- Switching from bottles to sippy cups is a milestone. But for all the effort you put into selecting a bottle (if you even used one...) now you have to find a sippy that works, is durable, is easy to use and clean, and will withstand the physics-defying force of your toddler. Welcome to Mom Reviews. The laziest series title ever but probably the most important videos this channel will ever make. This is episode one of Sippy Cups!
If this episode proved to you which sippy you want to purchase, click the link in the lower left corner of the video to purchase. I may earn commission from that. So that's kinda neat. Thanks for your support!

Do I have kids? No. Am I watching this entire video? Absolutely. And enjoying every minute of it. ❤❤❤❤❤
Me too. I don't get it, but here I am.
Same😂

I hear you! I have teenagers but I still wanted to watch! 😂
Same!!!😂😂
As a young gentleman in his 20s with zero children, and a bunch of masters academic work to get done, I am not sure why I am here, but I am loving it.
this. this wins.
Welcome aboard😂
I mean, that sounds like a lot of serious academic work and you should take regular breaks to survive. Gwenna ranges from soothing to hilarious, so enjoy the random, comfort content lol
Literally bro
Hope your academic work went (and is going) well!!
Your throw test was fairly accurate. It took 5 grown adults to hold down my 3 year old when she needed 3 stitches in her chin. 5!
I know how you feel my then just turned 3 yr old needed a xray on him foot we put the lead vest on him I was bear hugging him with my arm and legs we still had to get a second man to pin his leg and foot unplaced, and they had to give up because we couldn't hold him still
as a toddler teacher of kids at the prime age for the unspoken “let’s all gang up on our teachers and make the classroom a slip and slide,” this is something i need all the parents to see. the number of parents who bring in child sized stanley cups for their BARELY 1 YEAR OLD never fails to astound me. thank you for this masterpiece of a video ❤
STANLY CUPS HAVE LEAD IN THEM!
The part about toddlers doing things with surprising force... My kid broke my husband's hand by slamming it in a door 😂
Mine dislocated my jaw with his head
Oy
Mine broke my nose and left a flattened patch by slamming his head back into it when he was trying to wake me up one morning.
@@lms1068i broke my grandmas nose twice in 1 year and broke my uncles finger 😅 i was the first grand kid and my grandma jokes that its her fault and she should have learned after the first broken nose and my uncle accidentally tossed me into a ceiling fan twice so he says breaking his finger was pay back
My youngest of 3 knocked one of my teeth out of place in a canadian tire...
I wish I’d had your disclaimers when my daughter was little. The “if you don’t know how long it’s been, walk away”. A mistake I made. Yeah. It sucked.
I do a similar thing with plastic containers.
We used nubys for my grandson and let me tell you they leaked! He would only use one and if you bought the exact same one he would know the difference and not use it. My couch and carpet had chocolate milk stains all over it! ( don’t judge the chocolate milk thing) I am soooooo glad he’s 7 now and we no longer have to worry about those darn sippys. Thank you for doing this I for one appreciated all the effort you did testing these out you were thorough and I’m sure it will help those at the sippy stage. Much love and many blessings everyone
Like the dickens!!
Yes! What makes nubby so great is that they are cheaper than dirt and they are easy to switch to. At least my kids seemed to think so. When they get lost and gross, you just toss it. Not the end of the world. My kids were drink hoarders. They wanted both milk and water or juice at all times. They liked their options i guess. 😂❤
There is one more thing to consider, the frustration factor, will your toddler need the suction of a hoover to score a drink. We bought several cups that we had to purposely damage the anti-leak vent before even an adult could get a drink from them! Also if you are unfortunate enough to live in a sick building I suggest skipping sippies and getting stainless steal tumblers, every plastic or silicone cup eventually started souring milk in under an hour. Yes we are trying to move, but shits expensive and badly housed beats unhoused.
I am with you on the last sentiment.
I know me saying this won't change anything, but I hope your housing situation gets better soon. And you're doing your best, that's what's important.
