So far I've struck out with Nuby sippy cups, Munchkin sippy cups, Munchkin straw cups, and now DH hates the Oxo Tot straw cups. He says the liquid comes out too fast.
I would love to get C off bottles this month! Which cups do you love?

Zoli cups. They are leaky and hard to clean. But they are the best. The leak issues can be prevented if you are very careful in how you put the lid on. The straw cleaning issue are simply fixed by buying their special straw cleaner tool.
LO loves them.

Another vote for Zoli straw cups. We have two, and I guess I've been lucky because we haven't had any leaking issues. They have a weighted straw, so it's easier for them to get all of the liquid out!
We have the playtex straw cups too, but when he flips the cup over to chew on the bottom, milk or water goes everywhere.

zoli cups, nuby straw cups, foo go straw cups, and munchkin straw cups have all been great for us!
WHATEVER cup you use, I would make sure not to put it near your phone or anything precious in your diaper bag/purse--there can always be leaks and better safe than sorry--I lost an iphone that way!

We've tried the playtex and nuby straw cups and are on the hunt for our next ones. DH has come to hate the nuby ones recently as well (leakage).
We use the thermos fugo for outings.
DS has been increasingly drinking out of regular cups so I may just give up the battle at this point.

I answered on your other thread, but check out the Lansinoh Momma straw cups. They are very good and leak substantially less than all of the (many) other cups I have tried.
The biggest thing for us has been that milk is either in a sippy (and any sippy with do) or only in the high chair - that way I don't have to worry about leaks. We use the Momma cups or a Take and Toss straw cups for high chair milk drinking.
DD loves the Zoli and the BBox cups for water. And I don't really care if they leak a little because it's just water.

@Pepper: M loves her Playtex straw cup but only because she loves chewing on the handle. Her face lights up when I pull it out then she immediately flips it over....*sigh*
I really want to avoid introducing sippy cups at all and just do straw cups, so maybe I'll experiment with some of these.

Playtex straw cups, but it's the older version...I've only seen them at BRU recently. They never leak! We also use Munchkin ones but she doesn't really care for them.

@lawbee11: We never introduced a sippy and I am so happy for it. We went straight to straw cups.
I LOVE our b.box straw cups, but I don't feel like I can really get in there and clean "through" the straw, so I only use them for water. For milk I like the Oxo Tot straw cup. It can leak a bit, but my diaper bag came with an insulated bottle/cup sleeve, so I just keep it in there so I don't have to worry about it getting on anything.

We use Avent Straw cups for milk. When we started WCM she would only drink it from these.
We use the Munchkin flip top straw cups for water.
Take&Toss straw cups for smoothies.

@Smurfette: Awesome!!!
@littlebug: Hopefully she'll catch on soon. She's only 10 months old so we have time.

@oliviaoblivia: I bought the Munchkin straw cups for DS and omg. I even struggle with getting any liquids out of that thing!! Such a waste of $$.

@Alivoo01: They are tough. DD likes to chew on the straws when she's teething.

@oliviaoblivia: Avent bottles worked great for us, so I will have to try their straw cups!

We liked the Lansinoh Momma sippy and now the Lollacup is our fave straw cup.

@lawbee11: I started with a sippy but got so sick of her dropping it and it was too heavy, so I went straight to the straw.
We ended up using the playtex squeezy one (all the swarm sippy round ups recommended it). You can squeeze the water up to teach them the water will come out of the straw. Now that she has the hang of it she can use the munchkin one even though it's harder to suck out of. But I only use them for water.
For smoothies I use the munchkin one but with a regular straw that I can throw out. We don't do any kind of milk yet.

We used a zoli for a little while but in the end the cheap take-and-toss ones worked best.

@oliviaoblivia: DS chews on the straw too! And accumulates a ton of drool at the base of the straw/lid. Yuck. lol

We love/loved the avent sippy cup. We use toss an go straw cups. They come hard and soft spout and if they leak at all it's very little.

We use Gerber graduates spill proof cup and we LOVE it. Only $6 for a pack of two and they are perfect for us. Don't spill, easy to clean, cheap, etc.

LO is 7 months and we use a Zoli. She sips water...then spits it out again...but at least she "gets" the concept?

Zoli cup and the playtex lil' gripper cups. Found these to work the best, but all have issues with leaking. At home, we use take and toss.
