I hate Playtex cups for this reason. Sadie has one with the handles, and it's so annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-were-on-the-topic-of-straw-cups#post-1360971 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 09:55:15 +0000 mrsjyw 1360971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, we have these and it's so annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-were-on-the-topic-of-straw-cups#post-1360830 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 08:53:12 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1360830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just take the bottom straw out and he tips it like a bottle to drink. But yes, so stupid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-were-on-the-topic-of-straw-cups#post-1360826 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 08:50:37 +0000 Beebug 1360826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have these ones (with the handles) and it's annoying. DD has finally figured out getting to the bottom of the cup and knows when to ask for more now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-were-on-the-topic-of-straw-cups#post-1360758 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 08:12:03 +0000 Weagle 1360758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On some of our older Playtex cups I have to bend the straw so there's actually clearance for the liquid to come through. Otherwise she's just sucking on the bottom of the cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-were-on-the-topic-of-straw-cups#post-1360656 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 02:45:23 +0000 Crystal 1360656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have seen so many cups like that, and I don't get it either. Especially since many of the LOs I see tip the cup, so they get even less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-were-on-the-topic-of-straw-cups#post-1360642 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 02:11:48 +0000 googly-eyes 1360642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and if you just shove the straw together without paying attention it is easily even shorter than what's pictured here... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/while-were-on-the-topic-of-straw-cups#post-1360641 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 02:10:52 +0000 googly-eyes 1360641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER?</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Playtex-Gripper-Twist-Colors-2-Count/dp/B001OAKMEO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1390200862&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=playtex+straw+cup" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Playtex-Gripper-Twist-Colors-2-Count/dp/B001OAKMEO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1390200862&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=playtex+straw+cup</a></p> <p>The straw doesn't even go all the way down! I think Playtex actually changed their straws maybe 6-12 months ago, because when I bought them for dd last spring (she wasn't ready) I swear the straw was longer...and at target I saw they recently changed things up again (not a fan.) Other than that I actually don't think playtex cups are bad..the one with the handles is better. </p> [attach=1954/14/mzoum7.528x600.Playtex-Straw-Cup.jpg]
