- 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!

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😂
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!
wow
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.
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...
This clearly was a guise to vent some anger at sippy cups. 😂
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 ....
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. 😂❤
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.
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. 😂😂😂😂
Am I stronger then a toddler . Theoretically 😂😂
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! ☮️
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
Needed this 7 yrs ago but still watched the entire video. Well done review with great methodology.
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!
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'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.
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 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.
"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. "😂
I'm so glad to see many many ppl like me that don't have kids and enjoy everything you do!!!
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!
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
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!!!
This was the most entertaining product review/comparison I have seen in a long time. Thank you for putting *you* on the internet!
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 😂😂😂😂😂.
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.
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 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😂😂😂❤
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. 😂
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!
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.
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.
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 😂
I have used the Tommy tippy and I found it the best and I have used all but the doc brown one.
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
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.
My son has the basic Nuby and I quite like it! 😂 The “position nubbins” are a little annoying but we have various cups (I buy and I buy and I buy trying to get him to drink milk out of a cup and not a bottle). This video is great. 😂
Will there be a "tournament of champions" round after you've tested all the sippy cups initially? I'm weirdly invested in this series!
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.
I feel like there should also be a disclaimer of "what your kid will actually use is the real test" lol. I tried the tommy tippee with the straw for my little man and he gave it a no. Our winner so far has been the first years soft straw cup. Cant wait to see you cover it!
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 😂
I love the green Tommee tippee sportee cup! Been going strong for a few months now. As long as the plastic and silicon piece are secure inside the lid it is good to go….through hell and back 😂
Omg girl I love your vids they make me so happy and how you just dont care what people think is amazing ❤
Loved this video. My son’s go-to was the munchkin, and I agree that it’s pretty standard and reliable for the most part! Incidentally, I got him a Nuby once and for some odd reason, he really hated it, so we never used it enough to see any leaking issues 😂
Also
ARE THOSE blue pants during the "throw test"
Those WONDERFUL extremely good priced with super deep pockets, Yoga pants from Costco?!?!
They look exactly like mine and mine are costco
This was very helpful! I would like to see more of this if possible ❤❤❤
I had no idea you made such good long form content
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
Lol, none of my favorite cups even made it to the testing phase.
Thank you for this! As a mom of a 1yo this is exactly what I needed
Thank you!!! I have a newly almost toddler and was always fearful of a cup breaking. Now I know which I’d get personally.
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.
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 🤗
This is so fun! I would absolutely take this as a day job.
I absolutely love this video! We use the Tommy trippy superstar, after going through about 4 others. We love the superstar, but it is a pain in the 🫏 to clean. The little straw cover does come off from time to time but other than that we think it’s a solid cup. I won’t lie, I am praying on its downfall so we can try a different one that maybe won’t be so hard to clean.
Wow cups are a dream. Drip free, multiple sizes, super easy to clean. Ours lasted for years, until a house move and it vanished.
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.
I love this! I hope to see you do a straw cup one my favorite is the dr browns weighted straw cup. What I learned from this video was I need to sell my nubys and buy a tommee tippee we used their bottles for so long should have stayed with them
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 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.
I love thenew format and vibes. !!!!
10 minutes of chewing each cup, that's dedication!😂😂 But seriously it really is
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.
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 🤷🏻♀️
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
Am I a parent? Yes if stuffies count. Am I still watching this? Yes. Yes and you can’t stop me.
I have no reason to watch this video other than the fact I love watching Mama Cusses and everything she does
Yes!! I've been needing this type of review. Why are there so many bad sippy cups???
My toddlers are 38 and 34 now I still wanted n needed to click ❤
Plus loving the L R tattoos n thinking i need those.
For taking apart the Tommie Tippie, the white plastic piece inside of the lid has a relatively longer curved piece that sticks down in to the cup. All you have to do is push that piece sideways and it pops right out :) the only problem with them, on my end, is that the white piece has small nooks and crannies that can be hard to properly clean. Otherwise they're fantastic!
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)
12:56 "do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind."
You're amazing! 😂 Thanks for just being you, Gwenna.
We have been through so many sippy cups. Without a doubt our best for our autistic child is the tommee tippee, but the best for our LO with down syndrome is a brand called "Hahaland". Literally no cons about it ! X
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.
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.
You saying not to comment on the tub 😂😂😂Same. Life can’t be perfect
I miss the old school Tupperware ones.
They had them last time I looked
Never thought I'd be so entertained by watching Gwenna throw cups in slow motion.
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.
we had had quite a few before I eventually landed on an Avent and that was great.
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.)
14:15 F that cup had me dying 🤣
Confirm, the Tommee Tippee hard bottle is my fav!!!
Nuby, no good.
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.
"You need to be taller" story of my life.... I'm short.
We used the munchkin. Can find them pretty much. They're pretty sturdy not too many parts and it was easy for my kids to grab.
my two year old loves his Tomee tippee.. :) getting the filter out is easier if you use your thumb to like flick it out on the long white bit :) he has 2 one for milk and one for clear liquids. it survived the dishwasher :) I Laughed soooo hard when you threw it at the shed and it made the hole lol I am glad my toddler hasn't worked out he can ditch his yet :) Love these videos. you make me smile and laugh :D
Just watched you totally annihilate that Nuby... yeah, I've had one of those completely break at the bottom because my daughter wrecked it by throwing it. This was not just a one-time thing; it is an actual problem with the Nuby. For that reason alone, we do not have Nuby bottles in our house anymore-- just cause she's too rough with her bottles. We do have a Munchkin and a Parents Choice one, though. Parents Choice, if you ever get a chance to use it, are only $1 so it makes it more worth it to me if they break. Also great to clean-- VERY simple to put back together. Also, I gave very strong feelings about the Tommy Tipee bottle. They absolutely suck as far as trying to get actual water out of it. You should add that to the tests next time. Some are surprisingly hard to get water out of.
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’m only twenty and long ways away from getting married and having children of my own, but these videos are fun. XD
I remember having the sippy cup that just had a plug in the lid. My family then just started using it as a water bottle as we got older. We were broke but we were living.
Anything over 3 parts didn't make it in our house with the littlests 😂 Middle is in preK and still uses the Tommee Tippee water bottle! It's the only brand we found that didn't leak - across the range! It's TT4Ever in this house!