@@lindseyherbst9444 thank you. We are getting our floor fixed this week! I don't know if it will help with the sick factor but it can't hurt. The landlord had a near death experience while wintering in Florida and seems to be suffering altruism at the moment, he's doing nice things for other residents as well, don't know how long it will last, but fixed floor is good ....
My ‘kids’ are over 30 yo and my granddaughter is years past toddler stage. Yet here I am. I LOVE your posts, and I wish I’d have a real person doing tests for these back in the years it was personally important to my life.
I am 66 yrs old. I watched kids as a teen. Raised 3 kids. Worked in day care & taught preschool. Quit that to help raise my 4 grandkids. So I know kids! Your videos are awesome! You say the things I felt for the last 50+ years! ☮️
I've seen all of those get broken by cousins, nieces, nephews and friends children. I went with cheap brands for my kids because of that. I already knew that no sippy cup is indestructible therefore I wasn't paying a mint for something we only used for travel, Drs offices and such. I opted to just give them drinks from regular glasses the rest of the time, yes I held the cup/glass till they had good enough control to drink on their own without spillage being a definite. That worked well for my family but I know people who tried doing it our way and it just didn't work for their families. That's ok. Not every method works for everyone so just try stuff till you find the best fit for your family. Love this channel & your content!
That’s what my parents did with me. I also wasn’t allowed to lug the sippy cup around when we were somewhere, I had to sit down, drink and give the cup back. I’m a bit confused by all this. 😂
@@glockenrein most of the people I know either didn't have the time or patience involved to do this or they just weren't in a family dynamic in which the kids would stand/sit still while drinking. Others had kids who took longer to gain the eye hand coordination to allow them to drink solo. I also know several who's children were just so used to holding their bottle and turning it upside down that they refused to drink any other way so the parents had to go with sippies until there kids were willing to learn regular cup use cause they didn't want to deal with the tantrums their kids had. I started mine taking sips from my drinks by the time they were 6 months old so it was normal to them that a cup doesn't work like a bottle or sippy. They loved getting drinks from Mommy's cups/glasses and that just made the process easier for me and them. LOL! Since I don't drink backwash I lost a lot of drinks till they learned to drink without backwashing but I feel it was worth the loss of those drinks. More for them. 😂😂😂😂😂
@@brandygiovinazzi3460 that was probably a very smart strategy on your part - at least for your kids, not so much for your own hydration. 😂 And really every family needs to do what’s best for them, I just hadn’t realised the whole world of sippy cups was that complicated. I did thoroughly enjoy watching a grown woman lob sippy cups at her garden shed though. 😂😂
@@glockenrein I agree. I was able to stay hydrated to though. Just kept a water bottle close by to drink from when my little ones weren't looking. 😂😂😂😂
I have epilepsy & use sippycups at night, as I’ve been known to drop, spill & fall into whatever I have on my nightstand. 😅
Great idea💡
That just sounds smart.
Absolutely love this scientific approach. Kids are hard on things and to me this is very real. My grandson wanted to hold his upside down for pure fun so the leaking is important and just the drop 5 times during one meal can break some!
This clearly was a guise to vent some anger at sippy cups. 😂
Needed this 7 yrs ago but still watched the entire video. Well done review with great methodology.
Loved this. I'm a MOM (mother of many). I had one kid that could chew through ANYTHING! The tupperware sippy was the only one that would work for him. I've seen toddlers chuck their sippy cups like a baseball pitcher. But the absolute most important thing is . . . . can I get it clean!
The Pura sippys also turn into water bottles!
Every single top they sell fits every single bottle.
There are bottle nipples, sippys, large and small mouth water bottle tops and straw water bottle tops.
There are silicone sleves and bottoms for them.
They are insulated sainless steel.
I gave up on silicone lidded sippy cups. My kids chewed through them with in a week. We had to switch to hard top sippies. We ended up using Nuk.
I can totally see that. Kids are so different, for us those silicone topped ones were the only ones that didn't spill everywhere that my kid also likes. She's not a chewer though, I probably would have chewed them up when I was little too.
I had a Tommy Tipee when I was a kid and I'm 50 my kids had them and they are in their 30's my grandkids have them here. they've always been pretty reliable honestly.
