Tommee Tippee Explora Truly Spill-Proof Drinking Cup Review & Giveaway CLOSED

My kids love their sippy cups, but even though they are supposed to be spill and leak proof, they're really not. I find puddles of milk on the floor...ick! I'm lucky that I found tommee tippee explora truly spill-proof cups. The explora cup range is progressively staged to help children transition through all their drinking phases and needs with specific grips to fit little fingers and unique spouts to meet the needs of every age and support natural oral development. Unlike other sippy cup valve systems, the explora's active sensor valve is designed by a physicist to be both so sensitive that liquid flows on demand, yet remain truly spill- and leak-proof.My Take
We tried the explora truly spill proof drink cup, which is the stage 5 cup made for kids 24 months and over. Each cup holds 9 fl oz, which is perfect for my kiddos, and it's BPA-free! The cup's unique drinking spout is great for kids on the go, and it has "advance-flo" technology for easy drinking. The spout itself supports natural oral development, so no worries about teeth coming in crooked because of the cup they're using. The cup also has an insulated base, which keeps drinks cooler for longer, and it's both microwave- and dishwasher-safe. The best part, of course, is the fact that it's truly non-spill and leak-proof!
The twins are too young to use this cup, but I'm really excited to switch them over to it when they turn 2. Their cups leak like crazy, and it makes such a mess. With these cups I don't have to worry about the twins turning them upside down and having all the milk leak out. Being able to use it in the dishwasher is also fantastic (even though we can't since our dishwasher is for meat dishes/utensils only). I'd really like to get the whole set of tommee tippee explora cups to use with the new baby. With the twins, I didn't switch them to sippy cups until after they turned 1, and that was such a mistake. I really should've started them around 6 months, but I couldn't find a good sippy cup. Now that I have, I wish I had had them all along.
Cost: You can buy a set of two tommee tippee explora spill proof cups at Toys 'R Us for $7.99 ($$$).
Overall: We give tommee tippee explora spill proof cups a 10/10!
