TUM TUM Tippy Up Free Flow Sippy Cup (No Valve), Sippy Cup for Toddlers, 200ml, BPA Free (Betsy Bear S3)

We don't use straw valves in any of our baby cups or toddler water bottles, which makes them free flow. Simply put, they are very easy to drink from. No straining, biting or over sucking required. Sip and receive water. That's it.

When the lid is open it's free flow.

When out and about flip the lid shut. It squishes the straw flat and cuts off the flow. You can sling it around, pop it in your bag and head off on your travels.

When the lid is closed it's leakproof.

Not sure how to do the drinking? No worries. Any way up is fine. The nifty weighted straw follows the water, so that no matter which way you try to drink you can sip and receive water.

Clever eh?!

Why? I hear you cry. It's because a short straw means that the tongue tip rises up to meet the end of the straw, thus enabling a more natural sipping action. With a long straw, the tip of the straw goes towards the back of the mouth, whereby different oral muscles are employed that aren't required for natural sipping.

Technical stuff.

Not so many complicated crevices to clean due to the lack of straw valves to get around. Simple cup with a simple straw. Use warm soapy water and hand wash ideally, but it can go in the dishwasher too. If used for milk, let it soak and give it a more thorough clean (especially if left to stand).

As our little ones grow up, so does their capacity to take on water. That's why we have two handy sizes to choose from. 200ml and 300ml.

Only suitable for cold drinks. If used for warm milk for example, vapour pressure is created which forces the milk down the cup and up and out of the straw. Instead use our lovely 3 Way Trainer Cup for warm drinks. it has a steam release hole and you can also press the middle of the lid to force the water or milk gently out of the straw so that straw refusers can make the connection that drinks comes from a straw.

There's a lot to choose from. Who's your favourite? How about Pete? He's the Polar Bear hiding at the back. He has super powers that mean he glows in the dark. Perfect for bedtime water!

Multi award winning too, but we don't like to brag.

The environment is important to us. That's why we sell replacement straws, instead of having to buy a new cup and why all our packaging is very simply made from recyclable card.