My mom repurposed my tommy tippee as her travel coffee mug in about 1972. Worked great!
Am I stronger then a toddler . Theoretically 😂😂
I don't have kids, I don't want kids, I don't even know any toddlers and yet I watched this all the way through and want to see the next one. This is some solid content Gwenna!
We used the Munchkin 360s. They definitely wouldn't have passed the drop and throw tests, I know from experience, but they would have largely passed the shake test and because they don't have a spout, it took longer for the chewing to be a problem. The silicone lids wore out and so leaks became a bigger deal we had each cup. BUT. The action cup part, not the lid, held up super well, and my kids transitioned to an actually cup pretty well. Those cups just became our kids cups. Literally. My 7 and 5 year old drink out of their sippy cup cups, without the lids. They just look like normal, colorful cups. So having to buy new ones left us with a really nice supply if kids cups.
Fun video! I tried a sippy lid on a Tupperware bell cup with my first then ended up having her practice with just the cup in the bathtub. For my last two, I skipped the lid and took 'em straight to the tub. Away from home they drank from juice boxes and small water bottles.
I'm raising my grandson and sippie cups have changed A LOT since my 25yo was a baby. We've been through a lot and the Tommee Tippee is what we settled on. The 2yo did manage to shatter one when he threw it about 10 feet away from where he was sitting. If you push the inner part to the side, it pops out easier. Theyve held up well in the dishwasher too.
That knee pop right at the end was chef's kiss the "yeah i'm old deal with it" and that's coming from someone who's needs have been popping since my early 20's lol
I don't have kids, never will, but still watched for your sense of humour. You're the only person I know who can make sippy cups interesting!
My son is 18 Now, but we found one in my 09 camry in 2011. It was science and we tossed it. I am convinced it was in there behind his seat for 2 years. Loved this video
This was the most entertaining product review/comparison I have seen in a long time. Thank you for putting *you* on the internet!
Thank you Gwenna!! My son just turned 6 months so we're venturing into the world of solids, and this was actually super helpful!! Can't wait for episode 2!!!
"I can bite harder than a toddler. So that should make up for the fact I don't have razor blades sticking out of my gums. "😂
We use a tealight candle holder glass (Plain glass, very very well cleaned. Literally just glass) or a shot glass for babies/toddlers at meal times for cup-practice, and use a 360* style cup for them to use around the house outside of meal time. They are super easy to take apart and get into all the parts (No dish-washer). And still works well to teach cup skills. My youngest has has been using a bamboo cup/beaker thing since he was 2, sippy for travel. And ONLY water or water-based juice. 😱 😂
I hate sippy cups. 😂 Pregnant with #4 now after nearly 4 years gap between them and my youngest (My older 3 kids have 18 months between each of them) and I am DREADING going back to this stage!!
Wifey and I were debating sippy cups and this was incredibly helpful! A massive podcast fan as well. Thank you for teaching these two Gen Z'ers who got boomer parenting a better way to do things.
Not coming for you cause I am certainly not Mrs. Cleanly, but Wet & Forget Shower does wonders even on those old tub stains without even having to scrub. It has been a game changer for me and my dingy shower stall.
I wish it were just stains. Mostly that's enamel coming off the 35 year old tub. But I might try that product on my other tub. Thanks!
I don’t have kids. I’m absolutely living for this. I’m also jealous that I’m not creating this video, it looks SO FUN. I haven’t seen you on my newsfeed for a while so came to your page and as usual, you did not disappoint❤🤣
I bought a Nalgene sippy cup/bottle for my toddler. Once he moved on to regular water bottles, I bought a standard Nalgene lid to replace the sippy style lid, and he continued to use it. Fast forward…he is now 15 yrs old and still takes the cup/bottle to school daily. Recently the plastic strap that holds the lid onto the bottle gave out. He has a 3D printer and modelled a new strap to replace it for the coming school year. That bottle still has little dolphins painted on the outside. Nalgene bottles are incredibly durable. Easy to clean…would recommend!
I'm so glad to see many many ppl like me that don't have kids and enjoy everything you do!!!
I have used the Tommy tippy and I found it the best and I have used all but the doc brown one.
