this question has been asked 50 million x. But, I need a straw cup for *milk* that will not leak. I want to wait a bit for the FOOGO since she still throws her cups. Which is why take n toss doesn't work for independent use or out of the house.
Zoli leaks like a b!tch. Think Baby does OK, but the current one we have leaks like crazy on the rim and DH hates it.
So...yeah.

Our thermos foogo straw cup hasn't leaked yet (unless I don't put it back together tightly enough). But it's sort of a pain to clean, and I admit it hasn't been thrown that much.

this probably isn't particularly helpful since i've mostly had the same problem... but i discovered, though lots of trial and error, that if you screw the lid on the zoli cup just right it doesn't leak. the way i check is to pull on the lid in a side to side motion once it is on, if it gives it is on wrong and will leak. if it doesn't rock you are good. i realize typing this that this is such a stupid thing to have to do... i have a cup thrower too.

@Foodnerd81: yeah, my older uses the FOOGO and it's amaze balls and I don't mind the parts. But it's still a bit too heavy for my (almost) 14m old and she throws cups still. At every meal. Sigh.
@CakeLady: haha yes, I had to do that with the Zoli too! Two problems. My younger threw the Zoli SO much she cracked the lid. And, I know from experience it leaks from the straw a TON when we used it with milk. So, I'm definitely not buying another Zoli for milk usage.

@FaithFertility: which specific one, and with milk?

I got this rec from another bee, and it's the only one out of a LOT that doesn't leak. Even the foogo leaks on us.

@regberadaisy: yes the vital cup doesn't leak for milk. We can get away with using the foogo for water but it sometimes leaks with milk.

@raintreebee: hm. This one looks promising and it's pretty inexpensive.

@raintreebee: yes, vital baby was the clear winner for us too! We tried a lot and it was by far the best for milk

@raintreebee: @Charm54: do all pieces come completely apart for washing?
@littlebug: which one? I know one of them, a lot of reviews said mold issues because the twist top does not come off for washing.

@regberadaisy: yes they do...there are more pieces than the zoli, munchkin ,& oxo tot thAt we use for water, but it's worth it for a milk free diaper bag

@Charm54: haha we used Dr Brown bottles so I have no problems with parts. As long as the product works!

We use Tommee Tippee. I won't say it doesn't leak at all - a little does push up the straw at times - but it's been the all around favorite, especially because it's double insulated and keeps the milk colder longer and not a zillion parts. Our son throws his cups a lot too and I think the double insulation makes for a sturdier cup.

I like the playtex ones above though we only use them for water now. I also like the nuby ones. Never had a problem with them
