Tommee Tippee may be a funny name, but now that I have experienced the brand the name is easy to remember. Tommee Tippee creates bottles and cups that are meant to help make each transition from breast to bottle to sippy cup to toddler cup just a little easier. We had a chance to participate in a “Tommee Tippee Blog Tour” with the Mom Bloggers Club and my husband and I are extremely pleased with the cups we received for the boys. We had a chance to try the Trainer Cup – Stage 1 and the Drinking Cup – Stage 5. My boys are 25 months and 3.5 years.
We received the Trainer Cup in a 2-pack for boys. One had a turtle on it and the other an owl. My little one loved both images and they actually enticed him to drink from the new cup. The cups are easy to clean. There is a 2-piece valve inside that has to be removed during cleaning, but so far it pops back in easily and cleans well. The spout is soft, for sensitive gums. My boys used to chew these spouts off, but so far it is intact. There are handles on either side to make it easy to hold. The cup is good for 6 months and older. It holds up to 9 ounces. So far the cup has not leaked, yet it is still easy for my son to drink from. Plus, it’s BPA free!The two pack is around $7.99.
Although my little one can successfully use this trainer cup, he and my older son absolutely prefer to use the Stage 5 Drinking Cups (Explora) we received from Tommee Tippee. Those are their cups of choice nowadays. I love it for a lot of the reasons I like the Trainer Cup – it’s BPA free, cleans well, doesn’t leak and is easy to drink from. I know, because I tried myself! I hate when the boys try to drink and nothing comes out! But we didn’t have that problem this time around thanks to the Advance-flo technology. The cups are insulated, which allows the drinks to stay cooler longer. That’s great for longer trips. The cup also holds 9 ounces. A 2-pack costs $7.99. Also, the designs on the cups have not “washed off”. After repeated washings, I notice other cups designs fade or look haggard. So far these Tommee Tippee Cups are in excellent condition, even after repeatedly running them through a dishwasher.
So of the two cups I tried, I prefer the Explora truly spill proof drinking cup from Tommee Tippee for children 24 months and older. My favorite feature is the active sensor valve that was designed by a physicist to be so sensitive that liquid flows on demand, yet the cup remains truly spill and leak proof.

I would have to Agree with you about the cups. My son 18 months old uses the Tommee Tippee Cups and he loves them..
