Non spill cups

I'm after some non spill cups that wont leak in my bag when we go out, but will withstand the dishwasher lots of times. I've tried all sorts of cups, but just cant find one that works well. Preferably cheapish, as I'd like to buy 4 or 5, but it'd be worth paying extra if they work and last.
Any suggestions?

    Is it for hot drinks or just for water/juice etc? I found the ones that are really leak proof do tend to cost more.
  • Just cold drinks, squash, or milk usualy. I've tried the tommi tippy (sorry spl) ones, but after a while they've all leaked.
  • Anywayup cups. But...supposed to be bad for teeth unless just used with water.

  • The avent ones are quite frankly pants. Can't use all of it in a dishwasher unless you get a little cage for the inner bits and the white spout on the 4/6 month+ ones seems to discolour easily. Like the PP said if they are dropped they seem to come undone easily.

    I have yet to find one that is good enough to stand use from a child.

    I am trying to find a drinks holder that fits my buggy so I dont get leaks in my bag either.

    I have the nuby super sipper... they have been great.. we had an issue with 3 of their handled beaker which nuby replaced free of charge with the sip n grips which were great for a while until Squeak started biting the spouts. The super sippers have been really good though.. soft silicone spout which is a pig to get in and out of the lid.. ours have been through the dishwasher at least twice a day for the last 5 months and are like new still.

    We have a couple with straws but Squeak cant do them yet.. she can do the 18m+ one with the spout at the side so they drink like from a proper cup with no spills..

    I love ours!

    We got a tommee tippee one with a straw type spout on the top which isnt meant to leak and it just pours.

    The anyway-up ones leak after being dishwashered.. our really old ones never did (they were DS2 who is nearly 16 lol) and Squeak hates the hard spouts