I NEEDED THIS THANK YOU. First time mom of a 10 month old who's transitioning right now 😂😂 the Nuby straw ones make me want to cry they spill so much 😂
Loved this video!!! Oldest of 4, you did tantrum throwing justice. My 2 sibs behind me threw and screamed. Number 4 chewed the top of most of them. Your examples were spot on 😂😂😂😂😂.
Tommee tippee has been our favorite for the last month or so. I have a toddler who throws and chews sippy cups to death so finding one that was toddler proof is worth a little extra effort cleaning it imo. The inserts do pop out easier after a few washes.
When I was a mother, now this goes back in early 2000's and we had Avent bottles and sippy, bottles that can turn into a sippy cup, although, my child would throw them as hard as you did and it would bounce. Sometimes I had to invest in a new one because it wouldn't keep it's seal anymore and it would last a lifetime. Also, they had parts for it. So you can just replace the nipple without replacing the whole thing.
If you do another sippy cup test, I'd love to see how old school insulated Playtex cups hold up. They were my go to when my teens were toddlers!
That’s in an upcoming episode!
Will there be a "tournament of champions" round after you've tested all the sippy cups initially? I'm weirdly invested in this series!
12:56 "do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind."
If I had it all to do over again I would just use reusable coffee cups and request disposable ones when out and about at restaurants.
Am I the only one that swore by the old school heavy duty Playtex cups? I had to search everywhere to get them for my grandkids for my house because I am stubborn and refused to give to the new crap 😂
The Munchkin was our sippy of choice when our kids were toddlers. You're right when you said that getting the lid back together would probably get easier the more you do it. I used to put the silicon bit through the hole in the top and then grip the straw part with my teeth to get it in there. 😂
Tommee Tippee has been around for EVER! My two eldest nieces used a Tommee Tippee cup and it was the same one! You showed many different ways to destroy the cups. You don't need science just common sense and some knowledge of toddlers. You did a great and informative job. Also, I laughed my butt off! Love your channel, thanks for the info and the fun!!!
I just use the $1 Parents Choice cups from Walmart. They get lost too easily to justify buying more expensive cups. My granddaughter goes back and forth between us, her mom's, and her dads so she's in 3 primary vehicles and 3 different homes. The $1 Walmart cups don't leak unless you really try hard to make it leak. They are also easier to clean than any of the more expensive cups we've tried. I'm actually very impressed with the quality, durability, and leak proofness of these super cheap cups! 🙂🙂🙂
Edit: Now that I've seen the whole video, I'll add a couple details. The cheap cups I use have 3 pieces. The plastic lid is one piece and because it's hard plastic, the chew test would have been won by this cup by a landslide had it been tested. So you have the cup, the lid, and the silicone insert, which is installed on the bottom of the lid, inside the cup, which protects it from chewing. Cleaning everything is easy enough and I dry it mostly with a towel but then use Q-tips to get the tight spaces. Very easy.
We are a Tommy Tippy house. The silicone part of the spout definitely chews off. And the seal is great until the inner valve pops loose from being tossed 80 billion times. The valve does loosen and pushing sideways on the sticky outy part gets it off easier for washing.
That said, we have 8 Tommys.
YOU, you are just about a genius! So very entertaining, and so very clever. Thank you for your video.
I'm coming from a daycare background. Sippy cups are meant to be a transitional learning cup, not a bigger bottle. My ideal cup was a super simple Tupperware style cup. Yes they leak alot, and can come apart when thrown. But I only gave them in specific locations. If you want a drink, we're sitting down, not wandering around the house.
I’m coming from a parenting background and I carry my cup around. I’m far better hydrated now as a result. I’m okay with water being full access. Drink when you want. As a result I do need sippies that don’t suck. (Granted my kids are now past this stage but I’ll still defend this hill.)
We used the munchkin ones for my granddaughter they worked great no straw or nipple its like drinking from a regular cup. It was throw proff to and easy to clean
My brother and I basically weren't allowed to have anything but water outside the kitchen/dining area for most of our childhood. After seeing this video, it seems like a sensible rule. Worked for our family, anyway.
