Is the straw open or do you have to bite the straw in order to get liquid out?

The straw is open but it requires the child to pull like any other straw. The cup is nice my only complaint is that my son usually prefers to drink from the bottom of the cup lol, and once the cup is open and the straw exposed the liquid usually falls out. But the cup is very strong and there's a place for adults to press if the child is unable to pull properly from the straw. Hope this helps.

It's open, but it's still difficult for new straw users. Playtex makes another cup that you can squeeze to assist them and it's much easier.

The top is open but there is a valve in the middle that prevents it from just pouring out.

There is no straw. It is the tilt type of bottle that has a small hole. Much easier to clean than the straws. It also has an excellent water tight seal and a loop to hook on a bag.

I can' t imagine any straw going in here. Its solid plastic and they cut a diamond shape into it to sip from. I can't get a straw in.

There is a separate straw lid that you can purchase so you don't have to unscrew that top and drink from the mouth of the bottle.

As with any straw, it's going to be difficult to drink hot liquids without burning your mouth. The straw will also heat up as the liquid is drawn through it. I, personally, wouldn't drink hot liquids but it's your choice.

i take the straw out. you really have to pull hard, not so easy the first few times. and then i use a straw brush. i also use this for milk.

No straw U just push a button and it opens I loved mine and bought 4 but after closing the lid too tight I guess too many times (granted im 90lbs) and running thru the dishwasher 4-5x the lids all started leaking, cracking around the rim

I have not had issues with straw leaks unless it's held upside down for an extended period of time. I have a hard time getting water out after a few sips, but my daughter will guzzle half the glass of water before coming up for air! I think it's because it's built for infant/toddler mouths, not adult mouths!

They have to suck to get the liquid. It frustrates my 18 month old to no end. It was easy to clean. I ended up buying a straw sippy cup (those are not fun to clean).

It does not leak out of the lid or the rubber grommet. Its a water tight fit. The straw is hard to get in the grommet tho. You have to get it wet first and twist it while you push it in the lid. Liquid will come out of the straw tho, but that part is expected. We love the lids.

Well, neither really. You push them on and there is a rubber ring that creates a seal. Does that make sense? It does create a nice tight seal that won't leak. However, on top you will either have the straw opening or the sipper side open. The plastic piece slides back and forth to expose one or the other, you can't have both sides closed. So, it's not going to leak on you as you drink, but you won't be able to throw these in a bag and go.

The lid screws on. There is an flap that comes up and a hole where the drink comes through and yes, you can put a straw through it.

Yup. The liquid will not automatically come out. I love it though. I bought this twice.

I tried it today and you can but it's a little more difficult than I would prefer. The straw works great tho!

These don't come with a straw. It's a flow spout that you press a button to open.

You do not need to use the (inner plastic) straw. And... yes, you can just turn and pour without having to touch mouth (just tried). But, it comes out a bit slowly and you need to squeeze it (outer rubber mouthpiece) with your fingers if you aren't using teeth.

No. It just bends when the top is close so nothing leaks out. But, other than that it's just a regular straw.
