Once my son learned to drink from a straw, he refused to drink out of the normal sippy cups which meant I had to find just the right sippy cup with a straw. I went through several before making this a permanent addition. We had one cup that was almost impossible to clean and finally I used a knife to... review »

Playtex's Insulator Sport Straw Cups come in the same colors and patterns as the sippy cups. Mine are purple and pink to suit HRH's feminine tastes. Instead of a lateral spout, the child sips from a silicone straw which cannot be removed from the top of the cup. A flip-top is built into the lid and can... review »

The Playtex Insulator Straw Cup in the nine ounce size may be purchased at many mass market retailer locations.  It is a decent cup for those looking for features like spill proof, insulated, refillable, travel, and age appropriate cup for their child or young toddler.  The cup is easy to fill, but hard to clean.  The straw tends to clog up and is terribly frail.  My toddler bit pieces off while using it.  Not a cup that is safe for a teething toddler unless used with extreme supervision.  I was not able to find replacement straws for this model at any store in my local area.  I would only...

Playtex Insulator sports cup can keep a drink cold for hours. Its strong durability is a plus especially when you have a child who is a constant thrower. The straw stays put and the straw cover is a added plus to keep sanitary and clean on outings.

This cup is my son's favorite. We love the colors and the design. We found that after several months of use the one flaw that I found in cleaning this straw sippy cup is after pulling the straw out if you look in there you will find mold and black gunk that is impossible to get out. I  washed this cup by hand and by dishwasher and still can't seem...

             These cups are great.  They come in so many colors and have anything your child would want on them.  I have diego and princess ones.  The kids just love them.  They are also very durable.  We use them all day, every day.  The kids throw them or drop them and the straw doesn't move and the cup doesn't break.  It was also nice to see that there are usually replacement straws in the stores when you need them.  I'm am really glad they have these cup available.

this product is well worth paying for.  its durable-my 2 yr. old son has thrown it on the ground many times and it has not broke.  easy to clean and store.  i also have a 15 month old granddaughter that drinks from these cups without any problems.  she has also thrown it on the ground a few too many times and still intact.  great for on the go, except when they turn the cup upside down- it'll drip quaranteed.  love this product.  bought more for my neices and nephews.

After my son was broke from the bottle and he had been on sippy cups for a while my husbad and I thought these cups would be a good experience to moving forward. When we gave the cup to our son he didnt know what to do with it because the straw was bendy and he was used to turning the cup upside and this one would leak all over him. So we used these cups for maybe a week then we gave them away.

My daughter loved this cup I hate the difficulty in cleaning the straw. Also I wanted to buy new straws because my Daughter is a staw biter and I had a hard time finding refills. I did manage to find the refills but they were almost as expensive as buying a new cup.
