Does this bottle leak? If the straw is down will the bottle let water out?

Leaks ALL the time if it's just thrown in a bag. This is my second one. They both leak. Don't leave anything near it you don't mind getting soggy or leave it upright at all times...the seal design is obviously terrible...

Actually it does. I noticed it doing that this morning. I just thought maybe it was because I had too much water in it, but it leaked again after I refilled the bottle.

Yes. I threw mine in the trash and got a Contigo autoseal. It doesn't leak at all and I'm much happier with it.

Mine leak when the straw is down whenever the top part is lower than the rest of the bottle.

I love mine and it has never leaked on me. When I fill it then go to screw the lid back on, the water pushes up the straw so I just drink more of the water then screw the lid on the rest of the way and I've not had any issues at all with leaking. I love mine and I use it EVERY day....

When the bottle remains upright or when you sip from it, it does not leak. When you tip it and the water reaches the cap, it will leak since there is a small round rubber "valve" that allows air into the bottle so it's easier to suck the water out. Water leaks out from the middle of the cap, not where the cap screws onto the bottle. It appears that this bottle was made to be use while upright ONLY.

So far my bottle has stood up to my 18 month old dropping and throwing it on our tile floor and it has not broke but it does leak when the straw is closed if the bottle is positioned with the top half down. :(

Yes, my first one leaked so I bought another and the second one leaks too. I may return it, or just use them in the car where they will remain right-side up all the time. Also, even when upright if the mouthpiece is open then warming air in the bottle will push a LOT of water up and out of the straw and all over your cupholder area. So if you use it in the car make sure to close it. I'd never carry one of these in a backpack. Water does really taste better though, so I'll accept the limited usefulness.

Yes it is leak proof as long as the rubber straw part is in place and the lid in the closed position. I've had no problems with mine. Hope this helps.

You have to make sure that you tighten the cap after filling it up. I haven't had an issue with it leaking.

Haven't knocked mine over "yet" so I filled it with water, put the straw in the lid and turned it on its side to test it. Water came out of the minimal area around the straw. A rubber gasket holds the lid on very tightly, but there is no gasket around the straw area. Water will leak at that point only. I love this tumbler and use it as much as possible.

It does not have the same issue. But it will leak out of the straw if it is turned over and full. Overall i like it better than the playtex!

We haven't had any leaking. But in the tipsy hands of my two year old it will spill out the top if the lid is off. :) we enjoy them outside!

It is not normal for the bottle to leak at all. Sometimes water can get trapped in the threads and get squeezed out when the lid is tightened. Make sure its not just that residual water from the threads and then return it.

I love this bottle. It does not leak. Yes it does get condensation on the bottle but I love cold water so I fill it full of ice then add water that way as the ice melts I continue to have cold water all day. Answer here...

No, it doesn't leak. It hasn't caused any trouble whatsoever. I like it a lot.

I wouldn't call it spill proof because there is a hole where the straw goes that would leak if it were on its side. That hole can be slid shut, but still not water tight. I'd call it spill resistant.

So far, I have had no issues with it leaking. Like you, the bottle is sideways and getting moved around a lot in my backpack when I take it to work.

There's a round plastic insert that goes over the top of the bottle (between the bottle part and the nipple) that keeps it from leaking. If you don't use the insert, it does leak.

No, it does not have a straw. I prefer my bottles without as it is one more thing that would be difficult to wash and keep sanitary. It has a great mouth piece and a flip over cover to protect it for cleanliness while not drinking. Love this bottle.

Hi April, yes, it will leak if you tipped over with the straw in because there is a secure dispositive that is open when you put the straw, only without the straw, the shaker is closed.

Yes, it is. Also, FYI, I am unhappy with the small hole on top, plus space around the straw that allow leaking if it tips or falls over. I read others note this & thought it would not be a problem for me, but it has been. Currently looking for one like this (I like all the other features.) w/o holes on top.

The tighter you screw the lid, the more likely the liquid will come back up through the straw. It's possible to screw the lid on just tight enough that it doesn't leak but not so tight that it comes back up through the straw.

Yes it will leak. Only good as long as it is upright. The top has a slider type opening.
