellow! I grew up with those cups (before they had lids), one of four kids so we each had a color.

Green, yellow, red, blue. I have my morning orange juice in my green sippy cup, sans lid, every morning.
