How many sippy cups and how many different styles/brands do you have?
Right now we have:
4 Tommee Tippee Trainers with handles
4 Playtex insulated with straw (these leak)
1 cheap playtex insulated (also leaks)
1 camelback water bottle
We are trying to get rid of the bottle but she doesn't love any of these for more than a sip or two. Plus they leak.
I think we have more than we need but should I buy more variety?

Waaaay too many. Daycare requires separate cups so I bought 2 more Think Baby cups the other day after it looked like LO liked it...but now she only drinks formula out of a Zoli. Babies are fickle!

Wow, you have lots!!
We have:
1 Avent sippy cup
1 Nuby sippy cup
1 Munchkin sippy
1 Munchkin straw cup
1 stainless steel sippy water bottle
4 cheap sippy cups from the dollar store that we use for smoothies
All of them get used regularly except the straw cup.

We have three but I haven't started using them yet. I'm going to ask the pediatrician about them next week at our 6 month appointment.

we have 3 right now but LO doesn't really know how to drink out of them (he's juts learning). we have the playtex ones with side handles (came in a 2 pack) and then a zoli bot, which I haven't tried yet.

LO is only 7 months, so we're not really in the sippy cup phase yet. I just bought several for her to try.

She does best with the Take and Toss and Nuby.

One, we have a zoli straw cup and she likes it so I'm not messing with adding anything else into the mix.

We have 5 (was 6 but LO threw one and it cracked).
3 Munchkin
2 Nuby
I don't like the Nuby ones at all. The nipple piece gets sucked in when the cup gets turned upside down and it's also not secured very well. Two of our Munchkin cups have the click-lock lids and those nipples are very secure. Oh, and one of them has handles. The third Munchkin has a normal lid/nipple but it seems pretty secure.
I prefer the Munchkin cups. If we had more cups, I would get rid of the Nuby ones. They are the worst!

@Sammyfab: I should add part of the reason we have a few is we need to bring 3 to daycare every day and we don't do dishes every night. So we NEED at least 6.

@Sweet T: funny...the Nuby is our favourite! Our nipple doesn't ever get stuck though, but if it did that would drive me nuts!
@Thehistoryofus: gotcha :). I was actually surprised how many we had too when I started listing them off!

I bought a bunch when L turned 6 months old: Zoli straw cup, a few cheap Playtex cups, about 6 Tommee Tippee cups. She doesn't like any of them and prefers to drink out of an actual cup.

@Sammyfab: The Nuby cups we have are kind of like this: http://nuby.com/en/nuby/cups-spouts/9686/
I don't know what the deal is but I can't stand them & they leak everywhere!

@Sweet T: We have the one that mrsbells posted above. I highly recommend it! We like our click-lock munchkin cup too :).

This is the style of Tommee Tippee ones we have. The spout is hard but kinda rubbery so its good for teething. The value comes apart and is really easy to clean (we put ours in the dishwasher and never have an issue). They don't leak really at all. But you do have to suck pretty hard to get it to come out (she could do it by around 10 months). But she just doesn't love these.

These are the style of Playtex Insulated straw cups. Again, the straw part comes apart so its pretty easy to clean (again, just in the dishwasher). Again, you have to suck pretty hard to get liquid to come up, but she can do it and actually likes these. She will probably drink the most milk out of these cups.
However, as you can see from the image they leak. Bad. Just from sitting on the counter, pressure builds or something and this happens all the time.

This is the camel back one we have. We bought her one because she constantly stole my moms and she loves to drink water out of it. Its not a real sippy cup though so its not leak proof. It is a bit harder to clean, because liquid sits in the green spout part. Great for trips to the park, no help for getting rid of the bottle.

@Thehistoryofus: I absolutely love the camelback. We have there purple one. I want to go exclusively to those but it's so expensive. Mine never leaks and I have the grown up version.
