what kind of cups do your kids use?

I don't know what I'm looking for. My kids can drink fine out of a cup, but they are careless and accident prone, so I'm looking for something that doesn't spill, but isn't a baby/toddler cup KWIM?

My kids use regular cups, but I don't let them walk around and drink. They can only drink at the table or the island while sitting

Normally they are only allowed to drink in the kitchen, but when someone is sick and convalescing on the couch I give drinks in a sports water bottle to prevent spills.

At this point my kids use glass cups. I also have plastic mugs from various trips we have taken (Hershey, Sesame Place) that are personalized. The kids have to drink at the kitchen table in our home as well.

Will the boys use sports bottles? My boys are into that right now. They have a bunch they got free a parties and stuff and seem to feel more cool with these. I also am big on them drinking lots so they can take these all throughout the house.

We use the tupperware kids cups. They only drink at the table.

The take-and-toss cups with straws. DS is accident prone with liquids, why make more work for myself? It has a lid that will leak if dropped but not that much.

My school aged children use regular cups, except in bed bc they have been known to fall asleep while holding a glass and I just don't feel like dealing with the mess.

The rest of the day, regular glasses, if they spill, they spill.

Both girls use regular cups. Outside of at the table they drink those small bottles of poland springs with the screw on caps. They are allowed to have those in their room. When they are sick and ped wants them to have warm fluids I got those disposible hot cups with the spout not the kid ones but the adult solo cups.

Ds is still little so we use a lot of straw sippies but like a pp said, we also use a camelbak as do I, I feel like I drink a lot more water throughout the day having this on me all the time. They sell kids ones but I feel like it leaks a lot, maybe that's because he is so little so it gets knocked over a lot. Since your kids are older that probably won't be as much of an issue. They sell insulated ones too. They have them at target, sports authority and even ll bean.

Another good option are the funtainers. I pack those for lunch and activities. They are harder to spill since they have a small straw. Plus they keep the stuff cold

DD is 6.5, she uses anything from glasses to water bottles to her straw cups leftover from a few years ago. She only drinks water and milk on occasion so she drinks all over the house.

Re: what kind of cups do your kids use?

We use those plastic cups you get from restaurants. They usually come with a lid so you can put a straw. They only drink at the table or if they are standing in the kitchen. If they have to drink on the go, I just add the lid and straw so they don't spill in the car.
