Over the last year, we have searched and searched for the perfect sippy cup that does NOT leak. As soon as we thought we found one, Ian figured out that he can turn the cup over and water/milk drips out and loves to play with it after it drips out. *Sigh* So, I think {key word, think} that we have finally found THE winner. But, first, I wanted to share with you the ones that we have tried, and liked for some amount of time, but why we ended up having to ditch it.
I loved this cup when Ian was transitioning from a bottle because the weighted straw meant he would get liquid out no matter how he held it. So, it really was a good cup for when he was learning to drink out of something other than a bottle. We only had one of these, but my complaint was that the top was pretty hard to screw on. The lid that came over the straw broke off so easily that we eventually lost it. But, it is a good training cup for sure!
After we decided to forgo the first cup, this was the one we went to next. These work pretty well, but I did have issues with the top not screwing on properly, so milk would always leak out the side. I ended up giving up on these. I have used it without the handle when all of our good cups are clean and it has worked a lot better without that handle. Since I did like the price point of these, I ended up switching to the Stage 2 cups, which is next on the list!
Okay, so we LOVED these sisters for a quite a few months. They're under $8 for a 2-pack, and the straw was one of the the first things Ian mastered after a bottle, so it made it easy for him to drink out of. I never worried about throwing these in my bag because they have the lid that slides right over the straw. These were the cups that became an issue when Ian figured out he couldnt tip them over and water or milk would slowly drip out, so we were on the hunt for the next cup!
TOMMEE TIPEE COOL SIPPY
These are my ABSOLUTE favorites so far! I LOVE this cup! We haven't had any issues with leakage, the new {I'll explain} parts are easy to clean, and, of course, like most cups, dishwasher safe...winning! But, MAKE SURE you buy the ones that are the new design (you can see where it says "new" on the top right of the packaging. We got a set of the older designed ones and I HATED cleaning the part that kept it from leaking--it was so hard to get all of the milk out of it, but the new design is fabulous, and I have had zero issues with it {including NO leaks}! Target only sells these in store, but you can find them on amazon HERE.
MUNCHKIN MIRACLE
So, I did just buy one of these the other day. We haven't tried it yet, but I had heard such great things about this style that I wanted to give it a shot. I'll report back after we've gotten a few weeks of use out of it!
What are your favorite sippy cups for your little ones? I'm hoping by the time we decide to have our second baby, we'll have the sippy cups figured out. Have a great day mommas!

Sippy cups are by far one of the most frustrating things about having a little one. I am a believer of the Nalgene bottle. https://www.nalgene.com/product/2182-1812/ It's not for babes that are transitioning away from the bottle since it's a hard plastic sipper, but it's the only cup that doesn't leak even if it's tossed every which way. A bit more expensive than some ($10ea) but worth the eliminated frustrations!