One more test... CLEANING!!!! Those tips can tear apart when cleaning w the special tools to clean em, and some spots you just can never really get into to clean...
I just imagine your neighbours driving past like:
'Hey Gwenna, whatcha doing?'
'Throwing sips cups at my shed'
'............alright catcha later!'
Lol man, if only this video had come out back when I was getting my son his first sippy cups, or even before he finished with sippy cups for the most part and moved onto water bottles and open cups 😂 would’ve saved me a LOT of money and (surprisingly intense) rage lol
we never got to open cups. My kids are 24. Everybody (me included) still gets tops on their cups, even at the table. (Yeti now, we are fancy but still big kid sippy cups)
14:13 F that cup had me dying 🤣
I'm thinking of having 1 or 2 once I get out of school. This info is so important for me and now I know what to get my nephew who will be going to sippys soon
As a mom of toddlers, I can say the tommy tippee is great until your toddler slams in on the table or floor and the valve falls out. We love tommee tippee straw cups so...
Wow cups are a dream. Drip free, multiple sizes, super easy to clean. Ours lasted for years, until a house move and it vanished.
My three year old skinny and scrawny brother punched his tablet and left a mark like he broke it like it snapped in half and I’m just crying of laughter when I walked into the room because I originally came in there to tell my biggest brother he’s not older than me, but still told him to stop jumping off of his dresserlike 1 AM at this time I take a picture of that and send it to my mom and I’m dying of laughter and she’s like I’m scared. This child knows where I sleep at night.
While I don't have kids, and probably never will... This gives me The Shopping Bags vibes, and as I horribly miss that show...
* settles in with popcorn *
Hey I wanted to mention a tip I use for laundry for whenever I've forgotten about it for a while and it starts to smell like mildew. I put it on for another wash with a 1/2 cup of white vinegar in it (or less if it's not a full load) instead of another bit of detergent. It helps your clothes and prevents more detergent layering your clothes and removes the mildew smell and still brings out clean clothes. Hope this helps and love your content. Sorry this is a little random it came into my head right now that I forgot to mention it months ago.
I miss the old school Tupperware ones.
They had them last time I looked
Used the Nuby Premiere the most when I had toddlers. It was the taking it apart easily to wash. I think we had a munchkin too? I can't remember - it was a while ago, youngest is 9 now.
Wow, if the tommee could damage your head imagine one toddler throwing it at another. Ouch. Plus for me, with migraine, would not want to risk having to hear that sucker hit the floor.
So, my kids are so old that I now have grandkids. Am I still going to watch this video? Absolutely!
I absolutely admire you Mama… I love your videos… as a 54 yr grandma 😂😂😂 you crack me up and wish you were around in my era to lend advice😂😂😂❤
Yess! Love a real mom review! How many parts am i responsible for. Not losing 😂😂😂😂
Btw my kids skipped sippys, we used the miracle cups (munchkin), even easier to clean and sturdy
Definitely need a part 2 of this!
I have no reason to watch this video other than the fact I love watching Mama Cusses and everything she does
Always great stuff, love your videos!
We used the Nuby sippys when we started the transition to sippy cups. We eventually moved on to the Nuk 360 cups and now “spill proof” straw cups. Honestly they all leak a little when our daughter throws them 🤷🏻♀️
You saying not to comment on the tub 😂😂😂Same. Life can’t be perfect
We never really used those sippy cups, we had those "magic cups". Those are very easy to clean and quite durable. They did not leak much and what's perfect: dish washer proof.
Also: kids learn easier to drink from real cups that way as it's quite similar.
This is so fun! I would absolutely take this as a day job.
Love the video. I would've loved if you hit on cleaning a bit more in detail. So not just ease of breakdown and reassembly but also additional items you would need to purchase to completly clean those parts. Like straw cleaners. I got a set from munchkin for the different areas of the cup that would need to be cleaned. Especially if you don't rinse the cup right after they finish using it
Yep. I’ll cover that with the straw cups.
@@pleasantpeasantmedia Awesomsauce! You and @Tori.Phantom are amazing both together and individually. I live thus community you both are developing with intentional (gentle) parenting
My granddaughter loses them all the time but is heartbroken when she can’t find them 😂😂
My first traditional cup is the Nuk soft nipple cups.
