We have been using Playtex sippies for about four years now, for two children and they are by and large the best of all that we've tried.

There are other attractive models out there, but they tip over easily (what marketing genius thought a narrower at the bottom than at the top design was a good idea!) and don't last. The plastic that they are made out of is hard and it eventually cracks-- dropped or from dishwasher wear.

The Playtex models (either insulated or not) stay upright (most of the time LOL) and are easily cleaned by hand or in a dishwasher.

(Hand tested on vacation and at nana's.)

The only thing that we have done to maintain them is to replace the valve thingies as they will start to age after a year or so and leak despite what other reviewers have said. These replacement valves are cheap though and no problem to find.

As to insulation, they insulate to a limited extent but don't expect to have your milk stay good for more than an hour or so in a hot environment. (Tested in Florida, Texas, and Virginia.)

Five Stars. The best that we have used and we have tested just about everything on the market.

Very good quality cups, don't spill even if kept upside-down. The lid or the spill-proof thing inside, never come off even if the cup is dropped from the dining table, which my son does once in a while! Easy to clean as the shape is regular (without unnecessary curves, etc.)

I have tried other brands and this one is by far the best, the spill-proof mechanism is superior to the others.

Good buy, I'd definitely recommend it.

My daughter loves these cups. They stay pretty cold and we live in Arizona. I have purchased other cups that leak a lot. So far no problems.

Playtex sippy cups are BY FAR the BEST sippy cups! I have used others by Gerber and Avent- which both leaked! Playtex will never leave you scrubbing milk/juice stains out of your carpet- or your kids' clothes!

The insulated cup keeps fluids fresher longer, which makes this the HEALTHIEST cup delivering optimum nutrients and nutrition for your child! This feature is particularly nice if your child sips a little here and a little there- esp. MILK which spoils quickly.

I have bought this cup over and over again- not because it has worn out, but because I want several for our home, grandparents' home, diaper bag, etc.

VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PRODUCT!

...on any other cups! These are wonderful. I wished I had tried these before Gerber ones, which leaked and are not vented so when my baby sipped, bubbles built up inside the cups. Not with these vented truly spill-proof Playtex. The various designs are very cute and insides are easy to clean. Target has some on sale now, a few dollars cheaper than TRU/BRS. Love these cups so much we have 6!

We have tried about every cup on the market and these Playtex cups are by far the best. They truly are spill-proof (trust me, they are tested on a daily basis at our house!) and easy to clean without a lot of complicated pieces. Replacement valves are easy to find and inexpensive too. The cups hold up wonderfully in the dishwasher and can take all a toddler can dish out. We have never had one break or crack in 8 years. My kids all have an easy time getting liquid out of the cups and I love the new designs...very cute! These are the only cups I will ever buy. Save yourself time and money and stick with these tried and true cups, you will not be disappointed.

Moms, out of all the brands out there this is the BEST sippy cup there is. The most important is that it doesn't leak when it tips over or is laying on the side. You would literally have to shake it really hard for milk or juice to come out of the spout.

I wish someone would have told me earlier. I could have saved losts of money from all the other ones i bought.

Through trial an error I had to find the right sippy cup and I can say from experience this brand and type is by far the best. Used correctly with the vents in place, it does not leak, it does not spill, the top stays on securely when it is dropped or thrown, and it is easy to clean with a bottle and nipple brush. Even if my child went to bed with it accidentally, it never leaked. Never! The insulation does a great job of keeping items cool too. Best used with juices and water but it still cleans easily if milk is served in it too, with a little more effort.They are sturdy enough for the dishwasher also, which is more than I can say for some.

These are the best cups on the market. I have tried other brands in the same price range only to have to throw them away within two months. These hold up nicely even after many cycles in the dishwasher and lots of falls!

In the description of this product, the "target gender" is listed as male...so I ordered them. But I received sippy cups that are pink with flowers and butterflies. It could be that this design got sent to me by mistake, but based on other reviews of playtex sippy cups it seems that this is a problem they have not worked out for ordering online. I wouldn't recommend you order sippy cups online unless you could use cups for either gender because you don't know what you're going to get and they're not worth trying to return...better to buy them from the store. Playtex does make a great sippy cup though.
