Tommee Tippee Explora Sippy Cups {Review & Giveaway}

In the two years that Angelica has been using sippy cups, we have gone through just about every brand under the sun. I have been tirelessly seeking a cup that truly does not leak. I've had a few cups that did okay, but over time either the valves clogged or they just didn't hold up.

I wish I had found Tommee Tippee's Explora truly spill-proof sippy cups two years ago!

First of all, these cups are super, super cute. I'm secretly happy that we got the two that we did, because Angelica had been asking for a flower cup, and a butterfly cup -- of which we had neither. Enter Tommee Tippee -- we now have both!

First, notice the super cool feature these cups have -- a built in cap! This can help keep your cups sanitary while sitting in your diaper bag, purse, car, or wherever you might keep them.

Second, these cups are durable! Angelica has a tendancy to throw things (what two year old doesn't?) and these cups withstand that abuse.

At 11 ounces, they can hold enough water, juice, or milk to keep your kid hydrated and satisfied.

Best of all, they're BPA free! I am all about avoiding that nasty chemical in my cups.

The unique valve system that Tommee Tippee uses helps make these cups spill-proof, and, for people like me who haven't yet made it to the 20th century and don't have a dishwasher, the design is incredibly easy to hand-wash!

Most importantly of all, Angelica truly loves her Tommee Tippee Explora sippy cups. She prefers them over her Dora cups and her Toy Story cups, which is saying a lot! The spout is designed to be ergonomically correct for a child's development, so I have to imagine that her preference for these cups means they are really comfortable.