The the munchkins straw cup the the munchkins 360 cups. This has worked for all 3 of mine.
When my kids were little they used Tommie tippie only loved it. Used it on all my day care kids too
"You need to be taller" story of my life.... I'm short.
Thank you!!! I have a newly almost toddler and was always fearful of a cup breaking. Now I know which I’d get personally.
My daughter would immediately throw her empty sippies. There weren't a lot of choices back then, so she had the Playtex sippy with a hard cup and lid. My brother in law found out about her habit when she pegged him in the back of the head from the third row seat while he was driving. She drew blood. The cup was fine
My child always struggles with sippy cups cause of tongue tie so we started on straw cups pretty early. This is still very interesting and fun to watch. Might come in handy if I end up having a second baby down the road or sharing it with a mom who has toddlers or is expecting 🤗
We use the fancy Nuby and a couple you didn't review, the munchkin 360, munchkin weighted straw cup, and first years training cup. All leak under different circumstances. It feels impossible to get them really clean, with the little vents and spouts and rims that no brush fit into.
Is it scientific? No. Is it informative? Absolutely! Do I have grandkids? No!
Was this fun to watch? Heck yes! Momma Cusses for the win! 🏆
We used mostly munchkins brand sippy cups when our children were toddlers. As soon as we could switch them to water bottles, we fell in love with the Yeti kids water bottles. We bought two for each kid, and they are at least 3 years old with very few signs of wear, even though our kids are ROUGH with those water bottles.
I have a Tommy Tippy that I bought my youngest son in 1997. I of course saved it for no particular reason. When my grandkids started arriving, I pulled out my sippy cups. The one that worked the best was the good old Tommy Tippy. My grandson went through a phase where he only wanted that old cup. We had a basket for small parts in our dishwasher and we managed to hang on to all of the pieces.
Am I a parent? Yes if stuffies count. Am I still watching this? Yes. Yes and you can’t stop me.
So funny cuz I have been using those Munchkin ones for my toddler from the beginning, and just recently added the tommee tippee for water to take to bed because it doesn't leak at all lol.
❤ 1:00 ❤ My kids are grown, but yet, YES. ..... I am here, watching.
I didn’t even see the test and had to say that tommy tippy cup pisses me off so bad. I have a toddler right now and I’ve bought so many cups to get her to leave it alone and she won’t. But that thing leaks so freaking bad through the vent, she’s chewed the spout to hell, and every time I put milk in it the milk spoils so fast. I hate it so much. Ok I’m done with my rant now 😂
I have my own kids now, but in my early twenties, I nannied twins for 3 years. Their moms made the classic mistake of opening an old mystery sippy they found in their van. They asked if I could clean it... I had to tell them that the black gunk was likely black mold, and that I would have to soak it in bleach. They threw it out. Yup. Just throw it out.
Imagine Abby looks out her window and she just sees her mom like throwing sippy cups at a wall 😂😂
She'd probably either shrug and think "there goes mom again..." or go join her.
It has taken me so long to find a sippy cup for my son lol. Dude can spill anything but won’t drink out of just any cup. 😂😂 at least I’m prepared for my daughter to reach this milestone.
My youngest is 20 years old, but you're so fun, I'm watching anyway.
2:29 Dear Gd, don't sniff it!
"It's my rating system. Shut up!" 😂
Well done!
I used the Nuby brand for both my sons, they're 22 and 17. So they were much less expensive then, i paid $1 a piece then, so if they chucked it across a store aisle it wasn't a huge investment lost.
I loved the Playtex "Coolster" cups for my older three. And totally went cheap for the younger two with the Nuby and munchkin cups. Also not going to lie, the character top juice cups... totally win win. I washed and used them. Then didn't feel bad about tossing them.
Thankfully my kids are old enough to use regular cups and water bottles. Now there's another idea... same science test but for the big "adult" bottles. My 12 year old broke a camelbak and didn't know how.
Me and my siblings loved sippies! I do remember them being really hard to clean though...
