Seriously!! We have 3 Zoli cups, all leak. I bought a B.Box after a Bee said it didn't leak. But the water comes out the top when just sitting on the counter. Then it leaked all in her day care bag, all closed up. We just got the OXO Tot Straw Cup, so still testing it out. But another bee said it leaks too.
Seriously!! Why is this so hard to find a cup that doesn't leak???

We finally got rid of our playtex ones because they were bad too. Leaking from pressure just from sitting on the counter.

i was just wondering this. we have the oxo and it leaks a little as well. not sure exactly where the leaking is coming from. overall i still like it, but i was thinking of trying a different brand.
i just ordered these:

we'll see how they work! although i guess no cup leaks as much as my LO--who gulps down an ounce, then lets half of it dribble out of his mouth.

I bought one from target that I found with their seasonal Xmas stuff that has worked better than any thing else... And I think it was $3!

We have had great luck with these and now exclusively use them for milk:

Had Zoli for a long time, then think baby, now these.

We have a nuby straw sippy cup and it doesn't leak! I love it. Except I left it at a friends. Wah.

@edelweiss: Let me know if that works!
@Sparkler: We had a Santa one and it wasn't as easy for her, but I will try it again now that she has been drinking out of one longer.

@.twist.: THIS!
The Nuby No-Spill ones are the best, hands down. I don't think I've ever had one leak. Plus, they're super cheap and have a good shape for little hands to hold.

We've had the best luck with Nuby straw cups and the Munchkin seasonal cups from target. They sometimes still leak, but they're much better than others we tried.

Our Nuby ones don't leak a bit! And they were pretty cheap!

@.twist.: @loveisstrange: @Weagle: @travellingbee: Just ordered!!
Who has spent a fortune on sippy and straw cups? me!

totally agree with @winniebee
After going through a zoli and a bunh of others the munchkin ones have worked the best for us

@Smurfette: we have a munchkin brand one that doesn't leak from target. It's got a flip straw. It's the 2.00 one!
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@loveisstrange: The straws on these don't go down. Have to tried the ones that do. I would prefer one that does sine it goes in the fridge at day care. Have you tried those?
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@yellowbird: I like $2. Added to my Target list for this weekend.
honeydew / 7303 posts
@Smurfette: they usually have them in a bin down on the bottom shelf!

@Smurfette: I like the $2 Target Munchkin cups too! Plus, they're so cute. This kitty is my favorite (http://tinyurl.com/mos2jkp). The straw doesn't go down, but I make her a cup in the morning and leave it in the fridge for her to use all day (the straw isn't open, there's a valve).

I used to have the Zoli too, but switched to OXO after the Zoli kept leaking/spraying everywhere. I have 3 of these and haven't had any issues with any of them: http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Tot-Straw-Aqua-Ounce/dp/B005XTKIBO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1389921076&sr=8-3&keywords=oxo+sippy+cup

do you mean leak if dropped? or in the diaper bag? or?
we have some of the munchkin ones from target (characters or whatever) and they seem good. one from disney store that I like, and a playtex one that the straw folds in.

@sweet_p: We have this one and she turned it over tonight and it came out of the top.
Maybe I am doing something wrong. Urg! She doesn't get a regular sippy cup.

I am thirding the Tommee Tippee ones. Of the 5 types we have tried, those have been the only ones to not leak.
GOLD / pomelo / 5737 posts
@Smurfette: honestly we have had the most luck with take n toss!! Not for the car though! Dd looooved zolis for awhile and we didn't honestly have a ton of leaks in them. We used them mostly to bring juice on outings. Only had problems if they were left out to heat up and mostly only with milk for some reason. The take n toss kids have actually stayed on despite dd dropping or tipping them and nothing comes back up the straw.. They have been awesome.
GOLD / pomelo / 5737 posts
@sweet_p: must have been the ONE I tried but it leaked like crazy if tipped on its side at all.. I figured d was just too young. I still have two more brand new ones.

@loveisstrange: Yup! I second the Nuby ones. They're dirt cheap at Wal-Mart. It's the only one that hasn't leaked for us.

@Smurfette: @googly-eyes: I noticed sometimes it will leak slightly if the straw isn't perfectly aligned when it's put back in after washing. Other than that, I haven't had any issues with the cups but maybe I got lucky?! 
GOLD / pomegranate / 3688 posts
@Smurfette: You know my issues already, but for the benefit of everyone else... the Lansinoh orb-shaped cups are still leak-free for me! The OXO are my second favorite because they only leak if DD spits some milk back into the straw reservoir - they don't seem to leak just from sitting alone (like the Zoli!). Oh, how I hate the Zoli.

@winniebee: I have one of these but is it worth taking all of the pieces apart and putting them all back together every time?

@septca: Zoli is so wonderful...until it is the cup from hell. I cursed mine on a daily basis.
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
@Tidybee: we use it for milk only he has munchkin might grips for water. I should have mentioned that's a good cup too! But I like the fact that the character one is insulated and stays cool longer. We use the same milk cup all day so I only wash it once!
grapefruit / 4731 posts
@loveisstrange: I second the the Nuby No-Spill ones. It's actually so good that we remove the straw part sometimes for naps and it doesn't spill.

@Smurfette: I use the nubby one where the straw does flip down and it doesn't leak. They are also in the bottom bins at my target.

@tidybee and @septa: I have to chime in-- the only good thing I can say about the Zoli is that is taught my son the word 'leakin'. Mommy- its leakin'!
So annoying and now we have milk stains everywhere!

We have been using the SkipHop zoo ones and they aren't leaky unless LO turns it completely upside down. Is that what you mean?
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@sunny: They all leak from the top. But she also likes to hold it over the edge of the high chair tray and then ends up dropping it.

I've seriously tried every single cup on the market and they ALL LEAK. So frustrating

@Smurfette: Have you tried the bigger seasonal straw cups from Target? We had been using the small ones until this week. I got a few of the bigger ones, and the straw is different - it's closed on the top. So far, no leaks, even in the diaper bag. I think it's $3-4?
