*Baby Reviewer Diane puts the Tommee Tippee Truly Spill Proof Drink Cups to the ultimate test!*
I’m sure we’ve all tried spill proof cups… I’d buy a new cup with high hopes only to be let down time and time again. Every spill proof cup we’ve tried, and we’ve tried a lot, leaks. My kids always find a way. They are spill ninjas, and masters at their craft.
We were asked to review Tommee Tippee’s Truly Spill Proof Cup, I thought sure… how long till we can make it leak?
Now because of our previous leak issues, drinks in our house are only allowed in the kitchen – makes for a much easier clean up. But that wasn’t going to make for a very good test was it? Instead, I gave each of the kids a cup full of water and told them they could take it where ever they wanted. They looked at me like I had lost it… and were a little unsure if I was joking or not!
So off they went… the first day they were so good with the cups… always upright, on the table, ect. The second day not so much… and the third day…. well here are some of the places I found the cups:
In the train bin.
Stuffed in the couch.
My daughter (who was not feeling well at the time) also laid one on her bed beside her pillow.
NOT A DROP was spilled. I thought for sure when I pulled the one out of the couch that I would find a puddle there – nothing. I thought, okay… impressive…. but what about the shake test? Nothing ever beats the shake test. And my 2 year old LOVES to shake his sippy cup until there are small drops of water all over the house – or on occasion in a concentrated spot where he can make a little puddle to splash in.
I’m suprised and impressed to say that not so much as a drop came out. The kids each tried to make it leak. They did everything… even rolled it down the stairs. My daughter was sure she could make it leak – but wanted to do it outside so it wouldn’t make a mess (in her experience sippy cups always leak). In this picture she was shaking as hard as she could, she insisted she could make a least 1 drop come out. She eventually gave up and took a drink!
So I had one last test…. I filled one up, left the straw open and shook it.
As you can see, we tried almost everthing to make these cups leak. But to no avail… not a drop came out. I especially love them for in the van – I hate wet/stained seats! And with these I don’t care if they fall because I know I won’t have a mess to clean up. I’m really impressed by these and would only buy/recommend Tommee Tippee Sippy Cups from here on out. WELL WORTH IT!
The most spills are actually made by the cat knocking glasses/mugs etc off tables when we leave them unattended so we have been trying to increase our spill-proof drink containers in the house so even if she knocks them over it won’t go all over the place. These would be great for when our niece & nephew visit.
haha! sounds like you all could use a cup!
my 3 yr old!
my 3 yr old makes tons of spills everywhere in the house! Shes so busy she forgets to slow down while drinking lol
Three year old Sophie spills everything. If she has a drink its pretty much guaranteed that at least half of it will be spiller
I have to try them. My son is the mess master
My grandson is the spiller at my house!
My daughter whose 2 makes the most spills!!
I have 2 grandkids that are talented spillers lol

Sadly our oldest.
My two year old daughter or my hubby hahaha

Matthew made the most spills in my house.
Actually, the dog makes the most spills. I don’ know what he does, but there is always food on the floor and water splashed out of his bowl.
My cousin she is on a spilling spell.
My 2 year old son is definitely the biggest mess maker! Though I have to admit the 10 and 12 year old give him a run for his money!
Believe it or not.. the 16 year old, this would be great for her!! lol
I think it would be a toss up between my 4 year old son and our dog. Our son doesn’t always look where he’s putting his elbows or other limbs lol and our dog will wack stuff off low surfaces with her tail 😛
In the house it is my daughter. Outside of the house though, it is my husband — never fails to spill a drink in the car, or on the stroller!
My not quite 2 year old son. Just this morning he spilled milk all over the living room.
My almost 1 year old spills his 2 year old brothers things ALL THE TIME ugh messy boys lol
My daughter when she was smaller, but I think hubby is King of the Spillers.

My almost 3 year old, but his almost 8 month old sister is getting there too!
my husband but I dont think he’ll take to drinking out of a sippy cup lol. I want it for when my nieces come to visit I find juice drops everywhere on my floors when they are here
That would probably be my husband!
Our 3.5 yr old makes a lot of spills – but she is followed closely by the 12 month old and her messy father too!

My grandchildren are the messy little spillers. They get so excited that glasses are often tipped at the table. I have one sippy cup but if they all visit the youngest gets it and the rest get plastic tupperware cups so there are often spills.
